HEADHUNTED- AN INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR JORDAN DOWNEY
May 21, 2021
Show notes
This is a very, VERY special episode. We could not be more excited to have our guest for this episode, Jordan Downey director of the Thankskilling Films, as well as the legendary small budget triumph, The Headhunter. This was a real treat as we got to talk directly with someone who is making small films that feel tremendous in scope and actually ask them direct questions based off of what we saw. Jordan sheds some incredible insight into the process of making a film, and shares some extremely thoughtful answers.
OH YES, we are still doing the IMDB Roundup and still talking The Cavs, our guest's team of choice!
The Headhunter is streaming EXCLUSIVELY on SHUDDER! Make sure to check it out!

Show notes
We've been away for...some time! Life gets in the way, what can we say? There's some housekeeping here that details it, but to suffice to say, we've battled housing displacement and a death in the family. Tough times for sure. But, The Illegal Screen can never die and we are back and better than ever with a truly amazing guest, Ian of Lamniformes Radio! In this episode we talk Meme Pages, the film Annihilation by Alex Garland, bring ourselves closer to madness through our IMDB roundup, and finally we talk about the trade season and the CHICAGO BOWLS.

MANK (AND HIS NBA GAMBLING DEBTS)
Jan 11, 2021
Show notes
We're back! Happy first week of 2021 everyone, lmao. We're talking Mank of course, and doing a deep dive into the surprisingly ignored Fincher effort. We talk it's ins and outs, history of the real Mank, and of course the politics of the film. Film Twitter why are you sleeping on it? We do some IMDB roundup and lose more of our souls. The discussion about the Harden trade deepens and we give ourselves a Mank style analysis on where he could end up, as well as what the hell is going on with the NBA. Stay tuned to the end as well for a special message! Did Brian take too much Benadryl again? Did Mike make us do multiple takes of every line in this pod? Will Harden find a home? GODWHYAREWESTILLTALKINGABOUTTHIS. Will the Tampa Bay Raptors be successful? You be the judge!
NBA SPECIAL: JAMES HARDEN MEZCAL BLACKOUT AT CLUB FANTASY
Nov 18, 2020
Show notes
IT'S THE NBA OFFSEASON! Which is mostly a hologram. Which means, CHAOS, armchair GM'ing, and plenty of speculator nonsense. Mike joins the boys to talk shop. We're talking major trade possibilities and trade specters. We're also talking James Harden and how he will decide his new location depending on local GENTLEMAN'S CLUB scene. And why Russell Westbrook needs, NEEDS to fight everyone. TONS of fun to be had! Make sure to take some copium before listening!
