Black Dahlia vs. Summer of Sam
It's an episode about killings, see? Put on a hat & smoke a lot of cigarettes while listening. A novel episode with 2 movies that are not Matt's favorites: hopefully you'll find his ability to discuss a movie of value, whether or not he loves them...
Notes: STEVE Park was the actor Matt couldn't remember from Fargo. Terence Blanchard has scored a lot of television, Matt meant movies were mostly Lee.

Hobbit I
A departure from our default stance of slobbery love, Matt gets into some unflinching critique of a beloved director. Tune in for tea!!
Here's an eagle link, though not what Matt was looking for.

Rambo Last Blood vs. Terminator Dark Fate
Another chapter of what we plan to do a lot this summer: have movies duke it out for our preference! It's Sly v Arney... 2019 gave us new installments of franchises from the 80's; were they rockin? Were they rotten?
Let us tell you!!

It is what is says: listen if you've seen the show. If not - the previous episode is a non-spoiler discussion of the series.

Join Matt this episode for one of his favorite recent horror shows. A 9-layer bean dip of dread, this series rules all by putting so much into every character you see. Hear the slobber through your ear pieces! Do it!

We already covered the mini-series, so we are overdue in considering how the films rounded out. So, uh, here we are. BTW, the flicks are rated 73% & 65% on IMDB. Matt says more like 83/75.

GUEST HOST: THE BOB!!!
The good doctor graces our 2nd mic to wax on & off about some Stephen King, both on screen & on the page. Possibly breaking a record for the longest recording session to date, this had to be broken up into 2 episodes. The discussion of Dr. Sleep will follow in 2 weeks.
Guess what? - the lazy scene transition we mentioned, turns out the scene itself took over 100 takes!!! Guess that's where the focus was. Here's a vid about it.

Another visit to Fincher Corner brings about a movie we've long wanted to cover. Not necessarily your typical murder mystery, it dramatizes an actual killer & his actual pursuers. Um, played by actors of course, but a tremendous amount of effort was involved
to include some of the real folks as consultants. Check it out!

After putting it off for a long time, we finally talk about documentaries, and they're all old! Yet still hauntingly relevant. Did Tiger King incite this episode? Darn Tootin' it did! We spend a few minutes waxing about that as well. Eat the episode up & careful with the salt shaker..
March 9th, 2020
- The Transporter
- The Foreigner
- Layer Cake
Something we haven't done for an episode in quite a while, here's a trio to watch INSTEAD of The Gentlemen, which does not get our stamp of super approval. Passable, but not quality Guy Ritchie. Through the details, we found some interesting connections between this seemingly random assortment.
Note: the meanie face dude in Transporter was in 2 of the Blade flicks (as 2 different characters) & a few of the Fast & Furious movies also, so many may know him though Matt does not.
