May 1981

Oh, my god, there were roughly 11,000 movies released in May of 1981, and we managed to discuss every single one of them. You want John Waters? We've got John Waters. You want Hal Ashby? We've got Hal Ashby. We've got Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin together. We've got a terrible Lone Ranger movie. We've got Stewart Rafill at his Stewart Rafillest. Sean Connery's in outer space! And Richard Pryor shows up in a really terrible comedy featuring kids and the Klan! All that plus five -- yes FIVE -- ...

April 1981

Get ready to listen to the only podcast you will ever hear that manages to transition from Tony Danza in GOIN' APE to Federico Fellini's CITY OF WOMEN. That's right, it's April 1981, and that means it's one seriously weird line-up. There are some classics, like EXCALIBUR and NIGHTHAWKS, and there are some no-so-classics like CAVEMAN and BLOODY BIRTHDAY. We found a delightful and largely forgotten Western with Burt Lancaster, and you'll get to hear a story about how Drew was a total creep to Sus...

March 1981

What do we have this month? Man, what DON'T we have this month? You want a weird uncomfortable sexual triangle between Gene Hackman, Barbra Streisand, and Dennis Quaid? Nope, us neither, but you're getting it anyway! Either Sam Neill or Bill Cosby is the devil this month... or maybe both of them are! We've got Tobe Hooper, Gary Coleman, Elliott Gould, Sally Field, Jack Nicholson, Jessica Lange, early Jim Jarmusch, and a comedy that Stanley Kubrick once described as "the perfect movie." Yep. It'...

February 1981

Wanna know what the best film that came out this month was? Well, it certainly wasn't SPHINX, based on the Robin Cook book, but that's where our trip through the month begins. Peter Ustinov's almost cheerfully offensive CHARLIE CHAN film is this month, as is the fascinating Christopher Walken performance at the heart of DOGS OF WAR. It's a pretty wild ride, including William Hurt and Sigourney Weaver, Paul Newman, a young Rachel Ticotin, Francois Truffaut, Toshiro Mifune, one of the biggest nam...

January 1981

Ahhhhh, January. Named for the Latin word for 'door,' this is the way into the second season of the show. Any film fan knows that January is a weird month for releases, and this is no exception. Lily Tomlin's THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN, the ambitious Native American fantasy WINDWALKER, and David Cronenberg's SCANNERS are just a few of the diverse titles we cover this month!
