One F*cking Hour

Episode 28: For Marcus' birthday episode, we go one fucking hour on his childhood favorite – the most tread upon road there is – George Lucas' "Star Wars" (1977). But we're doing it our way with a deep dive on the hidden history of its production, Aunt Beru & Uncle Owen's charred corpses, and the crushed dreams of a young hopeful auteur.

Episode 27: Tom, Evan & Marcus go one fucking hour on "The Swimmer" (1968), a haunting, allegorical dream-state drama from husband & wife team Frank & Eleanor Perry starring Burt Lancaster.

Episode 26: Tom, Evan, Marcus and special guest Rémy Bennett go one fucking hour on Martin Bell, Mary Ellen Mark, & Cheryl McCaul's landmark documentary "Streetwise" (1984), which follows runaway street kids in Seattle with heartbreaking intimacy and rawness.

Episode 25: Tom, Evan & Marcus go one fucking hour on Alan Rudolph's 'neurotic noir' "Remember My Name" (1978), an unsettling emotional revenge film with brilliant lead performances by Geraldine Chaplin and Anthony Perkins.

Episode 24: Tom, Evan & Marcus go one fucking hour on the endlessly hilarious and wholly authentic satire "This Is Spinal Tap" (1984), which is virtually indistinguishable from the real trials and tribulations of dwindling heavy rock acts of the era. 

NOTE:  This is NOT an episode on Zach Braff's "Garden State" (2004), that was an April fool's joke we took too far. Apologies to anyone who pre-watched it, but hey, an hour-long dive into Spinal Tap 

Episode 24: For our very special Oscar's themed episode, Tom, Evan & Marcus go one fucking hour on one of the all-time classic award-sweepers, William Friedkin's influential vérité crime saga "The French Connection" (1971). Plus some additional bonus chatter on the 2022 Academy Awards shit-show and our thoughts on Paul Thomas Anderson's "Licorice Pizza" (2021).

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.

Episode 21: Tom, Evan & Marcus go one fucking hour on David Lynch's terrifying, phantasmagorical noir "Lost Highway" (1997) – perhaps his darkest film, which is really saying something.

Episode 20: Tom, Evan, Marcus and special guest Taylor Rowley deep dive on Todd Solondz's "Welcome to the Dollhouse," an especially cruel and hilarious portrait of suburban adolescent misanthropia.

Episode 19: Tom, Evan & Marcus bravely explore Peter Bogdanovich's smotheringly sentimental "Mask" (1985), based on the true story of Rocky Dennis, an American teenage who suffered from a rare facial affliction.
