Inglourious Basterds (2009) | Ep. 34 - Part 2 Jan 12, 2024

Show notes

Waltz's performance was so good Tarantino said it saved a film he'd nearly given up on, and it won him an Oscar. John, Westy, and Matt continue the story, building to the night at the cinema.

We dig into the crew behind the film — Tarantino's screenplay, the eclectic curated soundtrack, and Robert Richardson's cinematography — before breaking down the explosive finale, the Cannes and awards reception, and the film's legacy. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

Not heard how Shosanna gets there? That's all Part 1.

Inglourious Basterds (2009) | Ep. 34 - Part 1 Jan 12, 2024

Show notes

Quentin Tarantino sat on this script for years, convinced he couldn't crack it, before rewriting history entirely. John, Westy, and Matt begin the story of his audacious war fantasy.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Quentin Tarantino, the cast, and the second act — including that masterful opening dairy farm interrogation, Christoph Waltz's star-making Hans Landa, and Tarantino's chapter-by-chapter structure.

The cinema scene is loaded and waiting, and we're not there yet. Part 2 lights the fuse: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.

Luke, Westy, and Matt continue the story as Ralph Fiennes's Harry arrives.We dig into the crew behind the film — McDonagh's Oscar-nominated screenplay, Carter Burwell's mournful score, and the cinematography that turns Bruges into a character — before breaking down the finale, the reception, and the film's enduring cult love. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.For how the two of them wind up there in the first place, Part 1 is the place to start.

It's a fairy-tale town, and two hitmen are stuck there hating every minute of it. Luke, Westy, and Matt begin the story of Martin McDonagh's pitch-black comedy of guilt and gunmen.In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Martin McDonagh, the cast, and the second act — including Colin Farrell's restless Ray, Brendan Gleeson's contemplative Ken, and a job gone horribly wrong hanging over both.There's a reckoning coming, and a man with very particular rules.

Die Hard (1988) | Ep. 32 - Part 2 Dec 08, 2023

Show notes

Alan Rickman's terrified fall was filmed by genuinely dropping him a beat earlier than he expected, and the reaction is real. John, Westy, and Luke continue the story, picking up at the rooftop showdown.

We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay adapted from a novel, Michael Kamen's score, and the practical stunt and effects work behind the tower — before breaking down the finale, the reception, and the enormous template it set for the genre. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores. And, yes, the Christmas debate.

Not heard how Gruber takes the building? Part 1 has it all.

Die Hard (1988) | Ep. 32 - Part 1 Dec 08, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to the party, pal. John, Westy, and Luke begin the story of how a film starring the guy from Moonlighting accidentally rewrote the rulebook for the action movie.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director John McTiernan, the cast, and the second act — including Bruce Willis as the reluctant everyman hero, Alan Rickman's screen debut as Hans Gruber, and Nakatomi Plaza becoming a character in its own right.

Yippee-ki-yay, there's more to come. Part 2 is out now, with the crew, the rooftop finale, the reception, the legacy, and the Christmas question settled once and for all.

Drive (2011) | Ep. 31 - Part 2 Nov 24, 2023

Show notes

The film was sold as an action movie and got someone so annoyed they sued, which tells you exactly how it subverts expectations. Luke, Westy, and Matt continue the story.

We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay adapted from the novel, the synth-pop soundtrack that became a phenomenon, and the cinematography that bathed LA in neon — before breaking down the finale, the Cannes reception, and its instant cult status. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

Part 1 sets the scene — Refn, the cast, the slow burn before it snaps. Worth starting there.

Drive (2011) | Ep. 31 - Part 1 Nov 24, 2023

Show notes

A stuntman moonlights as a getaway driver, says almost nothing, and becomes one of the coolest characters of the decade. Luke, Westy, and Matt begin the story of Nicolas Winding Refn's neon-soaked thriller.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Nicolas Winding Refn, the cast, and the second act — including Ryan Gosling's near-silent Driver, the dreamy LA atmosphere, and the sudden, shocking violence that breaks the spell.

Keep the engine running. Part 2 picks up the pace: crew, finale, reception, and that instant cult status. Out now.

Casino Royale (2006) | Ep. 30 - Part 2 Nov 10, 2023

Show notes

A Bond film ends not with an explosion but with a broken heart and a famous final line, and it reset the whole franchise. John, Westy, and Matt continue the story.

We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay with an uncredited Paul Haggis polish, David Arnold's score, and the stunt work behind the action — before breaking down the Venice finale, the reception that won the doubters over, and the film's legacy. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

If you've not heard Part 1 is where Bond gets his licence — Campbell, the cast, the first half. Go back for it.

Casino Royale (2006) | Ep. 30 - Part 1 Nov 10, 2023

Show notes

How do you reboot the most famous character in cinema when half the audience has already decided your new lead is wrong for the part? John, Westy, and Matt begin the story of how Daniel Craig silenced everyone.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Martin Campbell, the cast, and the second act — including the fan backlash before a frame was seen, the stripped-back take on Bond, and that parkour chase announcing a new era.

The cards are still on the table. Part 2 deals the rest: the crew, the Venice finale, the reception, and the legacy. Out now.
