Alien with Special Guest Owen Egerton Apr 04, 2019

Show notes

To kick off April O'Bannon, Brian and Cargill are joined by filmmaker Owen Egerton (Blood Fest, Mercy Black) to give a big face-hug to Ridley Scott's Alien.
The guys discuss how Alien influenced the holy triumvirate of geek movies to follow even as it was itself influenced by three that came before it. They also sink their pharyngeal jaws into Dan O'Bannon's style, original script, and tireless (sometimes irksome) demands for the final product.
Also, it turns out that in space, everyone can hear them sing Toto, christen an unlikely new Disney princess, and find Nazi gold at the McCallister house.
Download, listen, enjoy! And make sure to check out Owen's movie Mercy Black now on Netflix!

Batman-Mask of the Phantasm Mar 28, 2019

Show notes

Your angels of death (by chocolate) fulfill another Patron request, and one of Brian’s longtime wishes, by covering Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
The guys discuss the influence of Batman: The Animated Series, the bold choices made by this animated flick, and the incredible voice cast that includes a fallen JFC icon.
Also discussed are Die Hard in Gotham, Brian’s first exposure to the show China Beach, and what makes a real sandwich artist.
Download, listen, and share or the joke’s on you!

V. I. Warshawski Mar 20, 2019

Show notes

Brian and Cargill take on their most challenging patron-requested episode as they vociferously investigate V.I. Warshawski.
While the guys otherwise only ever discuss movies they love, the uphill dissection of this 1991 thriller does lead to some valuable screenwriting advice, a discussion of great Chicago-based films, and loads of...Sean Connery being grumpy about stuff?

Phantom of the Paradise Mar 07, 2019

Show notes

Brian and Cargill wrap up Guys Who Rock with a trip to Paradise.
They discuss the weird wonderful Phantom of the Paradise and how it feels like an American International Picture as well as free ride for a very established director...neither of which are true.
Also discussed are fried beef, Paul Williams as The Devil, and Scrooge McButler!
Enjoy!

Heavy Trip Feb 28, 2019

Show notes

Get ready to have your rectums impaled until you’ve got a heavisaurus! Brian and Cargill prove they’re metal with Heavy Trip!

Velvet Goldmine Feb 14, 2019

Show notes

Brian & Cargill are kicking off Guys Who Rock month with a beautiful deconstruction of the glam rock era: Velvet Goldmine.
The guys discuss the performances, the music, and how David Bowie threatening to sue the production was the best thing that could've happened. They also talk about Coffee Achievers, have their first ever legal system sidebar, and, yes, make a lot of lightsaber jokes in poor taste.
Enjoy, darlings!
