256 - Foxes Oct 12, 2025

255 - Porky's Sep 29, 2025

Show notes

Tim and Jen aren’t scandalized by infamous teen gross-out comedy Porky’s, it just kind of makes them scratch their heads.

Someone compiled every Siskel and Ebert review of a Bob Clark film from Murder By Decree to one we actually covered on the show, Loose Cannons. Only the Judd Nelson-starring From the Hip is missing. Maybe they didn’t bother.

254 - Rock 'n' Roll High School Forever Sep 22, 2025

Show notes

Jen and Tim invite Patrick Cosmos back to the show to discuss the woeful sequel to Rock ’n’ Roll High School! Please drop us a line at info@haveyouseen.us if you understand the refrigerator bit.

Filmmaker Adan Gonzales obviously produced Forever: The Untold Story of Rock ’n’ Roll High School Forever as a labor of love, and audio issues aside, it’s a charming look at a movie that I guess some people really like! If you grew up listening to nu-metal and watching Pauly Shore comedies, check out the rest of his YouTube channel as well.

The LA Times has the rundown on the fairly disastrous debut of Feldman’s self-produced documentary My Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys.

253 - Boom Sep 08, 2025

Show notes

Tim and Jen welcome Chris Person of the Aftermath website to discuss John Waters’s favorite film, Joseph Losey’s big swing at Tennessee William’s first flop, Boom!

We highly recommend the worker-owned and reader-supported Aftermath, especially this incredibly detailed and helpful article about specialized industrial cleaners (well, Jen really liked it). Listeners may also enjoy this conversation between Chris and friend of the show David J. Roth about archiving overlooked film and television.

Richard Burton gets candid about his upbringing in a coal-mining family in Wales in thisDick Cavett interview.

252 - Josie and the Pussycats Aug 25, 2025

Show notes

Jen and Tim get around to a cute cult film about exploitation and capitalism, Josie and the Pussycats!

Get Russ Burlingame’s love letter to the film, Best Movie Ever! for 30% off with discount code SEENTHIS over at JosieBook.com! This comprehensive oral history of the film covers the beloved source comic, the production of the film, and the fierce devotion it inspired and continues to inspire in fans.

The reason Jen couldn’t find anything up-to-date on the lawsuit against Rosario Dawson is because it was dismissed in 2021.

It’s true, Archie really did meet the Punisher. They should invite him to appear on the Riverdale TV show.

251 - Dr. Caligari Aug 10, 2025

Show notes

Tim and Jen host the freakiest guest they know, the lovable Bitter Karella of Midnight Pals fame, to chat about one of the freakiest movies she knows, Dr. Caligari!

Screen Anarchy has a wonderful gallery of Caligari director Stephen Sayadian’s work,going all the way back to his earliest days as an editorial illustrator. Included are some reminisces about Dr. Caligari!

Read a 2024 interview with Caligari co-writer Jerry Stahl, in which he speaks candidly about sobriety and being an artist in a world ruled by money.

250 - The Tourist Aug 03, 2025

Show notes

Jen and Tim unearth one of the most famous unproduced screenplays of all time, Clair Noto's dark sci-fi tale The Tourist.

Read the Clair Noto interview that reminded Jen that this screenplay exists!

Read the screenplay itself at the Internet Archive— highly recommended

You can watch the BBC Moving Pictures segment on The Tourist, featuring the screenwriter herself, on YouTube.

See more of Giger's concept art for The Tourist at the charmingly Web 1.0 official Giger website.

Shelley Hack?!

249 - The Oscar Jul 20, 2025

Show notes

Tim and Jen experience a stodgy treatment of Hollywood avarice, The Oscar.

Friend of the show Josh Olson does indeed appreciate the corniness of this movie— so much so that you can hear him join comedian Patton Oswalt and filmmaker Erik Nelson for the audio commentary on the Kino Lorber blu-ray!

If you’re dying to read an academic paper on The Oscar, have at it.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

248 - Turn On Jul 14, 2025

Show notes

Jen and Tim unearth a cursed relic: the television show cancelled before the final credits even rolled, Turn On!

Thank you, SoapsNThings on YouTube, for archiving so many episodes of Peyton Place.

The offensive Aussie show Jen alluded to that also got cancelled during the first episode was "Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos." You can see the singular episode at the Internet Archive!

Finally, Gershon Kingsley's "Popcorn" is kind of a bop.
