08 Feb 2022Episode 74: Jurassic Hunt00:51:06

Episode Seventy-Four: Jurassic Hunt (2021)

An intrepid listener out there requested dinosaurs, and it just so happens that James loves dinosaurs! This movie is contractually obligated to tell you that it isn't affiliated with the Jurassic Park / Jurassic World franchise at all, but that won't stop it from heavily implying otherwise. Marvel at an SFX budget that's higher than Birdemic, but lower than Sharknado

15 Feb 2022Episode 75: The Dinosaur Project00:51:49

Episode Seventy-Five: The Dinosaur Project (2012)

James wasn't happy with the dinosaurs that Jurassic Hunt had to offer, so maybe he'll be happier with this found-footage flick direct from the UK. We never would've believed that one could cram so much cryptozoology into one movie, but this picture proved how mistaken we were. The SFX budget is also higher than last week's. Here's just another movie showing why you shouldn't chase conspiracy theories.

Episode Seventy-Six: The Current War (2017)

It's a point of pride, friends. If we're tasked with period pieces, we're definitely not doing Victorian England. Perhaps that's to our detriment. This week we're talking about the late 1800s in the good ol' USA when rich white men threw electricity at other rich white men. This is Edison vs Westinghouse vs Tesla and the championship belt is how you recharge your phone today. Benedict Cumberbatch meets Michael Shannon meets Nicholas Hoult meets Tom Holland. So, Doctor Strange meets General Zod meets Nux meets Spider-Man. This is The Current War

Episode Seventy-Seven: Tolkien (2019)

We're still not doing Victorian England. This week it's a bunch of schoolboys and Edwardian England. One of these schoolboys might've grown up to become one of the most beloved and influential authors of the English language, but you're going to watch him throughout his youthful shenanigans. Nicholas Hoult returns as everyone's favorite fantasy author. Unfortunately, James knows a thing or two about this guy...

08 Mar 2022Episode 78: Freerunner00:55:29

Episode Seventy-Eight: Freerunner (2011)

James wanted a movie about parkour. As it turns out, there are lots of movies about parkour! As it also turns out, Frye has continued his long-standing tradition of choosing a real winner. Thrill to the tale of billionaires betting small fortunes on the outcome of an especially hoppy footrace around a city. Will the boys be able to slip one by ol' James?

Episode Seventy-Nine: Tracers (2015)

James wasn't satisfied with last week's parkour offering, so the boys have to watch more parkour. Fortunately we have the mighty squint of Taylor Lautner to lead us this week. What's better than an organized crime ring? A parkour-themed organized crime ring! Perhaps this will satisfy James so we can stop watching people needlessly flipping over cars.

Episode Eighty: Steve Jobs (2015)

This week James wanted his protagonists unlikeable. Is anyone more unlikable than America's favorite middle manager turned CEO? We might end up speaking ill of the dead on this episode, if this Aaron Sorkin-penned biopic isn't lying. Is it better to be liked? Would a narcissist even care? James is about to find out.

Episode Eighty-One: The World of Kanako (2014)

渇き (2014)

CW - descriptions of cinematic sexual assault

This week James wanted thievery, but Russ wasn't done with unlikeable protagonists. Accordingly, he brought in Kōji Yakusho, Nana Komatsu, and director Tetsuya Nakashima to do his dirty work. While there might be one or two instances of thievery in this movie, there are much darker forces at play. With a movie this bleak, you've gotta talk nihilism and ice cream.

Episode Eighty-Two: Windfall (2022)

This week James thirsted for theft, thieves, thievishness, and the boys very nearly delivered. Lily Collins, Jason Segel, and Jesse Plemons round out almost the entire cast of this cringeworthy attempt at burglary-turned-hostage dramedy. Will this flick be enough to staunch James's hunger for MORE, or will Russ and Frye be cracking another safe next week?

Episode Eighty-Three: Reminiscence (2021)

Last week's theft just wasn't good enough, was it? We just had to find another thief, didn't we? Well, fine then. This week you get Hugh Jackman at his wettest. As if Miami wasn't already miserable enough, writer and director Lisa Joy has to go and flood the place for her neo-noir yarn. James isn't satisfied with stealing money -- so how about stealing memories? No, not the Inception way.

Episode Eighty-Four: Moonfall (2022)

James didn't request this one -- Russ demanded it. The Master of Disaster Roland Emmerich is back to his usual nonsense. For a man who has destroyed the entire world at least five times, what's left to do but drop the whole moon out of the sky? If you saw Independence Day, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow, 2012, AND Independence Day: Resurgence, but you didn't think Earth was destroyed QUITE enough in those flicks, then maybe Moonfall is right up your alley.

Episode Eighty-Five: Mythica: A Quest for Heroes (2014)

How do all the most stereotypical D&D campaigns start? They met in a tavern. And indeed they do in Mythica -- a movie we chose because James said he wanted fantasy. It so happens that we know JUST the kind of fantasy that James likes. Funded by Kickstarter, this is the most labor-of-love movie based on D&D you'll see this month. That is, unless you watch one of the four sequels.

