Episode 159 We're oiling up and doing some push-ups to get ready for our trips to the beach this week. First, it's time for Bromancing the Classics and Michael Denniston of War Machine vs. War Horse is joining us to discuss the Tom Hanks classic, Cast Away. After that, we review the latest from Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Baywatch.

2017 Directed by: Stanley Jacobs Starring: Grinnell Morris, Sid Veda and Paul Statman Dr. Jack Sutree (Grinnell Morris) is a biochemistry professor whose life is turned upside down when a lab accident gives him the ability to visualize his olfactory. If he looks at a flower, its fragrance is represented by a colorful cloud. Oddly though, when he looks at a person he is able to see their true motivations. He can see their innermost thoughts and secrets. It's a powerful and frustrating gift. With the assistance of a homeless musician named Bazemint, Jack hopes to unlock the mystery behind his powers and stop big pharma from using Jack's discovery for nefarious purposes. 96 SOULS fits in nicely with science fiction exploitation from the 50's and 60's. The science isn't very sciency and the fiction is super fictitious. The saving grace of most exploitation films is in the themes they explore. The reason a film like INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS transcends a sil

In this episode, we welcome fan favorite guest, Miranda Sajdak, to talk about one of her favorite movies, SAN ANDREAS.  We also take on an extremely heavy topic in the psychological section, so you've been warned.  Join us as we talk about how charming The Rock is, how beautiful this cast is, and why they don't make movies like this anymore!  All of this, in preparation for another disaster movie (?) starring The Rock, BAYWATCH!

Being mostly unsatisfied with the weekly reboot and clones that Hollywood presents us every week we head to space to find our own in two older films: Duncan Jones' MOON from 2009 and Joseph Kosinski's OBLIVION from 2013. Can multiple Sam Rockwells take on the star power of Tom Cruise? Which A.I. do we want to take orders from, Kevin Spacey or Melissa Leo? And is there something to be appreciated in a copy? We certainly hope so on that last question as that's the premise of this podcast. Twitter: @originalremake Mike: @warmachinehorse Peter: @Podstalgic

Tony Jopia’s highly anticipated comedy-horror hybrid Cute Little Buggers has found a home with Uncork’d Entertainment and High Octane Pictures, respectively. Uncork’d has acquired rights to the film in U.S and Canada, while High Octane has the rest of the world. Described as Gremlins meets Hot Fuzz, the film sees hostile aliens crash-land on local farmland where they proceed to snatch young women from the local ball. It is up to the villagers, and a visiting hero named Melchoir, to fend off the invaders and bring peace back to the sleepy English countryside. Uncork’d President Keith Leopard is pleased to be back in business with director Jopia having previously distributed the filmmaker’s well-received 2015 film, Crying Wolf. “Tony knows how to give audiences a good time – and his latest is no exception. Cute Little Buggers will spook you – there’s moments in this that will make the goosebumps rise and then some - but it will also give audiences belly laugh after belly laugh! At

The festival will open with Sam Voutas’ acclaimed KING OF PEKING, a rousing Beijing-set love letter to cinema that brought cheering audiences to their feet at Tribeca 2017. “From the opening frames of KING OF PEKING, I knew that it was special and a film that the LIFF audience will love,” says Lighthouse International Film Festival’s Eric Johnson. “Sam Voutas has made a film that speaks to cinephiles in a unique way, filled with moments that show film’s ability to act as a universal bond, while also telling a terrific story with a ton of heart and laughs. It is punctuated by pitch-perfect turns from his actors and it all comes together to form a sublime way to kick off the 2017 festival.

A lab accident changes the routine life of biochemistry professor Jack Sutree. He’s left with the ability to see fragrances flowing off organic substances. When he looks at a person he sees an alternate vision of their true self. Jack and his predoctoral candidate, Ram, struggle to understand these visions. Jack encounters a homeless musician, named Bazemint, and is taken by a haunting vision and music associated with her. He determines Bazemint is his best chance at understanding the phenomenon. Dr. Redfield, a university Regent with strong ties to the pharmaceutical industry, gets wind of Jack’s discovery and wants it for developing new psychoactive drugs.  He confronts Jack, Bazemint and Ram resulting in a surprise discovery and Jack redirecting his life. 96 SOULS was written and directed by Stanley Jacobs.  The film will open theatrically in select theaters on May 26.  Gravitas Ventures will release the film on VOD and across all other digital platforms on May 30, 2017.

After producing three hundred episodes we decided to dig into our archives for a "lost" episode. Originally scheduled for August 2016 this show on TO STEAL FROM A THIEF is revived for two reasons: 1) we are incredibly lazy and 2) this Spanish film which was unable to get a theatrical release in the U.S. has now hit Netflix where it will presumably be ignored for more hate-watching of FULLER HOUSE. But we couldn't ignore it as it gives us a chance to look back at two great heist films set in banks and more specifically the content of safety deposit boxes in THE SILENT PARTNER and INSIDE MAN. And if that isn't enough Jodie Foster for you, we also are the only podcast (hopefully) to celebrate the one year anniversary of MONEY MONSTER! All of this and a bit less on the latest episode of War Machine vs. War Horse!

Filmed in Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon’s signature whimsical style, LOST IN PARIS stars the filmmakers as a small-town Canadian librarian and a strangely seductive, oddly egotistical vagabond. When Fiona’s (Gordon) orderly life is disrupted by a letter of distress from her 88-year-old Aunt Martha (delightfully portrayed by Academy Award®-nominee Emmanuelle Riva) who is living in Paris, Fiona hops on the first plane she can and arrives only to discover that Martha has disappeared. In an avalanche of spectacular disasters, she encounters Dom (Abel), the affable, but annoying tramp who just won’t leave her alone. Replete with the amazing antics and intricately choreographed slapstick that has come to define Abel and Gordon’s work, LOST IN PARIS is a wondrously fun and hectic tale of peculiar people finding love while lost in the City of Lights. LOST IN PARIS opens in NYC on June 16th.

For episode 300 we did not select that particular Zack Snyder "classic" but we do have a number of guests doing their best readings from that film.  Dwight  of  The Broken Brain ,  Dave  of  Pop Culture Case Study ,  Jairo  of  The True Bromance Film Podcast ,  Jason  of  Atlantic Screen Connection ,  Kevin  of  Cinema Geeks ,  Daniel  of  Get Reel Movies , and  Jess & Non  of  Joy Sandwich  are all here to blot out the podcast sun as we debate Our Future Identity as seen in new release THE CIRCLE. This disappointment leads us to look back at alternate futures in Terry Gilliam's BRAZIL and Richard Linklater's A SCANNER DARKLY. All of this and a debate on the future of cinema, Netflix, Marvel, podcasting, and the very nature of good and evil as seen in our hosts  Chris  and Mike. A breezy podcast listen all around.
