The tag team duo Noah and Jonesy sit down and talk themselves into actually liking the acclaimed Henry Fonda make or break cinematic masterpiece The Grapes of Wrath. The Grapes of Wrath is a 1940 drama film directed by John Ford. It was based on John Steinbeck's 1939 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. The screenplay was written by Nunnally Johnson and the executive producer was Darryl F. Zanuck. Does it hold up? Is it truly one of the best? We'll be the judge of that. Next Up: Star Wars (1977)

Ep. 52 - Psycho (1960) : Where Mommy Issues Morph into an Existential Crisis Dec 07, 2016

Show notes

Noah and Jonesy, dressed in their finest old lady clothes and dusty wigs, discuss the Alfred Hitchcock hit: Psycho! Mild mannered hottie Marion Crane steals $40,000 from her employer in order to run away with her hunky fella Sam. But as paranoia and guilt get to her, she finds herself taking up a room in the Bates Motel and meets the nice-guy-but-is-he Norman Bates. What follows is a story filled with mommy issues, mystery, murder, stuffed birds for some reason, and tension that all culminates in a twist the likes of which M Night Shyamalan probably spent his teenage "special alone time" thinking about! WIth everyone knowing how the movie ends nowadays, does the twist still pack a punch? Aren't stab wounds supposed to appear on the body where someone gets stabbed? Does the movie still deserve to be considered one of the best ever made? We'll be the judge of that.

Show notes

Noah and Jonesy struggle with finding why this so-called gem, in what people call one of Buster Keaton's most physical and cinematic rolls.

Show notes

With special guest, designer and movie junkie, Skolter, Noah and Jonesy try and land on their feet while making sense of Halle Berry's 2004 hit -- in the face -- wannabe blockbuster, Catwoman. Were the puns as purrfect as we remembered? How much cat-nip did the cast and crew smoke? And if this was changed to Dogwoman, would it have saved Halle Berry's career? We'll be the judge. Catwoman is the story of shy, sensitive artist Patience Philips (Halle Berry), a woman who can't seem to stop apologizing for her own existence. She works as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product. When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she finds herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy. What happens next changes Patience forever.
