This week, the boys headed to 1970 to the new decade of the new wave of American independent cinema! Bob Rafelson’s “Five Easy Pieces” established the behavior-driven, theme-over-plot indie movies that paved the way for the best era for indies. Jack Nicholson is a badass (asshole) prodigy-turned-roustabout looking to find himself in people he’s willing to screw over in Bob Rafelson’s seminal movie. After John fires off some mini-reviews and news, we set up the film year of 1970 before we drink beers and try to keep our conversation positive!

This week, the boys grabbed some beers and kept it positive while they fired off some mini-reviews before featuring a conversation about “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. As part of the random year generator series, 2004 was a great year for movies, with over 50 $100m movies and many likable ones. While “Eternal Sunshine” didn’t gross in the top 70, it may be the year’s greatest film. Props to Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman for giving Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet some juicy roles and incredibly shifty worlds! As for the mini-reviews, the boys can’t speak highly enough of Gore Verbinski’s “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die”, starring Sam Rockwell, and the intense and captivating “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You”, and the Academy Award-nominated “It Was Just An Accident”. Grab some beers and join us!

The boys thought the San Francisco Super Bowl was so boring, we checked ourselves into Alcatraz! The random year generator spun 1979, a year we’ve visited in the past (Apocalypse Now Director’s Cut, The Warriors, 1941, Mad Max), and “Escape From Alcatraz” was the perfect movie for this frigid February weekend. After John gave us a mini-review of “Send Help”, we grabbed some beers and discussed!

This week, Jeff has some weird audio issue but powers through as the boys head way back to 1937! After a pre-show shot, a few mini-reviews to set the mood, some news about the DGA and declining industry-relevant jobs, the boys set up the year 1937- what was happening, what movies were popular- before a feature conversation about Leo McCarey’s “The Awful Truth”. Stick around and hear why John didn’t like the movie as much as Dave and Jeff!

This week, the boys head to 1945, a peaceful and chipper year in history, to discuss Billy Wilder’s masterpiece about an alcoholic, “The Lost Weekend”. After Dave and John give mini-reviews about “Mercy” (2026) and “Avatar: Fire and Ash” (2025), and John gripes about his 40-minutes of trailers ahead of “Avatar”, the boys give a brief year-in-review of 1945, before John tries to convince Dave and Jeff to elevate this ‘great’ movie to a ‘gold star’.

This week, the boys head back to 1982 to discuss Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner: The Final Cut”. Dave shared his thoughts on whether he prefers this or the original theatrical release (with or without the voice-over???), and Jeff and Dave debate how much, or how little, went into Harrison Ford wondering if he was still frozen in carbonite! Star Wars joke, we really discussed whether or not he was a replicant, of course. Jeff also got us started with a mini-review of “Song Sung Blue”. Grab a beer and listen!

This week, the boys celebrate their 300th episode with Zack Snyder’s “300”! While the commercial run began in 2007, we figured the premier at the Austin Butt-Numb-A-Thon from December 2006 was enough of an opening to category fraud “300” into our 300th episode. So we did! We drink, we laugh, John talked about “Marty Supreme”, Jeff gripes about Disney, and two out of the three boys gave the movie a gold star. Who was the holdout? Listen in!

This week, the boys drink some whiskey and head to 1960 to discuss the less famous slasher movie of the year, “Peeping Tom”! Directed by Michael Powell, this film was a major inspiration for Martin Scorsese and a terror to the people of England, leading to its removal from theaters after only 5 days. Unlike “Psycho”, it was subsequently banned from many other countries… yet today, this movie feels like a tone poem of modern culture. We give you a 1960 year-in-review and discuss.

The boys head to prison on Devil’s Island to discuss 1973’s “Papillon”! One of the highest-grossing movies of the year, this true-story account of Steve McQueen’s character befriending Dustin Hoffman’s character to help keep each other alive and prepare their escape from the no-chance-of-return prison, a world away from their native France. Made by the team behind Oscar-winner “Patton” from 1971, shot very much on location, some call this McQueen’s best performance. Before we get into it, John gives us a mini-review of “Hamnet”, the romantic drama film by Chloé Zhao starring Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley, based on the book based on the play.

This week, the boys head to the supernatural- or is it a psychological drama?- and watch Jeff Nichols’ second feature film, 2011’s “Take Shelter”. Co-starring Jessica Chastain and Shea Whigham, Michael Shannon starts to experience vivid dreams that lead him to think they may be premonitions- or are they symptoms that his mother experienced when she was diagnosed with manic schizophrenia?? John also has a mini-review of Joachim Trier's "Sentimental Value". We crack open some beers and discuss!
