The Hell With This

Howdy! Remember us? No? Well, shucks. Welcome back to another episode of THE HELL WITH THIS. Your hosts Mark and Chad have been briefly reunited to bring you a, uhm, podcast… where we talk about… things and stuff. This week's "things and stuff" is an audience requested number, "The Ice Pirates", a not-as-forgotten-as-it-probably-should-have-been film from 1984! The fellas also discuss the state of sci-fi (and possibly where "it went wrong").

Performers of note: Robert Urich, Mary Crosby, Michael D. Roberts, Anjelica Huston, John Matuszak, Ron Perlman and John Carradine.

This week's movie is a legitimate classic - a 1999 documentary entitled "American Movie". We're digging it up because maybe the world's forgotten it, or maybe you're just one of those folks who missed it at the time. In any case, it's a goddamned treasure - and you should see it.

This week Mark and Chad tackle a 2014 film that seemingly snuck right by audiences. What we can say is this: if you haven't seen the trailer for the movie: don't. The trailers stupidly spoil the film but, fortunately, Mark and Chad went in blind (to a movie about mapping the human eye... surely there's a pun here somewhere). As always, the first half of the podcast is spoiler-free - so if you haven't seen I Origins, come listen to the beginning of the podcast, then go watch the movie before finishing the 2nd half of the podcast with us.

We made the mistake of picking a movie with an easily mistaken title. Is it "Haunting of Hill House"? Or "House on Haunted Hill"? We're not entirely sure, either, but this week we've chosen ONE of those to peruse and meander on. To make matters worse, Mark and Chad can't recall any of the names they reference in this particular episode. What year is it? Where are we? Who are you?

Chad is back - just in time to take a swim in the pool of weird, man. This week the boys check out the 2018 film "Mandy", starring Nicolas Cage from a director that both Mark and Chad agree is one to keep an eye on in the coming years (Panos Cosmatos).

Performers of note: Nicolas Cage, Andrea Riseborough, Linus Roache, Ned Dennehy, Bill Duke, Panos Cosmatos

Podcasting guru Jake Lloyd (aka our corporate overlord) sits in with our only useful co-host (aka Mark Alan Heiliger - not to be confused with Mark Alan Highlander). The two of them combine their efforts to pull this week's movie out of a hat (actually). That movie just so happened to be 2016's fart epic "Swiss Army Man", which Jake loves and Mark hadn't seen yet. If you're afraid to watch this movie - maybe the trailer turned you off - just... give it a shot. Please. Do it. Ultimately, if you hate it, it's really your own fault for not listening to your initial gut instinct (but you'll probably love it anyway). *- Editor's note: the person writing this blurb has not seen the movie, so you can't really take this seriously, can you? But go rent the movie. And listen to the podcast.

Mark and first-time guest Chris Tonick wax on about their past days of working together, their combined love of "The House with a Clock in Its Walls" (the book and the movie, respectively) and their enjoyment of this week's insane film: "Master of the Flying Guillotine". Chad, on the other hand, is still on hiatus... because work.

We're EXCITED AF to release a new episode. We're slightly less excited that it's our LONGEST EPISODE EVER, but maybe you just want to spend more time with us. This week Mark sits down with guest Ryan Wick to discuss the inner workings of David Lynch's "Lost Highway" - one of Lynch's less than adored and oft misunderstood films. Chad is currently on a hiatus for the next few weeks as he wraps a TV show.

Performers of note: Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, Robert Blake, Balthazar Getty, Gary Busey, Robert Loggia.

Everyone has a Japanese anime/manga phase, right? Maybe? No? Fine, whatever, but we did - at some point - we, as in, Mr. Mark Alan Heiliger, Chad Philip Peter and guest Matt "Lank" Hingstman. The fellas check out a live action film adaptation of one of Chad's favorite Japanese comic books, "BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL"!

Here's a hint: the movie isn't as exciting as the title - but our conversation MIGHT be!
