Dave has gone and beer'd us a movie we can't refuse: Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather. 

Somehow, despite regularly being cited as one of the greatest films ever made, Bryan had never seen this. 

So hold onto your horse heads! This should be interesting.

There's been a severe lack of Nic Cage on the show so far, so Dave has set out to remedy that with this week's pick. 

Of course, we're just a couple of self-indulgent wieners. So we invited the Cage Connoisseurs of The Experience Grind Podcast to talk about Gone In 60 Seconds with us. 

Okay, let's ride!

As Ethan Hunt returns to theaters this week with another impossible mission, we celebrate the release of Dead Reckoning: Part 1 by going back to another repeat collaboration with a director Tom Cruise found great success with: 1990's Days of Thunder, directed by Tony Scott, and starring Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Robert Duvall, Michael Rooker, John C. Reilly and Cary Elwes -- the latter of whom is back playing an onscreen foil opposite Tom now 33 years later in the latest Mission. Not just a re-teaming of Top Gun's creative team, the movie often plays like a loose remake of the previous film, just re-skinned within a different industry. But it's also arguably better than the movie it's following as well, with a wild production history that triggered a significant tidal shift behind the scenes in the film industry.

Meanwhile, Hayley's musical tastes continue to drift her further into the past, while J Mo's got theatrical field reports on Asteroid City, The Flash, and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. And of course we can't make it out of this episode without talking at length about Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.

If you'd like to watch Days of Thunder along with us before listening, it is currently streaming on Paramount+.

We'll be back next week to coincide with the release of Oppenheimer as we finally catch up with Christopher Nolan's last foray into historical drama, the 2017 war epic Dunkirk.

Episode 87 - The Young West

PORTRAITS OF THE ARTISTS (AKA DENZEL MONTH) has been a hell of a time and it’s been fun to examine the lives of such cornerstone actors in Paul Robeson and Denzel Washington. Those two men seem very different in personality but for this final edition of our theme, Denzel takes on a role that might be the closest to Robeson’s preferred type. A struggling, hardworking, family man trying to make ends meet in a medical emergency. It was a hit during a time when random dramas seemed to be seen, though not much of it gets said even in context of the Denzel oeuvre and broader film culture. A very direct critique of the U.S. medical system in Nick Cassavetes’s absolutely dripping melodrama from 2002, “JOHN Q.”. Denzel is the obvious everyman who successfully holds his own dramatic weight. It also stars Kimberly Elise, James Woods, Anne Heche (RIP), Robert Duvall and Ray Fuckin’ Liotta. We miss you Ray. The people finally get a little propaganda in this far from perfect story that occasionally brushes up against “ridiculous”. Charming family dynamic with a few good dramatic moments and maybe a little misdirected in its cleanliness through the home stretch. Nonetheless, we can all relate to dealing with our shitty medical system. So long January’s theme.

John Q. (2002)

Harper Lee’s iconic book was turned to life with Gregory Peck’s phenomenal portrayal of Atticus Finch as the cornerstone of the entire cultural behemoth. In this episode we discuss Galaxy Chocolate’s US brand name, Foghorn Leghorn and Cut For Time SNL sketches. At some point the Sorkin adaptation, the book and the film come into conversation as well, but not before chifforobe talk.

279 - To Kill A Mockingbird

Hosts Josh and Jamie and special guest rock critic Steven Hyden discuss a double feature of movies loosely connected to legendary heartland rocker Bruce Springsteen: Ulu Grosbard's LA noir conspiracy-Catholic brother melodrama TRUE CONFESSIONS (1981) starring the two Roberts (Duvall and De Niro) that apparently inspired his 1982 album NEBRASKA, and Paul Schrader's Ohio blue-collar bar band family melodrama LIGHT OF DAY (1987) that before eventually casting Michael J. Fox and Joan Jett was originally written in the late 70s as a star vehicle for Springsteen under the working title BORN IN THE U.S.A.

Are You Movie Mad? Is the podcast that asks the most difficult question one man has ever faced. Cinephile Andrew Jones is perpetually flabbergasted that Johnny Ellis uses the online moniker 'Movie_Mad' yet at any given moment seems not to understand any movie references. Join Andrew as he journeys through a collection of films to educate Johnny and ask if Johnny is Mad about the movie he watched or remains Movie Mad.

Bob Sham and Angela (former Documenteers hosts)have expanded their film discussion into broader waters with MOVIEHUMPERS. This feed is the one stop shop for our classic and current shows.

Death to all traitors

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.

A weekly podcast where two self-proclaimed film nerds talk movies. That's right, another movie podcast.

Throughout each episode, we assign point values for different categories to arrive at a final score. Then we surprise our co-host (and our listeners) with the next week's movie. On the last week of every month, we randomly select a film suggestion from our listeners!

We never know what we'll be talking about the next week! Shenanigans ensue.

A podcast about Parenting + Horror movies! Because parenting is scary stuff.
