The boys get strange this week as Aaron forces another weirdo movie on them and Jimmy begins his transformation into a guy that hates movies. Plus, a cannibalism debate and another edition of Film Twitter IRL. All this and more as we discuss Mimi Cave's stylish horror debut, FRESH.
One film industry/pandemic satire, one writer/director/editor known for dramadies, and an ensemble cast half-filled with actors who have never improvised in their life. What could go wrong?
The boys return with special guest Jesse Arkwright to discuss the biggest movie of the year. But is it just another gritty comic book reboot, or does this Godfather-length epic transcend standard superhero fare? Get ready to get SERIOUS as we tackle Matt Reeve's dark take on THE BATMAN.
This week, we venture back into One Missed Call territory and pull a film from a list of "Movies That Don't Actually Exist" - but to shockingly different results. What happened to this late 2000s Nicholas Cage sci-fi disaster thriller, and why haven't more people seen it? Join us as we discuss the strange blip in his filmography that is Alex Proyas' KNOWING.
At the tail-end of a week of horror, the boys discuss sequels, continuity, and social commentary in horror. Plus, they disagree about this week's movie. Grab your friends and hop on the party bus because we're debating David Blue Garcia's new TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.
This week, Aaron raves about one of his favorite horror films that was shot in a location near and dear to our hearts. It's our second "of the Dead" film on the show and thankfully, Jimmy isn't so split on this one. Grab some red paint and hit your local abandoned mall because we're discussing George A. Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD.
James from Filmcore Digital joins us to discuss a long-anticipated (and delayed) prequel. Does it reach the highs of the previous films, or was it Rasputin us to sleep? Pack your parachute, because today, we dive into Matthew Vaughn's THE KING'S MAN.
This week, the boys return to their roots and finally cover the one that got away. Keep your cards close and Joe Pesci closer as we live in the bright lights and dramatic world created Martin Scorsese's CASINO.
If you ever debated watching a movie before listening to us talk about it, make it this one. Go in cold and pay attention. I'm going to leave it at that and end by quoting Gordon Ramsey: "Finally, a good f*cking movie."
The boys are back from a well-needed week off, only to face perhaps their greatest challenge yet. It's a film that not only 8th grade Aaron hated, but one that would go on to be considered the second-worst film of the entire 2000s. Grab some weird caviar-esque hard candies and check your voicemail for our take on Eric Valette's ONE MISSED CALL remake.
After a mixed reception to Star Trek: The Motion Picture, the boys are ready to give sci-fi's second greatest franchise another chance as they discuss what has become a favorite amongst fans of the genre. As it turns out, all you have to do to make a good Star Trek film is hire a director who doesn't care about the show, cut the budget in half, and make William Shatner feel insecure about his age. Take your positions as we review this strangely Moby Dick influenced sequel directed by Nicholas Meyer, STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN!
This week, Jimmy revisits a teenage favorite of his and reluctantly takes Aaron along for the ride. Does Crank's extreme style over substance hold up 15 years later? Is Aaron just anti-fun? Grab as much nasal spray and name-brand energy drink as you can as we travel back to a very Bush-era America and discuss Neveldine & Taylor's CRANK.
We're a big fan of franchises here, and with the beginning of the year always being pretty sparse on notable new releases, we've decided to experiment with one after our own hearts. Join Next Gen fan, Jimmy, and casual observer of the Original Series, Aaron, as they analyze the film franchise that was inspired by the sci-fi films its series originally inspired. Did we lose you yet? Set phasers to stun as we sit through Robert Wise's STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE.
For our first "most hated" film of LoMo's Most Wanted, Aaron has selected the first film he remembers having the self-awareness to hate in theaters. He was 10. But is the movie as bad as he remembers, or is Jamie Kennedy misunderstood? Spoiler alert: the movie is still quite bad. Please forgive Aaron for always forgetting to upload on time and take stock of your babies and pets as the boys bravely subject themselves to Lawrence Guterman's SON OF THE MASK.
It's the second most-watched film on Netflix within 28 days of release, but is it any good? Is Don't Look Up more Dr. Strangelove or Weekend Update? Does it even matter? Join us as we discuss the ups and downs of 2021's most topical science-fiction satire film, Adam McKay's DON'T LOOK UP.
After a nice holiday break, the boys are back with a new season and a new gimmick: LOMO'S MOST WANTED. We start with one that's been on Aaron's list for some time and one that Jimmy grew up with. Suspend your disbelief at the door, because this week, we sign up for David Fincher's THE GAME.
On our season finale, Aaron and Jimmy discuss Kubrick's final film, a mysterious, two-and-a-half-hour erotic drama intensified by a real-life celebrity marriage. But was it finished at the time of the director's death? We also rank the movies of season 4. Grab your masquerade masks and don't forget the password as we uncover the surreal sights and sounds of Stanley Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT.
Ho ho no! Our friends at No Hugging, No Learning were naughty this year, and as punishment, we subjected them to an insane, Hulk Hogan-starring family adventure fever dream that we found on Youtube. No one made it through in one sitting. Throw on your best Desert Storm camo and join us for our first annual Christmas special as we suffer through John Murlowski's SANTA WITH MUSCLES.
Are you looking for a meta cosmic horror mystery that doubles as a tribute to both H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King? Boy, is this week's movie for you. Hear about dream logic, the old gods, and what it feels like to go insane as we as we join John Carpenter IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS.
(Marc Maron voice) Hey folks. Episodes are going to be a little sporadic in these last couple weeks of the year, but we're still wrapping up our Kubrick/Carpenter season with a holiday special coming soon! In the meantime, we sat down for a surprisingly genuine and thoughtful talk about one of the most iconic war films ever made. The horror...wrong movie, but you get the idea. Grab your jelly doughnuts and join us as we enlist for Stanley Kubrick's FULL METAL JACKET.
