Uncanny Cinema episodes

  • Sorry to Bother You (2018)

    We take a look at Sorry to Bother You, the bizarre satirical-magical realism-sci-fi film. It's fresh, it's delightfully weird, and it's by first-time director Boots Riley, who we hope isn't a one-trick pony.

    Panelists: Jess, Steve

    1 hr 56 min
  • Megan Is Missing (2011)

    Our inadvertent back-to-school movie is Megan Is Missing, the dark horror/exploitation/PSA film reviled by some and despised by others. Beware.

    Panelists: Eric, Jack, Shannon

    2 hr 15 min
  • The Host (2006)

    Bong Joon-ho's The Host is our focus this go-round, as we discuss its politics, family dynamics, and big, wonderful monster fish.

    Panelists: Chris, Jason

    1 hr 36 min
  • World of Tomorrow trilogy (2015-2020)

    Don Hertzfeldt of Rejected fame has crafted a weird, dark, and wonderful sci-fi trilogy under the World of Tomorrow banner, and we bask in the glory of his work. Seriously, go find these.

    Panelists: Eric, Jack

    1 hr 50 min
  • Captain America (1990)

    We do our part for the war effort by putting ourselves on the front line of Captain America, a 1990s time capsule that might have been better off staying in the ice.

    Panelists: Jimmy, David

    1 hr 39 min
  • Society (1989)

    We make a great contribution to Society with our analysis of the film of the same name. Not for the faint of heart, this horror movie is recommended for fans of practical effects, feeling physically ill, and shuntings.

    Panelists: Dusty, David

    1 hr 48 min
  • Quick Change (1990)

    For our 50th episode, we look at the criminally underseen Bill Murray classic Quick Change, discussing its standout moments, relaying New York stories, and building a simmering hatred for the movie Ghost.

    Panelists: Eric, Steve, Fabs

    1 hr 49 min
  • The Avengers (1998)

    We watch the cinematic messterpeiece The Avengers featuring a scenery-chomping Sean Connery. Recommended for fans of studio interference, robobees, tea, and 100% accurate science.

    Panelists: Jack, Jimmy, Nathan

    1 hr 44 min
  • Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)

    The little-seen mockumentary Drop Dead Gorgeous is a dark, and bubbly, delight, satirizing beauty pageants, small-town America, and religion. It's also a nice antidote to an overly patriotic weekend.

    Panelists: Catie, Jess, Dusty

    1 hr 49 min
  • Porkin' Across America (2012)

    In honor of July 4th we are looking at the unheralded comedy classic Porkin' Across America, a dark web series from The Onion. So strap on a bib, mix up a big bowl of pork salad, and pour some pig's blood to wash it down - we're porkin'!

    Panelists: Eric, Steve, Chris
