War Machine Vs. War Horse

If you have a buck instead of a book... we read so you don't have to. Even MORE practical knowledge is gained by reading Quentin Tarantino's Cinema Speculation: if you are Clint Eastwood all you need is an accordion and some paper mache to break out of Alcatraz. And some other things too. What you don't need is one host being a killjoy. Did we mention that Mr. Eastwood is nude in the opening sequence of this film. QT does. We might as well respect the author and auteur's wishes and mention that in these lowly show notes. Enjoy! Enjoy and keep reading along with us from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

The Third Part in our Obsessed Behind the Wheel Trilogy We pat ourselves on the back for going with international cinema in our finale for this trilogy on drivers instead of THE OBVIOUS CHOICE of Mel Gibson in the Richer Donner classic CONSPIRACY THEORY. Look this is no PACIFIC HEIGHTS starring Michael Keaton episode. This one has crying! And driving! And then more crying! Also something called UNCLE VANYA. Enjoy!

If you have a buck instead of a book... we read so you don't have to. Finally some practical knowledge is gained by reading Quentin Tarantino's Cinema Speculation: if you need a man you can count on in a brothel, Tommy Lee Jones is your guy. QT calls this the greatest combination of character study and action movie ever made and we try to keep up with his praise by praising a film where a man can't stand his wife and child. But more than that he can't stand someone taking away his wife and child... that he can't stand. Enjoy! Enjoy and keep reading along with us from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

The Second Part in our Obsession Behind the Wheel Trilogy We get behind the wheel for the first time (!!) with a John Carpenter flick in the Stephen King film adaptation of CHRISTINE. One host is revisiting a favorite of his youth while his co-host was horrified at a small dorky teenager making out with a tall beautiful woman and in turn getting his best friend hurt during a football game. With good reason. This movie is truly a horrifying NEVER BEEN KISSED. Enjoy! We hope you join us by supporting our Patreon Movie Book Club episodes and not deciding to read!

The First Part in our Obsession Behind the Wheel Trilogy We tackle one of the Mt. Rushmore of college dorm room poster movies by throwing a book at those dumb kids for our episode on TAXI DRIVER. Cinema Speculation by Quentin Tarantino to be precise as this is a FULL episode of what we've been covering all year long on our Patreon page. So... welcome all you cheapskates! But also please keep subscribing. Please. Is Travis Bickle an antihero like Wolverine (#TheMarvels) or just a big old dork?

If you have a buck instead of a book... we read so you don't have to. We resume our reading of Quentin Tarantino's book of essays and this time it's the shortest chapter on Peter Bogdanovich's blissfully short DAISY MILLER. In keeping with the brevity of both the book and film to be discussed we have a brief chat providing a modest amount of sound and very little meaning. Will MOONLIGHTING vanquish polite society? Sure. Maybe. Does Cybill Shepherd have the same amount of moxie as Kate Winslet in THE HOLIDAY? Absolutely not. Enjoy and keep reading along with us from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

The Third Part of our Building a Better Monster Trilogy PROMETHEUS asked all the questions and answered none. So in the followup Sir Ridley Scott decided to give us some rather dumb answers. SUCH AS: Do androids desire a need for haircuts? Do mere humans need a commentary track to explain the clumsiness and pratfalls as the humans on screen fend off the Alien? And finally when did Russell from Stillwater become so trusting? We apologize for the short break but we return JUST IN TIME for Halloween with our final monster entry in this trilogy in theory!

The Second Part of our Building a Better Monster Trilogy We are back to talking Christopher Nolan joints (but still no TENET) in a dueling banjos of dorks between Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale as magicians with a grudge. And vengeance! Plenty of vengeance unlike that DiCaprio bear movie! Because this movie is fun. Perhaps the most fun we've had with one of Mr. Nolan's work though we do have some problems with what happens to Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johansson and yes, especially Ms. Coyote Ugly. Enjoy!

The First Part in our Building a Better Monster Trilogy We welcome M. Night Shyamalan's work to the TiT club with the film where it all started to go wrong for "The Next Spielberg." But you know what (show notes author's note here that nothing subtle ever followed a sentence that starts with YOU KNOW WHAT) we actually like this movie. Just go ahead and put one giant SPOILER ALERT for this episode as we discuss the dashed hopes of Ain't It Cool News posters and the parenting skills of William Hurt. But it's lovely, the romance is lovely, the cinematography is lovely and Adrien Brody is... well, it's better than THE LADY IN THE WATER! Which we promise is not coming to the podcast soon. But it will at some later date. Enjoy the love story in LARPing! We hope you join us by supporting our Patreon Movie Book Club episodes and not deciding to read!

