S2 E10: Bait and Pitch

S2 E13: Farewell, My Ratboy

Ratboy has become the metric against which we’ve measured every wild film and our unofficial mascot, and as one last tribute to you and to the fateful Christmas we found our cinematic center, we humbly offer up a Ratboy commentary track as a little post-finale bonus/punishment. Logistical notes: You can listen to this exclusively as an audio track or cue it up with the film for the visuals. You can find Ratboy (1986) on OK.RU or rent on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9h9RSXXYmI]or other streaming platforms. To listen along with our commentary, you’ll basically treat this podcast audio as your audio track (turn the volume off on the streaming video). Start our audio track to get cued up with the video, and… enjoy?

S2 E12: Spiritual Motorcycle

“In Japan there is a phrase, owari no bigaku, which means beautiful end” -Kimiko Kasai [https://banbantonton.com/2018/05/20/interview-kimiko-kasai/]. For the past 3 years, we have had such fun reporting back on the wild world of cinematic hidden gems. In our final episode, we recount some of the most notable head-scratchers from previous episodes and break down the most on-brand [Storybored-esque?] movies we’ve watched recently. We recap some of our favorite original pitches from the past and give you one last stellar pitch for the ages. And we send you home with one last Radar Round-up of must-watches and must-avoids. To all our beloved Loose Dudes out there, we had a blast and we hope you find a Ratboy [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYZnW3G89wY] of your very own.
