The Suspense is Killing Us

Who should listen to our episode dedicated to young, live-wire Gary Oldman? EEEVVERYOOONEE!

CRIMINAL LAW (1988, Martin Campbell)

STATE OF GRACE (1990, Phil Joanau)

MURDER IN THE FIRST (1995, Marc Rocco)

For our final Spooky Season ep of 2024, we're talking about movies that hopped on the post-Scream bandwagon. Self aware riffs on the genre, where teens get slashed despite knowing what "tropes" are. What are you waiting for?!

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (1997, Jim Gillespie)

URBAN LEGEND (1998, Jamie Blanks)

CHERRY FALLS (1999, Geoffrey Wright)

Avast! Here there be monsters! And ghosts! And a kind of electricity-based alien entity that builds robots, look the point is scary shit is happening on scary boats in the ocean. And our pal Will Goss is back to make us feel less afraid.

DEEP RISING (1998, Stephen Sommers)

GHOST SHIP (2002, Steve Beck)

VIRUS (1999, John Bruno)

Get your chopper and strap on your colors: it's time to be a big, gross, bike riding SOB and come to terms with all of your shit. We are the 1%. The Odin blessed, ass-kicking podcast that will take you to Valhalla!

STONE COLD (1991, Craig R. Baxley)

HARLEY DAVIDSON AND THE MARLBORO MAN (1991, Simon Wincer)

BEYOND THE LAW (1993, Larry Ferguson)

Oh no, there was a mistake at the factory and somehow the only movies we watched were from the little-loved secret society thriller The Skulls franchise from the early aughts! But don't worry, we're the ones paying the price for our mistake.

THE SKULLS (2000, Rob Cohen)

THE SKULLS 2 (2002, Joe Chappelle)

THE SKULLS 3 (2004, J. Miles Dale)

We take you back to the nostalgia-rich Cold War of the 1980's, when the Russians were, like, still bad guys, but...kind of different? Do svidaniya, don't get any on ya!

FIREFOX (1982, Clint Eastwood)

LITTLE NIKITA (1988, Richard Benjamin)

RED HEAT (1988, Walter Hill)

We're finally talking about a very special man. Enigmatic, exciting, seductive and irresistible—of course, I'm referring to The Mothman! But Richard Gere is in a movie about him and he's worth talking about, too!

RED CORNER (1997, Jon Avnet)

THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES (2002, Mark Pellington)

THE DOUBLE (2011, Michael Brandt)

There was once a time known as the mid to late aughts, when the culture was at an ebb and bland bros ruled the land. One director, DJ Caruso, bestrode this brief period like a colossus. Look upon his works and sigh heavily!

TWO FOR THE MONEY (2005)

DISTURBIA (2007)

EAGLE EYE (2008)

Freeze, (literal) slime bag! You have the right to remain...from another planet? The War On Crime just got a lot more otherworldly with three cop movies that also feature Space Guns!

THE HIDDEN (1987, Jack Sholder)

I COME IN PEACE (1990, Craig R. Baxley)

MONOLITH (1993, John Eyres)

We're discussing the late-career output of legendary director John Frankenheimer—a man whose films always looked great, even when everything else about them was bad.

DEAD BANG (1989)

YEAR OF THE GUN (1991)

RONIN (1998)
