SHOWNOTES: We've elapsed that time of year again where we celebrate Collateral Cinema's anniversary with a film by the legendary Chad himself Takashi Miike! This time, we take a look at his entry for Showtime's 2006 Masters of Horror anthology TV series: "Imprint". Deemed too graphic and disturbing to air as planned, this episode embodies the dark side of Miike cinema with brazen depictions of torture and incorporation of transgressive subject matter. How does it compare against other credits in the subversive Japanese director's impressive film library? Find out Beau and Ash's thoughts in our Season Five #Miikeversary Special!

SHOWNOTES: Let's-a-go! Running a little late on this one, but we finally had the chance to watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie recently, and of course we had to do an At the Movies episode with Collateral Gaming, so here we are! How well does Illumination and Nintendo's first attempt at a feature film starring the beloved Italian plumbers and friends since 1993 (a movie we also featured on the podcast a few seasons back) work? Is it well-written? How are the performances, headed by Chris Pratt and Charlie Day as the titular brothers, as well as Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, and Seth Rogen? How many possible references and Easter eggs to the franchise can they cram into a 92-minute animated picture? Take the Warp Pipe with Beau and Ash into the Mushroom Kingdom, as we answer these questions and more. Also, stay tuned for our Season Finale on Corvette Summer, which should be out very soon, as well as more At the Movies features on Collateral Cinema before we launch Season Seven in October. Wahoo!

SHOWNOTES: Grab your bullwhip and fedora, because Collateral Cinema is covering one of, if not the best action-adventure movie series of all time: the Indiana Jones Trilogy! That's right: the trilogy. That's it. Three films. No others have ever been made and you won't convince us otherwise. Follow us for this special two-part episode; in Part 1, we'll be covering the very first installment: Raiders of the Lost Ark! Considered among the greatest movies ever made, this 1981 flick was directed by Steven Spielberg; co-written by Lawrence Kasdan, George Lucas, and Philip Kaufman; and stars Harrison Ford in his debut as the immortal character Indiana Jones—arguably his best role. Raiders isn't just a damn good film that stands the test of time, but a keystone of movie sub-culture, containing many of the most iconic scenes in cinema, and being the start of a celebrated American media franchise. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll be covering Temple of Doom and Last Crusade!

Stars: Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, Paul Rudd

SPECIAL GUEST: Stew, Stew World Order Productions (@SWOProductions)

SHOWNOTES: Collateral Cinema missing one of the best teen comedy films of all time? As if! Returning guest Stew from the Stew World Order Podcast (see: our episodes on Scream (1996), Spider-Man 3) joins us for an examination of Amy Heckerling's seminal 1995 coming-of-age movie Clueless. Starring Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd, this picture is technically a loose live action adaptation of Jane Austen's 1815 novel Emma, and at the same time a time capsule of the 90s. It's also bursting at the seams with vibrant characterization, consistent humor, quotable lines, and a satirical yet wholesome story. Something something, only 90s kids remember. If you enjoy this episode, let us know on your platform of choice, and stay tuned for our upcoming take on Silent Hill with Collateral Gaming!

As part of our Anniversary Special this season, we're celebrating over 5 years of podcasting with a redux of our original pilot: Audition. This 1999 horror film from Japanese icon and movie Chad Takashi Miike is known among the annals of disturbing cinema for its graphic depiction of torture just prior to the 2000s, and out of all the films we've covered so far, it's definitely worthy of a re-analysis. Stay tuned for more #Miikeversary content this month as Collateral Gaming joins us for a look at Miike's Ace Attorney movie!

This month, Collateral Cinema is talking anime films—and by anime films we mostly mean the pre-weeaboo era  of the 80s and 90s (you know, when anime was GOOD, amirite?). And whaddya' know, this is our first Studio Ghibli movie as it happens. That's right, folks; we are exploring Hayao Miyazaki's 1997 supernatural/historical fantasy classic Princess Mononoke! While considered by many to be Miyazaki-sensei's greatest work, is Mononoke-hime (as it is known in Japan) truly "influential of an entire generation"? Ok, probably not, but this movie is dope as fuck, and it's part of what's you weebs owe your entire personality to.

SHOWNOTES: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... we partnered up with guests from the SpyHards Podcast to talk the Star Wars prequels! With the fairly recent completion of the sequel trilogy, it's a great time to look back at George Lucas' polarizing Episodes I-III, and ask ourselves if these much maligned films were truly as sinful as the fanbase would have had us believe. Or is there a certain appeal to these cinematic additions to the Star Wars canon, ironic or otherwise? Was this sub-series' best value its contribution to meme culture as we know it, or is there something else in them for the millennial generation that grew up with this iteration of the franchise? In Part 1, we take a look at 1999's The Phantom Menace and 2002's Attack of the Clones. Where did these films stand at their premieres nearly twenty years after the original trilogy? Do they hold up today, two decades later? Find out now, and stay tuned for Part 2, where we discuss the final episode of the trilogy—Revenge of the Sith, along with its contemporary media! Now THIS is podcasting!

