  • 272 Analyze This 1999
    Jun 11 2025

    Billy Crystal is a psychiatrist. Robert DeNiro is a mobster who has panic attacks. Together they make mental health and murder go together. And yes, the plot here is the same premise as the beloved HBO TV show, The Sopranos which also premiered in 1999. Coincidence? Who knows. The boys aren’t going to analyze that. They are going to analyze this.

  • 271 Polyester (1981) Guest Mark Cannistraro
    Jun 4 2025

    Did you know polyester is derived from petroleum? Were you aware it’s wrinkle and shrink resistant? It’s also bad for the environment and releases microplastics? What’s that got to do with this movie that’s a parody of melodramas from the 1950s? Nothing. But this is the boys first John Waters movie for the pod. They’re joined by John Waters fanboy Mark Cannistraro to further the conversation.

  • 269 Eraserhead 1977
    May 21 2025

    In heaven everything is fine but can the same be said for this movie? This is the story of a man who knocks up his girlfriend and enters an unhappy marriage. The twist? The film is directed by David Lynch so nothing about it is that straight forward. Join the boys as they discuss.

    Mel Gibson, Hollywood’s version of Elon Musk, stars in this movie about a man who loses his faith and then gets it back. Of course, he loses his religion for the same exact reason he had one. Because the script says so, that’s why! Join the boys as they discuss.

  • 267 Close Encounters of the Third Kind 1977
    May 7 2025

    The first kind is unidentified flying objects. The second kind is finding some sort of physical evidence. But this? This is the third kind. And those aren’t the answers the boys need. The answer they need to know is if this movie still works.
