3 flicks with a fancy for focus. Feast your follicles on this festival of films as we finish with the flames of 2020. Finally.
Links: Hateful 8.
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!
Links: Doctor Sleep, Gerald's Game, Suicide Kings, E.T., Sin City,
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.
Links: IT miniseries, Stranger Things s1 (also s1 spoiler-sode) & s2, The Help, Atomic Blonde (has 2 X-men links), Adventureland.
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!

A tasty batch of film delights from Japan, with one venturing beyond to tell a Russian tale.

Honoring Asian/Pacific Islander American Heritage Month, we look at some amazing things offered to us in recent years from filmmakers outside the U.S. Have at it, people!!
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..
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.
Our 1st shuffle-sode of the decade!! With varying levels of financial success, all 3 of these movies are tremendous to us. May they all gain the notoriety they deserve as quality entertainment.
- The Sia song is actually from Wonder Woman, not Alita, so watch THOSE credits with your kids!
Do you hear what I hear? What sound are we talkin' aboot? Listen in, get it sorted! 2 amazing movies, and a 3rd one that is very popular... (grin)
Behold! Another venture fanning out from a movie in the theaters to see what else the actors have been in. Plenty o' Bond films, but did you SEE Logan Lucky?! Maybe you should - see what Matt has to say aboot it.
ALSO - go see Knives Out with the fam: a hilariously good experience.
Stephen King is so legendary that you'll waste your time seeking a person that doesn't know who he is. Lately, seeing everything of his produced on screen is becoming very difficult - too many to keep track of for a mere mortal. Clearly Netflix likes his stuff, and clearly the Sluts like Netflix, so it just made sense to do this episode as we round out October. A variety of horror style flavors with good performances all around.
Have no fear of something new - it's just another way to say "Shuffle-sode." This time the flicks were truly grabbed out of a bag, so it seemed appropriate. As we hope to start fires in your mind for movies to shove in your eyes, Matt enjoyed a newly kindled flame this episode. See how these 3 decades brought their entertainment game...