Collateral Cinema teams up with Victims and Villains to riff on the 2012 universally panned American Christian Christmas drama movie / “War on Christmas” propaganda film.

SHOWNOTES: Welcome back to our review of the beloved 80s action-adventure film trilogy Indiana Jones (which definitely ended there and was never followed by any sequels)! Last time we analyzed Raiders of the Lost Ark, and in Part 2 we'll be covering the last two movies: Temple of Doom and Last Crusade. Starting with arguably the weakest link of the trilogy and the "black sheep" of the film series, and ending with what many consider to be the peak of the franchise, it'll make for an... illuminating (read that in your best Sean Connery accent) discussion. This duo, for better or worse (almost entirely better) helped define the original Indiana Jones story, which in turn influenced cinema in ways we cannot overstate. So, follow us on the conclusion of this epic journey! *cue theme music*

If you enjoy this episode, let us know, and stay tuned for our Holiday Special on Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut with Abyss Gazing: A Horror Podcast; the continuation of Bad Movie December with The Wicker Man (2006), starring Nic Cage; and more before the end of the year.

That's right, folks; Beau and Ash are here to talk about the latest Doctor Strange movie from comic book and horror movie legend, the Chad himself, Sam Raimi. This film is also the MCU's first foray into horror territory, harkening as much to Evil Dead as it does 2000s Spider-Man (if not more so). But how effective is that? Where does this flick stand as an MCU movie, a superhero movie, or a movie of its own accord?

SHOWNOTES: It's Cagin' time on Collateral Cinema Movie Podcast, as we continue Bad Movie December with a look at Neil LaBute's 2006 remake of The Wicker Man, starring none other than the One True God Himself: Nicolas Fucking Cage. This reimagining of the original 1973 horror film (itself an adaptation of the 1967 horror novel Ritual) manages to be batshit in completely different ways than its source material(s) and also (un)intentionally hysterical, in no small part due to Nic Cage's classic over-the-top performance working harmoniously with a hilariously inept script. Being our very first Cage review on the podcast, how does it rank amongst the legendary 60-year-old actor/producer's filmography as well as "so bad it's good" cinema? Find out now, and stay tuned for our January content, including a two-part analysis of the Indiana Jones Trilogy and more!

With special guests from the Shocked & Applaud podcast, we explore the movie's non-sequitur narrative, ambiguous themes, and many interpretations of the true plot—which Mr. Lynch himself had never divulged!

Ash and Beau took the opportunity to watch Ryan Coogler's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever for our latest spoiler-free superhero movie review. In the wake of Chadwick Boseman's tragic passing that still feels fresh for many of us, is the ensemble cast able to hold the flick together? With Marvel Studios' decision to not recast the role of King T'Challa, who takes on the mantle of Black Panther? Is Tenoch Huerta Mejía's Namor as compelling and interesting a sympathetic villain as Michael B. Jordan's Killmonger? We answer these questions, provide our overall thoughts on the newest Marvel movie, and take time to look back on Phase Four as a whole. Rest in power, Chadwick, and Wakanda Forever!

We are celebrating the season with a look at the latest entry of the Halloween franchise, now in theaters and streaming on Peacock: Halloween Ends! It's been a tradition of ours following each title in David Gordon Green and Danny McBride's trilogy starting with Halloween (2018) and following the plot of the classic 1978 film. But is Ends a satisfying conclusion to this "H40" timeline or a fitting inclusion to the legacy of John Carpenter's original work? Does it justify its own existence as the sequel to last year's Halloween Kills, as part of the franchise, or a Michael Myers slasher movie in and of itself? Does evil truly die tonight? Jim from Film Rage joins Beau, Robert, and Ash in answering these questions and more in our At the Movies Edition Halloween Special!

Originally aired on UPN in 1999, this mockumentary-style, slice of life comedy series would become part of the foundation of Adult Swim with its absurdist brand of humor. These early episodes featuring Squigglevision animation and retroscripting set the tone of the series (as well as the network), and we had a lot of fun dissecting the first season!

SHOWNOTES: LISTENERS! WE HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE FUTURE! On the latest episode of Collateral Cinema, Robert, Beau, and Ash discuss a perennial 80s classic and a quintessential watch for any movie fan: Back to the Future! That's right, the original 1985 film that spawned Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale's media franchise as well as helped establish an entire branch of science fiction cinema. The trilogy as a whole is a highly regarded piece of our collective childhoods, but the first movie in particular stands out for its phenomenal script, excellent performances, and unforgettable soundtrack. Preserved in the National Film Registry and widely considered one of the best films ever made, Back to the Future is a flick we're genuinely surprised we've taken eight seasons to talk about! If you enjoy our take on it, just wait for our takes on the atrocities of Bad Movie December coming soon: Neil Breen's Pass Thru and Samurai Cop 1 & 2. And if you don't, well, I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it!
