The Dudes experiment with green serum in 1985's Re-Animator! This Fangoria favorite features acting above its weight class, incredible gore effects, and many unforgettable moments. We gush about all of these things, and also make some dick jokes. You'll never think of the word "head" in the same way!   Other movies discussed: Megalopolis (2024) - Directed by Francis Ford Coppola Teeth (2007) - Directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite 80s Horror Movies?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes start Horror Month with 1999's The Blair Witch Project, the Indie classic that invented a new genre.  Now, this strange episode features our normal discussion, but also strange noises, a blackout in our studio, Scott's thoughts on "Chucky 2", and Dave's head cold.  After listening, please read this Variety feature detailing the actors' experience.  You won't look at the movie the same way again. https://variety.com/2024/film/news/blair-witch-project-cast-robbed-financial-success-1236033647/      Other movies discussed: Bride of Chucky (1998) - Directed by Ronny Yu The People Under The Stairs (1991) - Directed by Wes Craven QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite independent Horror Movies?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes are "recording a podcast here boss" with 1967's Cool Hand Luke. As a progenitor of the American New Wave, this film brought new ideas and techniques to the world of filmmaking, and pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable on the silver screen. Like eating 50 eggs. Sounds like a nice round number.   Other movies discussed: Humanoids from the Deep (1980) - Directed by Barbara Peeters and Jimmy T. Murakami The Good Earth (1937) - Stuart Rosenberg QUESTION OF THE WEEK:  Are there specific sequences in movies that literally make you ill?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes aren't angora salesmen, they're in pictures, with 1994's Ed Wood, Tim Burton's deeply personal biopic about the infamous Grade Z filmmaker and his relationship and collaboration with Bela Lugosi.  It's hilarious, shot in stunning Black and White, and stands as an essential document of Hollywood History.  And remember...future events such as these will affect you...in the future...    Other movies discussed: Brief Encounter (1945) - Directed by David Lean Serial Mom (1994) - Directed by John Waters QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite modern Black and White films?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes experience fine dining in 2001's Hannibal. This highly anticipated sequel to "The Silence of the Lambs" could never live up to expectations, but that doesn't mean it lacks interesting ideas or quality craftsmanship. It just lacks about everything else. Still, the set pieces are absolutely wild, and Gary Oldman's performance as Mason Verger is something you'll never forget. If he had a moustache, he'd be twirling it between his nasty little fingers. Also, Hannibal can probably teleport.   Other movies discussed: Tammy and the T-Rex (1994) - Directed by Stewart Raffill The Bells of St. Mary's (1945) - Directed by  Leo McCarey QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite examples of a well-known character played by a different actor in a sequel?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes go silent for once in their lives with 1926's The General.  Buster Keaton's masterpiece about a courageous train engineer in The American Civil War is both essential viewing for cinephiles, and morally reprehensible.  We always welcome challenging films, and thankfully this one is so expertly crafted, you almost....you know what, no. It makes Southerners the heroes, and that part is indefensible.  Still, what a movie, everybody!       Other movies discussed: Alien : Romulus (2024) - Directed by Fede Alvarez Caged Heat (1974) - Directed by Jonathan Demme QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite silent movies?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes want to see a dead body in 1986's Stand By Me. This coming of age tale follows four friends on a journey where they unexpectedly grow as individuals, address past traumas, and gain reverence for things most adolescents ignore. It contains some of the best kid acting ever put to film, and is a nearly perfect experience. Pause this podcast and watch it now.   Other movies discussed: Affliction (1997) - Directed by Paul Schrader Angel (1984) - Directed by Robert Vincent O'Neil QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What movies do you remember watching with a babysitter?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes go topless in the jungle and get chased by one ugly.... with 1987's Predator.  Oft-quoted, oft-referenced, and oft-memed, this movie defines 80s excess, and still entertains almost 40 years later.  So air-arm-wrestle your best frenemy and paint stripes on your face for...an advantage?  