Our final episode for spooky season. And it’s technically a Christmas/New Years movie! This time head across the Atlantic to talk about Alex de la Iglesia’s THE DAY OF THE BEAST (aka EL DIA DE LA BESTIA).

Do you wanna be buried in a PET SEMATARY? Well, it’s time to relive the movie again, as we cover it for this week’s episode. Off the bat Raquel and Raphael have Ramones talk. Raquel philosophizes on Joey Ramone’s lyrics, and Raphael goes on about one of his favorite bands. Here’s a movie that seems like a bad execution of a good story. The acting i…

1+ y ago1:11:06

1:11:06

Its October and we all know what that means… HORROR MOVIES ARE BACK BAYBEEE. We’re kicking off this month with a stone cold classic, DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978… duh). Raquel admits that she finally appreciate horror movies now, and gets down with this one – it probably helps that her maiden name is Romero. Did Old George hit peak zombie metaphor with t…

Ep 63 - Isn't It Romantic 1:08:31

1+ y ago1:08:31

1:08:31

Its a rom-com kinda day with a conversation about ISN’T IT ROMANTIC. A lot of intro talk is spent on nostalgia and remakes, so it’s perfect to get into talking about this meta film that is a pastiche homage to the classic rom-coms of the 80s-00s. Raquel loves being able to catch the hyper specific references to particular films, while Raphael, admi…

1+ y ago1:18:57

1:18:57

This episode we look at the Cool Copaganda dystopian classic ROBOCOP.

This is a 1st watch for R…

1+ y ago1:13:17

1:13:17

This week we enter the wild reality of Pee Wee Herman and PEE WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE. Raphael was the perfect age to get obsessed with Pee Wee while Raquel was the perfect age to have to deal with kids’ obsession with Pee Wee at school. This was basically a first time watch for her and she absolutely fell in love with it! Tim Burton comes flying out t…

Ep 60 - The Apartment 1:17:49

1+ y ago1:17:49

1:17:49

Here’s one from the vault! A late Mother’s Day episode all about one of Raquel’s favorites, THE APARTMENT. Raphael realizes that they actually hadn’t ever seen this film all the way through before.

2y ago57:23

57:23

This week Raphael surprises Raquel by showing up at her house and taking her to see EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE, a movie she had never heard of until about an hour before she saw it.

Ep 57 - Sound of Metal 52:17

2y ago52:17

52:17

First things first, Raquel finally has a new house! Still, she had to run to the neighbors’ for wifi like some kind of millennial or zoomer.

She recounts her decades of working with people with hearing impairments to lau…

Ep 56 - Lady Bird 1:03:39

2y ago1:03:39

1:03:39

This week Raphael is all moody teen which is a perfect fit for the movie we’re discussing – LADY BIRD. First Raquel wonders why modern movies use pop music over orchestral music and learns about licensing. When it comes to the film everyone loves the realism and authenticity. Raphael loves that it lets a teenage girl act out this way on camera. Raq…

Ep 55 - Bringing Out the Dead 1:17:20

2y ago1:17:20

1:17:20

This week we hit one of the minor, though one of the best, Scorsese films BRINGING OUT THE DEAD. But before that Raquel is confused about the Peacock streaming service and needs some answers about that and the new J. Lo movie. But is BRINGING OUT THE DEAD one of Scorsese’s most Catholic films, or is more “spiritual?” Afterall, is was directed by a …

Ep 54 - District 9 1:04:21

2y ago1:04:21

1:04:21

Raquel throws some sci-fi into the mix with DISTRICT 9. First a little Oscar talk and Raphael getting well actually-ed by mom, and totally deserving it. This one of Raquel’s favorite sci-fi films while Raphael is left ujnimpressed after his first viewing. Is metaphor of extraterrestrial alien as refugee/national alien clever or too obvious? Can a m…

Ep 53 - Donnie Darko 1:02:50

2y ago1:02:50

1:02:50

This week we turn Raquel goth with DONNIE DARKO. First though we talk about updates to movies we previously covered. But it looks like Raquel has a new Halloween movie to add to her favorites list.

Ep 52 - The Producers w/ Harmony Colangelo 1:05:10

2y ago1:05:10

1:05:10

Part 2 of The Wives Colangelo! This week were joined by Harmony Colangelo to talk about THE PRODUCERS (2005) – but of course the conversation covers the original 1968 film as well. Nathan Lane is Americas favorite Theatre Gay! Raphael isnt sure how well the film musical adapted the stage musical – which he admits to never have seeing. Hmm. So why d…

2+ y ago1:18:37

1:18:37

Its our 50th episode! And to celebrate we have guest B.J. Colango on to talk about the problematic fav, PUMPKIN. Raquel would have walked out in the first 15 minutes if she saw this in the theatre.

