The Yakuza (1974) May 09, 2019

Show notes

Wrapping up April O’Bannon (in May, whatever), Brian and Cargill wholesale remember why they love Total Recall.

Dead & Buried Apr 25, 2019

Show notes

The guys discuss the twists, the effects (by Stan Winston...mostly), and invent a new, disturbing teeshirt cannon.
Download listen and share! Come on, you can sleep when you’re dead..maybe.

The Shadow Live from Chattanooga Apr 18, 2019

Show notes

Who knows whether Cargill will turn around on one of Brian's favorite 90s superhero movies? The Shadow knows. And so do the good folks of The Chattanooga Film Festival. And now, you will know too!
The guys throw on their capes and invade each other's minds as they discuss the source material, the problematic hero, and the even more troubling element of The Shadow's nose.
They also discuss future jails, a series of super sodas, and Brian screams about the collected guest stars of one particular 90s cartoon.
The whiskey of Chatt bore bitter fruit, and now it is ripe for your ear garden.
