  • Escape From L.A.
    May 1 2024

    Chris and Joel wrap up their Kurt Russell season by putting The Thing into Escape from L.A.

    They started in New York and they're ending in La La Land! (Not the musical.) Is this the last good John Carpenter film, or was that the one before this? And can they now provide the definitive take on Kurt Russell's career?

    Chris has a new way to analyse film quality based on background actors. Joel recounts his time in Mega City One. And we reveal Snake Plissken's actual name! I mean you could google it yourself, but you may has well let us tell you first.

    Please subscribe, and review the show wherever you can! And if you know how Cuervo Jones managed to tap into the VR master data bank, let us know on Instagram or Facebook.

  • Fast & Furious 7 with Ross Boyask
    Apr 3 2024

    Joel and Chris are joined by filmmaker Ross Boyask (I Am Vengeance: Retaliation) to help put The Thing into the Fast and Furious universe.
    Why did they come in at number 7? Family. And because it's the first one Kurt Russell is in! But they dip into the whole franchise and come to some amazing, baffling conclusions!
    Joel compares the franchise to My Little Pony. Chris explains why he forced all his friends to see a film he was pretending to love and ended up loving it anyway. Ross questions Deckard Shaw's healthcare related decisions.
    And can Chris and Ross correctly guess the real Dominic Toretto lines?

    Ross Boyask's films I Am Vengeance and I Am Vengeance: Retaliation are available to rent on all major platforms.
