  Aug 9, 20261h 28m

  EPISODE #489-- We delve into the world of vetspolitation/counter-culture/biker/American Indian movies with the baffling and actually kind of cool BILLY JACK (1971), directed by Tom Laughlin, who also wrote and started in the movie. The film is about a half-Indian Green Beret who takes off his shoes to karate kick guys. Yes, Quentin Tarantino is obsessed with this movie, how did you guess?

  Episode #489

  #488 Poe's YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES (1985, dir. Barry Levinson)

  Jul 14, 20261h 30m

  EPISODE #489-- We're back on our BS with the pivotal action-adventure film YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES (1985) directed by Barry Levinson ( The Diner guy? really? Okay. I guess so). It's a nice return to form, as we do love England's most famous, non-Masterpiece Theater-based detective. We also recommend, as per usual, a bunch of other bangers, including (and it's a lot of movies, so get a pen out) THE SHEEP DETECTIVES (2026, dir. Kyle Balda), NIGHT MOVES (1975, dir. Arthur Penn), PUTNEY SWOPE (1969, dir. Robert Downey Sr.), ACROSS 110th STREET (1972, dir. Barry Shear), THE DARJEELING LIMITED (2008, dir. Wes Anderson), and THE GENERAL (1926, dir. Buster Keaton). Like I said, it's a wild one. Oh, also PREDATOR: BADLANDS (2025, dir. Tratchenberg). LINKS-- Join the cause at Patreon.com/Quality.

  Episode #486

  #486 Marlowe's MEPHISTO (1981, dir. István Szabó)

  Jul 12, 20261h 6m

  EPISODE #486-- For today's episode we talk about the unfortunately ever-green tale on ambition, temptation, and Nazism, MEPHISTO (1981), directed by István Szabó . It's good stuff. The movie, I mean, not the encroaching reality of fascism. That stuff sucks. We also talk about such hit films as STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE (2016, dir. Gareth Edwards), MADADAYO (1993, dir. Akira Kurosawa), and SCANDAL (1951, dir. Akira Kurosawa). Also, a whole lot of other movies. It's a movie podcast. What do you expect? LINKS-- Join the cause at Patreon.com/Quality.
