Join us for our April discussion of The Man Who Would Be King, John Huston’s Connery/Caine joint that’s simultaneously a pretty great movie about racism and also pretty racist. We also take a look at the film that killed the SNL movie, MacGruber – Rob’s favorite movie about Will Forte dancing around with a piece of celery in his ass, and Matt’s favorite movie period. (Also, director Jorma Taccone was 33 when he made the movie, not 23, which is significantly less special. Please draw no assumptions about Rob’s ability to do basic math from this.)

We take a turn for the despondent with slow-core Soviet auteur Andrei Tarkovsky’s oddball memoir Mirror and then cool off with the better-than-Black Knight Martin Lawrence crime comedy Blue Streak.

Our friend Jared joins us as a guest, because he’s who we could get, as we descend into madness twice over, with the seminal Australian New Wave freakout Wake in Fright and the forgotten NBA cross-dressing comedy Juwanna Mann. We also forget Ben Affleck played Batman, which probably says something about what we thought of his performance. Finally, and it’s weird to have to note this but here we are, this was recorded before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Matt does a little Slavic race science that probably never would’ve played all that well and certainly doesn’t amid a shooting war, but I forgot what the timestamp on it was so I didn’t edit it out. That’s the level of dedication and hard work we strive to bring to you, folks.

We take a look back at the highs and lows of 2021 with David Lowery’s ethereal chivalric saga The Green Knight and the LeBron James-led IP-extravaganza Space Jam: A New Legacy.

Join us down for a winter on the Bay as we tackle two entries in perhaps the biggest, dumbest, loudest franchise in Hollywood history, 2007’s Transformers and 2017’s Transformers: The Last Knight.

Right on time for Halloween, we bring you a horror double feature with John Carpenter’s goretastic all-timer The Thing and the quasi-amateur embarrassment that is somehow still not the worst entry in the Friday the 13th franchise despite inexplicably being set in outer space, Jason X.

We’ve got two tales of a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown with Ingmar Bergman’s arthouse classic Persona and this year’s religious mind-bender Saint Maud.

It’s Evil Patrician Dudes week here on YGHI as we dive into the sad-ass Clooney legal thriller Michael Clayton and the ultra-cancelled Satanist drama The Ninth Gate.

We conclude our month(s???) of comfort food as Howard Hawks invites us to witness just how bad the early days of flight sucked/ruled with Only Angels Have Wings and Shane Black tries to wedge some personality into the MCU with Iron Man 3.

Comfort food “month” continues with the James L Brooks workplace rom-com Broadcast News and the Marx Brothers college comedy Horse Feathers.
