Uncanny Cinema

Our Bob Dylan experts tackle the sorta biopic about his life, I'm Not There., a fragmented, impressionistic painting of a film that features loads of great music.

Panelists: Matt, MJ

The Guns of Navarone is our focus this time out, an early men-on-a-mission film featuring giant guns, Greek folk dancing, and Gregory Peck's magnificent eyebrows.

Panelists: Jimmy, Eric, Devin

In this super-sized episode, we launch our first-annual April Fool's Day Switcheroo, looking at the immensely famous pop culture masterpiece Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Panelists: Jack, Eric, Jimmy

Play-turned-film Sleuth features Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier going at each other for two hours, great dialogue, and, Jack's favorite, lots and lots of puppets.

We take our sinking boat and point it home to Once, the lo-fi Irish musical that features romance, indecipherable accents, and some of the best songs you've heard in a good while.

Panelists: Chris, Carolyn, Jess

Panelists: Dusty, Tim, Layla

Panelists: Jack, Doug, Isabel

As one of our panelists put it, "The things I do for this podcast." That includes watching movies like Sir Billi, the hideous CGI cartoon that served as Sean Connery's final film!

Panelists: Eric, Ryan

The panel takes the waters by way of A Cure for Wellness, the underseen Gore Verbinski horror film. Trigger warning: eels.
