Ep. 176: WE'RE WOLVES

October is here: the leaves are changing, the shadows grow longer, the moon is full 100% of the time. What better reason to discuss three thrillers showcasing the ferocity of canis lupus—the common household wolf for those not versed in Latin!

Ep. 175: ASK US ANYTHING

So it's come to this: Emalie, Matt and Travis dutifully answer YOUR questions about movies, food, dogs, but mostly movies. Intriguing, no?

Ep. 174: WHAM BAM THANK YOU PAM

You can call Pamela Anderson an icon, you can call her a sex symbol, you can call her someone with pretty bad taste in men and/or music. But don't—and this is very important—call her 'babe.' In case that's something you were thinking about doing. SNAPDRAGON (1993, Worth Keeter) RAW JUSTICE (1994, David A Prior) BARB WIRE (1996, David Hogan)

Ep. 173: BRAT PACK PACK

The year was 1986, and the Brat Pack—a group of hot young actors that folks associated with each other—was on top of the world. Then these three movies were released, and that was basically the the end of that. BLUE CITY (1986, Michelle Manning) OUT OF BOUNDS (1986, Dick Tuggle) WISDOM (1986, Emilio Estevez)

Ep. 172: FIGHT THE TOWER

We watched three movies about the scariest types of buildings: tall ones! Yes, what's scarier than a skyscraper, floor after floor of potential for terror. And the only way out? A really cool wirework stunt fall! For the love of God, just TAKE THE STAIRS! BLACKOUT (1978, Eddy Matalon) DE LIFT (1983, Dick Maas) SKYSCRAPER (1996, Raymond Martino)

PATREON BONUS! 5 DEPALMAS (PT 1)

No new episode this week, so you know it's time for...ugh, "Classic SIKU." In this case we're putting our classic patreon ep FIVE DEPALMAS PART 1 up on the free feed! We read a whole book for this one! And it's from 2021, so that'll probably make it a pretty weird listen! CARRIE (1976) CASUALTIES OF WAR (1989) ARE SNAKES NECESSARY? (A novel! 2018)

Ep. 171: NAUGHTY BY NATURE

It's off to the deep wilderness for three nail-biters featuring killer wolves and bears! But—and you're not gonna believe this—it turns out the ultimate wild animal might just be...man? Well, in one of these it's definitely the wolves, but they're probably a metaphor for man. SHOOT TO KILL (1988, Roger Spottiswoode) THE EDGE (1997, Lee Tamahori) THE GREY (2011, Joe Carnahan)

Ep. 170: CLOONEY BIN

We're following the progression of notable movie actor George Clooney, from his humble, tic-filled beginnings, to the much less fussy "classic" period. He is hot in all the phases, of course. THE PEACEMAKER (1997, Mimi Leder) MICHAEL CLAYTON (2007, Tony Gilroy) THE AMERICAN (2010, Anton Corbijn)

Ep. 166: HEIST HEIST BABY

We're talking about heists, the more elaborate and far-fetched the better! None of this "drill open the safe" hooey, these heists have squibs, Mini Coopers, motor boats and alternate identities that have aged poorly!
