Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who will probably sabotage the whole thing.

This week, we discuss the recent MCU film: Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness!

It’s a Wes month. This time we discuss his 2004 film The Life Aquatic which tells the story of sailor/asshole Steve Zissou as he tries to reignite his career and connect with his son. The boys talk about redemption arcs, beautiful shots, and how Wes Anderson has matured through his movies.

506. Ander’s Sons: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

A Pick the Flick episode of Frame Rate! This means one of our patrons, specifically Nikolai G, generously donated through the Pick the Flick tier and got to choose what we watched! 

This episode covers the 1998 heist film Ronin. A film about a team of ex-military mercenaries enlisted by some Irish people to find a briefcase. We compare it to modern day action films and blockbusters, talk car chases, and determine that Jonathan Pryce is a tiny man. Witness the raw sexual power of Robert De Niro driving fast.

DRAFT ACTION HERO - EP16: Hogan Vs Predator

Our heroes impartially review a film based on their friend's book in a totally not-awkward podcast.

We Just Watched... John Dies At The End

We covered The Greasy Strangler, an anti-comedy film that pushes the reality of what we’d call “a movie.” Griffin Rowell joins us for a conversation about the absolute madness of the story and the gross visual aesthetic it deploys. Mostly, we talk about how the movie broke Abe.

Hypecast - 09.30.2022

Brooks is back! So you know it’s weird! This time we all take a look at the experimental horror stop-motion film, Mad God. The labor of love of Phil Tippett (dinosaur supervisor). A film that took 30 years to make. The gang talk about its imaginative and rich world, the importance of story, and how sometimes artists create a situation where their reach exceeds their grasp.