It's Chris Pine! It's Thandie Newton! It's Jonathan Pryce! It's Laurence Fishburne! They're all spies, but who's the mole? It's definitely one of them, and it takes a whole movie for them to tell us who's guilty. The Wheel commanded us to do a thriller, so we made it a spy thriller. Tinker Tailor this ain't.

Episode Eighty-Seven: The Hunt (2019)

The Wheel has spoken. It's horror, and it's Frye's least-favorite film genre. Surprisingly, we might've found one he enjoys! Unfortunately, it doesn't matter if Frye likes it or not -- we've got to convince James that he likes it.  Betty Gilpin and Hilary Swank lead our cast in hunting The Most Dangerous Game. If you only see one political-satire-horror-comedy this year, watch Get Out again. If you watch two, consider The Hunt

Episode Eighty-Eight: Ready or Not (2019)

James didn't want to see The Hunt, so Russ and Frye have gone back to the ol' Most Dangerous Game well. They're still hunting people this week, but this one has slightly less politics. Samara Weaving -- who is definitely not Margot Robbie -- gets to dust off her best wedding dress and brightest yellow Chuck Taylors so she can run from her brand new in-laws who are intent on killing her to fulfill a generations-old Faustian bargain. This movie dares to answer the question, "What if the Milton Bradley family dealt in just as much people-hunting as it did board games?"

The wheel has spoken -- it's foreign (foreign) action! Accordingly, the boys have gone as far from the States as possible -- South Korea. It's a superhero movie that hits some realistic beats that the standard Marvel staples tend to miss, but will that be good -- and foreign -- enough for James? What even makes a realistic superhero movie anyway? Why is reality repeating itself on untitled.txt?

Episode Ninety: Stuck (2017)

The wheel wishes to punish us. It craves musicals. This one has Giancarlo Esposito in it, and it's certainly a musical. Beyond that, the boys are even further out of their (already tenuous) element. While Rent is a modern adaptation of La Bohème set against the background of the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the early 90's in Manhattan, Stuck is about six people stuck on an MTA subway train. Tune up the orchestra...

Actors forced to sing. Is there any more hellish fate than the musical? Maybe trying to convince James to watch one is worse. It seems like it's been ages since Stuck, hasn't it? The boys are back from vacation, and they've brought Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams in the best tribute to Eurovision since Eurovision itself. Þetta Reddast.

Episode Ninety-Four: Assassin 33 A.D. (2020)

The boys have finally done it. It took ninety-four episodes, but they finally broke James. If you haven't heard of it by now, you should have. This is the movie with no audience in mind. It's a faith-based picture where Islamic terrorists create a time machine so they can go back in time and cap Jesus, but worry not -- there's a Jewish scientist ready to save the day. It's the movie that could've only been made by a Christian.

It's Tom Hanks, C-3PO, a Roomba, and Toto wandering around a Fallout 76 map, and somehow we didn't just describe an episode of Love Death + Robots

James is under the impression that countries other than the USA make comedies, so it's up to Russ and Frye to go along with that. Jean-Pierre Jeunet has brought us classics like Amélie, The City of Lost Children, and also Alien Resurrection, because we all have to take an L sometimes. In BIGBUG, we get to watch a bunch of futuristic French people stuck in lockdown with their robots while everyone tries and fails to get shagged. Yes, the robots try and fail too. Are French laughs superior to American laughs? We'll find out soon enough.

The wheel has demanded thrillers, so Russ and Frye picked a movie that is definitely classified as a thriller on Wikipedia. Spiderhead shows us a terrible world where pharmaceutical companies are also prisons run by Chris Hemsworth, and are about as unethical as they are in real life.  Miles Teller and Jurnee Smollett round out our cast of prisoners in this movie that has zero spiders in it. The unthinkable happens on untitled.txt.

We've been doing this for a hundred episodes now, and the movies are just as unnecessary as ever. James wasn't interested in watching Spiderhead, so we brought him a thriller with a lot more explosions, Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, podcast favorite Ana de Armas, and Billy Bob Thornton. If you don't think those names just scream "covert operations," then you're not as well-versed in the art of spycraft as is Chris Evans' firefighter moustache.

Suspense! As is turns out, James didn't want a thriller at all -- he wanted a suspense movie. Accordingly, it's up to the boys to convince him that this "folk horror" -- per Wikipedia -- is sufficiently chilling. With a title like Men, I bet all the guys in this one are just real swell. It's Alex Garland directing Jessie Buckley and a downright unnecessary number of Rory Kinnear clones.

Romance, eh? You know this one's going to be a tough sell, but maybe Harry Potter AND Kylo Ren can help out. It's the most Tik-Toked romcom of 2022, and Daniel Radcliffe, Zoe Kazan, and Adam Driver are giving it their all. This movie is called What If? in the US and The F Word everywhere else.

