  Episode #17

  Unbreakable / Always Practice Safe Spotting (Goes: Stefan van de Graaff)

  Aug 13, 20261h 57mS4

  Message us ANONYMOUSLY By title, it's a lie, as " Unbreakable ," (2000 d. Shyamalan) has made it to the program via our guest: filmmaker Stefan van de Graaff ( 'Simmer' ) and our infamous cohost breaker list . Starring: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, and Robin Wright. We discuss the beauty, the quiet, the stillness, what friends do and do not do to each other, and so much more in this entry. We just ask that you prepare by putting on your rain slicker, and not asking too many questions like "how can he drink water?" or "Why do I need a TV in my refrigerator?" You do. 8/13!

  Aug 7, 202616 min

  Message us ANONYMOUSLY We're ending "Martial Arts Movie Month," with a bang! It's our “Shelf Help,” entry for what is rumored to be JD Vance's most hated movie "The Perfect Weapon," (1991 Dir. DiSalle) Paul takes you through this appropriately bare bones in extras, but plentiful in features, Kino Lorber Blu-Ray release. 8/7!

  Episode #16

  The Perfect Weapon / Speak! Man! (Guest Co-Hosts Moses Olson & Ben Burris)

  Aug 6, 20262h 16mS4

  Message us ANONYMOUSLY SURPRISE! It's a Birthday Bash episode with Guest Co-Hosts: Moses Olson & Ben Burris! In an entry much longer in duration than the actual movie, our hosts discuss "The Perfect Weapon," (1991 d. DiSalle) Starring: Jeff Speakman, John Dye, and Mako. This Birthday Bash episode (Co-Host Moses' birthday) is at least as much cake as it is the delicious filling, which can't necessarily be said for the movie itself. If you've been waiting for more in depth discussion into the nuance of the "punchy-kicky," films you know, or in this case may not know, you've likely randomly stumbled into the right podcast episode, in the right place, at the right time. How convenient! 8/6!

  Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai / Rich in Calcium (Guest Co-Host: Chris Olds)

  Jul 30, 20261h 55mS4

  Message us ANONYMOUSLY "IT HAS BEGUN!" Martial Arts Movie Month is here, and we're kicking things off with Guest Co-Host: Chris Olds, for his choice "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai," (d. Jarmusch 2000) . Starring: Forest Whitaker, John Tormey, and Cliff Gorman. This under seen Samurai/Neo Western/Noir/Gangster film entered "The Criterion Collection," in 2020. Is ice cream a "food?" Are there language barriers of the soul? 'Now you gonna be the boss of your own clan, right, Louie?’ These, and more existential questions like them, that ain't nothin' to f*** with. 7/30!
