Michael Mann has quietly been one of the best directors. How do we rank his movies? I bet #1 is the same but the rest will vary.
225: The Controdyssey
At the end of our discussion for Dick Tracy and The Shadow we got joined by a viewer and ended up discussing race in The Odyssey. For some reason it is a controversy. This causes Phoenix to double down on the drinking.
224: Dick Tracy (1990) vs. The Shadow (1994)
Two comic serials fight tonight. One will lose. One will win. Both will barely be discussed as we go off topic a lot. By the way the AI poster says 1994 for Dick Tracy but it’s 1990. AI is never wrong though.
223: Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018) & Top 10 Movies Of 2007
Remove the Charles Band, add in Thomas Lennon. Swap out the laziness and instead use quality kills. Oh, we also discuss the top 10 movies of 2007.
222: Primer (2004) & Top Ten Movies Of 2022
We discuss a movie that is barely a movie then we discuss movies from 2022 we didn’t hate.
221: Any Given Sunday (1999)
A cocaine movie made for steroids. Why edit your sports movie like an experimental movie? Why do so many things here.
220: David Fincher
Today we are gathered at the altar of Fincher to rank his 12 movies. Which of us has Alien 3 in their top 3? Probably neither but would be fun if we did!
219: Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) vs. High Fidelity (2000) & Widow's Bay Season 1 (2026)
Today we discuss 2 of the 5 good movies starring John Cusack. Shame on you sir. To be fair, must be hard to read all those scripts when you're living inside a Red Box machine.
218: Puppet Master: Axis Termination (2017)
217: The Bride! (2026) & Top 10 Movies Of 2010
Today we will discuss 2010 films; the year of our lord. Oh, we also briefly talk about a movie that exists from 2026. It happened. We can’t say it didn’t.
216: Catch-22 (1970)
In order to listen to this podcast, you need to be deaf. But you must go deaf from listening to this podcast.
215: Gremlins (1984) vs. Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)
Haven’t seen these in a while so why not watch and compare them? How can two movies be so similar and so different?
214: Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983)
213: Dune: Part Two (2024)
Well Adam didn’t get to see it now that it’s getting interesting. What a shame. Riding worms is super cool.
212: Top 10 Movies Of 2013 & 2011
We called in an audible to do this instead. Off screen we selected random years to do our top ten movies for. 2013 is up first, followed sometime by 2011. Keep in mind it’s every year movies have existed and randomly it’s 2 years 2 years apart. Math sucks. Which movies will win? Will your stupid favorite movie of 2013 make our lists? Find out and then send hate filled messages to us here!
211: Eyes Of Laura Mars (1978)
Somehow this ended up being a very good movie. Didn’t see that coming through visions that are dreamy and nauseating.
210: Fahrenheit 451 (1966) vs. Slaughterhouse-Five (1972)
No books versus no time management. Frenchman making an American story set in England is confusing. An American making a American author’s book about England is confusing too.
209: The Manchurian Candidate (1962) vs. (2004)
A classic movie versus a forgotten movie. Black and white versus color. One starring a white guy and one starring a black guy. Politics. Random words.
208: Puppet Master X: Axis Rising Redux (2012)
Well, we tried to do a redux on this. Except Dick watched the wrong movie. This movie is barely a movie. Shame on you, Charles Band.
207: Margin Call (2011) vs. Munich (2005)
In-depth dialogue about financial specifics of a company versus an in-depth depiction of post Olympic massacre murders. FUN!
