The guys hop into a spaceship to witness the birth of a new miserable existence in famously-banned "On The Silver Globe." The guys muse about apocalypses (and how many you can reasonably have in one movie), various philosophies and whether or not this movie was banned for personal reasons and not because its content was incendiary. If none of this makes sense to you, then I have good news!

The List continues its lightning fast 1-episode-per-month pace with 1963's Charade. The guys talk about identity and what kind of closet they think they're spending time in when they do the synopsis. Also we talk about various ways to act inappropriately at an open casket funeral! Enjoy!

Merry Listmas everyone! Nick, Jacob and Will continue their Christmas tradition of watching an off list movie for the holiday season by watching 2003's The Hebrew Hammer. The guys have a great time with this classic-ish Christmas-ish film, discussing what it means to drink Manischewitz straight and how cold a circumcision detecter might be.

WE'RE BACK! Well, we didn't actually go anywhere, just Will has been busy but you don't care about that because it's PART PRIEST, PART DINOSAUR, ALL MAN as the guys watched Velocipastor. Nick, Jacob and Will dive deep into the silliness and fun of this campy ride, probably getting a little too nitpicky on the costumery, religious philosophy and portrayal of sex work. Anyhow, enjoy this good time with a toga yoga none of us saw coming!!

Nick, Jacob and Will get paroled from prison and are immediately lured back in to a life of crime watching 1991's Hudson Hawk. The guys try to decipher which insensitive jokes are entirely Bruce Willis and which were just his idea and workshopped later. Jacob gets to premiere his signature segment as he lambasts the Rube Goldberg DaVinci mess that is the chief macguffin of this film. Nick calls out Dan Brown for plagiarizing/improving the basic story and Will ponders if sacred oaths of chastity are mostly just suggestions. We just really wanted a cappuccino, but instead we had to do crimes.

Nick, Jacob and Will get sent to a brutally unfair private prison (in the dystopian future) and watch Riki Oh: The Story of Ricky. The guys have a great time talking about this gory, crazy martial arts film. Nick does some toga yoga, Jacob ponders the business model and Will turns "Hey, Kool Aid!" into a verb. This is a super fun episode! You should listen!!

 

Thanks Loyalty Freak Music for the awesome tunes!

CW: There is the depiction of non-consensual sex in the movie we discuss on the episode. Please pass if the subject is distressing to you and we'll catch you next week!

Nick, Jacob and Will go on a mystic quest of self discovery by watching Jodorowski's 1970 film El Topo. That's right, Alejandro Jodorowski, you know...the guy who didn't make Dune? The guys debate auteur vs con, death vs rebirth and laser vs taser. They also have a short conversation about Neil Breen's Passion of the Christ, a movie that doesn't exist!

Welcome to Season 2 of the list! Nick, Jacob and Will updated the format to bring you a shorter and tighter podcast! We debut Nick's Toga Yoga segment where he goes deep into the mythological underpinnings of the 2015 horror comedy, Krampus. The guys also talk about Checkov's Sinister Toy Bag, the logistics of a St. Elsewhere situation and why you should never go Full Gandalf. Check it out!

Nick, Jacob and Will share the same scramble suit and really aren't sure if it's been washed recently. The guys watch 2006's A Scanner Darkly and we GET INTO IT. We talk about addiction, who benefits from drug use, Heidegger's ontological death and Plato's Allegory of the Cave. But of course we can't get too heavy, we talk about cat butts, too!

Nick, Jacob and Will get animated talking about Richard Linklater's 2001 cartoon for grownups Waking Life. We meet our new podcast character "Tony Vignetti" the Italian-stereotype-who-likes-short-bits! We also talk about lucid dreaming and how to tell when you're in a dream. If you like podcasts, maybe you'll like a movie where you get talked at by a bunch of dudes, who knows! We didn't!
