They Called This a Movie

Episode 349 - Erotic Thriller Double Feature: Angel Eyes (1993) and Titanic 2000 (1999)

It's our November Movie of the Month Episode, as selected by our Patreon subscribers!  This month, we are counter-programming No Nut November, by choosing to watch erotic thrillers in what we're calling "Go Nut November".  This month's Patron poll wound up ending in a tie, so we decided to watch both movies and discuss them together.  We're watching Angel Eyes starring Penthouse Pet Monique Gabrielle and Titanic 2000, starring green screen backgrounds.  Join us as we discuss the thin line between erotic thriller and softcore pornography, the awful acting across the board, and the failed comedy of at least one of the movies.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

Episode 348 - Champagne and Bullets (1993)

We're going through a midlife crisis as we watch John De Hart's entry into the black tank top subgenre of vanity projects, as we watch Champagne and Bullets AKA Road to Revenge AKA GetEven on this week's episode.  Join us as we discuss the absolute fear on John De Hart's face, forcing Playboy Playmates to do nude scenes, and the Shimmy Slide.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

This week, we're joining William Shatner as he tries to stop a roving infestation of deadly tarantulas in Kingdom of the Spiders from 1977.  Join us as we discuss the similarities to Arachnophobia, tarantula genocide, and William Shatner's persona on and off screen.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

Happy Halloween! It's our very special Movie of the Month landing right on All Hallow's Eve.
