Each week we bring on a friend, from lifelong to brand new, to talk about their favorite* movie. We like to talk about why our favorites are our favorites, what they make us think and what they make us feel. I can't promise a lack of spoilers (let's face it; there will be spoilers!), but we're much more into what movies mean to us personally. We talk about favorites because we want to explore how movies affect us so deeply. One thing I've always found is that even those who don't think of themselves as movie fans have a favorite movie and have a lot to say about it!

Join writer and critic Scott Gold and I as we discuss the postmodern Spike Jonze flick Being John Malkovich. Scott goes deep on this one, on both the film itself and the tradition behind it. We have a ton of fun with it, as well.
It's our first new (well newish) release episode! Past guest Daniel Sovich texted me earlier this week to let me know that he was obsessed with Obsession and that we had to record on it ASAP. I dutifully got my ticket, and we sat down just this past Thursday to break it down.Daniel is a heckuva songwriter and musician, based in Nashville. Check him out!Daniel's YouTube Channel
We're heading to Hawaii!!! Well, at least the characters are heading to Hawaii. We just get to jealously gawk at them in paradise. It's the incomparable (because who would we compare to him to) Jeff Elizardi returning to the show to talk Forgetting Sarah Marshall. We have a lot of fun with this movie, highlighting what makes the comedy and the characters tick. There also is an important message partway through about certain people who are no longer allowed to listen to the show. You better check to see whether you've made the cut.
Director/Writer/Actor/Friend Graham Skipper joins me to talk The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, his hands-down favorite film. Saying that Graham knows his stuff on this one is the understatement of the year. He not only eloquently describes what he loves about this gritty 70's indie horror but also fills us in on its production history and its place in the world of horror.
It's ScottLucius Wilder, filmmaker and chef, joining me today to talk about 80's horror classic Christine.Scotty goes deep on knowledge of 80's movies, John Carpenter, techniques, and well, pretty much everything. We also had a blast making this one. I hope it's half as fun to listen to.Check out Scotty's incredible shorts on his his Instragram @scottluciuswilderredux
My brother and fan favorite (seriously, people seem to love his previous episode though I can't imagine why) Jeffrey Glaser joins us again on an EMERGENCY episode to talk Top Gun's 40th Anniversary Re-release. Jeff has some thoughts about how ruthlessly the Oscars treated the best popcorn flick ever made, and he shares many of them. He wanted to share all of them, but I didn't have 57 hours of recording time to spare. Strap up for this ride into the Glaser Zone!
The setting? Post-war occupied Vienna. The story? A racketeer, his friend, his woman, penicillin, and death. The actors? Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, and Orson Welles. The director? Oscar winner Carol Reed.It's The Third Man: suspense, anxiety and a shocking amount of great comedy. Join us.
We're off to see Lebowski, the wonderful hippie of Oz! Jacob Eben, post-production pro and essayist, joins us to talk about his love of the Coen Brothers, the importance of sound in the mediums of movies and television and, of course, his take on The Big Lebowski, which has a lot to do with a certain 1939 technicolor marvel.Jacob has worked on shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm, Black Bird and Perry Mason, so he knows what he's talking about, and he brings his experience to the discussion in an approachable way.