Who cares, this is a damned good time.   Other movies discussed: Party Girl (1995) - Directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer Immaculate (2024) - Directed by Michael Mohan QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite movies featuring professional wrestlers?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes take a voyage of pure imagination in 1971's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. This children's fantasy favorite brings humor and adventure for all ages, with a sugary coating of social commentary. It's weirdly delightful and worth every second of your time, but if you want admission, you'll need a golden ticket.   Other movies discussed: The Doom Generation (1995) - Gregg Araki Going My Way (1944) - Leo McCarey QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your earliest memories of a book you read being made into a movie?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes warp to what they're told is the Mushroom Kingdom with 1993's Super Mario Bros.  Nintendo screened this film, saw what was done with their iconic game and characters, and left The Movie Business forever.  An extreme reaction, but a fair one.  This movie is really dumb everybody, but now and then that's how we like it.      Other movies discussed: Snake Eyes (1998) - Directed by Brian DePalma Civil War (2024) - Directed by Alex Garland QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What movies that you looked forward to were the biggest disappointments?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes' fear of separation culminates at a house party in 2007's Superbad. This crude high school comedy set a new standard for the genre, and is considered by many to be one of the best. It also showcases many talents before their rise to fame. So grab your fake ID and be careful who you dance with.   Other movies discussed: Longlegs (2024) - Directed by Oz Perkins Wicked Little Letter (2023) - Directed by Thea Sharrock QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Who are your least favorite cinematic police officers?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes are presented with tacos that might hold up in court with 2022's The Menu.  Do you despise the wealthy and the pretentious?  Then prepare yourself for roughly 100 minutes of massively creative frontier justice visited on people who are brand-new to consequences.  Do not eat.  Taste, savor, relish.  Then die with those who give.   Other movies discussed: Waking Ned Devine (1998) - Directed by Kirk Jones Quiz Show (1994) - Directed by Robert Redford QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite movies about food?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes head to summer camp in 2001's Wet Hot American Summer. This absurdist parody takes conventions from popular summer camp movies of the 70s and 80s and spins them on their head. It also features a who's who cast of actors that will keep you saying "Oh, they're in this?" Just be sure to keep your eyes on the sky.   Other movies discussed: Hour of the Wolf (1968) - Directed by Ingmar Bergman Knox Goes Away (2023) - Directed by Michael Keaton QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite movies about summer camp?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes aren't the guys you kill, they're the guys you buy, with 2007's Michael Clayton.  This well-acted, suspenseful, legal thriller is George Clooney at his smoldering best, while Tilda Swinton and Tom Wilkinson show you why they're two of the best to ever do it.  So curl up with a gripping Fantasy novel, and then irreparably embarrass your colleagues with this modern classic!      Other movies discussed: Caged (1950) - Directed by John Cromwell The Great Ziegfeld (1936) - Directed by Robert Z.

The dudes hold back their anger, unsuccessfully, with 2004's The Christmas Shoes. What do you get when you adapt a crappy song into a crappy book and then into a crappy movie? You get this. Rob Lowe learning it's okay to be an asshole as long as your wife accepts your apology. Good lord everyone. Just listen.     Other movies discussed: Persona (1966) - Directed by Ingmar Bergman Night of the Comet (1984) - Directed by Thom Eberhardt QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are some TV movies that you remember?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes head to the Dallas Territory with 2023's The Iron Claw. The Von Erichs captivated wrestling fans, and the tragedy of them dying so young and so needlessly is an important story that needed to be told.  And while you'll likely cry when you see this film, you'll somehow leave smiling too.  Sing it with us now: "I wanna live that waaaayyyy, forever...."       Other movies discussed: Little Odessa (1994) - Directed by James Gray Witness For The Prosecution (1957) - Directed by Billy Wilder QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What stories that interest you haven't yet been made into a movie?   Thanks for listening!
