Ep 4.15 - The Seventh Sign (Corpus Karen)

Z and Keith Watched A Movie ·

2023/04/15

Christ on sale! The airtight logic of biblical prophecy is brought into glaring living, breathing relief in this white bread, end times thriller. The Seventh Sign follows a very unremarkable middle-class white lady who is pregnant and married to a DA that is trying to get a person with Down syndrome off of death row for killing his incestuous parents. Meanwhile, Jesus moves in upstairs and the Roman officer that slapped him back in the day is hot on his heels. Make sense? What til you get to

Ep 4.14 - Little Witches (Craft, cheese & Illuminaughti)

Z and Keith Watched A Movie ·

2023/04/13

Easter is sure getting it's revenge on us with this one! Shot in 18 days and released straight to video to capitalize on the "occultsploitation" success of The Craft (1996) earlier that year, Little Witches holds the dubious honor of being the first feature with Clea Duvall and the last that Jack Nance shot. We won't insult you here by attempting a plot synopsis, you can watch the whole thing on youtube, should you dare. Make sure to bring some salt! +++++ Intro: by Professor

Ep 4.13 - The Long Good Friday (Harold and mobs)

Z and Keith Watched A Movie ·

2023/04/01

Welcome to Easter's revenge 2! Or more like 1.2 or "New Egginings" Or something. This film, besides being an excellent crime drama, turns out to be a great transition from Ireland to Easter. Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren absolutely dominate in this tale of a London crime boss looking to expand into new territory, a new decade, a global economy but quickly finds he's not in as much control as he believed. Could it be a allegory for late '70's England? See for yourself

Ep 4.12 - In Dreams (apple bothered screens, ruse...

Z and Keith Watched A Movie ·

2023/03/25

As the candy-colored clown they call March is pulled off stage by the Sandman, we bring you our final Neil Jordan film for the time being. In Dreams (1999) can hold it's own against most other 90's supernatural thrillers, plus it's got Jordan on it's side. Annette Benning flexes as an otherwise ordinary white, American, middle class woman who is haunted by dreams, visions, premonitions of little girls being kidnapped and a little boy drowning. Things escalate as our abductor takes her daughter and

Ep 4.11 - High Spirits (Banshees of Innit-shyte-then)

Z and Keith Watched A Movie ·

2023/03/18

Our most unfortunate entry in this most Irish of months comes to you just in time for St Patty's. Only our Neil Jordan himself knows the film that could have been without studio/executive mucking about. What we get instead is bizarre casting, confusingly placed slapstick and disorienting editing. Along the way we chat about our respective (lack of?) creative processes, the Scott brothers and Clint Howard. For more of Z talking about their Process, check out their solo podcast Imposter

Ep 4.10 - The Butcher Boy (Pig loose & Francie free)

Z and Keith Watched A Movie ·

2023/03/11

Happy Neil Jordan to you! This week we bring you a filim that Keith remembers watching at some point and the rest is conjecture. A movie based on a novel inspired by a real life mukduk, a possible anti-Boomer nostalgia piece, a impressionistic allegorical rumination on Ireland in the 1960s - all or none of this and more, it's 1997's The Butcher Boy. +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on Bandcamp Outro: Sinead O'Connor performing Call Me Joe --- Support this podcast:

Z and Keith Watched A Movie ·

2023/03/04

Top o the morning and welcome to March for Jordan! Our first entry in our look at the films of Neil Jordan is 1986's Mona Lisa. When newly released con George meets working girl Simone, it's love at first fight. Or is it?! A film with surprising and subtle complexity (and queerness; don't forget the queerness), we couldn't have picked a better place to begin. +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on Bandcamp Outro: Jyoti Mishra performing Your Woman 1917 --- Support this podcast:

