Dave and Alonso say "Make mine music!" OK, they don't, but they do discuss ape raves, movie soundtracks, candy-colored pop princesses and a movie named for a Leonard Cohen song.

Dave and Alonso discuss blackface Judy Garland, vegan pancakes, unintelligible songs from gay Danish movies, crispy chicken, fresh lettuce, three cheeses, ranch dressing, all wrapped in a tasty flour tortilla. Also, discussion of whether or not Dave is an idiot for liking the atrocious new Adam Sandler movie, listener Top Ten lists and another chapter of "Play-Mate of the Apes."
Dave and Alonso are back, with Broadway adventures, baked goods (no eating during the show, we promise) and arguments about music. And Dave begins an ongoing series in which he relates the plot of the softcore "Play-Mate of the Apes." In a clean-podcast kind of way.
Chris Gore of ATTACK OF THE SHOW and PODCRASH WITH THAT CHRIS GORE sits in for Dave this week, and he and Alonso discuss random usage of British accents, a quick history of indie cinema and what WEST SIDE STORY and STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE have in common besides Robert Wise. Follow Chris @thatchrisgore and at chrisgore.com
Alonso Duralde's out of town and Dave White's forced to turn to William Bibbiani of CraveOnline and The B-Movies Podcast for co-hosting assistance. Dave finally closes out his Robert Bresson pilgrimage, Bibbs discovers the power of Helen Slater's tiny tank top, and Men in Black 3 proves divisive. Sure, it's mediocre... but is it mediocre enough? They also gush about Wes Anderson's latest and ponder the crapitude of Chernobyl Diaries and France's answer to the cinematic career of Chris Columbus, ...
Dave is still on his Bresson kick, Alonso shares another John Hughes memory, and both of them find BATTLESHIP to be entertaining if still a piece of crap. Like us on Facebook, check into the show at GetGlue.com, follow us at Twitter @linoleumcast and drop us a line at linoleumpodcast@gmail.com
This week, Dave is very fancy while Alonso sees vintage rollerblading movies. But they both love it when Richard Linklater stays in Texas and think Bobcat Goldthwait is aiming at the wrong targets. Oh, and get it together, Tim Burton.
Dave and Alonso are joined by Alonso's college pal (and comics enabler) film critic Curt Holman @curt_holman to talk about Joss Whedon's super-team hit. Find out Alonso and Dave's funeral wishes, which one of them is a Nigella Lawson fanboy, and why The Avengers are like #Occupy
Alonso analyzes the mechanics of getting "the nod" from hip indie record-store clerks, while Dave laments the passing of Sara Lee cheesecake bites and NBC's "Providence" (in tandem) before praising TORQUE again.
Dave and Alonso disagree about the Three Stooges (but not about the new movie of the same name) and try to figure out just what a "fanboy movie" is and why the general public seems not to like them. And Alonso sees his first Béla Tarr movie. Like us on Facebook, follow our show on Twitter @linoleumcast
Special guests Grae Drake and Drew Droege join Alonso and Dave on Easter to discuss new movies; this is probably the only podcast you'll hear this week to reference "The Apple," Jodorowsky, "Taradise," Céilne Dion, Guy Maddin, Béla Tarr and "Josie and the Pussycats." P.S. The audio levels are all over the place. Sorry.
Alonso and guest host Matt Atchity of Rotten Tomatoes (aka "Fat Beardo 1" & "Fat Beardo 2" to some What the Flick?! viewers) talk about the death of regional film criticism (in print, anyway) and the ongoing problems with the MPAA ratings system when not actually discussing this week's new movies. Follow Matt @MAtchity on Twitter.
Dave's shocking revelations about his childhood flirtation with showtunes shock Alonso, and they eventually talk about the week's new movies after a long digression involving Christian Marclay's 24-hour film "The Clock."
Dave's excited over his new headphones, while Alonso goes down a rabbit-hole of TV nostalgia. All this, plus brioche, Hokeys and cinemaniacs.
So many movies this week, but Dave and Alonso still find time to talk about Doomsday Preppers, the Adam Scott/Hellraiser connection, and the eternal mystery that is Loretta aka Chiffon.
Dave and Alonso endure the longest opening theme song ever, debate the relative merits of 1982 vs. 1984 summer movies, and disagree over the meaning of the word "free-wheeling."
Dave and Alonso want everyone to start behaving themselves in movie theaters, even though that seems to be a totally lost cause. They also have plenty to say about the forward momentum of Tyler Perry as a director and are much less interested in rehashing this year's Oscar show.
Dave and Alonso are kind of bummed this week, because if you can't trust Nicolas Cage and the guys behind "Crank" to make an interesting movie about a flaming skeleton who rides a motorcycle, what's the point?
Dave and Alonso get side-tracked from this week movies and discuss Glitter and Sissy Spacek and Whitney Houston and Mary Kay Place and then somehow Glitter again. But they also review ths week's new movies. Except for Star Wars Episode I in 3-D, because seriously who cares.
TV star and sassy lady Christy Lemire joins Alonso for mimosas and Madonna, and discussions of haunted-house movies and 1980s sex romps. Follow her on Twitter: @christylemire
Dave and Alonso are sort of perplexed by the careers of Katherine Heigl and Sam Worthington. Liam Neeson, on the other hand, totally gets a pass, as do movies full of references to the French New Wave.
Alonso's back from Park City, so this slightly tardy episode features his favorite films from the Sundance Film Festival, along with Dave's pick of good and bad action movies with female leads, and a documentary that's almost entirely about breasteses.
Dave and Alonso are rendered almost speechless by the cruddiness of most of this week's movies, all the better to leave time to talk about lady doctors, Swinging London, and the intricacies of the "Petticoat Junction" theme song.
Dave and Alonso took a few weeks off, what with the holidays and their cars getting blown up by the LA Arsonist. So now they return with quick reviews of about a dozen movies plus tales of true crime.
It's Dave and Alonso's 50th episode, and the president has initiated ghost protocol. So they've got lots to say about Agnes Moorehead, Joan Didion, a certain church with a lot of L.A. real estate, macarons and the banning of the word "bromance." Happy Holidays!
Dave White and guest co-host Grae Drake of the Popcorn Mafia discuss what Dave does while Alonso is away, what they assume happens on a TCM cruise, and what the week's releases have in store for the holiday masses.
Dave and Alonso review the week's small movies that are the week's big movies, but they also cover pressing topics like hot-water bottles, Japanese pronunciation, and nostalgia for Steak & Ale.
Seven new movies this week, but Dave and Alonso still find time to come up with career suggestions for Martin Scorsese (involving an army of child film-preservation enthusiasts) and Jason Segel. They might mention Alonso's Christmas book a time or two as well. http://amzn.to/b444F8
