No U-turns At The Drive-in

We can't get enough of talking animal movies, and this one has more than just "some pig." A modern classic of the family film genre which is in a class of its own, and also a universe of its own! Kinda like the Twilight Zone, but a bit more whimsical. We know what we're talking about, Babe!  References to Past Shows: Lady and the Tramp / Homeward Bound / The Matrix / Creepshow Next Week: Fly Away Home!

Warwick Davis is back in the green makeup and raising the stakes on mischief and murder in glitzy Las Vegas! As much fear and loathing as anyone could hope to find in this straight to video classic of '95. If you still have enough fingers and toes to count past 2 you just might make it through Leprechaun 3!

I hope all you stunt cats  are ready for a dip into the stream of conciousness as we dredge up even more nostalgic memories. From this heartwarming family classic we find connections to everything fromTwin Peaks to 9/11, and, if we don't come down with a bad case of Casper Syndrome, who knows what else? Whatever directions we may wander off rest assured we are always Homeward Bound!

Grab yourself a plate of spaghetti and get ready to bring back some childhood memories. Before we watched Harry meet Sally, before they taught us anything in school about Romeo climbing the balcony to Juliet, and way before we knew what "doggystyle" meant, Walt Disney introduced us to two stracrossed pups known as Lady and the Tramp!

With Special Guest Host: Evan Jones! Many directors are known for their various styles or genres they have left their mark on, stand out among them are the comedies of the Coen Brothers. Combining rich characterization with the patently absurd and capturing it through a wide angle lense. This, their first comic adventure, is a heartwarming, looney tune-eaque tale of a man trying to become a better person through stealing a baby. Because you never know what life will throw at you when you're Raising Arizona. References to Past Shows: Zardoz / Evil Dead 2 Next Week: Lady and the Tramp!

We Arrived to 2016 wanting to Sing the praises of La La Land when a Civil War broke out and by the Dawn of Justice we were ready to call in the Suicide Squad. We went Rogue at Hacksaw Ridge, caught up with Captain Fantastic and did some Moonlighting in Zootopia. Ended up skipping the Sausage Party and had a better time with The Nice Guys while Strange Doctors Found Dory and discovered The Secret Life of Pets. We took a Trek Beyond The Jungle Book and even gave Fantastic Beasts a look, but Ben-Hur had already been there and left Sully crying Hail, Caesar in the Deadpool. From The Shallows to the Deepwater Horizon we asked “Why Him?” and even The Magnificent 7 couldn’t Purge this Election Year. So Kubo gave his Two Strings to the BFG to direct the Passengers to 10 Cloverfield Lane where they could finally find some Silence. Still, it always Hurt’s to say goodbye.

Remember the movies you watched as a kid? Well, perhaps it's best to forget. Lucas didn't forget and look what happened. A stamp obsessed Canadian clusterf**k full of stuttering children who can't act. It sounds like we're making this up as we go, but we're not. Don't blame us, but instead send your letters to Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller! References to Past Shows: Nomads / Robot Monster / Manos: The Hands of Fate Next Week: The 2017 Oscars!

With Special Guests Matt Allegretti and Lucas Cotterell! "Do. Or do not. There is no try." Another Star Wars film has rocked the world and has left some fans split. Did you hop into an X-Wing grinning and ready for the ride, or slice this up like Vader through Rebel Troopers? Who's with it till the end and who's ready to pack their bags? Will any of our initial reactions survive this discussion? No one asked us on this mission, but here we are. All aboard for Rogue One!

It feels like a long, long time ago, especially if you were a kid when it hit theaters. Nearly eighteen years and a worldwide web of dogpiling later we review how well George Lucas' first entry into the Star Wars Prequels holds up. Is it the best of its trilogy? Does it have any redeeming qualities? What are the lasting effects on a generation of disappointed fandom? Is there a silver lining we can take with us as we appreciate the Star Wars universe as a whole, or just a lingering Phantom Menace we would rather have cut out of our beloved franchise?  References To Past Shows: Das Boot / Turkish Star Wars / Total Recall / Salvaging the Star Wars Prequels Next Week: Rogue One - A Star Wars Story!

In a time past 2001, where apes had ruled the planet, everyone died at thirty, and Barbarella's screamed, "Soylent Green is people!" there was one to shock them all and make us question everything. We are the chosen ones who know what is good and what is evil. We are influenced by L. Frank Baum, H. G. Wells, and J. R. R. Tolkien. We watch, listen, and discuss in the name of Zardoz!

With Special Guest Matt Allegretti!!! Mike Hammer knew he was onto something hot, but what he didn't know was that it was as hot as the sun. A dark, brutal, and richly subversive tale for it's time. It influenced the French New Wave, as well as left it's mark on movies like Raider's of the Lost Ark, Pulp Fiction, and Repo Man. Trust me, you'll thank me for turning you onto it, and when next we meet you can Kiss Me Deadly!

With Special Guest: Evan Jones! A nice little story of a boy who loves guns meets a girl who loves guns and together they go on crime spree. It's a gun-toting, whirlwind romance of mutual self destruction. Don't forget to bring your ammo, it would be quite embarassing if you showed up and couldn't shoot, wouldn't it? Best to keep those itchy trigger fingers in check, or you might go Gun Crazy yourself!

With Special Guest: Sarah Hartman! Frankenstein is visited by his ghost dad, who tells him what he must do, and pretty much everyone dies in the end. It's a lot like Hamlet actually, except, you know, with a big green monster and mad scientist. So swap minds with us for a while as we romp through Halloween with this delightful classic. If lightning strikes outside your window and the doors creak behind you, turn around quick! You might just be haunted by The Ghost of Frankenstein!

With Special Guest: Charity Buckbee! We herby invite you to our awkward family gathering. There will be sibling animosity, annoying children, the angry old man, and, of course, the creepy uncle will be in attendance. They say that blood is thicker than water, though we wont say what's in this blood sample. As expected, past drama will be revisited, skeletons will be dragged from the closet, and after a few drinks friendly competitiveness will turn into all out brawling until someone gets kicked into the sulfur pit. After all, no one ever said it was easy to be the Son of Frankenstein!

Rumor has it the monster lives! He lives... alone. I mean, he did room with a mountain hermit for a while, but it was in a rough neighborhood. Lately he's been staying in crypts and caves, though his prospects are looking up. He's working for a doctor and has a sense of purpose again. Now he's looking for love. Call or text if you're recently reanimated and in the mood for romance. YOU TOO could be The Bride of Frankenstein! What could go wrong?

A strange, unholy form of life rises slowly from the operating table. Its discolored hand reaches out and takes the microphone. "You recognize the character's, but what do you really know about the Universal Monsters?" Fear not my friends, it's only a movie podcast!
