A few weeks ago we discussed a list of movies that came out 20 years ago. We had such a good time doing it that we decided to push it back another decade and give you a bunch of movies, music, and cultural phenomena that occurred in the year of our lord 1985. It's a damned good time!Remember, you can be a part of the show any time you wild like. How's

Johnny Depp has had an interesting career. He's gone from TV star to private island money movie star and hit almost every imaginable point in between. This week, we are focusing on the first part of that career, back when he was trying to get away from the whole "box office idol" thing and just do weird and interesting things.

1995... I must say it was a very good year. And a very bad year.20 years ago some of the best and worst films ever were released (which, if you think about it, is true of every year) but, because 20 is a nice, round number... let's go with that.From the sublime to the ridiculous, we take a look at some of the films that defined the nineties.

There really isn't a better way to describe John Travolta than "unsinkable." He has run the gamut of Hollywood more than once, but always seems to end up on top. Yes, he makes some bad choices, but when you are regularly putting out three movies a year... that is bound to happen.By all accounts he is a nice guy who has a charm and charisma that makes him easy to like. This week we discuss Johnny T. The good, the bad, the baffling, and the ugly.Remember, you can be a part of the show any time you wild like. How's

Masculinity is a difficult concept to nail down. Sadly, because we, as people, have come to define everything in terms of absolutes and leave no room for any sort of nuance or shading "masculinity" has become sort of a bad word.  Traditional gender roles and discrimination has turned any classic idea of "masculinity" into a bad word, a way of minimizing or dismissing the efforts of women and dismissing femininity.This week we discuss why this is wrong. We also discuss why all the sexist bullshit that came before was wrong. In short... we try and figure out what it really means to be a man and how that has been represented in movies up to this point.Remember, you can be a part of the show any time you wild like. How's
