Episode 6. Mmmmmmm! This is a tasty burger!

Episode 9. Mister, I was born for it

What is a "geek" and how does one become one? Are the kids on that beach where people age rapidly actually aliens? David and Alex discuss Guillermo Del Toro's film noir carny flick NIGHTMARE ALLEY (2021) and M Night Shyamalan's bonkers OLD (2021). We also chat Heartland Beer and what that is.

Episode 8. No place for a priest

Is the El Royale hotel in California or Nevada? Or both? If a zombie could talk, would it be a zombie? Is a film titled after a metal really about, you know, metal? David reviews the absolutely terrifying, blood soaked Taiwanese horror film THE SADNESS (2021), and just how demonic the Alvin (ahem) virus is. Alex discusses Drew Goddard’s (The Cabin in the Woods) 2018 multi genre flick BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE and why Chris Helmsworth’s muscular frame dominates the poster, even though he’s barely in the thing. David introduces Alex to TITANE (2021), Julia Ducournau’s visceral, pounding body horror nightmare which picked up the Palme d’Or and shocked France. We also talk Golden Week, Japan’s quasi enforced week of national holidays, crazy taxi drivers and more!

Episode 7. Not entirely pleasant, extremely poisonous, but still, a new flavor

Is Wes Anderson parodying himself ala Tim Burton or has he reached a higher plane with his art? Where did Owen Wilson go when he fell down that hole on his bicycle? If Mr. Desperado himself, Antonio Banderas, had been present in the Titty Twister would From Dusk Till Dawn have been the beginning of the Grindhouse movie universe? Alex discusses seeing FROM DUSK TILL DAWN (1996) for the first time, his thoughts on the vampires and how big actors age over time. We also review Wes Andersons THE FRENCH DISPATCH (2021), talk about our favourite segments, and who are favourite actors are in the star-studded cast. There's also waffle about AMERICAN HORROR STORIES, and what David Lynch is up to on YouTube.

Episode 6. Mmmmmmm! This is a tasty burger!

If Bruce Willis hadn’t whacked some pop tarts in the toaster would he have got THAT watch back? Is Thai shocker Medium about a Shaman or M-size fried potato? Alex talks about his experience watching PULP FICTION (1994) for the first time after fearing dungeon scenes in movies. David discusses Thai Korea coproduction Medium (2021) and what makes a scary found footage film. Plus lots of Tarantino talk!

Episode 5. When you were stabbing that vampire in there... did you get a little...

What are James Woods, one of the Baldwin brothers and Laura Palmer doing with a black cross in the desert? Is a film about a jazz musician falling to his death down a manhole really for kids? David discusses the two JOHN CARPENTER films he hadn't seen until now, VAMPIRES (1998) and STARMAN (1984). Alex talks about Pixar's SOUL (2020) and we discuss what happened to TIM BURTON.
