Judge Dredd Nov 28, 2019

Show notes

It's Thanksgiving here in the states and that means it's time for this year's cinematic turkey. And you'd be hard-pressed to find a film that's as overstuffed as 1995's Judge Dredd. If you were a fan of the character from his appearances in the comic book 2000 A.D., this was a pretty big betrayal of that source material. If you had no familiarity with it whatsoever, this was just an incoherent version of much better action/sci-fi movies. As a result, it was a critical and commercial disappointment. It's since transformed into a cult film and this entire run of bizarre 90s adaptations has almost become its own sub-genre. So what's the verdict on Judge Dredd all these years later? Topics include: how RoboCop derailed plans for this movie for many years, the big differences between the film and the comic, how so much more is being taken from those pages than you might realize, why some of the alterations probably felt like the right all at that time, whether or not the Karl Urban Dredd movie is ultimately any more faithful than this one, the other Stallone movie from this era that has more in common with 2000 A.D., and so much more!

About The Show

The Terminator Nov 15, 2019

Show notes

To coincide with the release of the latest Terminator movie, we decided to go back to where it all began - James Cameron's 1984 classic The Terminator. Given how elaborate and grandiose this franchise became, it's easy to forget just how lean and mean this original film is. It actually has more in common with Halloween than it does with the subsequent installments. Cameron was definitely borrowing some moves from John Carpenter's playbook, but also putting a brand new spin on a lot of familiar elements. The result is A+ execution of a B-movie premise. Topics include: Arnold Schwarzenegger originally being offered the role of Reese, the studio's first choice for the role of The Terminator, how incredibly this story unfolds and trying to imagine seeing it for the first time with no pre-existing knowledge of any Terminator movies, structural similarities to T2, what the more recent sequels have gotten wrong about Sarah Connor, and much more!

About The Show

The Fly Oct 31, 2019

Show notes

Happy Halloween! Although David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of The Fly is more interested in exploring existential horrors, its central theme of transformation still made it feel like an appropriate pick for the holiday. It's gory, it's gruesome, and Cronenberg's one-of-a-kind sensibilities are anchored by three incredible lead performances that approach this somewhat hokey premise with total sincerity. Topics include: the unlikely benefactor behind the film, the resistance to casting Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, how their real life relationship effected the production, some of the more infamous deleted scenes, alternate endings, unmade sequels, and more!

About The Show

Addams Family Values Oct 18, 2019

Show notes

We're back from our hiatus and we can't wait to tell you all about our trip to Camp Chippewa! The first Addams Family movie was definitely a very successful update to this creepy & kooky clan, but we're of the opinion that this sequel is where director Barry Sonnenfeld and his amazing cast really hit their stride.

Topics include: why you've never heard the episode we recorded for the first Addams Family, the reason we're okay with them recycling certain plot points for this follow up, Wednesday's expanded role, the unbridled genius of Joan Cusack, the strange story of why this ends with one of the worst and laziest tie-in songs ever written, the third Addams Family movie that went straight-to-video, and much more!

About The Show

Risky Business Aug 30, 2019

Show notes

Although it sometimes gets relegated to being another run-of-the-mill 80s teen comedy, Risky Business actually has a lot more going for it. The visuals, the score, the writing... across the board, this is probably a lot more sophisticated than a lot of people remember. It certainly wasn't what any of us were expecting the first time we watched it, but it definitely made an impression. How does it fare almost 40 years later? Let's find out... Topics include: our initial expectations that this was going to be closer in tone to a John Hughes movie, some interesting recollections from the cast about working with Tom Cruise, our own memories of being left home alone at this age, the alternate ending, the return of Role Reversal, and much more!

About The Show

Reservoir Dogs Aug 16, 2019

Show notes

Reservoir Dogs was matched by the amount of controversy it generated. This mean-spirited little movie made a great big impact on audiences and critics and it completely changed the landscape of independent cinema. A few of the edges may have been dulled over the years, but the most interesting thing about the film now is just how many of the elements that would go on to define Tarantino's career were already here right from the jump. Topics include: the even scrappier version of this they almost made and how one phone call changed everything, why the non-linear approach to the storytelling heightens almost every aspect of this, our varying thresholds for just how cruel it gets, which part Tarantino originally wanted to play himself, deleted scenes, and much more!

About The Show

High Fidelity Aug 02, 2019

Show notes

High Fidelity has been on our list since the very first year of this podcast, so we knew all three of us were fans. What was interesting to discover though was just how dramatically our feelings about John Cusack's character have shifted over the years. The film definitely still works, but in a completely different way than it did when we were in our 20s.

Topics include: the novel this is based on by Nick Hornby, the filmmakers decision to move the setting from London to Chicago, what it was like spending some of our formative years in the neighborhood where this takes place, the surprising number of deleted scenes, how the final act sets this apart from other similar movies, and much more!

Ocean's Eleven Jul 19, 2019

Show notes

The HDYR gang's playing like there's nothing to lose with a look back at Steven Soderbergh's 2001 remake of Ocean's Eleven. I know, I know... we can't believe this one's eligible either. Topics include: key differences between this version and the original, why this film's particular brand of escapism hit at exactly the right time, alternate casting choices for a lot of these roles, your Real Life Retweets, and much more!
