2024/06/17

The Dank Diplomat Ngaio Bealum is back on OMFYS and he's picked a pair of movies to get high to from Criterion Channel's current series HOLLYWOOD CRACK-UP: THE DECADE AMERICAN CINEMA LOST ITS MIND. First, LEE MARVIN is punching dudes in the nuts and throwing them out of high-rise windows all to get his $93,000 back in POINT BLANK (1967). It's heavy on the testosterone but has lots of psychedelic and French New Wave touches from then-young director JOHN BOORMAN, who went on to make some of the

Bret Berg from the Museum of Home Video and the American Genre Film Archive joins us and he has chosen a pair of made for TV movies ranging from 70s horror to 1990s ripped-from-the-headlines true crime. Our first feature is GARGOYLES (1972) one of the many TV terrors that scarred Gen-Xer childhoods. Cornel Wilde and Jennifer Salt are a father-daughter team of occult researchers who discover a race of living gargoyles in the caves of New Mexico.

It's been delayed, but IT COULD NOT BE STOPPED. The PhileApocalypse is here!!! The episode where Philena takes over and subjects the OMFYS olds to MORE RECENT FILMS--movies from this century even! Can they take it?!? The answer may surprise you. First, Philena goes easy on the geezers with BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER (1999)--an actual good movie! Is such a thing possible??? Natasha Lyonne is Megan, a cheerleader whose love of Melissa Etheridge and tofu convinces her god-fearing parents (Mink Stole and

The PhilenApocalypse has been postponed! While Philena ain't too thrilled with this development, we were able to keep our already inconsistent schedule with this Howard Hawks double feature, which is like a PhilenApocalypse prequel because her contrarian take on Howard Hawks' screwball classic BRINGING UP BABY (1938) is what landed her on OMFYS. In short, she hates it--AFI Top 100 or no. Because of this, Bob programmed two wildly-different films from the versatile Hawks' filmography, and with wildly

S3E4 Kaiju Unite w/ Son of Godzilla (1967) and Destroy All Monsters (1968)With GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE upon us, we salute the Big G himself, GODZILLA, with a pair of his movies made a year apart from each other, that show his tremendous range. First, the radioactive mutant dinosaur tackles family comedy in SON OF GODZILLA (1967), the "Courtship of Eddie's Father" of kaiju movies. But unlike so many movie and TV single dads, Godzilla has to rear young Minya while battling overgrown

2024/03/11

There are lots of bonkers classics on Criterion Channel right now and we wanted to pair pot with them before they show up on that "Leaving Criterion Channel" list in an episode we call "WHAT THE FUCK CRITERION." First up is THE DEVILS (1971), Ken Russell's masterpiece of blasphemy, demonic possession and religious persecution in 17th Century France. Oliver Reed is Urbain Grandier, an impossibly hot Jesuit priest, and Vanessa Redgrave is Sister Jeanne des Anges, a delusional nun who claims that she

2024/02/13

Mike Lisk AKA AP Mike of The Best Show and co-host of his own Egg Foo What?! podcast takes us INTO THE MARLOWEVERSE with a pair of very different portrayals of Raymond Chandler's cynical gumshoe Philip Marlowe.Mike's choice, MURDER MY SWEET (1944), is one of the first examples of film noir, and its success--along with DOUBLE INDEMNITY from the same year--added the spark that set off late 40s film noir explosion. It's also a way stoney and a total gateway drug to classic cinema with its snappy

We are back from our break for our SEASON 3 PREMIERE!!! Hey! We've lasted longer than most Netflix shows! To kick off 2024, we are celebrating Criterion Channel's wonderful CAT COLLECTION for our CAT EPISODE! Cats rule the Internet, and this podcast is on the Internet, so kitty cats rule us as well. We pair cannabis with the Czech New Wave weirdness of THE CASSANDRA CAT (1963) and the existential 50s sci-fi dread of THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN (1957) from CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON director

S2E8 - The Lost Barbie Episode w/ Muscle Beach Party (1964) & Back to the Beach (1987) In our #Noivember Rain episode, we promised that you'd have a Barbie under your tree for Christmas and here she is! Now that the SAG AFTRA strike is finally over, we can finally post THE LOST BARBIE EPISODE without getting Philena in trouble as Warner Bros' BARBIE was definitely a struck work back when. We did not trim this episode down so you can hear how much the OMFYS crew underestimated the power of pink in

