The Seventh Sign May 09, 2018

Show notes

This week, continuing their journey through #Summerof88, Brian and Cargill break open religious thriller The Seventh Sign starring Demi Moore. No, not The Seventh Seal...although creepy Angel of Death Jurgen Prochnow does keep breaking open seals every time an omen comes to pass so it technically should be called The Seventh Seal. Oh well, guess that name was taken.
The guys discuss the Biblical balls of this flick, the new show tradition of the Jurgen Pause-Now, and how The Seventh Sign accurately predicted the coming...of Gerard Butler?
Download and share the episode. To not do so, would be a sin.

Die Hard May 02, 2018

Show notes

Welcome to the party, pals! Brian and Cargill kick off Summer of 88 with the towering masterpiece that is Die Hard.
How did Japanese auto monopolies inspire the story? Why are SWAT guys afraid of shrubbery? And was Frank Sinatra really offered the role of John McClane? All this, plus the debate over Theo rages on. #LessTheoMoreArgyle
Download the podcast, we’ll get together, have a few laughs.

Hard Rain Apr 25, 2018

Show notes

Brian and Cargill close out Heist Month with one last score.
Hard Rain is a southern-fried noir drowned in hundreds of thousands of gallons of practical water effects. It’s a great movie misremembered as a bad movie, and it ties in directly with...Justified?
All this plus Jars of Clay gives Brian Nam flashbacks.

Fast Five Apr 18, 2018

Show notes

Put on your funderwear, because Brian and Cargill finally talk about a Fast & Furious movie!
Fast Five is the perfect movie to tailgate our discussion on the Ocean’s movies, given how much the former high-speed rips off the latter.
The guys discuss the magical rebirth of the Fast/Furious franchise, the crater-sized impact of adding The Rock, and how to render NPC bystanders so even a giant safe careening through buildings can’t kill them.
Gather the family, chug some Corona, and enjoy his week’s show!

Ocean’s Thirteen Apr 12, 2018

Show notes

With this week’s delectable dive into Ocean’s Thirteen, Brian and Cargill set out to prove two things: 1.) That the Ocean’s movies represent one of cinema’s best trilogies and 2.) That the nose definitely plays.
They also discuss why Yen is Chewbacca, how Fender Rhodes might be part of the Marvel cinematic universe, and who Al Pacino is really portraying in this movie.

Ocean's Eleven (2001) Apr 05, 2018

Show notes

Brian and Cargill plan the perfect caper to steal your time as they wax suavely on Ocean's Eleven. As part of their month-long celebration of their favorite heist movies, the guys explain why Ocean's Eleven isn't just one of the greatest heist movies of all time, but in fact one of the best movies of the 21st Century.
They discuss the crew, the con, and the cool-as-Sinatra score. They also invent their own Junky criminal lingo, irresponsibly insert Owen Wilson into the flick, and discuss how Ocean's Eleven is essentially a sci-fi film.
Next week, they'll cover Ocean's Thirteen. Ocean's Twelve will be released as a Patron-exclusive episode; they believe this to be a magnificent movie trilogy.
Download, listen, and share. Come on, you know you owe us from the thing with the guy in the place.

The Equalizer Mar 28, 2018

Show notes

Closing out the #DenzelWatchingthon, we arrive at the movie that proves that old Denzel is the most lethal Denzel.
We discuss The Equalizer in the context of 2014's onslaught of old man revenge flicks, how it perfectly adapts the television series, and why Antoine Fuqua is the new Tony Scott. We also explain why we were so skeptical of David Harbour on Stranger Things.

Deja Vu Mar 22, 2018

Show notes

Brian and Cargill and Brian and Cargill continue their temporal progression through The Denzel Watchingthon with a Tony Scott flick Brian had never seen...at least he thought he hadn't.
Can you imagine solving a crime by peeking through time? Or if that sentence didn't rhyme? Denzel partners with Batman to stop Alt-Right Jesus in a thriller steeped in tragedy from the word go.
If you think you’ve already heard this episode, listen again.

Virtuosity Mar 15, 2018

Show notes

It’s virtual insanity as the Denzel Watchingthon brings Brian and Cargill face to interface with Virtuosity.
Famous for featuring great actors having a great time surrounded by not-so-great effects, Virtuosity is fifty terabytes of bonkers uploaded into our limited RAM.
The guys chat about Denzel’s dreads, the fragility of glass death, and why Russell Crowe is accidentally one of the best Jokers ever!
Download at your own risk!

Crimson Tide Mar 08, 2018

Show notes

Brian and Cargill continue the #DenzelWatchingthon in one of the only instances where this podcast discusses subs without ordering sandwiches.
Tony Scott’s Crimson Tide is an incredible work of masterful, claustrophobic tension featuring arguably cinema’s greatest squaring off of big screen alpha males.
It’s a movie we love, the Navy hated, and that is shockingly based on a true story in which this exact plot actually happened!
