It is that time of year again, when we talk about some of the talented performers and creators we lost in the past year. From The Wire to The Golden Girls to The Sound of Music to Saturday Night Live to Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song to Superman to Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? to The Monkees to Saved By the Bell to Arrested Development, nary a genre was left untouched. Join us, won’t you, for this moment of reflection and appreciation.

All of a sudden, whoa...there’s Beastman
Once upon a time, there was a movie that told a story. A story of a rather dumb truck driver and his much more capable friend and their search for love, truth, and not-dying in the underworld of Chinatown. It was beloved by many, but not all. Today, dear friend, you will hear those who love the movie, and those who do not, attempt to tell why they loved, or did not love, this tale as old as...the mid- to late-1980s.- Jackbox Games

Gracie Law is a lawyer, because in 1986, your surname was your profession, as in olden tymes.
– AndyA first-listing marquee star who is really a second-fiddle. A third- or fourth-listing actor who really steals the show. Knee-high buckskin cowboy boots with tassels. A floating blob like a Garbage Pail Kids version of a beholder. And James Hong. Always James Hong. That’s right, it’s Big Trouble in Little China time.

Editorial Note: As you can tell by the dated references in this episode (“Laura Dern is in the upcoming Star Wars movie”), this was recorded many moons ago, and certainly before the accusations of sexual assault came out against Kevin Spacey. We certainly do not condone or endorse said behavior, and are very much okay with striking that pick from the record. CONSIDER IT STRICKEN.
Welcome to Part 1 of our discussion of the appropriately portmanteau’ed 1992 cape-medy (caper-comedy) ‘Sneakers’. This crew was hackers before it was cool to be hackers...I guess... But for real, this is a definite favorite of the group, and it shows in this first half, where we tackle the unenviable task of recasting this particularly great ensemble.

It’s two-fer time in this Special Episode, where we tackle two topics in one go, recorded live at our yearly visit to Wicks/Miller Cottage this past August. First, we discuss ‘The Sore Thumb’ – movies where one casting choice sticks out like a, well, sore thumb, and makes you say whaaaaa? Second, we reveal our picks for ‘The Black Stain’, which is a truly terrible movie that sits among many other great movies in a well respected actor’s or actress’ body of work. Some of these are terrible in the best/worst way. Enjoy!

I need two raw turkeys, an hour of privacy, and no questions asked.
We all have movies that we have seen approximately a gajillion times, and yet are totally happy to watch them again when we don’t know what to watch, or if we happen upon it on TV – this episode is about those Go-To Movies.

Remakers Mark Hidden Gems 3: The Dreamers

I would like to agree with Kyle, in that this movie made me uncomfortable.
For our third Hidden Gems film, things are going to get a wee bit sexy, and more than a wee bit uncomfortable, for we are discussing Bernardo Bertolucci’s 2003 homage to film and, ahem, familial love and welcoming, The Dreamers. Sacre bleu!

He’s got an additional skill set of horribleness and the best eyebrows in the biz.
– JerAn epic sci-fi novel. A classic struggle of good versus evil, of the oppressed versus the powerful, of nature versus humanity, of David Lynch versus the studios. We give you Dune! Or, at least, our remake of the 1984 version directed by Lynch and widely panned as being A Bad Movie. Which is too bad, because the novel is really good, the story of how the movie ever got made in the first place is intriguing, and the 2021 version is a sight better than this. Still, we are placed here for one purpose, and that is to theoretically remake movies. And thus, we fulfill our purpose.
