The Cusack Cult Cast

This is it, the game show of Lucas purposely embarrassing Dylan and his encyclopedic knowledge of John's career. He was tired, and misled, so don't hold this performance against him. He will do his h…

Adam (@strugglinguncle) is back, how 'bout that? We talk about the odd, but effective mix of mockumentary and comedy in Tim Robbins' written/directorial debut, Bob Roberts (1992). 

Somehow both clair…

"Your life is a fairytale. Everything happens for a reason." This ultimate message of the 90s is embodied in the 1992 film, Map of the Human Heart (Directed by Vincent Ward). Lucas and Dylan discuss …

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…

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 watc…

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 …

By Far, this was the most fun the Cusack cute boys have had watching a movie during this odyssey. With incredible competing performances by James Spader and John Cusack, we are gifted with John's mos…

It is inevitable that we will have the entire Fisher family on at this point. This week, we have Jake's doppelganger, Noah. Noah is a very talented artist in his own right, and we just want to drop a…

He's back, and you never asked for it. Adam Hales (@strugglinguncle) joins us again to discuss the incredibly bewildering moral tale of the creation of the atomic bomb.

Yes, this movie wants you to f…

Were you waiting for this? We hope not.

Lucas and Dylan talk about their relationships and experiences growing up, and how they can relate to possibly John's biggest movie, Say Anything (Directed by …

To discuss the most American past time we have brought our first foreign correspondent and friend, Pierre (@disc0p on Twitter).

Pierre, a brilliant mind and magnificent poster, helps drag us across t…

Our producer, Jake, has come on the show to monitor us and make sure we are operating at full capacity when we detail the 1988 film Tapeheads, a buddy comedy starring our favorite actor and his close…

Broadcast News (1987), directed by James L. Brooks, was a genuinely great movie. If you were looking for an episode where we don't completely hate the outcome, this is the one. Also, this is a specia…

We have the esteemed James Trevor (@jamesrtrevor) on the show this week, and it's a real treat (an ice cream treat). Please give our boy a follow.

We dive into the mindset behind the mess that is Hot…

Another Savage Steve Holland film, and another lovely experience. 

Lucas and Dylan recount how he somehow struck gold twice, and laud the performances of the film's ensemble cast. The film has deeper…

Truly a miserable experience. We watch our final Rob Reiner film (hopefully), and complain about its navel gazing, and its falsified view of the 1950s.

Never has a movie seemed more fake, more flacci…

Well, you asked for it. The old crew is back together. Dylan isn't happy about it, but here it is.

Forced to watch The Journey Of Natty Gann (1985), Tyler Cartwright and Adam Hales join us as we reve…

It's the first movie we recommend.

Did you appreciate Dylan's joke?

Better Off Dead, directed by maybe-visionary Savage Steve Holland, charmed us with its surreal, bad-dream world and a chaotic perfo…

Finally, a starring role. John carries this aggressively mediocre movie on his back, The Sure Thing, directed by the luminary of rote neoliberalism in film, Rob Reiner.

Despite the container, John ha…

A hidden gem? Well, not exactly.

Lucas and Dylan talk about Grandview USA (1984), directed by Randal Kleiser (who later went on to direct Grease). They confess their love for the demolition derby god…
