A deep dive into the filmography of one of the most energetic (and popular) filmmakers of all time leads the club watch the nihilistic anger scream Dangerous Encounters of the First Kind (1980) and the maximum fun blast that is Peking Opera Blues (1986) Justin...
Will and Justin tackle the myth, the legend, the god of pissing off directors. Do they have something new to say about a man most commonly called the 'Greatest Actor of All Time'? Lets be honest, they probably don't, but they're going to talk about their 'feelings'...
In anticipation of Batman V Superman, Justin and Will crumble to societal pressure and join 98% of the internet in discussing two dudes that love to punch each other. They watch Tim Burton's Batman and Richard Donner's Superman and break down why they work, what they...
Justin and Will take a deep dive into after-hours cinema with a watch of Radley Metzger's Camille 2000 and the GREATEST PORN FILM OF ALL TIME (so they hear). They discuss the genre as a whole, why it hasn't had a cross over hit in decades and promise to share some...

We discuss Elaine May's entire directorial oeuvre (a mere four films) and touch on her use of cringe comedy, the on-point brilliance of The Heartbreak Kid and the fact that Ishtar really isn't that funny. Plus, we sing a song. [soundcloud...
