Tango And Cash With Michelle Francesca Thomas

"This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. It'll fight if it has to, but it's vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won."

Episode 136- Escape From The Thing

We talk about the dizzying highs and devastating lows of our man Kurt Russell and pretty much run out of his movies in the process. We've done them all! Why else would we have 3000 Miles on here? 

TEQUILA SUNRISE (1988, Robert Towne)
BACKDRAFT (1990, Ron Howard)
3000 MILES TO GRACELAND (2001, Demian Lichtenstein)

Ep. 129: RUSSELL MANIA

We're celebrating one full year of being unlikely partners on the podcast beat by finally getting around to what we've been told is one of the all-time great buddy cop movies. Yes it's 1989's Tango & Cash, directed by a three-headed monster of directors on a deeply troubled production but overseen in post-production by Demolition Man editor Stuart Baird, and starring Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Jack Palance, Teri Hatcher, Brion James, James Hong, Michael J. Pollard, Robert Z'Dar, Lewis Arquette, Eddie Bunker and Clint Howard. No sense sugar-coating it, she doesn't want it to be a secret: Hayley hated this movie. But J Mo still makes the case for its not-so-guilty pleasures, and we reflect on a full year of doing the show.

Of course, with the Oscars on Sunday we also take a quick minute to make our picks in the major categories, leading Justin to discover that while he's now seen 100 films from 2023, he's somehow missed almost all the Oscar movies. Embarrassing. We're going heavy on Oppenheimer. Big surprise. 

Other works discussed in this episode include Dune: Part Two, Robin Hood: Men In Tights,  Spaceballs, The Princess Bride, The Emperor’s New Groove, Beauty and the Beast,  Aladdin, The Lion King, The Voyeurs, Deep Water, Nocturne, The Perfection, Tenet, The Fast Franchise, First Blood, Rocky, Thief, The Rocketeer, Dick Tracy, Cobra, and Under Siege 2: Dark Territory.

We'll be back next week to kick off a new campaign as we're joined by Briarpatch publisher and all-around good dude John Cameron to discuss the 1972 Robert Redford political satire The Candidate, which is currently available to watch in its entirety for free on YouTube. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

ADHD-DVD - 52 - Tango & Cash

This week we're headed to the desert in hopes the dry air will ease our sufferin'... and hell's coming with us, as we watch 1993's Tombstone, directed by George Cosmatos (or Kurt Russell, depending who you ask), and starring Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton, Powers Boothe, Michael Biehn, Charlton Heston, Dana Delany, Jason Priestley, Stephen Lang, Thomas Haden Church, Michael Rooker, Billy-Bob Thornton, Paul Ben-Victor, Billy Zane, John Corbett, Terry O'Quinn, and the voice of Robert Mitchum. It may not boast the bonafides behind the camera of a more prestige picture like Wyatt Earp, which came out almost six months to the day after Tombstone's Christmas '93 release -- but history has been much kinder to it, in large part because it's a hell of a lot of fun. Consider it redemption for both Russell and Kilmer given their recent fare on the podcast. PLUS: Would you quit your job if they made you go watch Madame Web? And Hayley can finally join in the conversation around Dune: Part 2.

If you'd like to watch Tombstone before listening along to our discussion, it is currently streaming on Disney+. Or you can snag it for $3 from the thrift store like Justin did.

Other works discussed in this episode include Little Women, Lady Bird, Elvis, Moulin Rouge!, Romeo + Juliet, Asteroid City, Cloud Atlas, Arrested Development, October Sky, The Room, Troll 2, Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, Lebanese Burger Mafia, Where'd You Go, Bernadette?, Poor Things, Late Night with the Devil, Last Voyage of the Demeter, That Thing You Do, Roadhouse, Point Break, Superman: The Animated Series, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Friday Night Lights, Young Guns, Deep Impact, Armageddon, Volcano, Dante's Peak, A Bug's Life, Antz, Capote, Infamous, The Prestige, The Illusionist, and Monarch, among others.

