Feb 16, 2022•1 hr 10 min•Transcript available on Metacast Get Out is Jordan Peele's big-screen writing and directorial debut and it works remarkably well. His comedic chops transfer seamlessly to the socially-conscious horror genre. So well in fact, that he actually won an academy award for the screenplay.

Feb 09, 2022•1 hr 3 min•Transcript available on Metacast Deep Water is a British documentary about a boat race in the late 1960s so maybe you can understand why I thought this pick from commissioner Aaron might be a little dry. I expected a lot of coxswain this, and bosun that. Thankfully, it turned out to be nothing like I expected.

If you enjoy watching rich and powerful people con the less fortunate out of their cash and initiate young, hungry, impressionable kids into their cult-like business culture, you’ll love this week’s prestige podcast.

Feb 02, 2022•2 hr 37 min•Transcript available on Metacast What do you say about a movie that's better the first time around but is a little confusing even on subsequent watches, requires multiple trigger warnings, and seems to want to end about 45 minutes before the runtime expires?

Jan 19, 2022•1 hr 1 min•Transcript available on Metacast Moonstruck stars Cher as a cursed widow and Nicolas Cage as a handless breadmaker who become completely “moonstruck” with each other. In fact, everyone in this movie is “moonstruck”. Their parents are "moonstruck", their brothers are "moonstruck", the uncles and aunts, even the dogs.

Jan 13, 2022•1 hr•Transcript available on Metacast Last year we checked out the 1961 classic Paul Newman film, “The Hustler”. This week we’re looking at the sequel, 1986’s the Color of Money.

Jan 05, 2022•1 hr 13 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week's Prestige podcast skirts the edge of what you can reasonably claim to be "prestige",Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. That’s right, Kevin Costner battles Alan Rickman and an English accent with the help of Morgan Freeman in this film that can’t decide if it wants to be a grim and gritty retelling or a campy romp through the classic legend.

Dec 21, 2021•1 hr 24 min•Transcript available on Metacast Ah jeeze, for prestige this week we’re talking Fargo. Now that’s the 1996 cinematic version doncha know.

Dec 15, 2021•1 hr 5 min•Transcript available on Metacast Today we’ve got Witness, the 1985 Harrison Ford-led visual guide to becoming Amish. In truth, it’s a romance film clad in suspenders, a milking hat, and the trappings of a noir thriller. The podcast was a lot of fun to record and hopefully just as much fun to listen to, especially if you want to hear about A.Ron's father’s irrational dread of grain entrapment.

Dec 08, 2021•1 hr 12 min•Transcript available on Metacast The French Connection, starring Gene Hackman as a narcotics officer playing a hunch to stop an international drug buy, is a classic for its kinetic chase scenes, not necessarily for its well-realized characters or compelling plot.

Nov 24, 2021•54 min•Transcript available on Metacast Moonlight is a simple movie about a simple tale of an incredibly complex time in a young boy's life. It won several Academy awards the year it was released and, we think, for good reason.

Oct 27, 2021•1 hr 4 min•Transcript available on Metacast There's almost certainly nothing left to say about a 60+ year old movie from the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, but that won't stop us from saying our piece.

Oct 20, 2021•1 hr 15 min•Transcript available on Metacast Oh boy… What can I say about this week’s big anniversary that won’t piss off the general public who apparently respects and admires the works of David Lynch? Well, I can say that we’re re-releasing our podcast on Mulholland Drive for its 20th anniversary. I can also say that the opinions expressed in the podcast are now 5 years old and I’ve seen exactly 1 David Lynch movie that I’ve enjoyed in that time. But hey, A.Ron's here too, and he loved it. From the weird dumpster monsters to the strange ...
Oct 19, 2021•1 hr 19 min•Transcript available on Metacast It's the 20th anniversary of Training Day and while we had no fewer than 3 big anniversaries this week, we managed to get to them all in due time. This is the only role that Denzel Washington has won an academy award in a leading role for, which seems crazy, I know! But it's pretty well-deserved as he and Ethan Hawke carry this movie. Without either of these performances, the movie wouldn't work. Join us for the podcast to hear our thoughts on this early 2000s dirty cop drama. Check out https://...
Oct 11, 2021•1 hr 2 min•Transcript available on Metacast The Many Saints of Newark exists as several movies in one, trying to be something more than just a Sopranos prequel, and ultimately doesn't excel at anything except casting. If you're a die-hard fan of The Sopranos, you'll definitely want to check it out, as it sheds new light on the events and relationships of the series. If you're a fan of gangster movies, you might want to check it out after you've watched all of the many other, much better gangster movies. If you're neither, why are you even...
Oct 07, 2021•24 min•Transcript available on Metacast It’s the 25th anniversary of That Thing You Do! It’s a whirlwind movie about the rise and fall of a fake 1950s pop band that popped right out of the Beatles mold. A bunch of young 90s names including Liv Tyler, Steve Zahn, Tom Everett Scott, and Charlize Theron are all wrangled by a very serious, but likeable Tom Hanks. We both love this movie and it’s a ton of fun so check out the podcast. Check out https://support.baldmove.com/ to find out how you can gain access to ALL of our premium content,...
Oct 04, 2021•1 hr 4 min•Transcript available on Metacast The Departed is one of the Scorsese movies that A.Ron and I most overlooked on first viewing. I had some inkling that it was good, but I couldn't say why. After watching it 15 years later, we both got it. There's a complex game of cat and mouse hidden under all those Boston accents and, despite clocking in at over 2.5 hours, it maintains the tension throughout.

Sep 21, 2021•1 hr 22 min•Transcript available on Metacast If you've seen it, you probably understand why we categorize 2001: A Space Odyssey as a prestige film. Yes, it takes place almost entirely in space. Yes, it has spaceships and aliens and wormholes. But it’s just so dang good that it deserves better than to be lumped in with the likes of pulpier sci-fi, like, say, an Armageddon. Thanks to Dr. John for commissioning this podcast on one of Stanley Kubrick's most celebrated films. We hope you enjoy. You can get your very own custom commissioned podc...
Sep 21, 2021•2 hr 37 min•Transcript available on Metacast It's been 10 years since Drive hit theaters and boosted the vaporwave aesthetic into the mainstream with its art and soundtrack.

Sep 13, 2021•1 hr 3 min•Transcript available on Metacast Brokeback Mountain is a movie that received a lot of attention, both from critics and the media, when it came out in 2005. That was likely just due just as much to it being a movie about two men in love that treated it like any other star-crossed relationship as it was the incredible performances of everyone involved, but specifically the lead actors.

Aug 31, 2021•1 hr 11 min•Transcript available on Metacast A big thank you to Dr. DeVito for commissioning Southpaw, the 2015 boxing movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a Raging Bull-type who just can’t get out of his own way while recovering from a traumatic accident. If you’ve seen any boxing movie ever made, you’ve seen some portion of this movie, as it borrows every trope you can think of. It does manage to deliver the emotional punches though, due mostly to the excellent cast. You can get your very own custom commissioned podcast by visiting https://...
