  341. Tremors with special guest Ashley Casseday from Keep It Weird

  Oct 2, 20262h 16mS8

  "Roger that Burt, and congratulations. Be advised, however, that there are two more, repeat, two more motherhumpers." We watched "Tremors" with our friend Ashley Casseday (with a special appearance from her husband Joe) from "Keep It Weird" and we would like nothing more than to visit Perfection, Nevada with this rag tag groups of survivors. This cast is so extremely well put together, we don't even know where to begin. Actually, Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward - this movie begins and ends with these two actors charming the pants off each other and us, the audience. Valentine (Bacon) and Earl (Ward) are two handymen working their way through Perfection and squabbling like an old married couple the entire time. You can cut the sexual tension with a knife. We may be stretching a bit there, but they are indeed a bit familiar with each other. The rest of the townsfolk are extremely well used and we are still talking about a "B" monster movie with giant worms. Speaking of which, the practical effects used to bring the Graboids to life are second to none. Tremors is a "handmade" film and the movie magic used adds to the charm. And yes, we absolutely Ship Val and Earl.

  340. Sky High with special guests Cullen and Hannah from Not My Fantasy

  Sep 25, 20261h 51mS8

  "In the end, my girlfriend became my arch enemy, my arch enemy became my best friend, and my best friend became my girlfriend. But, hey, it's high school." We watched "Sky High" with Hannah and Cullen from "Not My Fantasy," and yes, this is definitely unintentionally queer. The gayness that is fully embedded in this movie is most likely accidental, but it's pretty hard to miss. How else do you explain a full-on coming-out scene, color-coded wardrobes that create an entire rainbow, and the overall high-camp aesthetic? It may have been unintentional, but the queerness is there, and a generation of kids grew up on this movie and felt seen when Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano) tells his father, The Commander (Kurt Russell) that he's "proud to be a sidekick." We talk about the fun cast - Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston as Superhero parents! - TWO Kids In The Hall members as teachers! - the fun midcentury modern design elements and the early/mid-aughts fashion choices. "Sky High" might be accidentally queer, but it's an intentionally fun ride.

  Episode #339

  339. The Wizard directed by Todd Holland

  Sep 18, 20261h 56mS8

  "I love the Power Glove. It's so bad." We watched "The Wizard" directed by Todd Holland and we're still trying to pass "Super Mario Bros. 3." When this movie was released in 1989 it was the Superbowl, Christmas and Summer Vacation all wrapped into one. A move... about Nintendo... starring Fred Savage - there was no other choice than to Stan. While it's now a cult classic among adults of a certain age (read: Xenniells and older Millenials) it does suffer from an over written plot with a pretty depressing storyline. What could have been a run of the mill, 80's underdog competition movie along the lines of "Karate Kid" or "Rad", set against a Nintendo backdrop, instead we got a sometimes heavy family drama. Overcoming trauma, living with PTSD and a possibly neuro-divergent co-lead is some pretty heady stuff for kids who wanted to see Mario, Luigo, Link and Samus on the big screen. Savage is screaming his performance (no doubt attempting to go toe to toe with Beau Bridges and Christian Slater) but the standouts are Luke Edwards playing the titular video game Wizard and the iconic Jenny Lewis as street smart tough girl Haley. We also get the fantastic use of "Send Me an Angel" by Australian band Real Life. They reeled us in with actual Nintendo games on the big screen - they kept our butts in the seats with sweet behind the scenes Universal Studios action! Oh yeah - and a sweet cameo from the world famous Cabazon Dinosaurs!

  338. The Princess Bride with special guest Melanie Vartabedian

  Sep 11, 20262 hourS8

  "Have fun stormin' da castle." We watched "The Princess Bride" with our friend Melanie Vartabedian and we're still shouting quotes from this movie at each other from across the room. This movie is an absolute classic but like, it's really deserving of that moniker. This cast is pitch perfect, the script is non-stop quotable gold, and the direction by gone too soon Rob Reiner is top notch. Who would have thought that Borscht-Belt humor would mix so well into a medeival fairy tale? Rob Reiner, that's who. The film adaptation of the book by William Goldman passed through many directors hands but it was Reiner who completed the task and he made it work. Bringing on board new talent like Cary Elwes and Robin Wright, along side comedy mainstays like Christopher Guest and Billy Crystal, this cast is nothing short of phenomenal. Oh and we definitely think this movie gives "The Mummy" a run for it's money with the sheer number of bisexual awakenings. LIsten and find out our one squabble with this otherwise nearly flawless movie. "As you wish."

  337. Little Children with special guest Devin Lotfi

  Sep 3, 20262 hourS8

  "My professors would kill me for even thinking this, but in her own strange way, Emma Bovary is a feminist." We watched "Little Children" with our friend Dev Lotfi, and we're unsettled but also… intrigued. We've asked this many times on the podcast, but this film really begs the question… are straight people OK? This film is a character study of modern American suburbia, but we would like to study Patrick Wilson's… character. Wilson and Kate Winslet play stay-at-home parents (to different families) drawn to each other through a mutual need of adult companionship. Jackie Earle Haley plays Ronnie, who lives with his elderly mother (Phyllis Somerville) and was just released from prison for exposing himself to a minor. Their lives are messy, and they intersect in some messy ways, but we can't tear our gaze away from Patrick Wilson's bod - it's on full display for a good portion of the movie. This movie is full of grown adults making some immature decisions, which really makes you appreciate the double meaning of the film's title.
