Ep. 300 – Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

EyesWideShut_poster

Episode 300: The Crew’s renting their masks and capes for the cult orgy while watching Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. The film was called an erotic thriller when it was released, but the sex isn’t sexy and the thriller/suspense plot isn’t resolved… which is the point. Real life couple at the time, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman caused quite the publicity storm when cast. The nudity and orgy scenes were built up to legendary proportions, but today look pretty tame. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 299 – Body Heat (1981)

Episode 299: The Crew’s disturbed by the clown driving around Miami while watching Lawrence Kasdan’s Body Heat. William Hurt and Kathleen Turner became stars with their seedy lawyer and femme fatale performances. And Kasdan comes out of the gate strong with his directorial debut, after writing some of the biggest blockbusters of the early 80’s. John Barry’s score is great and the cinematography has a nice 40’s noir feel. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 298 – Basic Instinct (1992)

Episode 298: The Crew’s sharpening their ice picks while watching Paul Verhoeven’s Basic Instinct. This steamy thriller was a huge box-office hit in 1992…. everyone was talking about the vagina shot and all the sex scenes. But the sex scenes build suspense, cause when people do it, they get stabbed in the face with an ice pick. Sharon Stone steals every scene and redefines the role of a femme fatale. Jerry Goldsmith’s pitch perfect score and the editing got Oscar nominations. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 297 – Dressed to Kill (1980)

Dressed2Kill_poster

Episode 297: The Crew’s wearing their best sexy nurse outfits while watching Brian De Palma’s Dressed to Kill. Put your Hitchcock comparisons aside and marvel at one the 80’s best erotic thrillers (or slasher film – it’s a fine line here). De Palma makes good use of his trademark visuals, adding splitscreens and split diopters to help sell the suspense and tell the story visually. There’s a 6 minute museum seduction sequence that holds your attention without a single line of dialogue spoken. The Crew discusses…

And was a huge box-office success that exploded all over pop culture. The performances, the cinematography, and the editing are picture perfect. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 295 – eXistenZ (1999)

eXistenZ_Poster

Episode 295: The Crew’s licking each others bio-ports while watching David Cronenberg’s eXistenZ. This $15 million production was a box-office bomb, grossing less than $3 million. The film was released 4 weeks after The Matrix, and while both films share similar themes, The Matrix was a lot more crowd-pleasing. Regardless of money, Cronenberg milks this concept for every weird body horror moment. Music and Production Design are excellent! The Crew discusses…

Ep. 294 – Heat (1995)

Heat_poster

Episode 294: The Crew’s so impressed with Michael Mann’s Heat. Writer/Director Mann got Al Pacino and Robert De Niro to face off in an explosive cops & robbers heist film. And while the mid-film shootout is a highlight, it’s the character moments that make this simple plot carry so much emotional weight. Every actor gets their moment and does a phenomenal job. The cinematography, music, sound effects, editing, and production design are all top-notch. Buckle up as we discuss this masterpiece of cinema!

Clerks_poster

Episode 293: The Crew’s searching for the perfect dozen while watching Kevin Smith’s Clerks. This was the 90’s indie that launched Kevin Smith’s career and a universe of characters and sequels. The film has loads of low budget issues but the audience and critics overlook all of them; instead focusing on the fantastic dialogue and relatable comedic situations. Listen to the Crew discuss this indie landmark.

Ep. 292 – Matinee (1993)

Episode 292: The Crew’s wishing Atomo-vision with Rumble-rama existed while watching Joe Dante’s Matinee. John Goodman is great as director/producer Lawrence Woolsey (an Alfred Hitchcock / William Castle composite character). This film infects you with the love of 50’s sci-fi films. And apparently toilet paper was a panic-buy even in 1962. The Crew discusses…
