We did it! In the 200th episode of the show we gathered together with a panel of all-star co-hosts to talk about the namesake of the show, the Safdie Brothers' Uncut Gems. In this show we reminisce for a little while about our journey with this podcast, reveal some of our plans for the future and also, naturally, talk about the movie. We talk about Adam Sandler in "serious" movies, how the film's frenetic style makes Uncut Gems and experience, how difficult it is to keep Sandler and Kevin Garnett in the frame together, and how this is the remake of The Gambler the world deserved. We also talk about Howard keeping a change of clothes in his car in case he ends up locked in the trunk naked, Lakeith Stanfield in his glow-in-the-dark hoodie as a visual standout and how it is definitely a red flag when your girlfriend gets your name tattooed on her ass as a surprise.
Tune in and enjoy this momentous occasion with us!

In this episode of the show we are taking our Ritchie-Statham conversations into a whole new dimension as the universe of crime comedies complicated by their plot-related shenanigans make space for faux-philosophical musings about the nature of the self in the 2005 Revolver. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Guy Ritchie trying to lean into Lynchian filmmaking and coming across as a little bit pretentions, Jason Statham rocking long hair in an act of artistic denial and just how much hiring philosophers to talk over the end credits can do to a movie. We also talk about Ray Liotta lounging in speedos, Ritchie looking past Tarantino and perhaps finding Seijun Suzuki against his better judgment and whether Revolver is an abstract painting or an exercise in waterboarding.

In this Bonus Tie-in podcast we are adding to our November conversations about the partnership between Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie with a great chat about their arguably biggest hit, Snatch. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the growth of Ritchie and how this movie differs from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels while remaining largely symmetrical in structure and tone. We also talk about the rise of Brad Pitt, the allure of working class gangsters and much more!

In this episode of the show we are beginning our November exploration of the professional partnership between Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie. Thus, we begin with their debut, the 1998 Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the influence of Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith and Robert Rodriguez making a mark on British cinema, the complexity of the film's plot and the ridiculousness of its comedy. We also talk about Statham's straight man energy, the many differences between US and UK cinema and much more!

In this episode of our ongoing 2024 comprehensive Spike Lee feature retrospective, we are slowly inching close to the finish line and we are now taking on one of Lee's most resounding recent successes, the 2018 BlacKkKlansman. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Spike Lee not mincing his words any more, how this movie uses history to comment on current times, and how racial divisions in America are a interwoven with class and other issues. We also talk about the film using outright entertainment and nods to cinema to make its case, John David Washington and Adam Driver pulling out all the stops and much more!

In this episode of the show we are touching base with Spike Lee again and this time we are taking on a double bill of Red Hook Summer and Da Sweet Blood of Jesus. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Red Hook Summer functioning as a spiritual sequel to Do The Right Thing, how it's a dense sermon spanning gentrification, cultural homelessness of working class America, false prophets and the fallacy of American Dream and how it is the most personal film Spike Lee made since the late 90s. We also talk about how Da Sweet Blood of Jesus uses an existing genre movie to take the temperature of American upper classes, how Spike Lee uses the themes of vampirism to discuss greed and detachment and how this movie forms a duet with Red Hook Summer.

In this very special show, we are tying into our Carpentober conversations with a great chat about the movie that put John Carpenter on the map and became his biggest success, namely the 1978 Halloween. Over the course of our conversation, you will hear us talk about the enduring legacy of this movie, how it skillfully upsets the viewer in multiple ways and how its horrific ambiguity sets it apart from the era of slashers it helped to usher in the 80s. We also talk about Jamie Lee Curtis's line readings, how this movie's many imperfections give it its charm and how nobody in their right mind would leave their kids with babysitters on Halloween these days.

In this episode of the show we are closing the main strand of our Carpentober operation with a conversation about Vampires and Ghosts of Mars. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about how both of these movies still carry out the main mission of a western, how Vampires refreshes the stale lore surrounding the canonical vampire and how Ghosts of Mars maybe has always been taken at face value, as opposed to being treated as a trashy exploitation flick with a tongue pressed into its cheek. We also talk Carpenter losing steam in the 90s, James Woods trying to hard, Sheryl Lee's screaming prowess, Ice Cube's battle face and Big Daddy Mars sounding like a cross between the Cookie Monster and Timmy from South Park.

In this episode of the show, Carpentober revs up as we talk about John Carpenter's 1983 adaptation of the Stephen King novel Christine. Joined by the phenomenal dynamic duo of Kevin and Erin of The Podcast That Wouldn't Die we talk about the many changes the movie made to the original novel, John Carpenter's nostalgia for the 50s fitting the thematic sphere and his continuing effort to make exploitation movies that look A-grade as well. We also talk about hiring thirty-somethings to play teenagers, Arnie Cunningham as an obnoxious nerd who can't take out the trash correctly and how a lot of the movie takes place off camera and how it may be not OK for some of us while being an invitation to read between the lines for others.

We are slowly closing in on the conclusion of our 2024 Kathryn Bigelow Marathon. With only two movies to go, we are this time setting our sights on Zero Dark Thirty. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about the many controversies surrounding this movie, from the portrayal of torture and alleged endorsement of right-wing politics to the filmmakers' choices to introduce composite characters into the narrative, thus altering the portrayal of otherwise historical events. We also talk about Jessica Chastain as a veritable tour de force, Bigelow's life reflected in the character of Maya and that blood-curdling final act action set piece.
