Mikey And Nicky (1976) 1:22:27

1M ago1:22:27

1:22:27

There was a technical issue the night before, which forced us to rerecord this episode during the wee hours of the morning. So picture it ; the two of us sitting at our mics talking about a film with no likable characters, after Doug announces he doesn't want to talk about the movie's storied labor, while still on our first cup of coffee. To make m…

1:37:32

Happy Casimir Pulaski Day! If you don’t know what that is, you’re still invited to come celebrate it with us! Oh! We also talk about an incredible Polish film we saw. No, really. It blew our minds.

1:14:54

Mondo returns to talk about one of the greatest films in the history of cinema, The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp, produced and directed by “The Archers,” Michael Powell and Emerick Pressburger. Right out of the gate, I’ll mention that the “Let’s Franchise This, Baby” segment is one of the ages; that is to say, the film we suggest be made is one …

The Last Temptation Of Christ (1988) 1:09:21

2M ago1:09:21

1:09:21

Where to begin? Well, Devon didn’t love this movie. Her reasons are sound. But Doug loves this film…enough to come into the studio dressed as Jesus, which presented a whole other set of distractions/problems. You can see all that magic in our YouTube shorts/Tiktoks and what not… As far as the film goes, we did a deep dive into its structure, its cr…

Amelie (2001) 1:18:53

2M ago1:18:53

1:18:53

This is probably the most requested film we’ve done to date. So what can I tell you about this episode in advance? Well, I can say confidently that it will be remembered for a host of reasons -one of which is because it marks the first appearance of our special guest co-host, Mondo! Doug also kind of does a “normal” intro. I know. Also, it is the t…

The American Friend (1977) 1:26:32

3M ago1:26:32

1:26:32

Dear Diane, the world is less interesting now. First and foremost, we talked about David Lynch a little at the very end of this episode. Here’s the rub - this show was taped the night before the world learned that Lynch let death talk him into leaving us. We will address this next week but know that both of us adore Lynch’s work and were heartbroke…

The House Of Yes (1997) 52:30

3M ago52:30

52:30

The House Of Yes Oh, boy. Where to begin? Do we start at the part where this is a film about an incestuous relationship where the foreplay is a mutual reenactment of the Kennedy Assassination, or should we skip right to the “Let’s Franchise This Comma Baby!” segment, where Devon and Doug recast this movie as a musical? No, really. Doug even went as…

The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976) 1:07:27

3M ago1:07:27

1:07:27

We lost David Bowie nine years ago on January 10th - although, the world didn’t know it until the following morning. That was a hard day. I remember feeling kind of numb, while reading the deluge of little eulogies in the form of celebrity tweets that featured a rote parade of words like, “legend,” “innovator,” and “genius” etc. These were largely …

Some Like It Hot (1959) 1:10:28

4M ago1:10:28

1:10:28

Full disclosure, I almost let AI write the show notes again because no one likes doing this part. BUT a Russian listener called in and AI didn’t know what to make of that either. In fact, it printed something like, “Man explains unique dynamic of theater troupe,” which although technically true, doesn’t quite do anything about that moment justice. …

Saturday Night Fever (1977) 51:56

51:56

In the interest of not burying the lead here, this is our very first Christmas Special featuring Devon’s brother, Cody Ramone! Also, Jesus called into the show to weigh in on Saturday Night Fever. Don’t get too excited though. He dodged all the important questions. But still, he didn’t call into anyone else’s community radio program this Christmas …

A Slightly Pregnant Man (1973) 1:09:25

4M ago1:09:25

1:09:25

On the merit of the title alone, Devon and Doug watched a French film from 1973 called, A Slightly Pregnant Man directed by Jaques Demy.

Shoplifters (2018) 1:03:09

1:03:09

Shoplifters (2018) This movie wrecked us. We adored it in a way neither of us knew our hearts were capable of and we spent an hour trying our best to put that into words. This is only broken up by Doug admitting he has fond memories of shoplifting himself after a lovely listener call in by a local Rhinebecker, who told us some pretty interesting fa…

This week, Devon and Doug talk about the 1944 film, Gaslight, starring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer.

Doug points out why the film shares direct DNA with the original Universal Monsters. Speak…
