Nov 18, 2020•1 hr 19 min•Transcript available on Metacast This might be the last time they let street guys like us handle any podcasts this valuable. We've had a good run of Scorsese films this year (Goodfellas, The Irishman, The Wolf of Wall Street) but there's only so much gas is in the Scorsese tank. We canceled our Raging Bull 40th anniversary podcast because we just couldn't fit it in. Jim's pumping the breaks on reviewing any more gangster films in the near future. Are we running out of steam? Getting sloppy? I sure hope not because that's when y...
Nov 12, 2020•1 hr 22 min•Transcript available on Metacast There's an ironic quality to the name of this episode, The Nadir, given that the previous two episodes were our least favorite of the season. This episode is a return to form with some excellent Raylan Gi-- er, Marshal Deafy scenes, a lot more action in the gang war, and trouble all around for nurse Mayflower.

Nov 10, 2020•1 hr 17 min•Transcript available on Metacast Another connective episode that has been chopped and screwed from other episodes into its final form leaves us not dissatisfied, but not exactly blown away either. We hear good things about the remainder of the season though, so the pace should pick up from here on out.

Oct 28, 2020•1 hr 1 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week's episode feels a little disjointed, probably for good reason, and we decide to take the opportunity to get some things about this season of Fargo off our chests.

Oct 27, 2020•1 hr 27 min•Transcript available on Metacast Wait a sec, I thought this movie was called "Leon the Professional"? Well, apparently that's only true if you're in France. In America, it's just called "The Professional," while in the UK and Australia they get to call it just "Leon." Luckily, the actual movie is far less fickle, and far less horny toward it's preteen protagonist depending, again, on where you live.

We covered his latest one, The Irishman, already but now we're going back to cover his most famous one.

Aug 26, 2020•1 hr 4 min•Transcript available on Metacast After directing The Witch, one of the most unsettling horror movies of the last decade Robert Eggers has done it again with The Lighthouse, a film that defies description. Willem Defoe and Robert Pattinson both deliver astounding performances in this largely underrated tale about two lighthouse attendants ("wickies") who have to make the best of a bad situation.

Aug 12, 2020•55 min•Transcript available on Metacast Today we're talking 1961's The Hustler, which might just be the greatest movie about the game of pool that has ever been made. Starring Paul Newman, Piper Laurie, and George C. Scott, it's a tale of an up-and-coming pool hustler trying to make it big but, more importantly, it's the story of a man trying to figure out what makes a person a "winner".

Jul 02, 2020•1 hr 2 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week we take a look at Ryan Coogler's first feature film, Fruitvale Station, about the 2009 murder of Oscar Grant. It is competently directed by Coogler but the impeccable performances by recognizable names such as Octavia Spencer and Michael B. Jordan, as well as its tragically-evergreen relevance, are what really make the film a must-see.

Jun 03, 2020•59 min•Transcript available on Metacast The Talented Mr. Ripley is a name for a film that only appeals to grandmothers above a certain age. And more specifically, English ones.
