Long live the new flesh! We watch the David Cronenberg body-horror cult classic where people put Betamax tapes in their tummies, and compare it to the brilliantly entertaining fail-son action film, Samurai Cop. Both of these movies are a lot of fun for different reasons, and both get the Bob L'Heureux Seal of Approval. Go forth and watch, Kanines! We also talk about the golden age of CRT TVs, the Rudy Giuliani biopic, and also have a little chat about the Canadian film industry. Find us on Twitt...

Sad people in outer space and bald guys fighting dragons! 2002 was a wild year for film. We cover the Steven Soderbergh remake of Solaris, not the Tarkovsky original in this episode. So if you are a Tarkovsky-head, this episode ain't for you! (Actually that's not true, we talk about the original quite a bit). And Reign of Fire is hilarious because it takes place in a dark and scary 2020 - however, I think if I had my choice, I'd take the dragons! But that's just me. In the back nine of the episo...

Hello there! We bring back special guest Julia Grochowski to talk about two films: Bong Joon-Ho's scathing dark comedy masterpiece about late stage capitalism, Parasite, and George Lucas's Jar Jar Binks vehicle, Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Julia is not only a dyed-in-the-wool cinephile, but she ALSO has a Wookiepedic knowledge of all things Star Wars, so she is the perfect guest to get down to brass tacks about the prequel trilogy and how it is the same movie as the recent historic...

Over the last few months, Bob watched all the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (AKA MCU), in narrative order. Mike has only seen a couple of them, and so he interviews Bob about the experience. It happens in the backyard, with beers. It's a lot of fun! We also talk about celebrity bands, the Jeremy Renner app, video essays about movies on YouTube, and we also improvise our own theme songs to some popular movies.

In this epic epi, we take a break from finding similarities and instead break down the differences between two films. Two films with the same name, the same script, the same shot list, the same locations, the list goes on and on. It's the horror classic from Alfred Hitchcock (aka "The Cock"), Psycho, and the shot for shot remake of said classic, the not-so-classic "film experiment" by Gus Van Sant, also called Psycho (duh!). This was a super fun episode to do a deep dive on... a deep dive on all...

We're back after a week's hiatus with this, our 53rd (!) episode. In this one, we are talking about a stone-cold film school classic, the often imitated but never replicated, 28-minute French New Wave sci-fi classic La Jetee! It's the film that inspired 12 Monkeys (as in, it inspired the Terry Gilliam movie, not just, like, a dozen monkeys were inspired. Come on man.) Also, in an unprecedented turn for the dull, we talk about a recent "rom-com" called Wild Mountain Thyme, a recent film that has ...

In our latest epi, we're talkin' 'bout the latest feature films from ya boi Yorgy and and ya gurl Patty, the darkly hilarious The Favourite and the unbelievably bad Wonder Woman 1984, respectively. They are two period pieces about lonely people thirstin' for power wearing silly costumes. As we say, "it's our most chaotic episode yet!" *WINK* We also talk about steak, weed, tumbling, and of course, Jar Jar Binks.

In this episode we tackle the 45-minute Buster Keaton silent film masterpiece Sherlock Jr., and find that it contains a lot of the same elements as the terribly misguided sequel Sex and the City 2, a film that finds the fashionable foursome at their culturally insenstive worst in Abu Dhabi of all places. Sherlock Jr. is an amazing film - that you can watch free on YouTube - but we find that we can't turn away from discussing the trainwreck that is SatC2 (a.k.a. "Deucey-Sex"). We also get distrac...

It's our 50th episode! Wow! What a milestone! And we're back with another 2020 best picture nominee, The Sound of Metal, a film Mike and Bob both thought was great and deserved best picture. What didn't deserve best picture though, was the fun but trashy, nudity-filled Indonesian cult classic Lady Terminator, a straight up rip-off of the first Terminator film but... you know, the Lady version. We find that these films are the same film etc. etc. You know how it be! We also spend quite a lot of t...

We're back to our regular format after some fun anniversary episodes. This time we are tackling the recent best picture winner at the Oscars, Chloe Zhao's quasi-documentary movie about the van dwelling subculture of America, and the recent reboot of the Mortal Kombat film franchise. We share our hot takes about how Nomadland is pretty much a dramatic Borat, talk about playing the video game Mortal Kombat in the 90s, and get distracted talkin' about poopin' in a bucket. As one does. FINISH HIM! A...

This episode marks one full year of our podcast! We did it! And we couldn't have done it without all you Kanines! We look back on the year that was, and reflect on all we have accomplished on the pod. We also celebrate Citizen Kane's 80th birthday, which is the same day as our first upload! Plus, we talk about Paddington 2 overtaking Citizen Kane on Rotten Tomatoes... but we mostly talk about the Insane Clown Posse and their associated soda pop, Faygo, which leads Bob to sharing his distaste for...

We celebrate our first year of existence as a podcast by hosting an award show wherein we give awards to the movies that made us laugh, cry, snore, sigh, make pee-pee and poo-poo, etc. etc. It's a celebration of cinema - From Justin to Kane style! We give out fake awards to the movies that we watched over the last year! So no 2020 Oscar winners here! Just good and bad movies, old and new! Bob gets drunk, Mike gets annoyed, we get lost so far up our own asses in our most chaotic episode yet. Find...

In this special spin-off from our Freddy Got Fingered/Spirited Away episode, we do things a little differently. We are still talking about movies, but as they relate to the electronic artist Moby, who has quite the history with having his music featured in movies and commercials. We get into his career, talk about his licensing of music and break down a few of the films his music was featured in. We also talk about Moby Dick, vinyl collecting, Columbia Record Club, Trent Reznor, and literally an...

