Coming in to the 21st century and a vulgar auterist creation lambasted and weirdly lauded, Johnny finds himself questioning the franchise as a whole, and specifically the purpose of action cinema in an incomprehensible manner. Andrew, meanwhile, attempts to deconstruct, to find meaning, in the bayhem unleashed.
171 - BAD BOYS
What you gonna do? We’re gonna watch Martin Lawrence and Will Smith, IN THAT ORDER, debut Michael Bay to the world, as the third film prepares to release. Will the cinema auterism of Bay be seen? Will Will Smith like Miami? Will Tea Leoni in black hair never not look like Kat Slater?
170 - 2019 - A YEAR IN REVIEW
Andrew and Johnny reminisce on the year of podcasts, discuss life, love, and then offer their top 10 films from the past decade.
169 - CATS
Johnny’s most anticipated film of Winter becomes Andrew’s most feared trip to the cinema. Tom Hooper’s adaptation of the acclaimed (?) musical where James Corden plays a cat, and the world must be destroyed. Some Star Wars talk, if you are avoiding such.
168 - A VERY HAROLD & KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS
Tis the season to be 3D, fa-la-la-la-la la-la la-la!
Andrew discusses the importance of Wafflebot, and 3D cinema, in the Christmas experience and Johnny finishes off his run of Harold & Kumar adventures in the most festive way possible.
BONUS - JAY & SILENT BOB REBOOT
The continuing adventures of the View Askewniverse come into shape as Andrew and Johnny head to a screening of the latest Kevin Smith movie, with different perspectives and different opinions. Will their friendship survive this episode?
167 - HAROLD & KUMAR ESCAPE FROM GUANTANAMO BAY
Johnny is about to head deep into the state as he examines the politically charged thriller that is Harold & Kumar’s second movie. Andrew, meanwhile, is looking for things to talk about that don’t involve the film in question. What a duo!
166 - HAROLD & KUMAR GET THE MUNCHIES
Andrew takes Johnny on a journey through the gross-out stoner landscape of the early 00s, and the duo explore burgers, cheetahs, character actors and the modern career of John Cho in the first of an out-there trilogy of episodes.
165 - A SERIOUS MAN
A storm is brewing, and cultures clash, as Andrew and Johnny explore Judaism, Richard Kindness and the power of Michael Stuhlbarg, rounding off CoeNovember and exploring the power of the cycle, the visions of the Coens and the potency of Jefferson Airplane.
164 - BURN AFTER READING
Someone is always listening, watching, waiting, as CoeNovember continues with an underrated comedy that Andrew adores, and Johnny is about to witness for the first time round. Will they become spies too? Or will a swing in the sex chair finish them off?
163 - O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?
Folk music, fables and fancy leading men, it’s time for the Dapper Dan men to go down to the South and experience some form of… odyssey. In only the way the Coen Brothers could do.
162 - MILLER'S CROSSING
Andrew and Johnny haven’t seen one-another for over a month, so they catch up about film festivals, Jokers, Fords Vs. Ferraris and Uncut Gemses. Coenovember begins with an Irish slice of whiskey gangland pizza pie.
161 - CHARLIE'S ANGELS - FULL THROTTLE
After last week’s failure, Andrew assures Johnny the second film is better, stronger, sillier, but there’s a sense that this TV To Film season is getting cancelled super quick.
160 - CHARLIE'S ANGELS
Before the new version comes out, Andrew takes Johnny on a journey with Lucy Liu, My Girl Drew and Cameron D, but will McG’s first epic hold up to adult human eyes?
159 - DEADWOOD THE MOVIE
Andrew has the consumption and Johnny has just finished watching the whole series of Deadwood prior to the movie. But topics focus almost as much on the idea of a Friends movie that would actually work.
158 - GET SHORTY
In a reversal episode it’s a film that is now a TV show as Johnny discovers who Shorty is, and Werner Herzog pops in to catch-up with everyone.
157 - GET SMART
Alan Arkin for some reason joins the gang as they watch the Steve Carell-led action comedy farce, and discuss the ever-evolving career of Dwayne Johnson.
156 - DOCTOR WHO - THE MOVIE
Johnny brings the ruckus with the made-for-TV Doctor Who movie of the mid-90s, and Andrew shows his complete lack of knowledge for the franchise. Will the screws be turned sonically or something?
155 - MACGRUBER
This week a Saturday Night Live sketch becomes a full motion picture, will Johnny fall for the mulleted one’s charms? Become obsessed with KFBR392? Will Stallone promote Rambo: Last Blood?
154 - THE DUKES OF HAZZARD (UNRATED)
Just some good ol’ boys, watching movies about TV shows, with more swearing than in cinemas, and nudity for good measure. Johnny’s love of country music may just help sway him on the forgotten blockbuster.
