EPISODE #416-- In this epic-length episode we take on the epic-length mini-series SHOGUN from 2024. In short: We loved it. It's a great remake of a great novel. A perfect follow-up to GAME OF THRONES. It's just what the doctor ordered. It's also great if you like to hear funny voices from loud white boys-- and I know you do.
We also talk about FALLOUT (2024) (again), Dev Patel's MONKEY MAN (2024), and James Cameron's THE ABYSS (1989).

We also talk about the continuing excellence of SHOGUN (2024), Amazon's FALLOUT (2024), Netflix's RIPLEY (2024), the documentary LUMUMBA: THE DEATH OF A PROPHET (2000), as well as Kurosawa's KAGEMUSHA (1980), Apple Plus' SLOW HORSES, and the original KING KONG. Lot's of good stuff.

EPISODE #414-- Just in time to commemorate the 159th anniversary of the ending of the American Civil War, we have Edward Zwick's GLORY from 1989. Staring Morgan Freeman, Matthew Broderick, Andre Braugher (RIP), and Denzel Washington, Glory tells the story of the first African-American regiment raised in the United States of America. It's great. One of the all-timers. Check it out and come back. We'll be waiting. Also: Happy Black History Month. Sorry for the delay. Real weird start of the year for us on the show.
We also talk about LADY SNOWBLOOD (1971), Guilermo del Toro's PACIFIC RIM (2013), SAMURAI I: MIYAMOTO MUSASHI (1954), Johnathan Glazer's SEXY BEAST (2000), and Kurosawa's HIGH AND LOW (1963). Lotta great films this episode.
No, but, really. Weird start of the year. It'd like to say it'll be normal after this, but well. . .

EPISODE #413-- We get into the grittier end of the 1990's with the neo-noir classic from Bill Duke DEEP COVER (1992). A good episode, a big episode, and the right movie to belatedly celebrate Black History Month. Hell of a film, folks. Hell of a film.
We also talk about Wim Wenders' PERFECT DAYS (2023), Villenueve's DUNE PART II (2024), PAST LIVES (2023), Kurosawa's SANSHIRO SUGATA (1943), Lanthimos' POOR THINGS (2032), and Honda's RODAN (1956), and (deep breath, we're almost there), we talk about TV's SHOGUN (2024) and the finale of MASTERS OF THE AIR (2024).

EPISODE #412-- We continue to belatedly celebrate Black History Month with the concert film HAIL! HAIL! ROCK 'N' ROLL from 1987, staring none other than the king of rock and roll himself, Chuck Berry.
We also talk Johnathan Glazer's THE ZONE OF INTEREST (2023), Akira Kurosawa's SANJURO (1962), Alfred Hitchcock's SPELLBOUND (1948), as well as CADILLAC RECORDS (2008), DRUNKEN ANGEL (1948), and the latest version of SHOGUN (2024) on Hulu. It's a good batch.

EPISODE #411-- We return to the 80's to celebrate a life and to commemorate Black History Month (sorry for the delay) with the pulpy actioner ACTION JACKSON (1988) from Craig R. Baxley. Importantly, though, RIP to the lengend himself, Carl Weathers (1948 - 2024). It's a good one, come listen.
We also talk about RAN (1985) from Akira Kurosawa, as well as Kelly Reichardt's FIRST COW (2019), Vittorio di Sica's THE BICYCLE THIEVES (1948), and Paul Thomas Anderson's HARD EIGHT (1997). A good little group of films.

EPISODE #410-- Cruz, fresh from the sawbones is back and ready to tackle maybe the worst dystopian sports movie the 1970's has to offer. That's right, we take on Norman Jewison's ROLLERBALL (1975).
We also handle Amazon's latest season of REACHER, Apple's MASTERS OF THE AIR, HBO's BAND OF BROTHERS, as well as Kurosawa's NO REGRETS FOR OUR YOUTH (1946), ZATOICHI: THE BLIND SWORDSMAN (1972), THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123 (1974), and ROCKY (1976). Lot of war. Lot of the 1970's.

EPISODE #409-- Guest star Alexis Simpson returns to talk about Albert Brooks' comedy masterpiece, DEFENDING YOUR LIFE from 1991. It stars Meryl Streep and Rip Torn. It's everything you want in a motion picture.
We also talk the IKIRU remake LIVING (2022), Netflix's THE KEEPERS, and Akira Kurosawa's underrated Russian production, DERSU UZALA (1975). A good week for good movies.

EPISODE #407-- We delve back into the sea of cr*p with Irwin Allen's lifeless disaster movie THE SWARM (1978). It's got Michael Caine yelling about bees. Trust me, the episode is much better than the movie they put out. Yeesh, what a stinker. . .
Anyways, we also talk about KING KONG VERSUS GODZILLA (1962), as well as SEVEN SAMURAI (1954), MERRY CHRISTMAS, MR. LAWRENCE (1985), and GODZILLA VERSUS MECHAGODZILLA 2. All of those are much superior to THE SWARM. Seriously, don't watch it.