Ep 4.07 - Jumpin' Jack Flash

Z and Keith Watched A Movie ·

2023/02/18

Oh hai! This week's entry is a movie that: almost was directed by the same person as My Girl and the "that's a spicy meatball" commercial; almost starred Shelly Long, Burt Reynolds, Sam Kinison and didn't have Jon Lovitz; was co-written by Rosa Diaz and Adrian Pimento's favorite romcom screenwriter. Yuuuuup, it's Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986). For your pleasure Keith monologues about the Iran/Contra affair, Z talks eyebrows, and we analyze the relative significance of old b&w movies that appear

Ep 4.06 - Set It Off

Z and Keith Watched A Movie ·

2023/02/11

This week we bring you another film in which John C McGinley plays a cop trying to catch some bank robbers. This time, instead of some white men doing it because their privilege has left them bored, it's four Black women doing it in an attempt to pull themselves out of cycles of oppression they were born into. Set It Off (1996), stars Jada Pinkett, Vivica A Fox, Queen Latifah, and Kimberly Elise with appearances by Blair Underwood, Dr. Dre, Charles Robinson, Thomas Jefferson Byrd and Mark Thompson

Hiya! This week we bring you the first installment in the House Party franchise. Starring Kid and Play, Tisha Campbell, A.J. Johnson, Martin Lawrence, Robin Harris, Full Force, and many, many more! An obvious classic in its sub-genres, this movie from the Hudlin brothers is packed with laughs, heart, amazing fashion and some serious dance moves.

2023/01/21

Hello from the other side! This week we bring you a movie that's been on our list since the inception of this pod. And boy is it.... unsatisfying. Despite the available star power -- Roberts, Neeson, Bateman -- this film has trouble finding its tone. But it may be goofy enough to watch anyway.

Is it a crime drama, is it about a surfing guru, is it about the emptiness of privilege?

2023/01/07

Happy New Year! To kick off 2023, we are discussing a film famous for its hackneyed premise which itself can be read as a metaphor for the worn to death tropes of preceding decade that are drug out one more time for this movie: Weekend At Bernie's (1989). We reminisce about some old tv commercials and get into it about cinnamon-flavored candy. What more could you ask for? Don't answer. +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on Bandcamp Outro: The Lion performing Death --- Support this

Oh boi-- Here we are closing out Dysfunctional December, 2022 AND season 3! And what a great film to do it with: 1997's The House of Yes! Parker Posey, Josh Hamilton, Freddie Prinz Jr, Tori Spelling and Genevieve Bujold deliver a tight adaptation of a play by Wendy MacLeod. Mark Waters and crew adroitly guide us through this contemporary take on Jacobean-style upper class drama.

2022/12/17

Seasons Greetings! Dysfunctional December may be at its peak with this 1998 ~quirky~ indie coming of age story written and directed by Tod Williams. With Adrian Grenier as the titular twit, co-starring Clark Gregg and with notable appearances by Merritt Weaver, Famke Jensen and Levon Helm, this film has trouble finding its direction, not unlike Sebastian.

Ep 3.50 - Men Don't Leave (post dad clarity)

Z and Keith Watched A Movie ·

2022/12/10

What a doozy! We very much enjoyed this one. You've got Jessica Lange, Arliss Howard, Carlie Korsmo, Kathy Bates, Chis O"Donnell in is big screen debut and of course, the charming enigma, the legend, the inimitable: Joan Cusack. When the patriarch of this painfully average, white, middle-class nuclear family suddenly dies, mom and sons have to cobble together a new life for themselves in the city. Oh, yeah, it's Men Don't Leave (1990). And it rules. Get some. ++++++ Intro: by Professor Ping

Welcome to the home stretch of 2022, dear listeners With good tidings, we bring you one of the most successful print-to-screen adaptations known to our kind. The second highest grossing film behind Jurassic Park for the year 1993. The movie that made Anne Fine a household name. Chris Colombus' favorite documentary. The celluloid fable that taught us "never buy gribenes from a Mohel." Mrs. Doubtfire You know it, we love to hate it, Keith had never seen it. So don your ambiguous British
