LATEST EPISODE 🔗

Godzilla (1954)

Most people have seen at least one Godzilla movie. Everyone's heard the unmistakable roar. But the first (and Charles thinks the best, much to Joseph's chagrin) is the original, the Numero Uno, the Ichiban: Gojira 1954 from Japan, directed by Ishiro Honda! This mean-ass monster, conceived and hatch…

PREVIOUS EPISODES

The English counterpart, The Grudge, takes us to America--no, wait. This remake takes place in Japan as well, in a similar house, and helmed by the same director, with the same murderous trio of obake! The only difference is that now there are a bunch of American expats around who are even less abl…

Ju-On (2002)

Nobody does horror quite like Japan, and it's fascinating to see the original Grudge before the Americans got ahold of it. This also serves as a reminder of the importance of full disclosure in real estate! Join us as we watch various unfortunate well-meaning Nihonjin try to cope with a raven-haire…
In keeping with Disney’s trend (for better or worse) of remaking its animated features as live action/CGI curiosities, we jump now to 2017 with Beauty and the Beast! Gasp and recoil with us as we take in Emma Watson’s two (perhaps 2.5) expressions and stooped shoulders, the monochromatic color pale…
DaBoyz are back after a loooooong hiatus! And for our reintroduction to our worldwide audience (hello Yemen!), we chose Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, the groundbreaking animated feature from 1991 and the first animated film to be nominated for the Academy Award® for Best Picture! Join us as we dis…

Footloose (2011)

Joseph finds Julianne Hough rather...brazen?  Charles finds...Andie MacDowell.  'Nuff said. Footloose words by Dean Pitchford and Kenny Loggins, Music by Kenny Loggins.  Let's Hear It For the Boy Words by Dean Pitchford, Music by Tom Snow.  Almost Paradise words by Dean Pitchfo…

Footloose (1984)

Charles remembers when Footloose came out in '84.  He was in college and didn't see it.  Joseph saw it on Betamax as a youngster.  But the soundtrack was ubiquitous, inescapable, and enjoyable to listen and dance to.  And now, finally watching the movie after all years, the one question on Charles'…

The Fly (1986)

Take a sip of an adult beverage every time Charles says "horrifying!" He's mostly sorry for the repetitiveness, but sometimes there's only one word that truly does a feeling justice.  There is plenty of horror here, specifically of the body kind that only David Cronenberg can deliver. Experience oo…

The Fly (1958)

Yes, it's campy, but we love (Charles loves) The Fly!  Vincent Price has only a supporting role but lends his--ahem--"highly cultured" presence to the proceedings, and this film actually vaulted his career.  A strawberry blonde actress is given awkward-scene-after-awkward-scene to play, but acquits…
From 1932’s What Price Hollywood?, to A Star Is Born from 1937, 1954, 1976, and now 2018!  This classic story of boy meets girl/girl gets famous/boy hits the skids never dies--it just gets a new Oscar-winning single.  This time it’s the one and only GaGAAAAAA (more on that later), also wi…