It's Freddy Got Fingered's 20th Anniversary! To celebrate, we spend over an hour talking about this post-modern surrealist masterpiece that is also considered one of the worst American movies ever. Mike loves FGF and Tom Green and has a lot to say about this movie, and Bob was not a fan, so it makes for an interesting and long conversation about the merits of one of the most polarizing comedies of the 21st century. Oh, and the other movie - the good movie - is Spirited Away, Hayao Miyazaki's ani...

In this episode we find that the surfing action thriller Point Break is somehow the same as Tom and Jerry: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the clumsily titled straight-to-video nostalgia mashup that no one wanted. We loved Point Break, it's a "ride". We fell asleep during the Tom and Jerry movie. It's a bore. We also talk about the new Space Jam movie, and we try and come up with our own nostalgia-driven mashup movies. It's our most existential episode ever! Find us on Twitter , Instagram and...

Part two of our epic dissection of Seven Samurai and Zack Snyder's Justice League is here. In this episode we really break down the similarities between these two films that are 3.5+ hours in length with a square aspect ratio, about a team being assembled, and are (now) both in black and white. We also play a fun little game where we figure out which Justice League member is which of the (titular) Seven Samurai.

In our quickest turnaround yet, we recorded this episode two days after the movie came out! We are, er, celebrating the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League by doing an extra long episode! So long that we split it into two episodes! But of course, we gotta stick to format, so we are saying that Zack Snyder's Justice League is the same movie as Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, one of the greatest films of all time. In this episode we riff ourselves into oblivion, and then finally get down to co...

It's our Clint Eastwood Spectacular episode where we watch one of Clint Eastwood's great films (the Oscar-winning Unforgiven) and one of his bad films (The Mule) and we find that they are the same film in many ways. If you like Clint Eastwood, this is the episode for you. Get amped, Clint stans. It's a Clint-isode! We talk about all things Clint in this episode - the films, the biography, the politics - and yet somehow the conversation turns to our boy Jar Jar Binks, as it always seems to. Find ...

America's Sweetheart, Julia Roberts, reunites with silver fox Richard Gere for an inferior film, Runaway Bride. We find that it is pretty much the same movie as the 2008 "actioner" Taken, starring Ireland's Sweetheart Liam Neeson, a movie for "basic daddies". We also talk about how great T9 texting was, we have another segment of PODBEEF where we try and start beef with other more popular podcasts, and we reveal what our particular sets of skills are. It's our 40th episode! Find us on Twitter , ...

In this episode, we are proposing that the cinematic celebration of disco dancing, Saturday Night Fever, is the same movie as the Steven Seagal crapfest, the generically-titled Attack Force. And We say this every week, but this might be the WORST movie we have watched so far. We also delve into Steven Seagal's career at large, we talk about Scientology, and Mike goes into detail about one of his best birthdays - one which ended with a serious case of gurgle-butt. It's a wild, epic episode. Find ...

Quigley (2003) is a straight-to-DVD Christian movie where Gary Busey dies in a car wreck and is cast out of heaven as a fluffy pomeranian AKA the titular Quigley. It is essentially the same movie as the classic 2007 twee teen pregnancy dramedy Juno. That's it. That's the episode. BONUS: we find out what Bob REALLY thinks of newborns. Spoiler alert!

Night's oeuvre in general and why he makes so many films about wind, and we also decide: who is better, Pacino or De Niro? This episode has got a great ass! And your head's all the way up it!

In this episode we watch the 2001 Bollywood epic Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India, a nearly 4 hour-long modern classic about the game of cricket (among other things) and compare it to the cynical cash-grab about text messages, The Emoji Movie. We loved Lagaan and hated The Emoji Movie... but what else is new? We also do a deep dive trying to figure out which dictators the Minions helped, we talk about the Burger King XBOX game Sneak King, and talk about our favorite 3D movies. Get into it Kanin...

Mike was surprised that Green Book was better than he expected, and Bob was surprised that Lawnmower Man was much much worse than he expected. We also talk about Viggo, virtual reality, The Farrelly Brothers and debate who is the best James Bond. Find us on Twitter , Instagram and Letterboxd @fromjustin2kane email us at fromjus...

We're back with yet another Orson Welles-themed episode, this time focusing on Welles' dynamic (but short-lived) appearance in the wonderful noir-comedy The Third Man. In classic form, we find that this classic of British cinema is exactly the same as 2018's yawn of a video game adaptation, Tomb Raider. We also talk about Bob's top five movie crushes, other video game adaptations, and we venture into the bizarre world of online Sonic the Hedgehog fandom. Strap in Kanines, it gets weird! Find us ...

We're back to our usual format and this week we are comparing two titans of their medium: the Beatles and Christopher Nolan. We take on the flippin' Beatles' bizarre day-in-the-life masterpiece Hard Day's Night and we find that it is very similar to Chris Nolan's epic misfire Tenet, a film so nice you have to see it twice (to understand it at all). Mike didn't understand the movie, but Bob somehow did and so he breaks it down for the Kanines. We also delve into Nolan's filmography, and talk abou...

Happy New Year, Kanines! Mike and Bob take a break from talking about movies and spend an entire epi talking about video games. We find that The Last of Us - the "Citizen Kane of video games" (not our words) - is the same as one of the worst games ever made, the famously terrible Superman 64. We also discuss what unlikely movies and TV shows would make interesting games, we talk about Bob's newfound love of Halo, and we talk about why people have lower standards for storytelling in video games, ...
