Show notes

The title promises a bloodbath, and the genius is how little blood it actually shows. Luke, Westy, and Matt begin the story of the grimy, ferocious horror that rewrote the rulebook.In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Tobe Hooper, the cast, and the second act — including the doomed road trip, the brutal Texas heat that made the shoot a nightmare, and the slow build to that first encounter with the house.The dinner-table scene is still to come, and it's as bad as you remember. Part 2 sits down: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.

Inception (2010) | Ep. 4 - Part 2 Sep 25, 2020

Show notes

That rotating corridor fight was built inside a giant spinning set, with actors thrown around for real, and it's still one of the best practical effects of the century. John, Westy, and Matt continue the story, descending into the nested dream layers.

We dig into the crew behind the film — Nolan's original screenplay, Hans Zimmer's seismic score, and the in-camera effects work that grounded the impossible — before breaking down the finale, that spinning-top ending everyone still argues about, the reception, and the legacy. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

For how the team comes together — Nolan, the cast, the first half — Part 1 is where to start.

Inception (2010) | Ep. 4 - Part 1 Sep 25, 2020

Show notes

You don't need us to tell you it's complicated. What's less known is how much of the dream-bending you see on screen Christopher Nolan insisted on doing for real. John, Westy, and Matt begin the story.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Christopher Nolan, the cast, and the second act — including Leonardo DiCaprio's grief-stricken Cobb, the rules of the dream-share laid out layer by layer, and the heist crew assembling for one last job.

The kick is coming, and we're not falling for it yet. Part 2 takes us deeper: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) | Ep. 3 - Part 2 Sep 11, 2020

Show notes

The painstaking animation was layered over the live footage frame by frame, with shadows and lighting added so the toons felt physically present, and it swept the technical Oscars. Luke, John, and Westy continue the story, down to the reveal.

We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay drawn from the novel, Alan Silvestri's score, and the revolutionary, award-winning animation and effects — before breaking down the finale, the box office triumph, and the legacy. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

Part 1 is where the mystery begins — Zemeckis, the cast, the first half. Worth going back for.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) | Ep. 3 - Part 1 Sep 11, 2020

Show notes

Getting cartoons and live actors to share the screen this convincingly had never been done at this scale, and it nearly didn't happen here. Luke, John, and Westy begin the story.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Robert Zemeckis, the cast, and the second act — including Bob Hoskins acting opposite thin air, the unprecedented studio deal that united rival cartoon characters, and the noir mystery underneath the mayhem.

Toontown and its secrets are still ahead. Part 2 opens the case: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.

Luke, Westy, and Matt continue the story as the Overlook closes in.We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay adapted from Stephen King's novel, the unnerving sound design and score, and the pioneering Steadicam cinematography — before breaking down the finale, the initially cool reception, and the film's towering legacy. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.For the drive in and the slow descent — Kubrick, the cast, the first half — head to Part 1.

Star Wars (1977) | Ep. 1 - Part 2 Aug 14, 2020

Show notes

Lucas was so convinced it would flop that he skipped the premiere and went on holiday. It became the highest-grossing film ever made. John, Westy, and Matt continue the story, building to the assault on the Death Star.

We dig into the crew behind the film — Lucas's screenplay, John Williams's era-defining score, and the founding of ILM and its groundbreaking effects — before breaking down the finale, the record-shattering reception, and the cultural earthquake that followed. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

For how it all begins on Tatooine — Lucas, the cast, the first half — head to Part 1.

Star Wars (1977) | Ep. 1 - Part 1 Aug 14, 2020

Show notes

Nearly everyone who worked on it thought it was going to be a disaster. John, Westy, and Matt begin the story of the troubled little space film that changed Hollywood forever.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director George Lucas, the cast, and the second act — including the runaway production in the Tunisian desert, the unknown young cast, and the effects technology Lucas had to invent from scratch.

The Death Star trench is still waiting. Part 2 makes the run: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.

Ranking Spielberg - Later Years Jul 03, 2020

Show notes

Life finds a way, and so will ATRM to talk about T. Rexs, pontificate about precogs, and converse about conmen as we rank the most magical moviemaker of them all. We were so preoccupied with whether we should, we didn't stop to think if we could.