If you have a buck instead of a book... we read so you don't have to. We try not to be a peeping tom like the hero in SISTERS (though at heart that's all we are) by throwing in a couple of extra chapters from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION. One on secondary cinema's greatest fan in Los Angeles Times film critic Kevin Thomas. Along the way one host berates the other for his terrible social media branding which is one of the many reasons (but is the MAIN one) on why neither of us will ever become Kevin Thomas. AND THEN we get to the pervy stuff of Brian De Palma! Enjoy and keep reading along with us from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

The Third Part in our Dolls in Different Worlds Trilogy What began with Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie reinventing BARBIE for the modern age ends with Jennifer Tilly domesticating a tiny ginger-haired twerp. One host sees this as a seminal work in his moviegoing journey and the other feels like his film travels must have ended in failure to get to this point. The point is that we have arrived at the much threatened BRIDE OF CHUCKY episode and our only hope is Katherine Heigl. When is it not? Enjoy!

The Second Part in our Dolls in Different Worlds Trilogy One host introduces his child to horror and the other is horrified to pay Fathom Event pricing for the re-release of CORALINE. However that's about the only thing we find scary in our lovefest for Henry Selick and Neil Gaiman's film about a girl who dares to like a bit of rain and a good supper BUT that doesn't mean she wants buttons for eyes! A simple request really. Enjoy the episode dear listeners and if you have the simple request of one host breaking gout his 3D television for a proper rewatch of CORALINE we'd be happy to accommodate. But we aren't made of Fathom money here. We hope you join us by supporting our Patreon Movie Book Club episodes and not deciding to read!

The First Part in our Dolls in Different Worlds Trilogy The second part of Barbenheimer is the first part of our trilogy playing with dolls at the movies. And before you accuse us of being creepy... EVERYONE IS DOING IT as Greta Gerwig's BARBIE will go on to reign as The Savior of Cinema (sorry, Tom Cruise.) And while we may just be a couple of Michael Ceras standing on the sidelines watching the incredible charisma of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling do their thing we can still hope that some of that wild success rubs off on this little movie podcast. But probably not. By part three we will have devolved to our natural state of BRIDE OF CHUCKY. Enjoy! We hope you join us by supporting our Patreon Movie Book Club episodes and not deciding to read!

The Third Part in our Circles of Power Trilogy What more can be said about OPPENHEIMER? Did we see it in IMAX? 70mm? No and no. Emily Blunt? She's pretty good. Matt Damon? Better role than INTERSTELLER! Florence Pugh is naked? Tastefully done! So once we handle those easy questions we wrap up our trilogy on objects of terrible power by doing what J.R.R. Tolkien could not. Tackle nuclear energy! Only as TiT can. We hope you join us by supporting our Patreon Movie Book Club episodes and not deciding to read!

The Second Part in our Circles of Power Trilogy In which one host questions why the other needs more books when he's already seen the picture show. This is but the first of insults to the fans of Middle-earth in a podcast hoping that some of those very fans give this a click or two. We apologize by attacking the attempted allegorical nature of the power of the ring as nuclear power... which we then immediately backtrack on by featuring OPPENHEIMER next week as the finale of our Trilogy in Theory!

The First Part in our Circles of Power Trilogy After 130 episodes we finally answer the burning question this little movie podcast has been building to: What happens when Jerry gets mad? And what happens when Samuel L. Jackson is really into a good book? And more importantly is Dustin Hoffman not a big believer in an honest LinkedIn profile? All of this and one host admits to rewatching the Barry Levinson adaption of Michael Crichton's SPHERE even after editing this very episode. Being a fan of this movie and this podcast is a good start to our trilogy on terrifying power. Enjoy! We hope you join us by supporting our Patreon Movie Book Club episodes and not deciding to read!

The Third Part in our Time Traveling with Dads Trilogy Given the box-office reception to THE FLASH perhaps it's appropriate that your hosts found a theme of failure to be the most fulfilling thing about this latest superhero comic book adaptation and we hope the legacy here is that it signals an end. A sweet merciful end to the capes and funny books. But until then we try to find the good in a genre of movies that gets far too much coverage. And if you feel the same maybe you could time travel back to our previous two parts of this month's trilogy and give another download to BACK TO THE FUTURE and INTERSTELLAR.

The Second Part in our Time Traveling with Dads Trilogy We apologize (though not with much enthusiasm) to director Christopher Nolan for not being in the appropriate tax bracket to appreciate his appropriately entertaining INTERSTELLAR on our far from appropriate home theater setup. HOWEVER! One host credits this film for distracting him of the ills of four years of American politics... so that's pretty good, right? It's more than TENET accomplished anyways.

The First Part in our Time Traveling with Dads Trilogy In what is perhaps the most dour episode on the all-time classic film BACK TO THE FUTURE we go over the appropriation of black culture, nostalgia for a past that didn't really exist and aging with jowls. But we love this Robert Zemeckis film! LOVE IT. We just hate ourselves apparently. And our listeners. Please rate, review and subscribe and we promise to be a bit lighter on the second part of our trilogy for... INTERSTELLAR. Maybe we'll switch it to THE DARK KNIGHT.
