  • The Core (2003)


    We all know we can’t drill a hole to the Earth’s core. But…what if we could? The guys review the film voted the most scientifically inaccurate of all time: The Core, starring Aaron Eckhart, Hilary Swank, Stanley Tucci and a dozen more over-qualified actors of the early 21st century.

  • Casino Royale (1967)


    While Nick is away, Adam and Nico dissect the notorious, non-canonical James Bond movie Casino Royale. No, not that one! Long before Daniel Craig, producer Charles Feldman bought up the film rights to Ian Fleming’s original 007 novel. And what began as a straight adaptation became an unwieldy parody directed by five(!) people and starring seven(!!) Bonds. The fellas try to parse through the confusing plot and even more puzzling behind-the-scenes drama, involving Orson Welles, Woody Allen, Peter Sellers, David Niven and practically any other British person alive in the 1960s. Consider the pod both shaken and stirred.

  • Hot to Trot (1988)


    Our favorite Witatty loser Joe DeFeo returns to the program to discuss another horrible film from his childhood. Bob(cat) Goldthwait stars as a hot new stock trader that seeks advice from his equine friend, played by a phoning-it-in John Candy. Topics discussed include: the immortality of Dabney Coleman, the puzzling cameos from Burgess Meredith and Gilbert Gottfried, and all the studio nonsense that went on behind the scenes

  • Encounters at the End of the World (2007)


    We conclude Documentary Month (and perhaps the habitability of planet) with our boy Werner Herzog’s only Oscar-nominated film. And it might just be the most Werner movie yet.

  • Crumb (1995)


    Documentary Month resumes with a tale of underground comix, dysfunctional families and lots of lots of piggyback rides. David Lynch (sort of) presents Crumb, the cult classic doc about legendary cartoonist Robert Crumb.

  • The Raft (2018)


    Long before Jeff Probst was doing it, an insane Spanish man named Santiago ran an infamous “social experiment” on the seven seas to get to the bottom of humanity’s obsession with war. Complete with sexual tension, personal drama, a struggle for power and MURDER, the “Sex Raft” of the 1970s was closer to reality television than it was a scientific pursuit. But as the old adage goes, who needs a sociology degree when you have the Bachelor? Nick, Nico and Adam get to the bottom of all this nonsense as Documentary Month 2023 begins!

  • Ishtar (1987)


    Notorious bad movie or notoriously underrated comedy? Nick, Nico and Adam debate the film that cratered Elaine May’s directing career, the Warren Beatty-Dustin Hoffman road picture Ishtar. Yes, the conversation gets contentious. But hey, telling the truth can be dangerous business.

  • Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952)


    The year is 1952. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis ruled the Earth. Bela Lugosi was high on morphine. And man was but a simple primate.
