THE FRENCH CONNECTION (1971)

Episode 22: Tom, Evan & Marcus go one fucking hour the techno-erotic thriller "Disclosure" (1994), a completely irrational ring-wing slice of men's rights propaganda starring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore.

David Lynch’s LOST HIGHWAY (1997)

STAR 80 (1983)

Episode 18: Evan, Tom, Marcus and special guest guest Rémy Bennett discuss the 1983 film "Star 80," Bob Fosse's brutal and glitzy adaptation of the 1980 Dorothy Stratten Playboy murder/suicide tragedy that exemplifies the horrific desperation of the Hollywood dream gone bad. 

William Friedkin’s CRUISING (1980)

Episode 17: Tom, Evan & Marcus deep dive on "Cruising" (1980), William Friedkin's polarizing film of serial murder set against the backdrop of NYC's late 70's gay leather bar scene.

NOTE: Evan's audio was mistakenly recorded too loud and is overdriven/distorted in some areas. We did the best to repair it! Our apologies and hope it doesn't affect your listening experience.

Jerry Lewis’ CRACKING UP (1983)

Episode 16: It's Tom birthday episode and thus, we are all forced to dive into Jerry Lewis' mind shattering anti-comedy "Cracking Up" (1983) which was befuddlingly released the same year as Scorsese's "The King of Comedy".

JACKIE BROWN (1997): Tarantino’s best film by a mile

Episode 15: Tom, Evan & Marcus revisit "Jackie Brown" (1997), a truly underrated 90s crime film with amazing performances, and a low key pace set in the parking lots, food courts and dive bars of Los Angeles.

Episode 14: Tom, Evan & Marcus embark on perhaps the most complex fucking hour yet examining the major flaws and fuck-yeahs within John Boorman's over zealous sci-fi epic "Zardoz" (1974).
