THE LAST OF US! Should you watch? Plus a review of Masked and Anonymous - 108.2

The calendar may have already flipped to November but Marty Month continues as we fittingly go into overtime with 1985's After Hours, directed by Martin Scorsese, written by Joseph Minion, and starring Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette, Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, Catherine O'Hara, Verna Bloom, John Heard, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong. It's a rare straight-up comedy from Marty, an anxious nightmare of a movie that takes place on one wild night in the streets of New York City, and it's Justin's nomination to the ADHD-DVD canon to close out a month long celebration of Scorsese cinema.

Other works discussed in this episode include Cape Fear, The Last Waltz, Talk To Me, Trick 'r Treat, and the Final Destination franchise, while we're hyper-fixating on cursed micro-playlists and even more cursed interactions at the gas station.

If you'd like to watch the movie ahead of our discussion, it is sadly not available for streaming in Canada at the time of publication, but is rentable for $5 through YouTube, Amazon and Cineplex.

We'll be back next week to kick off our latest theme month, Dante's In Fer November: a three-week sprint through the works of Joe Dante that begins next Friday when Matt Pollock joins us to talk Tom Hanks in The 'Burbs!

Look. We had a lot of questions. So we gave Writer McStrikely the week off and did a deep dive on exactly what the hell is going on in Disney Pixar's Cars. 

They're usually pretty good about establishing the rules of each world. We understand how toys, fish, monsters, and robots exist within their universes. Mostly. But Cars is absolutely baffling. One might even say... exhausting. 

We definitely still have questions. What are your theories?

Up in Smoke (1978) / Withnail & I (1986)

This week we’re giving the middle finger to polite society as we smoke a giant joint and hit the road with Cheech & Chong and end up on holiday by mistake with Withnail & I

#139 - Misfits

Bryan was bummed about only getting to make one nostalgic pick last month, so welcome to Nostalgia Month Pt. 2! This week, Bryan beered us a movie that was played and quoted over and over in the Betz household in the late 90s/early 00s: Paulie. 

It was a time when you could make a movie starring Jay Mohr (in TWO roles!) about a talking bird telling a Russian Tony Shalhoub all about how much he misses the Pepsi Girl. That sentence could've also ended right after "Jay Mohr."
