The Gen X Files

-or How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours and 11 Minutes (for the completists).

For our second epic comedy, we have this fantastic period comedy about the early days of men trying to fly.

Starring Stuart Whitman, Sarah Miles, James Fox, Alberto Sordi, Robert Morley, Gert Frobe, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Irina Demick, Eric Sykes, Terry-Thomas, Red Skelton, Benny Hill, and Yujiro Ishihara. Written and directed by Ken Annakin. Produced by Daryl F. Zanuck.

Join us as we delve into the greatest, most epic comedy of all time: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, from Stanley Kramer, starring dozens of the greatest comedians of all time: Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Buddy Hackett, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, Dick Shawn, Phil Silvers, Terry-Thomas, Jonathan Winters, Edie Adams, and Dorothy Provine. Including an insane amount of cameos and guest stars in the epic 197-minute run time. It's 60 years old, but is still one of the funniest movies ever made.

Pull up a spot on the floor on listen to your old stepdads talk about body horror, the movies and tv shows we've been watching this month, what video games we've been playing, and a special guest (for real this time)!

This isn't your mama's werewolf movie... in fact, it isn't a werewolf movie at all! It's Wolfen, based on the Whitley Streiber novel, directed by Michael Wadleigh, in his only feature film directing foray. Starring Albert Finney, Diane Venora, Edward James Olmos, Gregory Hines, Tom Noonan, and Dick O'Neill.

Strap yourself in for a trippy mindbender from the one and only intensely insane director, Ken Russell. Featuring psychedelic drugs and sensory deprivation tanks, it's the feature film debut of William Hurt and also stars Blair Brown, Bob Balaban, and Charles Haid. The production was so intense, it might have just killed Paddy Chayefsky.

While appearing to be a 'remake' of a beloved 1956 thriller, based on a 1955 novel, but much like the Pod People, there's way more to the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers than what appears on the surface. Starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, Jeff Goldblum, and Veronica Cartwright and Directed by Philip Kaufman. It's one of the best movies we've ever covered and deserves to be watched in the Halloween season.

In this episode, we wrap up Bill Pullman Month by talking to Bill Pullman! But really, we discuss his early movies, how much he means to us, and what movies, TV shows, and video games caught our attention during the month.

For our third Bill Pullman movie, we're covering one of his best performances in one of the weirdest movies we've ever seen: Brain Dead. Also starring Bill Paxton, Bud Cort, Nicholas Pryor, and Patricia Charbonneau. Written by Charles Beaumont 27 years prior and directed by Adam Simon. It's a wild and wacky movie that you have to see to believe.

Today, we celebrate Friday the 13th by exploring our second Bill Pullman film, and his first leading role: The Serpent and the Rainbow, directed by Wes Craven. It's a weird fever dream of drugs and zombies and voodoo and the political turmoil of Haiti in the mid-'80s. It's a hell of a journey.

With this episode, we start our most unexpected month, honoring the early movies of one of our favorite actors: Bill Pullman. He's a brilliant comedic talent, and our first Bill Pullman movie proves it. It's Ruthless People, from ZAZ (Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker), the guys who brought you Airplane!, Top Secret!, and The Kentucky Fried Movie. Co-starring Danny DeVito, Bette Midler, Judge Reinhold, and Helen Slater.
