In this episode, regular guest Tom Ratzlaff and I discuss six movies shot in glorious black and white photography.  Tom and I both agree that this is a strong group of six films.  This episode is the first time that half points have been used in an episode, and it features some movies that are close to Tom's heart.

As always, thank you for supporting this podcast.  Please tell the movie fans in your life about it!  Keep safe, as we move into the autumn of 2020!

Regular Rank N Review guest, and future regular Shelf Shedding Movie Show guest, Lee Beckmann and I discuss six controversial movies: Crash (1996), The Last Temptation of Christ, Last Tango in Paris, Natural Born Killers Director's Cut, The Exorcist, and Eyes Wide Shut European Cut.  This is a longer episode, but we discuss our thoughts on the controversial subjects of sex, religion, and violence in cinema.  Enjoy this week's episode!

In this episode, my guest Brandon Snowsell and I discuss the world of sales (as well as relgion and literary interpretation) as we review five films: Jerry Maguire, Glengarry GlenRoss, Wall Street, Death of a Salesman, and Elmer Gantry.  This is a fun episode since Brandon and I end up in very different places with most of the movies.

This episode was recorded live on Streamyard to make up for a recording that did not work with returning guest Dan Buday.  In this show, I summarize both of our perspectives on six vampire movies: Blade II, Shadow of the Vampire, Bram Stoker's Dracula, From Dusk Till Dawn, Interview with the Vampire, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1.  Since this episode was live, I did not edit it and did not include the usual trailers before each review.  I may add these trailers as supplemental material at a later date.

Please continue to like and share the show on Facebook, Spotify and Stitcher (where it is now available for the first time!). Please send feedback to [email protected]

Take care and be safe!

This week, my guest critic Tim Hildebrand video conferenced me from Burbank, California to discuss six science fiction movies: District 9, Edge of Tomorrow, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Plan 9 from Outer Space, War of the Worlds (2005), and Aliens.  

Two important announcements:

1.  I have only one week to find a home for the movie that earned the least number of points - it is a good one!

2.  After an unfortunate incident, I am re-recording Episode 12 by creating a live, interactive show on Facebook - please join me as I recap a show I did with Dan Buday about Vampires.

Please continue to share this podcast with movie fans in your life, and enjoy my new website.  Please send me feedback at [email protected]

Take care and be safe!

In this double elimination episode, my sister Michelle Dubray and I discuss four films starring Meryl Streep: Out of Africa, Manhattan, Sophie's Choice, and A Prairie Home Companion.  As always, there will be spoilers for these four movies. 

Losing half of my movies in an episode will be a regular feature every ten episodes, and this was a painful shedding of my shelf.  Please like and share this show on Facebook.  All the best, and continue to keep safe during COVID-19!

Returning guest Tom Ratzlaff and I discuss the nostalgia of going to the Drive-In by reviewing five films from 1969 to 1972 - Bananas, Five Easy Pieces, MASH, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Play Misty for Me.  As always, there will be SPOILERS for the five films.  This was another ZOOM podcast, so I apologize for any moments where the sound quality is not as strong.

Further to the episode from two weeks ago, my brother asked that I give away my DVD copy of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves to entertain someone during this time of social isolation.  The first person who replies to this post, can have that movie.  We will arrange a safe way to get it to you.  

Enjoy the show and continue to be safe!

My guest this week, and my younger brother, Craig Dubray go back to our nostalgic youth with five movies starring Kevin Costner from 1989 to 1993: Field of Dreams, A Perfect World, JFK Director's Cut, Dances with Wolves, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.  This was the first episode where I recorded on Zoom, so I apologize for any audio glitches. As usual, there will be spoilers for the five movies we review.

As a bonus this week, a listener can win the film that is being shed from my shelf.  The first person to message The Shelf Shedding Movie Show through Facebook Messenger or email [email protected] will win the DVD or BluRay.  You must identify the movie that received the lowest number of points, and we will find a safe way for you to get the movie for free.

This week's show will be my first solo show, due to the COVID-19 "stay at home" initiative.  

This episode will be a figurative shedding of four nominees from the last Academy Awards ceremony.  I will give short reviews of Ford Vs. Ferrari, The Irishman, Jojo Rabbit, Joker, Little Women, Marriage Story, 1917, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Parasite then spread 90 points among them to determine which 5 movies deserved Best Picture nominations based on the old model of nominees in that prestigious category.

I try to not spoil too much from these films.  Since I did not have a guest this week, please give me your thoughts and opinions at [email protected]

Please also share this episode, so I can find more listeners out there on the Internet. 

In two weeks, there will be a more traditional show with a guest (the first family member I have had as a guest critic!)

Please take care of yourselves and stay safe!  

In this difficult times, a show dedicated to the steadiness of Jeff Bridges is very much needed.  Rank N Review host, Larry Parsons, and myself review The Fabulous Baker Boys, The Contender, The Big Lebowski, Crazy Heart, Hell or High Water, and True Grit.  We discuss the themes of music, bowling, the southwestern United States, and the greatness of Mr. Bridges and the Coen brothers.  Please check out Larry's podcast, Rank N Review, at www.ranknreview.ca

Please share The Shelf Shedding Movie Show as I continue to produce new episodes - though they may be different in format as we go through this strange times.  Enjoy this episode and stay safe!
