The Suspense is Killing Us

We watch three movies that dare to ask the three most profound questions in human history: Like, what even is reality, maaaaan? And what if there was a virtual version of it? Wouldn't that be cool?

STRANGE DAYS (1995, Kathryn Bigelow)10:25

VIRTUOSITY (1995, Brett Leonard) 1:23:25

THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR (1999, Josef Rusnak)2:05:55

Pour yourself some fava beans and a nice chianti because we're going to discuss three Anthony Hopkins movies that are nowhere near as good as Silence of the Lambs!

FRACTURE (2007, Gregory Hoblit)

INSTINCT (1999, Jon Turteltaub)

SOLACE (2015, Afonso Poyart)

We crawl into the dark, paranoid shadows of the golden age of film noir--that's right, the 1980's and 90's--with three gritty remakes that dared to get it RIGHT.

THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE (1981, Bob Rafelson)12:00

DESPERATE HOURS (1990, Michael Cimino) 1:03:25

THE UNDERNEATH (1995, Steven Soderbergh) 1:47:55

We examine the VERY diverse work of the late lamented Bill Paxton, who could do comedy, drama, and whatever the hell The Vagrant is supposed to be.

ONE FALSE MOVE (Carl Franklin, 1992) 19:50

THE VAGRANT (Chris Walas, 1992) 1:09:30

A SIMPLE PLAN (Sam Raimi, 1998) 1:48:15

It's time to discuss serious issues like medical abuse, Native American rights and the Soviet critter industry, as we take a look at some of the varied output of compassionate journeyman Michael Apted.

GORKY PARK (1983) 16:30

THUNDERHEART (1992) 1:00:00

EXTREME MEASURES (1996) 1:47:10

It's a knuckle-biting good time as we discuss the debatable charms of one Mr. Andy Garcia, an actor who has undeniably been in at least three films.

8 MILLION WAYS TO DIE (1986, Hal Ashby)

INTERNAL AFFAIRS (1990, Mike Figgis)

DEAD AGAIN (1991, Kenneth Branagh)

Attack of the crazed stalker ladies! Again! Watch your back, boys, because these scary sexy ladies are as scary as they are sexy, and vice-versa! The tragic influence of Fatal Attraction continues, unabated.

THE TEMP (1993, Tom Holland) 13:30

DEVIL IN THE FLESH (1998, Steve Cohen) 1:13:55

SWIMFAN (2002, John, Polson) 1:51:25

We explore heavy topics like “What is the nature of evil” and “Why was Macaulay Culkin a highly paid actor for any amount of time” in this roundup of movies about murderous moppets.

THE PAPERBOY (1994, Douglas Jackson) 9:30

THE GOOD SON (1993, Joseph Ruben) 52:40

MIKEY (1992, Dennis Dimster Denk) 1:45:35

Yes, we're only discussing three thrillers with the word "eye" in the title, but trust us, we did the math. That title is correct.

EYE FOR AN EYE (1996, John Schlesinger)

EYE SEE YOU (2002, Jim Gillespie)

RED EYE (2005, Wes Craven)

If we can only perceive the world through our own individual senses, who is to say what is real and what is a mere delusion? Well, if there are waggly-headed sex demons running around, there's a good chance you're in a Jacob's Ladder-type situation and you should get that looked at.

JACOB'S LADDER (1990, Adrian Lyne) 14:00

IDENTITY (2003, James Mangold)

SHUTTER ISLAND (2010, Marty Scorsese)
