218 - Attack the Block

Dudes on Movies ·

2024/05/13

The Dudes fight invading aliens, and systematic injustice, in 2011's Attack the Block! This highly original sci-fi adventure not only delivers the thrills and laughs, but thoughtful commentary on modern day society. It also introduced the world to the commanding presence of a pre-Star Wars John Boyega. Both Dudes agree, everyone should be watching this - not playing FIFA. Other movies discussed: Chicken Hawk (1994) - Directed by Adi Sideman Hamlet (1948) - Directed by Laurence Olivier QUESTION

217 - The Matrix

2024/05/06

The Dudes finally tackle a modern classic with 1999's The Matrix. If you live on this planet, there's a good chance you're very familiar with this movie, and our only hope is that our discussion measures up. The good news is that if you were blown away in 1999, nothing has changed since then. Other movies discussed: Late Night With The Devil (2023) - Directed by Colin and Cameron Cairnes Weird Science (1985) - Directed by John Hughes QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What is your favorite movie or movies

216 - Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Dudes on Movies ·

2024/04/29

The Dudes battle a tyrannical Alan Rickman in 1991's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves! This box office sensation brought grit and gore to a familiar tale, but it also brough criticism. Is Kevin Costner as bad as they say, does Morgan Freeman celebrate Life Day, and is Bryan Adams the real hero of the film? The Dudes find out and more in this revamped episode! Just remember: everything we do, we do it for you.OTHER MOVIES DISCUSSED Another Body (2023) Directed by Sophie Compton and Reuben

215 - Tiptoes

Dudes on Movies ·

2024/04/22

The Dudes patience is stretched far too taut with 2003's Tiptoes, the insanely inappropriate outrage that entreats for the rights of Little People while casting a non-Little Person actor as a Little Person. Ugly, wrongheaded, shameful, and appalling, this legendarily terrible film is as rotten as movies get. It's also called Tiptoes. For God's sake everybody.

214 - Bill & Ted Face the Music

Dudes on Movies ·

2024/04/15

The Dudes attempt to save the world, and their marriages, in 2020's "Bill & Ted Face the Music"! This legacy sequel finds our most excellent heroes at a low point in their lives, not having lived up to their expectations. However, they get an opportunity to make things right with the help of their loving daughters and several other versions of themselves. Although it has its fair share of problems, B&T's charm is impossible to resist. Station!Other movies discussed: The Good, the Bad and

213 - Alien 3

Dudes on Movies ·

2024/04/08

The Dudes go into hypersleep, and are again greeted with terror with 1992's Alien 3. This famously troubled production almost ended David Fincher's career before it got started, but time has been semi-kind to most of it, mainly due to still impressive practical special effects, and the always awesome Sigourney Weaver. Other movies discussed: In a Lonely Place (1950) - Directed by Nicholas Ray The Greatest Show On Earth (1952) - Directed by Cecil B. DeMille QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What polarizing

212 - Pump Up the Volume

Dudes on Movies ·

2024/04/01

The Dudes broadcast their pirate signal to angsty high schoolers in 1990's Pump Up the Volume! Get ready for some pre-grunge rebellion led by Christian Slater and the always amazing Samantha Mathis in her first major role. It's filled with poignant drama, still relevant social commentary, and a feast of excellent underground tunes! So get your bubble gum, turn it up, and talk hard.Other movies discussed: The Outsider (1983) - Directed by Francis Ford Coppola Dead Birds (2004) - Directed by Alex

211 - Celtic Pride

Dudes on Movies ·

2024/03/25

The Dudes pray for a Game 7 miracle and put Boston fans on blast with 1996's Celtic Pride. While this sports-based comedy can be frustrating at times with unwanted athlete cameos, it still features decent humor and some fairly realistic basketball scenes. It's also a mostly harmless good time at the movies that we don't get much of anymore, so kick back and enjoy one of Scott's most played VHS tapes. Other movies discussed: The Battle of Algiers (1966) - Directed by Gillo Pontecorvo Death

2024/03/18

The Dudes are staying alive in 1977's Saturday Night Fever. Watch John Travolta dance his way through Brooklyn, women, and life in general. Will he learn to better himself? Will he "make it" with Annette? And will Bobby stop asking so many damn questions? Tune in to find out, and make it two slices two is good.Other movies discussed: The Devil's Honey (1986) - Directed by Lucio Fulci A Haunting in Venice (2023) - Directed by Kenneth Branagh QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite movies

209 - The Crucible

Dudes on Movies ·

2024/03/11

The Dudes can't recall one key Commandment with 1996's The Crucible. Arthur Miller's masterpiece was both a dramatization of terrible historical events as well as a powerful allegory against McCarthyism and the HUAC. Such witch-hunts unfortunately carry on to this day, and if this were a just world, the swine who start them would receive swift retribution. All that aside, this is a great movie and you should watch it. Other movies discussed: An American in Paris (1951) - Directed by

208 - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Dudes on Movies ·

2024/03/04

The Dudes visit Hogwarts for the first time with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! As the third film in the franchise, it develops a more mature tone while hanging on to some of the childish nature from the prior films. But does the film pull it off? Is Snape secretly in a metal band? And why is Gary Oldman riding a bird-horse? Tune in to find the answers!

207 - The Last Temptation of Christ

Dudes on Movies ·

2024/02/26

The Dudes spread a message of love in 1988's The Last Temptation of Christ. This Scorsese passion project spawned a worldwide controversy due to its sympathetic and exaggerated portrayal of biblical characters and events. Not just protests, but actual death threats and violence. Sometimes these are the things Men must face to accomplish something greater.Other movies discussed: Class of 1984 (1982) - Directed by Mark L.

206 - The One I Love

Dudes on Movies ·

2024/02/19

The Dudes stumble into a romantic Event Horizon with 2014's The One I Love, one of the strangest love stories ever told. Though this movie contains only 3 actors with onscreen speaking roles, its ambition is limitless, and by the end the voice of Mama Cass will play on a loop in your head for days afterward. Let's just get it going now! "While I'm far away from you, my baby..." Other movies discussed: The Devil All The Time (2020) - Directed by Antonio Campos Prince Of The City (1981) -

205 - Sphere

Dudes on Movies ·

2024/02/12

The Dudes don't often find themselves pondering mediocrity, but that's the case this week with 1998's Sphere, an atmospheric but often tedious Science Fiction adventure. Weirdly edited, unevenly paced, and sometimes a gigantic mess, even the bombastic ending leaves you wanting after 135(!) misspent minutes. All aboard.

204 - Face/Off

Dudes on Movies ·

2024/02/05

The Dudes attempt to explain an experimental surgery gone wrong in 1997's Face/Off! This unhinged action film from acclaimed director John Woo is just as awesome as it is ridiculous. Excellently crafted action sequences, and incredible mimicry from its two stars, propel this off-the-wall crowd pleaser beyond its plot holes and into the the action movie hall of fame. Don't try to explain it: just enjoy it. Wooo! Other movies discussed: Jennifer's Body (2009) - Directed by Karyn Kusama They Cloned
