The Last Nighters - Free-market Film Analysis

Tonight we talk about a not well-known atrocity in India as told in the biopic "Sardar Udham".  This was a recommendation by a few folks who commented on some of our videos and it is a doozy.

The great Jared Wall of Breaking Liberty and other projects joins us to discuss.

Also, tune it for a half-announcement of sorts where we reveal some things that need to be sorted. Sort of.

We hit a stretch-goal of yet another horror film as we bleed into November as we review "Beetlejuice" with James Jenneman of the Blackbird Podcast.

Released in 1988, this is Tim Burton is his element with a star-making turn by Michael Keaton as the titular character.  With Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin, and Winona Ryder, this is a fun film that is parts funny, parts horror, and parts bizarre.

It’s showtime!

We’ll be back next year with a movie suggested to us by several YouTube commenters as our friend, Jared Wall joins us to do...

We have Snobby Bobby of the Not for Everyone Podcast on tonight to discuss the Alfred Hitchcock classic, "Psycho".

From the master of suspense, at the peak of his powers, comes a genre-defining classic that helped change an industry.  Psycho has been referenced in culture ever since it came out and in a way, it makes the twist have less of an impact, but it is a masterful film that is well worth watching.

Yes mother, we will do a good show, mother.

Join us next week as we continue the horror theme, n...

A longtime listener of the show, Reverend Lee, comes on to talk about “Swing Kids”.

Swing Kids is a 1993 American dramatic film directed by Thomas Carter and starring Christian Bale, Robert Sean Leonard and Frank Whaley.  A group of teens adores forbidden music in Nazi Germany just before the outbreak of World.

It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that swing.

Hey you guys!  Raylene Lightheart joins us again for a review of “The Goonies” which is prompted by me actually being in the area where it was filmed.

A group of young misfits called The Goonies discover an ancient map and set out on an adventure to find a legendary pirate's long-lost treasure.  This 1985 American adventure comedy film co-produced with Steven Spielberg and directed by Richard Donner from a screenplay by Chris Columbus was a nexus of Hollywood talent that launched many a career.

This is a cult classic that many people still adore to this d...

A bit of a somber occasion as a remembrance of the great Norm MacDonald who passed away recently with a review of a brilliant film, "Dirty Work" with the wonderful Raylene Lightheart.

Dirty Work is a 1998 American comedy film starring Norm Macdonald, Artie Lange, Jack Warden, and Traylor Howard and directed by Bob Saget.  It flopped at the box office, but has since gained a cult following.

While not a great film this will be more of a celebration of Norm and his body of work from calling out the Clintons on the View, his C...

It's the return of Jonathan Reed as we discuss a documentary film about wine called “Red Obsession” which he assures us will leave us with plenty to converse about.

A documentary that chronicles the history and changing nature of the French wine industry.  The great chateaux of Bordeaux struggle to accommodate the worldwide financial crisis and a new emerging market, and potential competitor in the East.

We’ll uncork a good one tonight.  This one will age like a fine wine.

Join us next week for a somber occasion as a remembrance of the grea...

We shift into more family-friendly fare with a review of “Newsies” with Abby Cleckner, who is a friend of frequent guest Dr. Dennis Foster and thus a listener of the show.

A musical based on the New York City newsboy strike of 1899. When young newspaper sellers are “exploited” beyond reason by their bosses they set out to form a union to violently fight for their “rights” as unlikely “heroes” when they team up to fight an unscrupulous newspaper tycoon.

We will have some choice headlines on this one.
