Movie Roulette Tuesday: The Podcast ·

2025/06/17

Send us a text The Long Journey continues, and this time it must be considered a cult classic. And so, we take a trans-dimensional trip back in time to watch 1984's "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension," about a neurosurgeon-physicist-rock star and his posse, The Hong Kong Cavaliers, fighting a bunch of aliens all named John. Yeah, it's ridiculous. It received mixed reviewed upon its release, but for some, became a cult classic, still enjoyed to this day.&nb...

2025/06/03

Send us a text We close out our “Close Encounters” theme with Jordan Peele’s 2022 film Nope, about a pair of sibling horse trainers contending with a strange visitor hiding in the clouds above their ranch. The trainers are siblings, not the horses. Well maybe the horses are siblings too. You know what, it’s not important. Do we believe in aliens? How many kinds of close encounters are there? What are some of our favorite, and least favorite, movie aliens? All that and more a...

2025/05/27

Send us a text Once upon a time, not so long ago, this podcast had to explore the theme of Close Encounters, with the added shake-up that this week's pick must include a dance sequence. So we watched a movie FULL of dance sequences; 1948's "The Red Shoes", the story of a ballerina who had to choose between her commitment to ballet or her commitment to the man she loves. This film is loosely based on the fairy tale of the same name. We also delve into some intense fai...

Send us a text This week, we continue our Rebels With A Cause theme, with the added shake-up that the film must include a surprise cameo.

Send us a text We have a special surprise this week; MRT VIP listener and very good friend Andrew is back with us as a guest host! And we have provided him with his own shake-up for the Eyes Wide Open theme; his pick had to be based on a book. And so he chose the 1985 gem, "Brewster's Millions" starring Richard Pryor and John Candy.

Send us a text We are continuing our “Eyes Wide Open” theme along with the restriction that our film needs to originate from a country we haven’t been to yet on the podcast (cinematically speaking.) And so we travel to South Korea, to watch Park Chan Wook’s 2003 revenge film, “Oldboy.” We also explore the concept of revenge, and identify films that feature this theme.

Mulholland Drive

Movie Roulette Tuesday: The Podcast ·

2025/03/18

Send us a text We continue our Forgotten Dreams theme with the shake-up that it must be directed by an "auteur;" someone who is known for their distinct style. Who better to choose than the recently departed, and very unique, David Lynch? And so we enter the dream world of 2001's "Mulholland Drive" starring Naomi Watts, Laura Harring and Justin Theroux. This movie is quite the puzzle - it even comes with its own clues - but it can be solved and we all agreed that afte...

2025/02/04

Send us a text We continue our theme of “The Unseen” with the added shake-up that it must be genre-bending. And so we’re watching the very unique, and VERY low-budget sci-fi mystery, “Coherence.” It’s a little gem of a movie from 2013 with a relatively unknown cast and crew, revolving around a get-together with friends which takes a turn to the mind-bending after a comet passes overhead. We also discuss dinner parties, fighting on the moon and Schroedinger’s cat. And rememb...
