Hunger
Welcome to McQueeners! Our special series kicks off with Steve McQueen's 2008 directorial debut Hunger. Starring Michael Fassbender, this is not an easy film to talk about. We tread lightly, but it's…
Walk Hard PLUS The Woodsman
EPISODE 30! Look at us now, we've really done it. For this watershed episode we are giving you WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY (2007) with an accidental sidebar delving into THE WOODSMAN (2004). The W…
Under the Skin
Scarlett Johansson is naked for about 60% of this movie and neither one of us even remembered. What we did remember was when her character lured an unsuspecting man into her void-like spacecraft and …
The Card Counter
Part four and the end of Schrader-thon. Yeah, I know, I can sense your disappointment. But unlike our last episode, where the film was like crawling through broken glass, Schrader's THE CARD COUNTER …
The Canyons
Part three of Schrader-thon... Uh... Yay! This film was rather divisive. Sometimes Laura defends films against Ryan's wrath for the sake of defending it, seeing what modicum of value it holds, like i…
Cat People
Part two of Schrader-thon! It wasn't deliberate BUT, the quality takes a bit of a knock the further we go on. Like life, it is full of peaks and troughs, ebbs and flows and Malcolm McDowell. There's …
American Gigolo
Part one of Schrader-thon is here!
Exploring the filmography of Paul Schrader has been an absolute treat and we're starting this series off with a bang! We both really liked this one.
American Gigolo (…
Come to Daddy
This titular Daddy attempts to do some really awful things to his son at one point while being in a state of consistent inebriation. Maybe he grabbed the knife to try and give his son a more agreeabl…
Get Rich or Die Tryin'
There's only way to make money in this world. There's no excuses according to this movie. This is THE only way to make money. Or die in the process of doing so. Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's acting debu…
Can't Stop the Music
Hoot-a-minute this is not, painfully, bewilderingly silent this is. But all is forgiven when the 4 (?) musical numbers grace us with their presence. Let's just say, CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC is a product …
Oscars 2022
We're not super impressed with the Oscars this year and we explain why. Laura, personally, loves a bit of glamour and fanfare, but this year was, all-in-all, a total disaster. Don't even mention Amy …
Fortress
Ryan makes the claim that this might be one of the best films we'll ever cover on the podcast. This is without remembering that we covered TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA in our infancy and still have GONE GIR…
The Last Duel
Full disclosure... Ryan loves Ridley Scott but he's well aware of the some times sporadic quality of his work. Some times it's great. Some times it's not. In this case, it's not great. It's also note…
Jackass: The Movie - Forever .5 (w/ Josh Martin)
In the spirit of JACKASS releasing a supplementary feature film to accompany the mainline entry as a .5 we've done the exact same. We recorded with Josh for over 2 and half hours so here's the stuff …
Jackass: The Movie - Forever (w/ Josh Martin)
WARNING!
The stunts in this movie were performed by professionals, so for your safety and the protection of those around you, do not attempt any of the stunts you are about to see.
Luckily, this is a…
The Crying Game
Ryan is slowly realizing that we cover plenty of films he enjoys and rates quite highly. Continuing with that streak, we look at Neil Jordan's THE CRYING GAME, starring Stephen Rea, Jay Davison, Mira…
A Room With a View (w/ Miriam Ruckert)
A Room With a View (1985), directed by James Ivory, has not just one, but THREE penises in it. Also, so many balls. Join us as we welcome our first guest, a friend of the podcast: Miriam Ruckert. The…
The Terminator
The Terminator (1984), our 2nd film of 2022! We get to break down Arnold Schwarzenegger's only full-frontal nude scene, but it's just an excuse for us to chat about The Terminator, which is obviously…
Red Rocket
Red Rocket (2021) was such a great film to go see in the cinema. We urge you to go check it out if it's playing in a theatre near you, as long as you feel safe. Did you hear? Simon Rex is BACK. He's …
Wild Things
Wild Things (1998) is a film that we couldn't wait to record. This film has a legacy that precedes itself. The best part is...Ryan had never seen this film. Can you believe it?
