Come for the whimsical but warped psychological drama, stay for the puppet sex! It's the 2nd Charlie Kaufman (directed by) movie, Anomalisa. Starring David Thewlis as a fucked up, delusional curmudgeon, Jennifer Jason Leigh as a fucked up, well-intentioned simpleton, and the great Tom Noonan as literally every other character.

Will Tobe Hooper's descent into direct-to-video madness pay off? Find out! (Or don't. It's unclear why I continue to do these.) It's 2000's early CGI & practical monster FX blended Crocodile featuring a cast of no-names who can't really act and it's a movie!

One of the longest episodes ever: it's Neil Breen's 3rd feature film, perhaps his magnum opus, 2012's Fateful Findings, and goddam it's a good one.

I finally did the next David Cronenberg review in case you thought I was gonna do those any more because it's been like months between them but I did it and I reviewed Scanners and you should watch the 2-part video-essay instead of listening to this because this is just the ripped audio from that and I think the video thing came out OK. It's right here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIPIINJHfh4&t=0s

A strikingly original movie that is easily one of the year's best. Wait what year did this come out in? What year is it now? What are "years" ? It's I'm Thinking of Ending Things, a 2020 American psychological thriller film written and directed by Charlie Kaufman. It is an adaptation of the 2016 novel of the same name by Iain Reid. The plot follows a young woman (Jessie Buckley) who goes on a trip with her boyfriend (Jesse Plemons) to meet his parents (Toni Collette and David Thewlis). Throughout the film, the main narrative is intercut with footage of a janitor (Guy Boyd) going to work, with both stories intersecting by the third act. And there is a talking maggot-filled animated pig as well. Read my full review

Spike Jonze and the Adam Horovitz/Mike D of the Beastie Boys bring their stage show to the silver screen (Apple + TV Max) and the results are extremely satisfying. Read my full review

If you were wondering what a Scorsese alt rock music video from the late 90s looked like only it lasted 2 hours, well 1999's Bringing Out the Dead is the movie for you my friends. This is Chapter 12 in my Nicolas Cage filmography series. Also starring Patricia Arquette, John Goodman, Ving Rhames, Tom Sizemore, and J-Lo's ex Marc Anthony in dreadlocks. It's Marty Scorsese's Bringing Out the Dead written by Paul Schrader! Read my full review

I live in the sewer too so I can relate pal. JK I'm doing fine (JK). Alligator is a 1980 monster animal horror film directed by Lewis Teague and written by the Academy Award nominated John Sayles. It stars Robert Forster's bald spot and big-titted lizard scientist Robin Riker. It's definitely not a rip-off of Jaws so please stop saying that! Read my full review
