  Episode #51

  Dick (1999) with Dane McDonald

  Sep 29, 20261h 56m

  This episode was supposed to be longer but we accidentally cut out 18-and-a-half minutes of tape* On this episode of Spineless, Nick and Brennan are joined by Dane McDonald, co-host of the excellent podcast Supporting Actresses, to discuss the strange mix of teen-comedy-cum-political-satire that is Dick (1999), which sees two teenage girls become embroiled in the Watergate scandal that rocked American politics in the 1970s. We discuss disgraced President Richard M. Nixon and the extent to which he did anything wrong, debate the potentially over-exaggerated effects of weed cookies depicted in the film, and dive into the careers of our two leading ladies, Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams. Plus, Brennan tells us about his time working with a longtime Nixon impersonator on the very normal play The Trial on the Potomac, and Dane drops some lore about the infamous "I am not a crook" speech! Spoiler alert: he was. Listen to Dane on Supporting Actresses and subscribe to their Patreon ! Learn about Rich Little , Nixon impersonator and Brennan's former boss! Explore the Trial on the Potomac , the play that made Brennan think Nixon did nothing wrong! *It was a Watergate joke. Spineless: The Future Films of 4K does NOT endorse the actions of Richard M. Nixon or his associates. We DO however endorse the righteous victory of Betty and Arlene, alias Deep Throat. The niche of physical media is growing.

  Episode #50

  Strangers on a Train (1951)

  Sep 15, 20261h 40m

  Two strangers walk onto a train... For the 50th episode of Spineless, Nick and Brennan went back in time to the 50s with their good friend Alfred "The Hitch" Hitchcock to talk about his 1951 masterpiece Strangers on a Train. Brennan tries to talk Nick into doing a criss-cross murder of their own as the pair discuss their history with The Hitch, the development of the film based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith, and the bravura performance of Robert Walker as a psychopath named Bruno who we recommend you do NOT talk to on a train. We also do not recommend you attend a carnival with Bruno. Maybe it's best if you don't even talk about Bruno. Instead, listen to US talk about Bruno (and Guy) on this episode of Spineless!

  The Spineless Anniversary Swap!

  Sep 1, 20262h 24m

  Happy birthday dear Spineless! It’s the two-year anniversary of Spineless, and on this special episode, Nick and Brennan take a break from talking about movies that don't have a 4K release yet to talk about some movies that do. Each of us present three 4K releases that we watched in their entirety--commentaries, special features and all. Brennan tells us all about Synapse Films’ edition of Suspiria (1977), the Italian release of the currently-Spineless-in-North-America Megalopolis (2024), and Criterion's new edition of Network (1976). Nick walks us through the underseen Dead Mountaineer’s Hotel (1979) distributed by Deaf Crocodile, Criterion’s edition of Malcolm X (1992), and the out of print steelbook of The Incredibles (2004). Plus, Nick ambushes Brennan with not one but TWO surprise guests as Brennan finds himself in a Kinney Sandwich (the Kinneys are the bread in this situation and also there are three of them). In other words, it's a massive, must-listen episode and a heartfelt celebration of two great years of Spineless! Thanks for listening!

  Coherence (2013) with Shane Chung

  Aug 18, 20261h 32m

  Our discussion has never been more coherent. On this episode of Spineless, Nick and Brennan are joined by filmmaker Shane Chung to discuss COHERENCE, James Ward Byrkit’s mind-bending 2013 film about how much it sucks to play a game at a party. Is mumblecore good? What about improv? How about actors from Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Our hosts have varying thoughts. Plus, discussion of Shane’s award-winning short film CHECK PLEASE, which I don’t have a joke about because it looks awesome. Follow Shane on Instagram @tunavegas !
