Episode 143: Dune: Part Two & Monkey Man

Greetings, programs! We're back after a two-week hiatus! This week, we're talking about something a little different: 1989s Road House and 2024s Road House.  The former is an 80s action classic with big hair, cheesy dialogue, and throat rips and then the latter is an update that tests the limits of how much Jake Gyllenhaal can carry a movie. Join us!

BONUS CONTENT:     

Greetings patrons! We're back after a two-week break with a new bonus episode! This week, we have a special guest, Dakota Arsenault, host of the Contra Zoom Podcast. We get into a few topics with him, including movies with the score played live, home video packaging, and the best remakes. 

As always, we greatly appreciate every one of you who is listening to this bonus round, and if you have answers to our questions here, please leave them in the comments!

Episode 140: Anyone But You & Avatar: The Last Airbender

Greetings programs!  We're back after a week away and talking about the new outer space set thriller I.S.S. and then catching up with France's official submission for the Best International Feature Oscar, The Taste of Things.  Our opinions are both the same and different about both of these movies, and one them garnered a pretty specific reaction from Matthew.

Join us!   

BONUS CONTENT:     

This week for your bonus episode, Simon and I talk first about films from our childhood that don't really hold up despite the nostalgia we may have attached to them, and then move on to films that are missing from our personal canon that may otherwise be embarrassing to admit.  All Patreon supporters get access to all bonus episodes, and support starts at just $2 CAD per month.   We'd love it if you consider joining.
