In this episode of Unger the Radar, Randy Unger jumps into two very different rides at the movies with Roofman and The Running Man. One is scrappy, grounded, and a little off-center. The other is big, bold, and built for adrenaline. Together, they spark a conversation about scale, spectacle, and why both intimate storytelling and high-octane cinema still have a place in today’s film landscape. Randy breaks down what works, what surprises, and how these films reflect where movies are headed right now. A fun, sharp listen for anyone who loves seeing wildly different films share the same spotlight.

On this episode of Unger the Radar, we lean into the weird, the quiet, and the unexpectedly funny side of two films that don’t play by the usual rules: If I Had Legs I’d Kick You and Train Dreams. It’s a playful, thoughtful ride through movies that whisper instead of shout, sneak up on your feelings, and leave you thinking about them way longer than you planned. Randy breaks down why these stories hit, how small moments pack the biggest punch, and why sometimes the strangest titles lead to the most rewarding watches. Perfect for movie lovers who like their cinema smart, offbeat, and just a little under the radar.

On this episode of Unger the Radar, we step into the realm of creation, control, and consequence with Bugonia and Frankenstein (2025). Joining me are guest hosts Chris Clemente and Judy Davis for a conversation that explores what happens when obsession, ambition, and curiosity collide.

We dig into Bugonia as a sharp, unsettling modern parable, then trace its thematic DNA back to Frankenstein, the enduring myth that continues to shape how we think about authorship, responsibility, and the cost of playing creator. Together, these films ask urgent questions about power, morality, and what we owe the things we bring into the world.

Thoughtful, cinematic, and a little unsettling, this episode looks at why these stories endure and why they feel especially relevant right now. Pull up a seat and let’s take a closer look at the monsters we make, and the ones we become.

On this episode of Unger the Radar, we head into dangerous territory with Sam Raimi’s Send Help, a survival thriller that strips its characters down to instinct, endurance, and hard-earned trust. Joining me is guest host Chris Clemente, as we dig into what makes this film tick and why Raimi remains one of the most inventive and unpredictable voices in genre filmmaking.

We talk about Raimi’s long career of controlled chaos, from his early, scrappy beginnings to the precision behind his most intense work, and how Send Help fits into that legacy. It’s a film about survival, power dynamics, and the uneasy relationship between hope and desperation, all delivered with Raimi’s signature tension and dark humor.

Pull up a chair and lean in as we explore why Send Help proves that sometimes the most frightening stories are the ones that leave you with nowhere to run, and no one to rely on but each other.

On this episode of Unger the Radar, we’re rattling the cage once again with Rattling The (Nicolas) Cage 2.0. This time, we dive headfirst into Face/Off and Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, two films that capture Nicolas Cage at his most fearless, unhinged, and strangely profound.

From operatic action madness to reptile-brained lawlessness, we talk about performance as spectacle, chaos as craft, and why Cage remains one of the most unpredictable forces in modern cinema. Love him, question him, or simply watch in awe, this is Cage turned all the way up.

On this episode of Unger the Radar, we step into the emotional shadows of Hamnet and No Other Choice. These are stories about loss, about moments when fate tightens the frame and the choices get few and heavy. I’ll guide you through what makes these films linger long after the credits roll, from quiet grief to the moral weight carried by ordinary people.

Pull up a seat, lean in, and let’s talk about why these stories matter, because sometimes the most powerful films aren’t about what we choose, but what we’re left with.

Perfect for listeners who like their commentary smart, candid, and unapologetically real.
