You never asked for it, but he's been brought back. Tyler Cartwright rejoins the show to talk about the movie his father stars in, Roadside Prophets.

Roadside Prophets is the worst movie we have watched so far. It is an incomprehensible mess that wields the worst qualities of the 90s. Somehow both timeless and aged to perfection, the navel gazing gen x narrative goes exactly nowhere, and feels justified in doing so.

Yes, we did deceive Tyler in the beginning of the show.

Previous Episode

Shadows and Fog (1991)

Look, sometimes, we aren't always at our best. This is a lacking episode, we know. Maybe it's even the worst one yet. But sometimes when you're slamming out John Cusack specific episodes of a weekly podcast, you have to have a dud somewhere in the mix.

Unfortunately, it had to happen with a Woody Allen film, and a pretty good one at that, Shadows and Fog. We do not condone the man, but can we enjoy his movies? We do have this conversation because you always have to have this conversation.

Not blaming anyone. . . but one of our hosts got sick after this episode. Have some freaking sympathy.

Next Episode

The Player (1992)

A dark episode for a dark movie. We watched Robert Altman's classic satirical masterpiece, The Player (1992). Another one of these films that is classically good and well constructed, Lucas and Dylan dissect hollywood and the production stories that color most independent films of the time. (Possibly the best movie from this decade of John's career?)

Alfred E Neuman/Chuck E Cheese. Do you see the parallel? See through the code.
