Two Geeks and a GIT Classic Movie Reviews

A favorite time-travel film for Buddy and Jeff, and a fun introduction to Chad, it's 1979's Nicholas Meyer writen and directed "Time After Time!" This film stars Malcolm McDowel, Mary Steenburgen in her 2nd film outing ever, and the incomperable David Warner. It's a fun romp through time, changes in social conventions, time travel, and, of course, love. It also features an extremely young Corey Feldman in his first-ever movie role... see if you can spot him! While a little dated, this film holds up well enough that, coming in March 2017, ABC television is premiering a series based on this film! Impress your friends with your knowledge of the series when it airs by watching the source material ahead of time!

The first horror film to completely untether the audience from traditional storytelling is our focus for this episode! Join Jeff, Buddy, and Chad as they take on 1960's Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece of terror, "Psycho!" Directed by Hitchcock, written by Joseph Stefano (based on the novel by Robert Bloch), the film stars a young Anthony Perkins in the role that re-defined his entire career, along with Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin, and Martin Balsam! This film changed the way we watched movies as well as the way stories were told... in short, this is a turning point in horror cinema and, in fact, in film itself! And, as always, hear what's ahead in Epsiodes 32 and 33!

Life, as seen through a window, can be truly fascinating... and horrifying! Join Buddy, Chad, and Jeff for Episode 17A as they focus on the Alfred Hitchcock classic "Rear Window!" Directed by Hitchcock, written by John Michael Hayes (based on a short story by Cornell Woolrich), this tale of suspicion and suspense stars Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly, Wendell Corey, Thelma Ritter, and Raymond Burr! One of the movies that created a plot type that gets used in films to this day, and one of Hitchcock's finest outings!

Even though they're not even supposed to be here today, join Buddy, Chad and Jeff for a trip to a convenience store that offers as much insight as it does humor! This week, they review writer/director Kevin Smith's maiden foray into filmmaking, 1994's Clerks! Starring Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Marilyn Ghigliotti, Jason Mewes, and Kevin Smith himself, this film informed generations of filmmakers that if you want to make a film bad enough, you can (and it can find an audience too)! Plus, it was the film that made black and white cool again, even though that's not what it set out to do!

Another of our favorite christmas films, this time it's an action-adventure story set in a warm Los Angeles evening! Of course, we're talking about 1988's "Die Hard," directed by John McTiernan and starring Bruce Willis, Gonnie Bedelia, Reginald VelJohnson, and Alan Rickman! There are those would would argue that Die Hard isn't a Christmas film, but Jeff, Buddy and Chad disagree, and will persuade you to their view if you let them. :) All this, plus a preview of which great writer, who started as an independent filmmaker and went on to become a Hollywood name, the trio will be examining next!
