Show notes
In the debut film from Damian McCarthy (director and writer of "Oddity" and "Hokum"), a drifter suffering from partial memory loss accepts a job to look after a psychologically disturbed woman in a house on a secluded island. The catch? He has to wear a special vest with a long chain secured in the basement of the spooky house.After the wonderful depth and creepiness of "Oddity", we wanted to watch more Damian McCarthy movies. With a creepy setting, fantastic acting, twists and spooky imagery, this is one left one of us deeply terrified to the point they had to finish it out during the day. Which one of us was so spooked?

"No Translation Needed" (2006)
Show notes
After a long career, the final piece of Michael Cimino's career is the short film "No Translation Needed" (part of an anthology that came out in 2006). We probably shouldn't have bothered. This episode and this short amount to nothing.#michaelcimino #notranslationneeded #shortfilm #youtubeshort #podcast

Sunchaser (1996)
Show notes
"Sunchaser" follows millionaire oncologist Dr. Michael Reynolds (Woody Harrelson) who's living a life of luxury in Los Angeles when he is assigned to young cancer patient Brandon Monroe (Jon Seda), a violent former gang member with nothing but contempt for the doctor. Monroe, who is part Cherokee, gets hold of a gun, kidnaps Reynolds and forces him to go to an Arizona reservation, where he thinks a lake's healing powers will cure him. Their journey is fraught with danger but leads to insights for both men.With a hot script from Charles Leavitt, this marks the end of movies for the once masterful Michael Cimino. He came in hot with "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot", wowed everyone with "The Deer Hunter", destroyed the auteur movement with "Heaven's Gate" and burned people and his flame from there on out. Is "Sunchaser" bad? Did it get an unfair turn from critics? Do Jon Seda and Harrelson turn in interesting performances? Can you see what seemed to make the script a hot commodity?

Desperate Hours (1990)
Show notes
With the help of his defense lawyer (Kelly Lynch), who is madly in love with him, psychotic killer Michael Bosworth (Mickey Rourke) escapes prison and goes on the run with his brother (Elias Koteas) and his partner in crime (David Morse). Killing time before his lawyer can meet up with them, the three invade the home of Tim (Anthony Hopkins) and Nora Cornell (Mimi Rogers), a bickering couple on the brink of divorce. Now the couple must fight to save their marriage, and their lives.Clearly drawing on Alfred Hitchcock, Michael Cimino makes his first thriller in this remake of a classic Humphrey Bogart film. How does he fare? Why does he keep casting Mickey Rourke? How could a movie with this cast (and Elias Koteas WITH HAIR) not snag an audience?

The Sicilian (1987)
Show notes
Salvatore Giuliano (Christopher Lambert) steals money from the wealthy and gives the funds to the downtrodden in his native Sicily. As word of Salvatore's work spreads and he becomes beloved by the Italian working class, his head begins to swell. But Salvatore makes a potentially lethal mistake when he crosses his benefactor, the powerful Mafia boss Don Masino Croce (Joss Ackland). Seeking revenge, Don Masino pulls in Salvatore's cousin, Pisciotta (John Turturro), to take out the bandit.Michael Cimino's ability to make a movie continues to fall off a cliff as he adapts a Mario Puzo novel that follows a character from "The Godfather" and isn't allowed to use that character due to rights issues. He instead casts someone with no charisma, avoids casting any Sicilians in the film, cuts almost all of the action to spite the movie producers and makes a truly boring, and terrible film. Buckle up, because we're in the bad place.If you enjoy the episode, please rate, review, and subscribe. You can leave a podcast review wherever podcast reviews are allowed, and pick a movie for us to cover in that very review. #michaelcimino #christopherlambert #johnturturro #podcast #filmography #thegodfather #mariopuzo #thesicilian

Year of the Dragon (1985)
Show notes
Tough New York City police captain Stanley White, a Vietnam War veteran, becomes obsessed with destroying an emerging Chinese-American Triad drug ring in Manhattan's Chinatown.Mickey Rourke plays White and he sure does hate the Asians and says racist stuff constantly, all while cheating on his wife with a young asian reporter. At least he is sweet to her (just kidding, he's awful). Has Michael Cimino struck gold in this, his fourth film? Has he made another masterpiece? Tune in and find out!

Heaven's Gate (1980)
Show notes
Join us as we re-examine the infamous film Heaven's Gate, directed by Michael Cimino, and explore whether it was truly a misunderstood classic. Often referred to as a studio killer due to its inflated budget and poor box office performance, this western epic has been largely dismissed as a flop. However, with a talented cast including Kris Kristofferson, Isabelle Huppert, and Christopher Walken, as well as notable appearances by Sam Waterston and Brad Dourif, we delve into the possibility that Heaven's Gate is more than just a box office flop. As a neo western, it offers a unique perspective on the genre, and its impact on the film industry cannot be ignored. In this podcast-style discussion, we analyze the film's production, its reception, and its lasting legacy, asking the question: was Heaven's Gate actually a misunderstood classic? Tune in to find out.

