The Drunk Episode: Two Truths and a Flam || Warning: Explicit and Alcoholic

In this raunchy and daring BONUS episode of Film Flam, the men (boys) break down from the stress of constantly generating new, groundbreaking insights on films. Oh, and they drink. How much they drank exactly is up to debate, and probably lost to the cruel churning tides of history, but one thing is certain: you should drink too. A lot. And only then will you be able to appreciate the masterpiece of a bonus episode that is blessing your shitty feed. Come in, listen to some “fake” movie synopses, and get away from those pesky life responsibilities. What we have for you here is more important. With love, realfilmflampod@gmail.com

Wings Of Desire (1987) || Wim Wender's Flamsterpiece

What does it mean to be human? What is the value of struggle? Is it all worth it? In this episode of Film Flam, Colin and Sean answer these and many, many other questions. The Film Flam Angels (Flamgels?)  take a brief reprieve from their divine perch to stoop to the dirty, corporeal world of the unbathed masses to share all that they learned tromping through the world of Wim Wenders’ Wings of Desire (originally Nicholas Cage’s idea, but Wim beat him to production). Outstanding questions: * Will Colin stop bullying Sean after watching this movie? * If an angel touches a man and he feels it, and the man still commits suicide, is the angel liable? * Is this movie as good as "City of Angels?"

Martin Scorsese's "Raging Bull" (1980) : Raging Flam

This week, we Flam Martin Scorsese’s Raging Bull. This upsetting movie is loved by so many critics. Roger Ebert liked it, the Academy Awards folks threw two trophies at it, and Spielberg described it as “a masterpiece.” But is it even worth watching? Listen to the real heroes to find out. Outstanding questions (locally sourced): * Is this episode about Taxi Driver or about Raging Bull? * Why can’t Lamotta’s wife stop cheating?   * “‘The black and white of Raging Bull isn't just black and white - it's silver and midnight and smoke and sweat.’ - David Thomson .

Oldboy - Live and Wriggling

In this episode, Colin and Sean discuss Truman Show gone Korean, Oldboy, fully achieving liberation from their carnal chains and taking the Flamily to places never dreamed of and even less wished for. Watch this movie with your family, send it to your loved one in prison, and keep your tongue in your mouth—this one is too horrible to watch, and too great not to share. Outstanding questions: * When will Sean finally achieve vengeance against Colin? * Is Oldboy ultimately a romdram?

There Will Be Blood (2007) || "SLURRRPPP"

If that doesn’t sound funny, it’s not—but slap some mud on your face with us and we guarantee you will have a better time than a fatherless train ride to deaf school. Featuring: Colin as Daniel Day Lewis as Daniel Plainview Questions to ponder: * Would “Eli Saturday” have been less “on the nose”? * Should I devote my life to drilling oil? * When will Film Flam finally get final cut?
