"Black Book" (2005)

Robocop, Total Recall, Basic Instinct, Showgirls, Starship Troopers, and... Black Book? What do these have in common? They're all (mostly) awesome - and they're all directed by a crazy man by the name of Paul Verhoven. After two critical flops, Starship Troopers and 2000's Hollow Man, Verhoven seemingly left Hollywood behind for a grand return to his native Dutch roots. After a five year break from directing (as far as we could tell), he returned - better, in Chad's opinion - to direct the largest film in Dutch film history, 2005's Black Book (and eventually leading up to 2016's Elle, which garnered an oscar nomination for lead actress Isabelle Huppert).

Having dominated Hollywood blockbusters since the 1980's, Verhoven has seemingly taken the next step to tackling more dramatic, more meaningful films... without losing the quirks that make him unique.

Two days late, but whatever, right?

"The Long Goodbye" (1973)

Whatever your opinion might be on the films of Robert Altman, no one can deny his films have a specific style. Mark introduces Chad to this 1973 film, hoping to clarify his own feelings on the movie – is it good, or nay?

"Grandma's Boy"

Somewhere, lost in the sands of time, this movie was released in theaters to a non-existent audience. Gradually that audience grew on DVD and "Grandma's Boy" eventually reached cult status. This is a movie I unabashedly love, with all its warts, so I take the time to introduce it to a less-than-impressed Mark Alan Heiliger. Maybe y'all will enjoy it as much as I do.

"Talk Radio"

Where this movie disappeared to is beyond us. Frankly, I'd never even heard of it prior to Mark suggesting it as a possible option. At the height of his prime, Oliver Stone set out to direct this film - a film based on a PLAY, by the way - and generally knocked it out of the park, despite the movie vanishing from at least my own little world view. All this considered, "Talk Radio" is a pretty great watch and a valid political piece that still holds true today (ESPECIALLY NOW). Inspired by (possible SPOILER, but based on real life facts?) the real life murder of a Denver, Colorado talk radio host - a Jewish man whose mouth and words got him in trouble with the far-right white supremacy group that ultimately killed him in the parking lot outside of his radio station. This movie deserves some attention.

"Paths of Glory"

Finally we crack open an "older" film - Stanley Kubrick's "Paths of Glory". Mark and I take a crack at what appears to be Kubrick's baby-legs movie - the first film that put Kubrick on the map. There's signs of rawness and flaws amongst glimmers of genius that shaped Kubrick. It's clear here that he's got a unique vision that would later blossom into, well, the film's we know and love (most of us, anyway). We get into the absurdity of Kubrick's war films, and how this must have been quite a liberal film back in the day.

Side note: Somehow neither Mark nor myself noticed that the German Woman at the end of the film, was actually the woman that would become Kubrick's wife.

"Frailty"

RIP Bill Paxton, you talented bastard. Mark and I sulk in a darker world and try to bring ourselves around to a world without Private Hudson. This is a special episode for us - it's our first time having a special guest on the episode - a coworker of mine and editor on the Bill Paxton series, "Big Love", Mr. Byron Smith. "Frailty" seemed like the right choice to memorialize Mr. Paxton, because it was a rare glimpse into seeing Bill direct a feature film for the first time. It's rumored (mostly by us, sans research) that Bill wanted to direct more things, but perhaps just enjoyed life too much to suffer thru the misery of directing - in any case, he succeeded here.

So... crack open a cheap beer, sit back, and let off some steam as we celebrate the life of one Mr. Bill Paxton. Posted three days early, for your listening enjoyment.

"Flirting"

What can I say about this movie that probably no one here has ever heard of? "Flirting" is an Australian film made in the early 1990's, starring a whole lot of actors/actresses that you've assuredly seen elsewhere since (even though they were "small time" at the time of release), including Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, Thandie Newton, Noah Taylor and... well, maybe that's all you'd recognize, but yeah, it's worth a watch if you enjoyed films like "Dead Poets Society" and (every other boarding school movie ever). If THAT doesn't make you excited to listen to this podca----- wait, why would any of that excite you enough to spend an hour listening to us grovel on about scandal and such (yes, this podcast is complete with scandal - which we didn't know about until about mid-way thru the movie). I guess I'll do the click-bait thing and tell you to listen to find out what it is. So, yeah. Listen. I mean, it's fucking produced by George "Mad Max" Miller, for fuck's sake... or George "Happy Feet" Miller, if that's more your speed.