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974)
Show notes
For a moment, director Michael Cimino had the world in his hands and everyone was waiting for his next masterpiece. It all started with "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot", a heist comedy.Thunderbolt (Clint Eastwood) has been lying low as a preacher after a heist went wrong. His past catches up to him and as he's fleeing bullets in a wheat field, when Lightfoot saves him and the two hit the road and try to stay one step ahead of Red (George Kennedy) and Eddie (Jeffrey Lewis). Cimino's expansive shots of Montana frame this oddball comedy that takes sharp turns into harsh realities.#michaelcimino #thunderboltandlightfoot #clinteastwood #georgekennedy #jeffreylewis #jeffbridges #heistfilm #robbery #thriller #comedicthriller #podcast

Drive (2011)
Show notes
A Hollywood stunt man works nights as a getaway driver for criminals. One day, he falls in love with his neighbor and his life begins to fall apart.Nicolas Winding Refn brought a detached sense of cool to this 2011 masterpiece. With a love story sandwiched between action and the perfect soundtrack to the moment, Ryan Gosling and Carrie Mulligan sold their wordless glances as they attempt to find happiness in a grim chapter of their lives. Does "Drive" still hold up today? Is Albert Brooks still terrifying? Is the elevator head stomp still a grand, romantic moment? How dated is the electro indie pop score? Tune in and find out!If you like this episode, leave a review somewhere and within the review, mention a movie you want us to cover. Is it the "Pusher" series? Ok!

Drive (1997)
Show notes
A robo enhanced martial artist (Mark Dacascos) is on the run from a shady Chinese corporation that wants the tech back from his chest. What's a guy to do after some epic kicking and a bar shootout? Kidnap deadbeat, barfly dad Malik (Kadeem Hardison) and take off to sell the experimental technology to buyers who aren't evil. What follows is a road trip, buddy action comedy with an evil cowboy and Bob the goon hot on their tail. We also get a weird, fun performance from the late Brittany Murphy in this Steve Wang joint. Is it good? We will tell you! Tune in for some bang bang, kick kick.If you like this, please do subscribe, rate and review wherever you can review podcasts.

The Counselor (2013)
Show notes
Ridley Scott's "The Counselor" came out in 2013 and the reviews were not kind. With a screenplay by Cormac McCarthy (not too long after his novel for "No Country For Old Men" became an Oscar winning Coen Brothers film), the bleak drug trade morality tale became a punchline from Cameron Diaz's car humping scene and a perceived sense of boredom. Is this movie the steaming pile of crap everyone claimed? Probably, but i wouldn't know, because I watched the directors cut and it's a straight up masterpiece. For whatever reason, Scott released the shorter version, and everyone missed out on the building dread, the thoughtful pauses and the doom oozing from every surface. This movie is very, very good. Everyone in it (except maybe Diaz) is firing on all cylinders and I couldn't possibly recommend this more.Buckle up, y'all. It's time for a visit from...THE COUNSELOR

The Low Life (1995)
Show notes
John (Rory Cochrane) came to Hollywood to live out that Bukowski life and grind away at being a writer. He's spent years working garbage temp jobs, renting an actual house (a luxury in 2026!), and apparently only writing to his uncle instead of working on novels, shorts, poems or screenplays. But, at least John has some equally scummy friends (Ron Livingston and Christian Meoli), a potential (and equally vapid) love interest in Kyra Sedgewick, a new job working for a slumlord (James Le Gros) and a new roommate from the midwest (Sean Astin).Is his life going to turn around? Will he complete a novel and fall in love? Will he treat his enthusiastic and dorky new roomie with respect and appreciate all the things he does for him? Will irate people throw bottles at him or will dudes make weird passes at him when he's really bummed out? Marvel at how young Rory Cochrane is. Check out Renee Zellweger in a blink and you'll miss it role and ponder how differently her career would have been without Jerry Maguire. We've also got Shawnee Smith as "little tramp girl", and JT Walsh in a George Hickenlooper film (a guy who almost made it big with "Sling Blade"). Tune in and find out if this is a lost gem from the mid 90's.#rorycochrane #reneezellweger #kyrasedgewick #ronlivingston #seanastin #90s #indiefilm #podcast #moviereview

White Panic - Judgement Night (1993)
Show notes
Four friends go to the big city in a fancy winnebago to see a boxing match. When traffic backs up, they take a detour to trouble and end up running for their lives. Will they survive being hunted by a street gang? Despite a popular soundtrack, some rising stars and a solid premise, this movie was dead on arrival in theaters. Emilio Estevez was losing steam as a star and the studio lost confidence in the film. Is it a secret banger? Is Denis Leary believable as a gangster out for blood? How big is this scary industrial and gang ridden zone they're trapped in? Find out in this very episode!If you like this, check out the episodes covering "Enemy Territory" (featuring a young Tony Todd) or "The Park Is Mine". Rate and subscribe and if you're feeling cool, leave a review on Apple or wherever you can review podcasts and mention what movie you want us to cover (we'll do it!).#judgementnight #denisleary #emilioestevez #petergreene #podcast #filmreview #moviepodcast #cubagoodingjr #stephendorf

Marisa Tomei - Parker Kane
Show notes
A former cop lives in a fancy ocean side house we're supposed to think is a dump. He hangs out at the diner five feet from his door and jokes around with Maris Tomei. One day, David Caruso, an old friend, shows up and is promptly murdered in front of everyone. What's a Parker Kane to do? Well, the answer is investigate and uncover some wild toxic waste dumping.This was a TV movie that was supposed to bring us a TV series. Thank God it didn't, or that whole Marisa Tomei career would probably have been held back when she didn't get to wow us with My Cousin Vinny".

Marisa Tomei - Oscar
Season 25, Episode 5
Show notes
For the 5th and final film in our first Tomei run, we present to you...OscarPeople sure did hate this when it came out. It's part of the one-two punch of this and "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" comedic failure of Sylvester Stallone. Is this pure garbage? It sure does have a great cast (Tim Curry, Peter Riegert, Chazz Palminteri, Don Ameche, Harry Shearer, etc.), so it couldn't possibly be that bad? Tune in and find out!Rate, review, subscribe, like?