Romance yet again. Russ and Frye now know that James wants a romance without any of those pesky romance trappings like love or passion or human contact or fulfillment, so maybe a depressing slice-of-life Japanese pseudo-romance will suffice. The boys are feeling especially genki this week, unlike any one single character in this JAPANESE flick. Weebs.

I hope you're all ready to learn something, because it's documentary week. If there's one thing we love more than Werner Herzog's speech patterns, it's clowning on crypto and crypto-bros. Luckily, this movie has lots of both. Marvel at the parade of bad decisions, mysteries, and conspiracies surrounding the life and possible death of legendary crypto-bro Gerry Cotten.

We knew he really wanted Lovecraftian cosmic horror. But Russ and Frye are wily. What if they could deliver both? What if they could deliver an eldritch god voiced by JK Simmons hiding behind a rest stop glory hole? As it so happens, they could deliver that. And they did.

Spoopy Season continues! James was ever so excited by our comedy cosmic horror, but now the wheel has called for a ghost story. James isn't a fan. He'll probably be less of a fan this week because Russ and Frye have to deal with a ghost story that throws the viewer the most unnecessary suicide this side of Romeo and Juliet. Also this episode has just SO MUCH talk of suicide -- but maybe more talk of Cyberpunk 2077

22 Nov 2022Episode 115: Sundown00:50:42

Episode One Hundred and Fifteen: Sundown (2021)

James didn't want to watch Mélanie Laurent stuck in a tube, so we've got to bring back the spicy foreign drama. Maybe instead of watching Mélanie Laurent stuck in a French tube, he'll be more amenable to watching Tim Roth stuck on a Mexican beach. Although, he is there by choice. James also has a lot to say about the Japanese Self Defense Force and their propaganda anime Gate.

Episode One Hundred and Sixteen: Nuts! (2016)

The world of animated documentaries is wider than you might think, and we were lucky enough to discover this depiction of the life and many, many, many frauds of America's greatest quack doctor -- John R. Brinkley. As if treating every ailment with an implantation of goat testicles wasn't enough, he also skirted the FCC by building his own super-powerful radio station in Mexico in the 30s. Then he ran for governor of Kansas on the strength of simply being a quack.

Episode One Hundred and Seventeen: Jurassic World Dominion (2022)

It feels like we've come full circle in a strange way. Our first episode over two years ago was another Jurassic World movie. And now James comes into this one knowing full well what Frye and Russ are selling. They brought back Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Laura Dern, Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, and also every dinosaur ever to live or be invented, so they're definitely not compensating for the script or anything.

Happy Holidays! 'Tis the season around here, and the Wheel has demanded Christmas drama. Where better to look than where it all started? It's Victorian England and it's ol' Charlie Dickens. It turns out, the process of creating A Christmas Carol was a surprisingly cinematic one. Who would've thought...

ラブ&ピース

Our Christmas drama took us to the UK, and it looks like our foreign Christmas movie is taking us to Japan. We couldn't find the KFC that Frye wanted, but we did find a prolific director. Sion Sono -- a deeply insane person -- wrote and directed this passion project. It's 20 years in the making, and it's the best, most unnecessary Christmas / Santa / rock god / kaiju / love story / musical / puppet show  you've seen this month.

Christmas horror, you say? There's a LIBRARY. This week it's director Joe Begos and a murderous robotic Santa Claus. No, not the one from Futurama.  Riley Dandy holds her own as the Final Girl in this movie that summarizes itself with its title. Let's be honest -- you know what you're getting. As one third of our podcast puts it --

"If we're already here, you don't have to make us go home."

We're back!

It's a listener request to start off 2023! This is the best movie released in 2020 that stars both a classically trained thespian and a WWE superstar. If you've ever wanted to see Edge act opposite Kelsey Grammer, now you can. The title alone is perfect, but is that an easy enough sell for James? Also, no -- this isn't the long awaited sequel to Money Train. We were similarly crushed.

What is an action documentary, we wondered to ourselves after last week's episode. Then along came con-artist and criminal Gene Mulvihill to give us our answer. His brainchild was a meatgrinder of a playground called Action Park, and enough cannot be said about this Jackass of an attraction. The 80s and New Jersey were the magical ley lines that spawned this monster.

The wheel was merciful this time. Independent horror is a generous well. Our only real downside is that Frye really doesn't like horror and it's up to Russ to drag him along, kicking and screaming. Our setting is upstate New York in 1843 and our theme is witchcraft. This is all feeling very familiar. Pun intended. 

Also James decided to record his audio with a megaphone this time. It's good that his brand-new fancy water-rig sounds like being waterboarded. Apologies.

“Occasionally, I get a letter from someone who is in “contact” with extraterrestrials. I am invited to “ask them anything.” And so over the years I’ve prepared a little list of questions. The extraterrestrials are very advanced, remember. So I ask things like, “Please provide a short proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem.” Or the Goldbach Conjecture. And then I have to explain what these are, because extraterrestrials will not call it Fermat’s Last Theorem. So I write out the simple equation with the exponents. I never get an answer. On the other hand, if I ask something like “Should we be good?” I almost always get an answer.”
