The Rad Carpet is back to brave the elements for its first of two episodes on the narrative work of daredevil German auteur Werner Herzog. Thom, Whalen, and CJ5K slap on their conquistador duds for a reckoning with Herzog favorite Aguirre, The Wrath of God, before splitting takes on the director’s more subdued follow up, The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser. But first, your Carpeteers square the circle of life with a Carpet Cleaning segment reappraising the 1994 Disney classic The Lion King. We just can’t wait to be rad!

There better not be onions in that guacamole, because The Rad Carpet is back to dip a chip into three more films from writer/director Nicole Holofcener! Thom, Whalen, and CJ5000 watch and discuss Holofcener’s 2006 film Friends With Money, her 2010 film Please Give, and her acclaimed 2013 film Enough Said, pairing Julia Louis Dreyfus and James Gandolfini, before wrapping up the month with a big-picture look at Holofcener’s work in the Wall to Wall Carpet segment. But first, enjoy a brand new “In or Out?”, where your Carpeteers unfurl some takes on the work of Luke Wilson and Chris Pratt. Thanks for listening--stay rad!

Do you need the new Rad Carpet as much as we need you to need the new Rad Carpet? Thom, Whalen, and CJ5K are back to confide in one another over the films of Nicole Holofcener, starting with her 1996 debut film Walking and Talking and 2001’s Lovely and Amazing. The guys then break out the brushes for another installment of Carpet Cleaning, here rewatching and reassessing Bryan Singer’s out-of-nowhere hit The Usual Suspects.

The latest episode of The Rad Carpet is a genetically modified super pod! Join Thom, Whalen, and CJ5000 as they deliver delicious takes on the English-language works of Bong Joon-ho, including 2013’s surprise hit Snowpiercer and the brand new Netflix exclusive Okja. The Carpeteers then jump the rails for a “Wall To Wall Carpet” segment wherein they discuss some broader themes and concerns in Bong’s work at large. But first, they transfer to the Darjeeling Limited for another game of “In or Out?”, weighing the merits of Oscar winners Adrien Brody and Anjelica Huston.

The Rad Carpet is dumping toxic takes straight into the Han River in this, its first of two episodes on the work of Bong Joon-Ho. Join Thom, Whalen, and CJ5000 as they explore two of Bong’s odd and beguiling early-period Korean films, including his hit monster drama The Host and his overlooked neo-noir Mother. But first, the guys have some Carpet Cleaning to take care of, rewatching and reassessing the 1990 romcom favorite Pretty Woman.

Live from Rad Carpet’s old stomping grounds on Staten Island, NY, Thom, Whalen, and CJ5000 offer a rapid-fire recap of the first annual Rad Carpet Movie Marathon! Your Carpeteers, bleary-eyed after a robust schedule of watching movies and housing pizza and bagels, reflect on the weekend with lightning-round takes on all 12 of the films they watched together, including the new Marvel film Spider-Man: Homecoming, Paul Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers, Russ Meyer’s Ebert-penned Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, Andrzej Zulawski’s Possession, and Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood.

Hold onto your earbuds, folks, cause The Rad Carpet is back with one final episode on Edgar Wright. Before they flee the scene, Thom, Whalen, and CJ5000 have takes a-plenty on Wright’s widely acclaimed film Baby Driver. Suffice it to say, the Carpet is not shimmying along to the critical consensus. Once the Baby Dribble… ahem, Baby Driver takes have cooled down, there’s a mercifully brief "Wall to Wall Carpet" segment, reviewing Wright’s use of pop music throughout his filmography and wrapping up some general impressions of his work as a whole. There’s also a round of "In or Out?" on the docket, as the bad boys of film podcasting vroom-vroom their thoughts on Jim Carrey and Scarlett Johansson.

WE ARE RAD CA-CARPET! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! You heard right: Thom, Whalen, and CJ5K are back to continue their month-long discussion of fanboy favorite Edgar Wright in anticipation of his just-released film Baby Driver, here covering his woefully underappreciated 2010 comic adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

You’ve got red on you, cause The Rad Carpet is back to discuss hyper-stylish UK director Edgar Wright in anticipation of his upcoming film Baby Driver, with this episode covering his cult hit TV show Spaced and his Three Flavours Cornetto film trilogy: Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007), and The World’s End (2013). Does Spaced stand the test of time as a hip sitcom send-up? Does Wright’s fan-favorite homage trifecta push beyond its dense referentiality to emerge as great genre cinema in its own right? Before they dig in, the Carpeteers hash out an appropriately UK-centric “In or Out?” two-fer, weighing in on Ricky Gervais and Kate Winslet.

Goody goody gumdrops, The Rad Carpet is foaming green at the mouth for their third and final early John Waters episode! Thom, Whalen, and CJ 5000 are headed straight to Mortville to discuss Waters’ profane fairy tale Desperate Living before unfurling the first ever Wall to Wall Carpet segment, wherein they pull together the unseemly threads of all four early Waters films discussed over the last month.