The Czar of Noir Eddie Muller joins us for our epic SEASON 2 FINALE. Eddie takes time out of his busy #Noirvember to chat about his new book NOIR BAR: COCKTAILS INSPIRED BY THE WORLD OF FILM NOIR and his even newer hardboiled kid's book, KITTY FERAL AND THE CASE OF THE MARSHMALLOW MONKEY. He also tells an amazing story about ELLIOT GOULD from the just-concluded TCM Cruise that you won't want to miss + insights into Kim Novak and Ernest Dickerson (DP of DO THE RIGHT THING, MALCOLM X) from the Cruise

Halloween is only a few days away so we've got horror romps from a pair of carnival hucksters. First, William Castle--the King of the Gimmicks--is back on OMFYS with his ghostly masterpiece HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL from 1959. Vincent Price is back in this one as an eccentric millionaire (please tell me there's no other kind) who offers $10 thousand to a handpicked group of desperate people. What can go wrong??? Of course, there are ghosts, skeletons and gorilla hands galore in the ultimate Halloween

Philena Franklin is back but she's still on strike with SAG AFTRA so we've got some PUBLIC DOMAIN ZOMBIES for our first of two special HALLOWEEN episodes! First, we have rights-free ghouls invading a Ralph's in Burbank in MESSIAH OF EVIL (1974) from Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, the forgotten Lucasfilm power couple who later brought you HOWARD THE DUCK (1986). After really getting disturbing letters from her artist father, a young woman named Arletty (Marianna Hill) goes to the creepy coastal town

San Francisco movie and media critic Pam Grady joins us and she finally brings Westerns into OMFYS with ZACHARIAH (1971), a homoerotic oater starring John Rubenstein and a very young Don Johnson as star-crossed gunslingers who just can't quit each other on their road to hippy-dippy enlightenment. Billed as "The First Electric Western," Country Joe & the Fish, the James Gang and the New York Rock Ensemble show up with their late-1960s Gibson guitars and Fender stacks even though everything else about

S2E10 - The Music Business w/ All Night Long (1962) & King Creole (1958) Independent filmmaker Floyd Webb joins us once again for a pair of classic near-noirs that show that the music business was scammy and sleazy long before Spotify, but it was maybe a little cooler when you had Walter Matthau in a smoke-filled backroom plotting how to screw the talent. First, we've got Charles Mingus on bass, Dave Brubeck on keys and Patrick McGoohan from THE PRISONER (!) on drums--and he's really playing those

Podcaster, pop-culture writer and three-time and reigning Ms. Noir City AUDRA WOLFMANN joins us to talk about defending her Ms. Noir City crown, and one of her favorite sub-genres: Beatsploitation. We kick things off with Seijun Suzuki's psychedelic yakuza noir, TOKYO DRIFTER (1966). This isn't Beatsploitation per se, but there are plenty of dudes in mod suits and the film is so incomprehensible that it's gotta be poetry man. Plus it's got jazz, rock and roll, 60s bubblegum pop, and haunting

In addition to covering film and TV for New York Magazine, serving as editor-at-large for RogerEbert.com, and running a bookstore and publishing company out of his house with MZS.press, Matt is a bit of a gorilla movie enthusiast going back to the 1976 KING KONG and an episode of WONDER WOMAN with a sci-fi Nazi gorilla.

Bob, Cory, Philena and Greg are back for the first time this season! Yes. This is only S2 episode with all the OMFYS co-hosts. Greg hasn't been here since our season premiere, but Cory wasn't around for that one, and the Psychedelic Kaiju ep had no Franklins whatsoever. We did get a little chatty with the joyous reunion and all, and our movies this time gave us a lot of psychological baggage to unpack, so this ep is, um, expansive. However, Cory tells Bob that "people really like long podcasts," so

Philena Franklin returns for our National Women's History Month episode. Yes, Old Movies for Young Stoners has been a real sausage fest with nothing but films directed by MEN, so, like much of corporate America, we decided to rectify that for at least one episode with our salute to the work of women directors. First, we go to France for CLEO FROM 5 TO 7 (1962), a masterpiece from Agnès Varda, the mother--or grandmother--of the French New Wave. The film is told nearly in real time as an up-and-coming
