  • Special Announcement!
    Jul 15 2024

    Just poking our heads back in for a moment during our summer break to let you know about some big things happening over at TSLP headquarters. The first is that Nathan and Dustin are starting a brand-new limited series podcast about the 1995 cult classic Showgirls from Paul Verhoeven where they’ll be discussing everything from Nomi’s bizarre diet to the insane sequel (yes, there’s a sequel) and everything in between. You can hear a preview of what that will sound like in this episode.

    But where can you hear this exciting new show? That’s the second announcement: we have a Patreon now! For one single dollar per month, you’ll get access not only to Showguys (isn’t that just such a great title?) but all the previous bonus episodes and content we’ve released in the past as well as in the future – watchalongs, reviews of movies/TV shows separate from the main feed, fan interactive polls, bracket tournaments, and so much more. Not to mention all the other spinoff shows we have planned for you. Don’t want to spend the $1 per month? No worries – there’s plenty of other free goodies we’ll be posting there, so sign up for the free version today!

  • Episode 182: Oppenheimer
    Mar 18 2024

    As we close up shop on Season 7, we could not leave without talking about arguably the biggest movie of 2023. With 7 Oscars and an unfathomable amount of other prestigious awards, Oppenheimer is a once in a lifetime opportunity (or Oppentunity, if you will.) Christopher Nolan has finally unleashed Cillian Murphy to his fullest potentials, and Nolan's directing capabilities and Murphy's acting powers are both truly staggering. While 2023 was an amazing year for films, there was none better than this cautionary tale about the horrors we face and the guilt we carry regarding nuclear war. So put on your wide brimmed hat and light up that cigarette as we discuss this absolute masterpiece. We'll also reminisce over Barbenheimer, deliberate on virtual international disarmament in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, break down the ad sponsored collapsible room for American schools, and a ton (20,000 tons, to be precise) more. And we'll give you the rundown on upcoming bonus episodes in our off season, our thoughts on the 2024 Oscars, and a note about when to look for Season 8.

    Thank you so, so much for making this season a truly fantastic one!

    Oppenheimer stars Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Benny Safdie, Michael Angarano, Josh Hartnett, Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh, Dane DeHaan, Dylan Arnold, David Krumholtz, Alden Ehrenreich, Matthew Modine, Gary Oldman, Alex Wolff, Casey Affleck, Jack Quaid, Emma Dumont, Matthias Schweighöfer, David Dastmalchian, Christopher Denham, Josh Peck, Tony Goldwyn, Olivia Thirlby, and James Remar. Directed by Christopher Nolan.

  • Episode 181: Shin Godzilla (with JT Kelly and Michael Moss)
    Mar 11 2024

    Before Minus One got all the love and admiration it so rightfully deserved, there was another Godzilla movie not so long ago that really stomped its way into the hearts of millions. So after 180 episodes of the show, we're finally discussing the one, the only, the King of the Monsters (but not that movie.) We're of course talking about Godzilla, but not just any Godzilla movie; it's the 2016 masterclass in satire that is Shin Godzilla. What would it look like from a bureaucratic standpoint to actually try and stop a kaiju attack? This film shows exactly how it would (probably) go down. But that's not to say it doesn't have some incredibly shocking and horrific imagery that any kaiju lover would be sure to appreciate. So prepare your uniform and make sure your ramen doesn't get soggy as we talk about that truly wild face reveal of Gojira, plus the sensual world of commemorative popcorn buckets, the United States edging with its nuclear weapons, and creating a kaiju just for America. All of that and more with returning guests Michael Moss and JT Kelly, plus we'll spin the wheel to decide which film will have the honor of being our Season 7 finale episode next week.

    Shin Godzilla stars Hiroki Hasegawa, Mikako Ichikawa, Satomi Ishihara, Yutaka Takenouchi, Kengo Kora, Matsuo Satoru, Kazuo Takahashi, and Kanji Tsuda. Directed by Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi.
