The Hit (1984)
It’s time for one of the hippest, coolest, indie road trip gangster films you’re ever likely to see. Join the Cinephiles in going a little too deep into Stephen Frears’ 1984 cult classic The Hit. Starring Terence Stamp in a career-defining role, John Hurt as cinema’s most reptilian and mysterious hitman, and Tim Roth in his first big screen breakout. It’s a hitman movie, it’s a road trip movie, it’s an expat movie, it's a philosophical movie, and to top it off Laura Del Sol provides buxom sex appeal for this existential thrill ride through Spain. See why Chistopher Nolan named this one of his 10 favorite Criterion movies all time. And stay for the abundance of off-color jokes featuring a certain disgraced financier who shall remain nameless. The Cinephiles go where other podcasts won’t in bringing you the story and ethereal allure of THE HIT. John Smirk called...

The Holdovers (2023)
Alright all you rancid Philistines, hormonal Vulgarians and fetid Layabouts. It's time for the Cinephiles to dive deep and dirty into Alexander Payne's wintry tour de force The Holdovers. A movie that will change you just as it does our main character Mr. Hunham. Come bear witness to the motley crew of Paul Giamatti, Dominic Sessa and Davine Joy Randolph as they holdover for the holidays and go on a ramshackle journey of self-discovery. It's hilarious, heartwarming and full of exquisite vocabulary for the troglodytes in your life. A perfect movie for a cozy winter night and the Cinephiles will have you laughing around every corner of this all-too-human tale. Enjoy the ride and as always stay dirty!

Planet Terror (2007)
It's time for some crackling Grindhouse horror! The Cinephiles return with a vengeance! Join the guys as they delve into Robert Rodriguez's 2007 action horror comedy schlock fest PLANET TERROR. A movie that is NOT FOR EVERYONE but for those select few who like their movies dripping with sleaze, gloriously gory, hilariously campy and genuinely shocking. Whether it's a one-legged go-go dancer, the best damn BBQ cook in Texas, a very dysfunctional family of doctors, a sheriff whose comatose wife farts like a pack mule, a couple of crazy babysitter twins or the one who goes by...El Wray. This episode has it all and will leave you so full of grime and goo you'll need a shower afterwards. Proceed with caution and enjoy the moist discharge of pus from a pulsating abscess on the asymmetrical expanding head of a freshly infected zombie. We're gonna eat your brains and gain your knowledge!

Saint Jack (1979)
It's 5 o'clock somewhere. Time to delve into the seedy streets of Old Singapore with Ben frickin Gazzara for the all-time great expat movie Saint Jack. The atmosphere is breezy, the ladies are questionable, the CIA is lurking and the characters colorful. But underneath the carefree exterior lies something supremely human begging to be unearthed. Join us as we pick apart this underrated gem directed by Peter Bogdanovich and produced both by Roger Corman and Hugh Hefner. Yes THAT Hugh Hefner. Both of the Cinephiles have experienced the expat life in a significant way and bring hilarious stories and insights straight from the source. And you'll find out exactly what a Wang House is!

Sideways (2004)
Pour a glass of Pinot as the Cinephiles get philosophical and as irreverent as ever for Alexander Payne's 2004 road trip buddy drama booze fest Sideways. A week in wine country was never funnier than this. We go deep into the dark underbelly of midlife crises and mommy issues. We get existential with mortality, marital issues and Merlot. Our jokes age like fine wine as we explore Alexander Payne's filmography and contribution to cinema. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll go through your mom's undies drawer in search of cash. Get ready to go Sideways!

Ice Station Zebra (1968)
We're taking a nuclear submarine to the Arctic in John Sturges' 1968 hidden gem Ice Station Zebra. Rock Hudson, Patrick McGoohan, Jim Brown and Ernest Borgnine (hilariously playing a Russian) all pile into a submarine for a mysterious mission to Ice Station Zebra at the North Pole. Follow along as the cinephiles take you through this epic adventure yarn, tell you all about John Sturges' place in cinema, and make you laugh out loud with what they consider to be the salacious subversive subtext. It's one of our funniest episodes yet. Not for the faint of heart!