Ep 49 - Forrest Gump 1:46:37

2+ y ago1:46:37

1:46:37

Our biggest episode yet, and the one this entire podcast was built to cover. This week we talk FORREST GUMP. This is the Baby Boomer wiki entry as a film. Raphael considers it a dangerously conservative movie, and Raquel actually doesnt fully disagree. Theres talk about CCR being in every Vietnam War movie, comparisons to the proto-fascist films of…

Ep 48 - Last Night In Soho 1:11:36

2+ y ago1:11:36

1:11:36

Raquel decided to brave the night all alone, so this week we cover LAST NIGHT IN SOHO. Raphael loves it’s impressionistic giallo vibes – that this is Charlotte Sometimes but as a mod giallo. Raquel is confused by the last act, but loves the 60s music and fashion & is incredibly impressed by the production design. Raphael draws comparisons to both H…

Ep 47 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit? 1:13:50

2+ y ago1:13:50

1:13:50

This week we talk about the greatest film about corrupt mid-20th century L.A. municipal politics & public utilities, WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? This is Raquel’s 1st watch since taking Raphael to see in the theatre when he was 6. Raquel gets nostalgic for the cartoons of her youth. The use of cartoons as stand-ins for minorities is absolutely clever. …

1
Ep 46 - Chinatown 1:26:28

2+ y ago1:26:28

1:26:28

After a year of podcasting we finally get to one of our original picks, CHINATOWN. Is this Jack Nicholson’s last role before he only did impressions of himself on screen? Does CHINATOWN have the best script ever written? We have another Film Noir 101 lesson for Raquel. Yes, this is a retro neo-noir, but its also a Watergate-era political conspiracy…

Ep 45 - The People Under The Stairs 59:44

2+ y ago59:44

59:44

Its Halloween!! In honor of the holiday we cover one of Raphael’s all-time favs, THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS. Raquel isnt sure what to make of this films mix of horror, camp, & exploitation. Is this an urban HOME ALONE? Is this the ur-text for Jordan Peele’s GET OUT? Raphael admits that it actually scared him as a kid & Raquel almost stopped watchi…

1
Ep 44 - Wait Until Dark 1:02:02

2+ y ago1:02:02

1:02:02

We continue our apartment horror discussion this week with WAIT UNTIL DARK. Raphael makes the case for this being not being a thriller but horror, & Raquel seems to agree. We can also mark this as another film that terrified her when it first came out. And isnt Alan Arkin just the coolest looking creep in this?? For a movie with no special effects …

Ep 43 - Rosemary's Baby 1:15:27

2+ y ago1:15:27

1:15:27

Ep 42 - Strait-Jacket 50:18

2+ y ago50:18

50:18

Madness, axe-murder, & Joan Crawford! What more could you want?! This week we talk about one of scariest movies from Raquel's youth, STRAIT-JACKET. Raphael absolutely cannot understand how this film could have ever scared anyone, so mom has to put him in his place and contextualize it back to 1964. William Castle gets his due, as does the Grand Dam…

1
Ep 41 - The VVitch 1:16:47

2+ y ago1:16:47

1:16:47

We decided to podcast deliciously this week and talk about the modern American folktale, THE VVITCH. Immediately Raquel & Raphael refuse to agree on the crimes committed. Yet beginning a film at the end of a trial seems to do it well. Is the family punished by the sins of the father? Or does each individual member have their own to atone for? Is th…

1
Ep 40 - Malignant 57:26

2+ y ago57:26

57:26

Spooky season is just around the corner, so were starting a little early with MALIGNANT. Raquel had to go see a daytime screening cause she was afraid but ended up finding some campy fun. It was a treat seeing what happens when multi-billion grossing director James Wan gets carte blanche from a studio. Is MALIGNANT a (neo)giallo or not? Also Raquel…

1
Ep 39 - Serpico 1:24:38

2+ y ago1:24:38

1:24:38

We take a second shot at our SERPICO episode! This film could be made right now & still be equally compelling. Raquel sees the death of idealism in the growth of Serpico. Raphael compares the lone wolf justice element of SERPICO to it’s comtemporary, DEATH WISH. Raquel, on the other hand, sees it doubling SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. At least there’s agre…

1
Ep 38 - Candyman 1:25:02

2+ y ago1:25:02

1:25:02

Before we summon CANDYMAN theres a discussion about the current state of theatrical vs. streaming film distribution. But then we say his name. So is 2021 a better sequel or reboot? Raquel had to rewatch 1992 to understand 2021 better. We agree that this is an aggressively Chicago centric film that does a great job of fictionalizing the horrors of r…

1
Ep 37 - Respect 1:37:30

2+ y ago1:37:30

1:37:30

Time for a little RESPECT! WE hit the ground running with the boomer vs millenial takes on this one. Is this a good movie, outside of Jennifer Hudson’s great performance & the eternal draw of Aretha Franklin’s music? Is RESPECT a good music biopic in a post-WALK HARD world? Is this just a mirror of BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY? What makes a good biopic? How h…

1
Ep 36 - Old 1:13:10

2+ y ago1:13:10

1:13:10

Finally, our episode that makes you OLD! Raquel tells personal stories about her vacations. Is this a film a failed scary movie or a campy Twilight Zone-esque story? We talk about the great use of framing and hiding things off screen that are turning old. Shymalan really gives the children full characterization and agency in this movie. Raquel appr…

1:04:42

Pig! This week we talk trauma, food, pets, and Nic Cage in our talk about the brilliant new movie, PIG. Raquel causes a disruption her 1st time back to the theatre since Covid lockdown.