"Spartan" (2004)

Sternly disciplined and rigorously simple.

It’s not just an adjective, it’s a movie thanks to David Mamet who brings his trademark “so unrealistic, it starts to sound realistic” dialogue to this 2004 thriller. No, it's not a prequel to 300. This is a story of manly men (and Val Kilmer) working all night and day to rescue a girl. Which girl? Well, the movie never states it plainly, but I’m sure you can figure it out. It’s sitting at a 6.6 on IMDB, probably due to audiences expecting something like Taken and getting something like The Spanish Prisoner with more knives. Honestly, it can be a confusing movie if you’re unable to piece together the story from the bits of information it reluctantly gives you. A Mamet film can be like a cold, withholding mother who doesn’t really want you to succeed because then you might move out of the house…

Oh yeah, and it co-stars Kristen Bell just as she was about to hit the big time in Veronica Mars. Mark loves this movie, Chad is indifferent.

"Chuffed" almost makes it sound like you were mad. I'm quite chuffed that you weren't.

2017-02-10 19:41:15

Well, it finally happened. Mark and I broke the chain of movies that at least one of us has seen by watching "Phantom of the Paradise" - a movie that neither of us had seen. This is a film directed by the "great" Brian DePalma (although there's some debate how "great" his films are, a topic which consumes us for the majority of this podcast). "Phantom of the Paradise" can best be described as a film that soaked up the incredibly awful fashion & design styles of the early 70's and made my nightmare out of it. I don't know how else to describe it. This will be a good litmus test for whether or not Mark and I can hold your attention for a film that probably none of you will ever go out of your way to see. No clue how this has a 7.4/10 on imdb.

Releasing a few days early because I'll be out of town this weekend.

NEW EPISODE. "About Time" (2013)

I had to force this one on Mark, more or less, because honestly who wants to watch a british rom-com about time travel? (don't answer that, british folk) Point is, not many people did see this one - even if it is probably the most mainstream film we've watched this far. "About Time" is a wonderfully funny flick, and if you haven't seen it - you SHOULD suck it up and watch it. Just don't judge this one on the poster, because... yeah. Seriously, what a horribly misrepresentative ad campaign. At least make it to the audio clip I've edited into the episode, because that should help enlighten you to the type of humor that this movie possesses.

"Just One of the Guys" - straight from the 80's (and completely unbeknownst to me), this movie lurked in the shadows for the past 30 years (where it mostly continues to live). Apparently I'm the last one to have heard about it - though it is one of Mark's favorites (he can defend himself further, if he so chooses). This is a quirky sex-swap comedy with a low budget and nobody (mostly) of recognizable fame, with the exception of William Zabka (Karate Kid) and Sherilyn Fenn. It's worth seeing, but not spectacular (Mark might disagree). That said, I enjoyed it.

Note 1: Mark's film professor actually directed this, so he's got some insight into the making of it.

Note 2: Releasing this two days early.

I love this movie. Mark's never seen it. WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW? Well, a podcast... naturally. We didn't plan it this way, but this is our seventh episode, continuing the trend of ONE of us has seen it, ONE of us hasn't. "Things to do in Denver When You're Dead" is quintessential 90's flavor when it comes to indie films of the era. Starring just about everyone, this movie is pretty damn quotable, and extremely sentimental to boot. If you haven't seen the movie, I suggest listening to the opening, then the audio clip trailer --- then go watch the movie -- THEN come back and finish the podcast, or we'll ruin it for you. That goes for pretty much ANY of our podcasts. The hope is to get YOU PEOPLE to watch at least one or two of these movies (that you've probably never heard of). If we accomplish that, well... GO US.

Straight from the dvd-rip library of Mark Alan Heiliger, comes the HBO classic(?) "Cast a Deadly Spell", starring Fred Ward, Clancy Brown and a fresh-faced Julianne Moore. This wacky film touches a handful of genres, including: fantasy, noir, action, comedy, horror(?) - too many, frankly, but that's probably why it ended up on HBO instead of theaters. This movie is produced by GALE ANNE HURD, right smack in the middle of her prime, btw, so yeah... not sure how I hadn't ever heard of this one until now, but it's worth a watch (or a listen).
