2019/04/05

Aha! The Immortals are back and ready to go to war as we learn how many of them will follow Patton to the ends of the Earth. They also get annoyed by their song picks this week from Orange Juice and Sparks, which--fun fact--are the names of bands! They also break down the Alan Partridge classic sitcom Knowing Me Knowing You. But first they get all of their Game of Thrones predications out of the way. You'll find out who Sarah is in love with! Here's a hint, it's not Austin! Intro / Game of Thrones

2019/03/28

150 EPISODES!!!! It's a landmark and also so hysterically far from the premise goal. But forget about that, because the Immortals dive into the brilliant teenage comedy Fast Times at Ridgemont High. They talk about Ice Cube's perspective on race in the 90s. They talk about how EDM music is....EDM music. Then they dive deep into the FOX drama House and how it holds up. BUT THEN....Austin got his friends to watch this insane Starz drama that history is actively choosing to forget: The Chair. We go

2019/03/21

The Apu Trilogy is one of the most beloved films in cinema history and The Immortals get the chance to start it with the poverty coming-of-age film, Pather Panchali. Then they get their taste of European history with an album by John Cale. They dive into what it means to be a drug song with Sister Morphine by Marianne Faithfull--not The Rolling Stones. Then Austin is too enthusiastic about a spy drama called The Sandbaggers. MOST POPULAR ENTRIES EVER!!!! Intro 0:00 -- 13:17 Pather Panchali 13:17

2019/03/14

Most of the Immortals are traveling during this recording time so they decided to do a bonus episode to catch up on reviews people have missed. J.C. talks about the colors of The Adventures of Robin Hood! They all listen to the politics (and Broadway career) of Fela Kuti. Then Pedro also questions Walker in Point Blank! Take a listen! They'll be back next week with a full episode.

The Immortals ·

2019/03/09

If all The Immortals were in Europe, how long would it take before most of them would try to manipulate Pedro to commit crimes for them? That's the dilemma in the middle of the Wim Wenders' film The American Friend! It's a Ripley novel adaptation from Patricia Highsmith starring Dennis Hopper and Bruno Ganz. After they finish their assassinations, they listen to R.E.M. and Chaka Khan and then Austin barely proves that Footballers' Wives exists. Also plenty of Oscar reactions a week late! Get

The Immortals ·

2019/02/28

Pedro is gone this week which it's fair to assume he took Walker's money in Point Blank! While he's gone they discuss that crime classic while also listening to The Cramps. Then they do a deep dive into the British crime series, Prime Suspect, starring Helen Mirren. (The talk is almost entirely about the first season, but nobody spoils the ending.) Get excited! Intro 0:00 -- 16:49 Point Blank 16:49 -- 41:25 Songs The Lord Taught Us 41:25 -- 50:15 Prime Suspect 50:15 -- 1:24:47 Outro 1:24:47 --

The Immortals ·

2019/02/23

EVERYBODY SHUT UP. It's time for J.C. to see their first silent movie. And what a one to start with -- the Buster Keaton classic comedy, The General. The Immortals are amazed by Keaton's stunts and confused by the fact he's a Confederate soldier. They also enjoy the jazz music of Stan Getz and Charlie Parker--I MEAN Charlie Byrd. They also fall into the rhythms of Roy Brown and British hospital soap operas. Get excited! Into 0:00 -- 12:22 The General 12:22 -- 44:34 Jazz Samba 44:34 -- 51:17 Good

The Immortals ·

2019/02/14

One, two, Pedro's coming for you. Find out if The Immortals are more scared by A Nightmare on Elm Street or Pedro's enthusiasm for it. They also listen to the Congolese music of Koffi Olomide and the very 90s music of De La Soul. Then they get into the international spy story starring Daniel Craig....that is no where close to as good as any James Bond movie. Also J.C. is sick and that amuses us.

Hahahahaha! It's Robin Hood! Focus not on the crimes of Errol Flynn, but his natural charisma in The Adventures of Robin Hood. Ha ha! The Immortals (sans J.C.) dive back into the work of Leonard Cohen and are moderately creeped out by Dark Shadows. But it's during the song segment where everything changes forever. Find out why The Immortals had to stop recording and freak out. Intro 0:00 -- 15:03 The Adventures of Robin Hood 15:03 -- 41:07 The Songs of Leonard Cohen 41:07 -- 49:03 Save the Last

2019/01/31

Who's that over there? Is that Veronique? Or Weronika? There lies the complexity of the film The Double Life of Veronique. The Immortals dive into the films beauty and confusion while leaving plenty of time to continue that artistic relaxation to The Cardigans. Then it's time to get more emotional with 2Pac's tribute to his mother. Then it's time to get way less emotional with a deep dive into the first season of CW's The Vampire Diaries. Get excited!

