Épisodes
  • Ready to Rumble (2000)
    Jan 30 2025

    Director Brian Robbins may have been head of the class, but that doesn't make him out of touch with the world of burnout numbskulls and the world of professional wrestling. The proof? 2000's Ready to Rumble, the story of two idiots who are determined to bring a disgraced pro wrestler back to his former glory. Dan tells Jon all about the world of pro wrestling, wrestlers, and how they entered and re-entered his life starting in the 1980s. Dan and Jon also share their ideas for how Ready to Rumble could be brought back in 2025.

  • Q: The Winged Serpent (1982)
    Jan 22 2025

    Wow. If you haven't seen Q: The Winged Serpent, stop whatever you're doing, find it, and press play. With the star power of Richard Roundtree and David Carradine, the run-and-gun directing style of Larry Cohen, and mind-altering acting from Michael Moriarty, this film truly has it all. But perhaps there's an opportunity to revisit this cult classic - Dan and Jon surely have their thoughts.

  • Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
    Jan 15 2025

    Before there was Rocky Horror, Tommy, or The Wall, director Brian De Palma and Paul Williams teamed up to bring us a genre-defining rock opera that continues to stun audiences, further cementing its cult classic status. Phantom of the Paradise tells the story of a singer-songwriter whose opus is stolen from him by Swan, the one man who controls the world's popular music, and his descent into madness. Dan and Jon celebrate the music, the stunning visuals, and brilliant direction by De Palma. They also imagine ways that this film could be revisited for a modern audience.
