Vidiots Video Store Show

A little discussion on today's surprisingly popular "heady" sci-fi offerings.

We weren't going to do an episode today, but felt like a good ol' movie discussion was the only way to stay sane. Join us as we catch up on what we've been watching lately, then talk about the films that we turn to for comfort when times are tough.

We forgot to do a horror-themed episode last year, and we almost forgot again this year, but then Shout Factory sent us their upcoming Blu-ray remasters of David Cronenberg's RABID and DEAD RINGERS!

This episode is a little bit longer than normal, because, well, #AllNicolasCageMovies. But first: Clay and Darren discuss the trailers for JACKIE and ALLIED, and the first poster for LOGAN.

Inspired by Women in Film Los Angeles' #52FilmByWomen initiative, Clay, Ryan, and Vidiots' longest-tenured employee, Angela, discuss two independent films made by women directors: Ida Lupino's gritty 1953 noir THE HITCH-HIKER and Ava DuVernay's eye-opening second feature, MIDDLE OF NOWHERE (2012).

Jen Yamato (The Daily Beast) joins Clay and Darren to play Title That Title and discuss her Vidiots picks shelf, in particular 1973's TERRIFYING GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL: LYNCH LAW CLASSROOM and 1998's BELLY.

We continue our celebration of legendary character actor Harry Dean Stanton with two 70's L.A. set crime flicks, Bill Norton's CISCO PIKE and Ulu Grosbard's STRAIGHT TIME. But first, we discuss the epidemic of extra-textual fan theories and catch up on what we've been watching lately.
