Bark bark bark goes the rabid dog, and snore snore snore go the podcast hosts, as they try to find anything to grab hold of watching this old-school Stephen King film adaptation.
128 - DOLORES CLAIBORNE
Stephen King month hits Kathy Bates territory with the ‘other’ King adaptation she starred in. Johnny shares stories of actually reading the book, and Andrew discusses filmmaking in a deeply useless way. Plus jokes.
127 - GERALD'S GAME
Johnny takes the reigns with Stephen King month, and Netflix’s dark, gory horror. Cue discussion of film nasty violence, awkward interviews and pitching a second film from another perspective.
126 - HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE
Studio Ghibli month ends with a guest appearance from Dick Cheney and a watch of a Christian Bale film about wars and heart transplants. But also a discussion on Fozzie Bear as a voice actor.
125 - PORCO ROSSO
Ghibli month breaks through to the final run with a film where Michael Keaton plays a pilot pig. And we’re all accepting this as the world we live in now.
124 - ONLY YESTERDAY
Reminiscing on other adventures, Andrew and Johnny continue Ghibli month with a ‘romantic drama’ that is more drama and less anything.
123 - LAPUTA - CASTLE IN THE SKY
Ghibli month does not begin with the promised Kiki’s Delivery Service and Andrew is heartbroken, but not as much as when he and Johnny venture forth to watch the replacement film, about a castle, a castle in the sky.
122 - TT3D: CLOSER TO THE EDGE
Documentary January concludes with a 3D feature, full of fast bikes, fun folks and, as with all good documentaries, a body count. Strap in and rev up for a finale and a half.
121 - CRUMB
It’s been a while since we watched American Splendor but that doesn’t mean we can’t shoe-horn in a follow-up in a month devoted to documentaries. Johnny spends the time believing R. Crumb is dead all along, and Andrew wonders as ever why he even does this.
120 - ROGER & ME
Welcome Michael Moore to doc month, the duo watch his first feature and examine Flint, Michigan as a tourist location, a home of some of the worst human atrocities in the western hemisphere and a sheriff’s deputy that seems to be the Brundlefly of Lionel Ritchie and Paulie from the Rocky franchise.
119 - THE ARISTOCRATS
Andrew takes Johnny on a comedic journey through an old joke that barely has a punch-line in an episode full of them. Take heed when Ringo Starr drops by to chat, and both hosts attempt to tell their own versions of The Aristocrats.
118 - THE KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS
Documentary January begins with 2 players fighting for dominance, and Johnny uses the c-word a lot when discussing one Billy Mitchell. It’s boss-level insane here.
117 - 2018 - A YEAR IN REVIEW
Johnny and Andrew look back over the last year of the podcast, the highs and the lows, and Johnny can’t stop talking about that trip to Nashville he took. So Andrew naturally annoys him constantly over it.
116 - CLERKS II
A long talk about Kevin Smith and Andrew remembers his teen years before watching the so-far-final in the franchise movie.
115 - A TOWN CALLED PANIC
To cleanse the soul from the previous film, Andrew shows Johnny what insanity is in the form of Belgian animation and origin of film-quiz-winning team name A Town Called Panic.
114 - MARY & MAX
Andrew brings up a film that genuinely makes him cry in an effort to turn Johnny into a sniveling mess, Johnny is prepared for a weird, creepy, Tim Burton style movie instead.
BONUS - NIGHTSHOOTERS DIRECTOR MARC PRICE
Escaping the clutches of the usual recording studio, Andrew and Johnny sit down with the director of upcoming action thriller Nightshooters to talk phoned-in choreography, the C-word and making audiences react. You can see Nightshooters now on DVD and Blu-Ray and on Amazon Prime Video!
113 - HOCUS POCUS
Johnny takes centre stage as film programmer for this Halloween edition of the podcast, opting for a beloved classic neither host has seen over a horror movie. The witching hour is upon us all.
112 - CHOPPER
Bloody Andrew makes Johnny bloody watch a movie he knows bloody nothing about, and Johnny finishes his London Film Festival report in a bloody episode about bloody a lot of bloody things, right.
111 - I HEART HUCKABEES
Andrew pleas for the connection of everything in Johnny’s nihilistic world, as Danny Dyer pops in to present a BBC documentary on his favourite movies.