We'll be back next week to wrap up the month with a much anticipated and perhaps controversial canon entry, a movie that we love quite a lot here on the show but we know is not universally beloved. Returning favourite Matt Pollock is back next week to help us induct Christopher Nolan's TENET into the pod canon. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

Tango & Cash (soundtrack cover)

It's the end of Spooktober... nobody trusts anybody now and we're all very tired, as we chill out with the original prince of podcasting RJ MacReady and John Carpenter's frozen freakfest takes its rightful place in the pod pantheon. It's 1982's The Thing, directed by John Carpenter, written by Bill Lancaster, and starring Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, Keith David and Donald Moffat. An absolute masterclass in the art of practical make-up and on-camera special effects, it's a movie that still looks outstanding to this day, now 42 years after it hit the screen. Critics hated the film upon its release, accusing Carpenter of only being interested in pushing the limits of technical achievement, and slacking on character and story. While I'd take issue with the latter critique, the former is exactly what has made the movie an enduring favourite. As for its story, this is a scenario so rife with paranoia that it has since gone on to become a successful board game.

Sadly, The Thing is not available to stream in Canada at the time of publication, but you can nab it on Blu-ray for $5 most places and it's well worth owning on physical media.

Other works discussed in this episode include the Venom franchise, Invaders From Mars, Poltergeist, Transformers, Lover, Stalker, Killer, Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare, Paranormal Activity 2, Cloverfield, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Poltergeist III, Truth or Dare (2017), Death Becomes Her, Gladiator II, The X-Files, Lost, Severance, Clear and Present Danger, and Escape From New York.

We'll be back next week to kick off No-Theme-ber, a lawless month where anything goes, as Roxy Fever's Jackson McDonald returns to the show with a redemption pick from his own collection, and to promote the new King Bob album Rookie available now wherever you get your music. He's making us circle back to Hitchcock with a classic mistaken identity thriller, 1959's North by Northwest, with Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

362 Teaser - BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA (1986) + LAST OF THE MOHICANS (1992) [FULL EP ON PATREON]

Mike Burdge and Robby Anderson continue their journey through the films of John Carpenter, this time stopping by one of his most beloved cult classics, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, and the immensely under-appreciated PRINCE OF DARKNESS.

Listen on....

Got a Smoke?

(MEMBERS) Ep 13: Stalking Carpenter - Big Trouble In Little China & Prince Of Darkness

Copaganda! is a comedy podcast where we rewatch cop movies to learn about policing. Each episode I rewatch a classic cop film with a comedian friend and ask what makes the ideal cop?  
We break down what’s happening in the movie, what’s happening in policing when the film was being made and our own relationship to police and cop movies.

Did you know Dirty Harry inspired something called a “Make My Day” law, a precursor to today’s “Stand Your Ground” laws? 
Did you know when Miranda rights were introduced the cops lamented they’d never be able to solve a crime again? 
Does watching the chief yell “you’re a loose cannon!” over and over again make us think cops are best when they’re unregulated?  

We get into all this and more in Copaganda! Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

A podcast about movie thrillers from the 80/90’s and even sometimes the 2000s! Hosted by Matt Lynch, Emalie Soderback and Travis Vogt.

Welcome fellow SLEAZOIDS!!! Come along as hosts Josh Lewis and Jamie Miller (and, occasionally, guests) go down the rabbit hole of 20th century genre fare from the most influential canon classics to the the trashiest exploitation films we can get our hands on. Each week is a double feature—grindhouse style—where we discuss two films loosely related by subject, genre, actor, filmmaker or franchise and at the end of each episode, along with our HONORARY SLEAZOIDS (click on over to our patreon to become one), we decide on ratings and rankings for each film that's covered. Join us as together we work to uncover the best genre films of 20th century.

3 Movies. 2 Friends. 1 Podcast.

Join Joe Daxberger and Rian Miller as they review and rank 3 thematically linked movies per episode of the Triple Threat Theater Podcast.
