Top Gun & Top Gun: Maverick

Top Gun & Top Gun: Maverick

Goodness gracious, Tom Cruise is on fire! Our hosts return from a brief summer break to discuss the golden-hour-soaked, beach volleyball, fighter jet classic Top Gun, directed by Tony Scott, and the box office behemoth of a sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, directed by Joseph Kosinski. We are joined by the inimitiable actor and writer Mishone Feigin (Alien Convergence, Shadow of a Gun).

Gladiator & The Northman

Grab your fur, helmet, sword and sandals to gear up for an action-packed conversation about two historical revenge epics: Ridley Scott's best picture winning film "Gladiator" set in Ancient Rome and Robert Egger's Icelandic Viking legend "The Northman".

The Lost Weekend & Another Round

Pop open a bottle and join our hosts as they discuss the maverick Billy Wilder's addiction drama "The Lost Weekend" which won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1945 and Thomas Vinterberg's Danish 2020 black comedy "Another Round", winner of Best International Feature in 2021. Please note: this was Dezil & Reeser's actual first recording and mics weren't finessed yet so there may be some sound inconsistencies. Thank you family for understanding!

Rules of Attraction & Shithouse

Dezil & Reeser head back to the ol' days of college with director Roger Avary's The Rules of Attraction, the saber-toothed satire adapted from Bret Easton Ellis' novel and Shithouse, the debut feature from multi-hyphenate wunderkind Cooper Raiff.

The Matrix & Everything Everywhere All At Once

This week, venture into reality simulations and the multiverse with kickass martial arts as our hosts wrap their minds around two sci-fi flicks: the 1999 cyberpunk blockbuster The Matrix, written and directed by the Wachowskis and 2022's dimension-hopping Everything Everywhere All At Once, written and directed by the Daniels. We are joined with special guest filmmaker Micah Van Hove (Menthol, Shadow of a Gun, Super Heady and the upcoming Snake Oil Song).