Ep 33 - Magic w/ April Wolfe 57:18

3y ago57:18

57:18

Since we can’t stop podcasting for 5 minutes we decided to discuss MAGIC with screenwriter April Wolfe. Raquel explains why she did re-watch this for decades. April talks about why she likes films directed by actors, & how this one kept from going full camp. The various MAGICs that could have been are analyzed. How Ann-Margaret rules even in this m…

3y ago1:07:07

1:07:07

While you might not be able to dust for vomit, you can definitely podcast about THIS IS SPINAL TAP. This week we’re joined by the editor of heavyhorror.com, & metalhead encyclopedia, Breanna Whipple.

Ep 31 - Greta w/ Anna Jo Beck 1:05:58

3y ago1:05:58

1:05:58

After some unexpected time off, we're back!! And this week we pick up the purse & ride the exploitation train with GRETA, with guest, artist & zinester, Anna Jo Beck. How wild is it that Isabelle Huppert is in this quintessential B-film? How wild is it that Raquel didnt know who Isabelle Huppert was until this episode? How amazing was Huppert that …

Ep 30 - It Happened One Night 1:04:13

1:04:13

This time around the Martinez family takes on Frank Capra’s 1934 screwball classic, IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT. Raquel is excited to talk about one of her fav movies by one of her fav directors. Raphael wonders why so many Depression era films focused on class fantasy escapism. Are people today more resigned to their social status so they escape into su…

Ep 29 - The Decline of the Western Civilization w/ Giorgio Angelini 1:14:17

3y ago1:14:17

1:14:17

This week Raquel takes Punk Rock 101 with THE DECLINE OF THE WESTERN CIVILIZATION and our guest, film producer, Giorgio Angelini. She sure doesnt like whats going on here – she is genuinely shocked. But is the overt offensiveness just schtick? The forced edginess of these ‘70s/’80s punk seems similar to 4chan trolls. Why did the director choose to …

Ep 28 - Ladies & Gentlemen... The Fabulous Stains w/ Katie Rife 55:48

3y ago55:48

55:48

This week we don’t put out! Well actually, were putting out a podcast about LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FABULOUS STAINS with A/V Club writer Katie Rife.

Ep 27 - Fight Club w/ Alonso Duralde 59:16

3y ago59:16

59:16

This week we have critic, author, & podcaster Alonso Duralde to talk about David Fincher’s 1999 confusing/confused cult favorite. Alonso talks about why this is a must-see queer film. Raphael discuss being the target demographic for the film when it came out and lo…

Ep 25 - After Hours with Mary Houlihan 1:09:16

3y ago1:09:16

1:09:16

This week we take a cab ride to NYC’s SoHo neighborhood and get trapped with Mary Houlihan in Martin Scorcese’s 1985 black comedy, AFTER HOURS. Raquel isn’t sure whether to laugh or to be terrified. Mary’s reminded of the cringe-comedy style of MEET THE PARENTS. This is a movie absolutely could not be made today, not because of content, but because…

3y ago1:19:48

1:19:48

3y ago50:26

50:26

A lost episode from the vaults! This one was recorded early in the podcast's history, but got lost in the shuffle somewhere along the way! Raquel picks one of her all-time favorite comfort films and spiels about how she loves the running gags, how Marisa Tomei absolutely deserved her Oscar for this film, & the film's relevance to actual court cases…

Ep 21 - Juno 1:07:21

3y ago1:07:21

1:07:21

Raquel picks the 2007 indiewood smash JUNO this week. It’s one of her more recent feel good movies. She loves the dialogue & the characters. Raphael finds those exact things annoying, after loving the film on it’s release. Raquel is emotionally moved & loves Michael Cera. Is Juno looking for a father figure in Jason Bateman, or being flirtatious? R…

3y ago58:11

58:11

Here we go, the first film where the Martinez family is truly in opposite corners. 2004’s CRASH, A film that’s catnip to Boomers & an offensive joke to millennials. Raquel believes this film should be taught in high school while Raphael thinks it’s post-racial bullshit. Raquel loves the nuance of the film’s characters whereas Raphael thinks everyon…

Ep 17 - High Fidelity 49:08

3y ago49:08

49:08

This week is Raquel’s surprise pick, 2000’s HIGH FIDELITY. It seems that both Raquel and Raphael agree that while being a great Chicago film, it might not be that good of movie altogether. Perhaps not even the best adaptation of a Nick Hornby story. Raquel wonders why Raphael loved it so much when it first came out, and Raphael explains how he had …
