The Criterion Correction

Dr. Zed is back in the present, but the podcast is traveling back and time to figure out how it all got started for a young carpenter who just happened to be the son of God. Join us for Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ.

For a very special 100th episode of The Criterion Correction, Ed and Dr. Zed revisit the movie that started it all: The Royal Tenenbaums.

But, something goes wrong, and what began as a trip down memory lane turns into a fight for survival as Dr. Zed tries to repair a frayed spacetime continuum…

Will The Criterion Correction survive? Will Dr. Zed? Find out on this week’s episode of Quantum Correction…

Alright. Get ready, because this week we are…not releasing our 100th episode. Instead, we’re taking a look at a movie we watched back in December. That’s right, we’re going to bring you all the Christmas feels you can imagine in March, with the Christmas-Classic-that-time-forgot: Noel, starring Robin Williams, Penelope Cruz, Susan Sarandon, and Paul Walker.

We’ve looked at the life of Bob Dylan and the fateful career trajectory of Spinal Tap. Now, we look at the heart of the punk movement and the violent tale of Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols. Don’t you just think this will have a happy ending?

The flu has struck the podcast, so we’re bringing you an unreleased Off Collection this week. And if you, like us, are feeling under the weather, we’ve got a movie that will suddenly make you a lot happier with your current circumstances. Sure, the flu is awful, but would you rather be trapped in the middle of the wilderness? Join us for the Netflix-adapted Gerald’s Game.

Have you ever wanted to buck the trend and get off the grid? Do you enjoy traveling? Now, are you—or your partner—an undiagnosed gambling addict? If the answer is yes, yes, and yes, then have we got a plan for you that’ll let you enjoy the small things. Come along as we get a little Lost in America.

We join Adam Sandler as a man who grapples with anger issues and a potentially child-like development of selfhood. Wait…that’s most Sandler movies right? Well, in Punch Drunk Love, the Sandler archetype gets a little bit of a grimmer iteration. It’s at once the epitome and antithesis of what we would call a Sandler-movie. Hooray for breaking down binaries!

Have you ever wondered why it’s called The Breakfast Club? They’re not a club and they never have breakfast! If anything, they should be called the Lunch Bunch! They’re just a bunch of random kids having lunch together. I guess maybe that wasn’t as catchy…

War is hell. And so is a late third act romantic shift from an offscreen partner. Join us as we venture beyond The Thin Red Line.

Tonight we’re gonna rock you, tonight…with a none more black episode of the Correction that focuses on armadillos. That’s right, we’re watching This is Spinal Tap.
