73. The Big Lebowski

A bowler, a rug, and one very unfortunate case of mistaken identity—this week on the podcast, we dive headfirst into the weird (Coen brothers) world of The Big Lebowski. Whether you're a first-time viewer or listener or maybe even a lifelong achiever ;) this episode of TA really pulls the whole conversation together! What do you think...did we cross the line with these ratings? Or should we mark it an eight? Join our conversation here or on YouTube! [https://www.youtube.com/@tameaperturemoviepodcast]

72. Cocaine Bear

In this basement episode see what happens when a true crime story, a duffel bag of cocaine, and a very unfortunate bear collide? You get Allen and Gabe talking Cocaine Bear—one of the most gloriously unhinged high concept movies in recent memory.

71. Planet Terror

If you love grindhouse homage, missing reels, zombies melting in neon light… and heroines with machine-gun legs — this one’s for you! This week on the podcast, we dive headfirst into Planet Terror--the gloriously unhinged half of the double-feature experiment known as Grindhouse, directed by the mad scientist himself, Robert Rodriguez.

70. Death Proof

Alright…seatbelts on. We’re talking about Death Proof — the sleazy, sun-bleached, tire-screeching half of Grindhouse — directed by none other than Quentin Tarantino a.k.a QT. This is the movie where dialogue hangs out longer than you expect and somewhere in the distance you can hear the rumble of a 1970s muscle car engine. Then about half way through--QT changes to an HD modern look...why? Is this the stronger half of the double feature? Gabe’s not so sure—you might want to revisit Planet Terror before making that call.

69. The Shadow of the Sun

In this episode, we talk The Shadow of the Sun, a powerful Venezuelan film that earned international attention as Venezuela’s Academy Awards International Feature Film nominee. It's a quietly powerful film that wrestles with memory, identity, and hope. We’re joined by director Miguel Angel Ferrer, who walks us through the personal origins of the project, themes that shaped it, and the creative decisions that brought it to life. From writing and directing to the realities of indie filmmaking, Miguel opens up about process, intention, and the moments that surprised him along the way. #theshadowofthesun [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/theshadowofthesun] #venezuelanfilms [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/venezuelanfilms] #oscarnominee [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/oscarnominee]
