Bury Our Bones With Cinema

They brought a knife, we brought a podcast. This week on Bury Our Bones With Cinema, Ryan Etherington and Jimmy Murphy take aim at Brian De Palma’s stylish 1987 crime classic, The Untouchables. Featuring Kevin Costner’s straight-laced Eliot Ness, Sean Connery’s Oscar-winning turn as a grizzled Irish cop, and Robert De Niro’s larger-than-life Al Capone, this Prohibition-era tale of justice and vengeance remains as gripping as ever.

Ryan digs into the film’s sweeping direction, unforgettable set pieces (hello, baby carriage scene), and Ennio Morricone’s epic score, while Jimmy brings the laughs with his sharp observations on the film’s unintentional camp and occasional over-the-top moments. Together, they explore what makes The Untouchables a perfect blend of gritty crime drama and old-school Hollywood spectacle.

Whether you’re here for the gunfights, the mob intrigue, or just Connery growling “That’s the Chicago way,” this episode is an offer you can’t refuse. So grab your fedora, load up your Tommy gun, and tune in—it’s criminally good fun!

“Do ya like dags?” This week on Bury Our Bones With Cinema, Jimmy Murphy and Ryan Etherington take on Guy Ritchie’s Snatch (2000), the stylish crime caper packed with sharp dialogue, wild characters, and more twists than a pretzel stand. From Brad Pitt’s scene-stealing turn as a mumbling bare-knuckle boxer to the chaotic diamond heist at its core, Snatch is a film as fast-paced as it is quotable.

Jimmy unpacks the film’s razor-sharp wit, frenetic editing, and colorful cast of rogues, while Ryan dives into its unique place in early 2000s British cinema. Of course, no Bury Our Bones episode would be complete without a tangent—this time about Virgin Cola, because apparently, you can’t discuss unlicensed boxing and pig farms without debating failed beverage empires.

Whether you’re a long-time fan of Ritchie’s signature style or just here to figure out what Brad Pitt is actually saying, this episode is pure gold (or should we say diamond?). So pour yourself a pint (but not Virgin Cola), polish off your replica Desert Eagle, and tune in—it’s unmissable.

Yippee-ki-yay! This week on Bury Our Bones With Cinema, Jimmy Murphy and Ryan Etherington scale Nakatomi Plaza to revisit the 1988 action classic Die Hard. With Bruce Willis redefining the action hero as everyman cop John McClane and Alan Rickman delivering one of cinema’s greatest villain performances as Hans Gruber, Die Hard remains the ultimate high-stakes thrill ride.

Jimmy digs into the film’s perfect mix of explosive action, razor-sharp humor, and unexpected heart, while Ryan explores how it transformed the action genre and sparked endless debates about whether it’s a Christmas movie. Together, they celebrate the film’s legacy, its unforgettable one-liners, and why barefooted chaos in a skyscraper has never been more fun.

Whether you’re a die-hard Die Hard fan or just tuning in for the first time, this episode has everything you need to relive the ultimate action movie experience. So grab your walkie-talkie, avoid the glass, and tune in—it’s a blast!

Put that cookie down—NOW! This week on Bury Our Bones With Cinema, Jimmy Murphy and Ryan Etherington tackle the chaotic holiday madness of Jingle All the Way (1996). Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a desperate dad on a frenzied quest to secure a Turbo-Man action figure, this festive comedy is as ridiculous as it is nostalgic. But fair warning: Jimmy hates it, and he’s not holding back.

While Ryan valiantly defends the film’s so-bad-it’s-good charm, Jimmy dives into why this yuletide fever dream drives him up the Christmas tree. From its over-the-top antics to Sinbad’s manic postman energy, the duo explores whether Jingle All the Way is a holiday classic or just coal in cinematic form.

Whether you love it, hate it, or love to hate it, this episode is stuffed with more laughs than a stocking full of Turbo-Man merch. So strap in, avoid the mall crowds, and tune in—it’s the Christmas chaos you didn’t know you needed!

In this no-holds-barred solo episode, Ryan Etherington dives into the missteps of Hollywood’s attempts to bring beloved video games to the big screen. Focusing on the chaotic Street Fighter (1994) and the muddled Assassin’s Creed (2016), Ryan unpacks how these adaptations failed to capture the magic of their source material. From baffling creative choices to underwhelming storytelling, he explores why these films missed the mark for fans and newcomers alike.

With sharp insights and a dose of humor, Ryan reflects on the pitfalls of adapting interactive experiences into cinema and ponders what it will take to finally crack the code. If you’ve ever groaned through a video game movie, this episode is for you.