Also they listen to the mysterious Terence Trent D'Arcy and the not at all mysterious Iron Maiden.

The Immortals ·

2019/01/18

In 1001 episodes, it's probably likely there will eventually be a musical episode of The Immortals. Not quite there yet, but we're close with reviews of Nashville, Butthole Surfers and David Bowie. It's a wide range of seeing the world through the illusion of the American dream, through the celebration of dance and through the Butthole Surfers. They also dive into the beloved show Gilmore Girls! Which has 100% less Butthole Surfers. Intro 0:00 -- 15:51 Nashville 15:51 -- 59:28 Locust Abortion

The Immortals have entered a new year! It's 2019 no matter what the co-hosts claim it is when they recorded this one. They're here to kick things off right which means spending a lot of time on a movie where Scarlett Johansson is a killer alien. They also listen to some smooth sounding music from Wild Beasts and Lily Allen. Austin watched six hours of The Crimson Field for a five minute segment. But most importantly, this was J.C.'s pick for a bonus review -- the Netflix food documentary Salt, Fat,

The Immortals ·

2018/12/27

In the last episode of 2018, it's time for all of the HOT TAKES about the 90s. Like maybe it's all garbage? First they look at the forgotten indie film, Smoke filled with some of the decade's best actors. Then they open their hearts to the vulnerability of Incubus. Then they learn it'll be okay with Macy Gray. Then the Australian dramedy ruins the thread by coming out in 2011 but it'll still get HOT TAKES. Stay tuned for the most shocking henge rating of all time.... NOTE: The crowd-sourced

The Immortals ·

2018/12/20

At any given moment, one of the Immortals are pulling a long con on the other one. (For example, Austin tricked them to do a 20 year podcast.) So everyone related really well to the Preston Sturges comedy, The Lady Eve. They also listened to Johnny Cash recording an album in prison, The Drifters walking down a street and one British man's take on all of civilization. I'm sure that won't go horribly wrong. Plus more True Crime Gays and finding out what's on Pedro's Chrome tabs! Get excited! Intro

The Immortals ·

2018/12/13

It's been over 100 episodes since The Immortals watched a film where Natalie Wood plays a damned teenager so they're past due! They watch Splendor in the Grass and then return to Pedro's childhood by listening to Aerosmith. They also figure out exactly where the Rocky Mountains are as they almost focus on John Denver and then Austin complains about how long Anzacs was. IT'S GOOD STUFF AND YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO ALL OF IT.

The Immortals ·

2018/12/10

Recently The Immortals talked about nice things like The Wizard of Oz. This is not like that. If you have not seen Audition, this is your last warning before we get into some of the really insane things that happen in this movie. Then they calm down with some Gotan Project and Goldfrapp before going right back into the visual torture that is Duck Dynasty. Get excited! Intro 00:00 -- 13:57 Audition 13:57 -- 44:24 La Revancha del Tango 44:24 -- 51:27 Strict Machine 51:27 -- 59:10 Duck Dynasty 59:10

Sometimes Thanksgiving dinner can feel like you're trapped in a room, unable to escape. But at least there is turkey. With The Exterminating Angel, the upper class are physically (mentally?) unable to leave a home and quickly start going mad. They could have calmed down by listening to some Dennis Wilson but they didn't. They could have felt motivated by listening to Slade BUT THEY DIDN'T. And if they wanted to feel even weirder about their circumstances they could have watched It's Garry

2018/11/19

Sorry, we're late but we were blown away from Kansas and this guy with a balloon took forever to offer us a ride. In a weird coincidence, we all reviewed The Wizard of Oz! We also listened to the Brazilian legend Caetano Veloso, we appreciated the return of Patsy Cline and then we told everyone around us that WE ARE NOT A NUMBER. Also we had some weird audio issues during the recording of this episode so there are some annoying wind sounds near the end. Austin was able to edit almost all of them

TAPED FROM CHICAGO IT'S THE IMMORTALS! We start the show from the poverty of Mexico City with Luis Bunuel's Los Olvidados, move on to the grosses realms of France with Serge Gainsbourg, return to America with Etta James (and briefly Beyonce) only to end the long journey at 30 Rock with the still running Saturday Night Live. Settle in, it's a doozy of an episode! Intro / Off the List 0:00 -- 16:13 Los Olvidados 16:13 -- 43:06 Histoire de Melody Nelson 43:06 -- 1:01:35 I'd Rather Go Blind 1:01:35
