This week, John was the only one of us who saw “Sinners” on Easter, so he offers a spoiler-free mini-review before the boys get to their featured conversation, “Black Swan”: Films of 2010. The random year generator spun 2010, a repeat for us (The Social Network, Incendies), so we break down the film year, the news year, and dive into a conversation about this psychological thriller that hit three artists- two of whom once took dance classes…- close to home!

This week, the boys stay positive as they take a look at Ridley Scott’s first proper film, “The Duelists,” from 1977! Starring Keith Carradine, Harvey Keitel, and Albert Finney, this self-funded film is stunning to watch, but is it interesting to endure? We drink and discuss! John and Dave also caught “The Amateur” (2025) in the cinema and offer a mini-review before John discusses some upsetting WGA hiring statistics. Grab a drink and give us a listen!

This week, we head to 1964 to discuss John Frankenheimer’s “The Train,” a film that begs the question: How much do train mechanics know about art? Just kidding, it’s an awesome film with Burt Lancaster in the lead performance butting heads with legendary antagonist Paul Scofield as an SS Captain hoping to smuggle French art from Paris to Germany before the Allies liberate France’s capital city. Fortunately, the French have the infamous Underground! Grab a drink and give us a listen!

This week on the show, Jeff’s audio is crap, but the conversation is great! John kicks us off with a mini-review of Steven Soderbergh’s “Black Bag”, starring Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender. Once he gives his thoughts, we gripe about filming expenses in LA and the US as a whole and compostables before getting to our featured conversation, “Dial ‘M’ For Murder”, the Alfred Hitchcock classic. Our second time visiting 1954, we give you some context by reading some film facts and trivia, American facts and trivia, and then get to the show.

The week on the show, we welcome back our music sponsor and artist in residence, DASEIN, using John’s crap audio to discuss Spielberg’s 2nd of 4 (at least) WWII epics, “Empire of The Sun.” The random year generator spun 1987, a year we visited to discuss Bertolucci’s “The Last Emperor”, but we still gave you some set-up of what was happening around the world to add context to why in the hell two movies about empires set in China were two of the biggest movies of 1987. Dave also opens the show discussing Bong Joon Ho’s “Mickey 17” in a mini-review where he states whether this movie can hang with previous episode features “Parasite” and “Memories of Murder”.

This week, the boys return to 1989 for the second time to discuss “The Abyss”, James Cameron’s underwater sci-fi thriller that paved the way for much of T2 and Titanic. Starring Ed Harris, May Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Michael Biehn, the film looks real… because it is! After John kicks things off with a mini-review of “Last Breath”, we set up what was happening in 1989 before diving deep into the film. Jeff had a first-time watch, John and Dave returned to the film. How do they feel it lives on 36 years after its release?

This week, the boys head back to 1962 to discuss Blake Edwards’s “Days of Wine and Roses”, starring Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick. We’ve previously discussed the 1962 films “To Kill a Mockingbird”, “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?”, and “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence”. We start the conversation with thoughts on the Oscars, the state of cinema, and more! Grab a beer- or coffee- and join us for a conversation about this excellent film about an alcoholic couple navigating life.
