The Projectors

Our next LIVES OF CRIME block is all about heists and the big personalities behind them. We’re calling it “YOU’RE NEVER OUT” and we’re long overdue to get to this seminal hit film from the 1970s that won Best Picture and more at the Academy Awards. We’re talkin’ THE STING from 1973. It’s hijinks and capers and rag time as Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford, RIP) and Henry Gondorf (Paul Newman, RIP) team up with a surprising amount of people to score big time off of the gangster boss Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw, RIP). Misdirects and danger aplenty b...

We may have bitten off more than we can chew for what we hoped to complete by the end of the year but we’re finally back to a rotating theme that will likely encompass 2027 as well. Once again it’s time for our “LIVES OF CRIME” series and we’ve been hankerin’ since we did the James Cagney block and are finally able to get back into it. For this chunk’s crime theme we’re gonna need a few decent heavies. Preferably ones we can trust, which are non existent. We’re talking about HEIST MOVIES for this LIVES OF CRIM...

We wrap up our NEW STUFF SHOWCASE with the only movie in the bunch that didn’t hit that box office mark. We don’t mean to rub it in but maybe 80’s nostalgia has its ceiling. We caught MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE on a freshly dropped stream just six weeks after its theatrical release. Mattel cashed in huge with Barbie so now Prince Adam gets the treatment. In fact, they stick him in a soul sucking HR job daydreaming about some insane fantasy land from his childhood. Sound familiar? That’s you, man. He’s you. You fucking loved He-M...

We continue NEW STUFF SHOWCASE with yet another breakout horror that made box office bank and it’s directed by a surprisingly young breakout director, Kane Parsons. We’re talking BACKROOMS which we saw in the theater but, admittedly, we knew nothing about the YouTube series that it came out of or the creepypasta lore that inspired that. How do you even find anything good with Creepypasta? There’s so much slop. Anyway, there’s a lot to compliment in young Kane Parsons debut feature film and some performances worth checking out. What would your backrooms look like? What would yo...

We’re going through a NEW STUFF SHOWCASE and finally hitting up some fairly recent releases and this hit charmed the britches off of audiences when it released in theaters a few months ago. America’s Official Quirky Hunk and Modern Nice Guy Everyman, Ryan Gosling, stars in one of this year’s biggest hits, “PROJECT HAIL MARY”. Ryan plays Dr. Grace a middle school science teacher  who has to go light years into space to figure out why the sun is dying. He’s not expected to come back alive but when he encounters sentient extraterrestrial life then anything beco...

A lot of this month will be devoted to recent releases. It’s NEW STUFF SHOWCASE and no movie this year will be a bigger surprise phenomenon than the movie we’re discussing today. Curry Barker’s monster hit “Obsession”. It seems like making horror is the best approach to breaking out in this challenging business of making movies. Curry Parker, Ari Aster a decade ago, Adrian Chiarella and Kane Parsons also this year as well as Zach Cregger with “Barbarian” and “Weapons”. All fine and good but can we go see other things beyond horror too? I need a Kramer vs. Krame...

We’ve been behind on the hot new movies that have been coming out this year so we did a little cinema/streaming grind and hit up five fresh flicks. We’re calling this series NEW STUFF SHOWCASE and we’re discussing them in the order of maximum profit first. That said, The Odyssey is still selling tickets and packing the IMAX going into week four so it looks like the Nolan epic might become a certified “Billy” (billion at the box office) so THE ODYSSEY is first! The hottest cake on the griddle! NO NOTES FOR THIS DISCUSSION! 100% GUARANTEED...

We close out MOVIES ARE GAY 4: GAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU with a fresh film that was just in theaters. A sleeper little Australian horror in the wake of “Obsession” and “Backrooms” hype and this one has some decent reviews under its belt. Not too shabby for a director’s first feature length film. Small town Australia is a lot like a lot of small towns everywhere in it’s closed mindedness and this particular slice of post-industrial Aussie hell has a cult that will curse you if you go out and do the perfectly natural act of kissing othe...

We’re on our penultimate selection for this year’s belated “MOVIES ARE GAY 4: GAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU” and we’re hitting up a refreshing raunchy teen comedy about a couple of loser lesbians. Not to be confused with the cool, hot, gays. These girls want hot chicks so bad that they’ll lie and start clubs to get anywhere near a cheerleader but Jeff, Phunck & the rest of the high school football team prefer to have the attention on them as the upcoming murder spree with a rival school is just around the corner. We can’t believe we m...

We continue with YOUR demands as we make July as gay as June with our theme, MOVIES ARE GAY 4: GAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU, and we’re presenting them in the classic individual style. This week is a remarkably crafty and genuinely funny story of a transgender woman that is told using (in very particular parodic ways) characters from Batman comics and shows as well as other DC comics characters as inspiration. Superhero fatigue (and Joker fatigue in particular) may have been the reason we’re just now getting to this unique comedy but it’s easily the best J...

MOVIES ARE GAY 4: GAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU (and also with you). We're starting strong with our return to form as we gay up July to compensate for being too busy last June. The rest of our Gay selections are thoroughly in the 21st century and we take on our first Todd Haynes film discussion in the movie "Carol", which is a lesbian love story and also one of two films where Cate Blanchett plays a strong lesbian in a movie directed by a guy named "Todd". Carol is a pretty simple film that plays a lot of...

WE’RE BACK AT IT WITH A CLASSIC THEME AND A CLASSIC FORMAT! We had zero time in June to record anything for this year’s “Movies Are Gay” theme so by popular demand we’ve decided to expand Pride Month into July as well. We took a poll and it came back 100%. It’s finally time for MOVIES ARE GAY 4: GAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU and we’re keeping it quite modern this year as much of what we’re discussing is very recent AND we will spread out our session across multiple days which means we’re back to old per...

To prove it we will be dropping MOVIES ARE GAY 4 episodes in July under our classic format. Then we'll talk Crime, New Jersey & Katherine Bigelow films. More on all that in the video. See you soon!

It’s time for the 3rd state in our “AIN’T THAT AMERICA” series and New Jersey is on the docket. We know this is long as shit but we did break it down into chapters for you. The general cultural perspective of New Jersey hasn’t been great with it always being tagged as New York’s smelly kid brother but New Jersey became a state before New York so there, bitch. For “New Jersey at the Movies Part 1” we got some of that good gabagool.

TRILOGISTS TIME! Sony’s gotta milk that Spider-Man IP and Venom did pretty good so they decided to try out some other Spidey villains and side characters and the internet grabbed onto these three movies in the most ironic way possible. We lump these in as a trilogy we’re calling “SONY’S STRANGE MARVELS” as these are the notorious triple failures of Sony’s attempt at stretching the franchise out. We’re talkin’ MORBIUS, MADAME WEB & KRAVEN THE HUNTER! Sure, they’ll probably try again down the road but when they do they’re gonna hope we don't remember these three...

We’re getting into the first of this year’s noir sub-theme we’re calling “Lives of Crime” which is something of a sequel to our first noir month “The Left Hand Endeavor” (check that playlist on YouTube for more noir talk). Movies about crime are amongst our favorite and we want to kick it off with a guy who made movies that a lot of later crime movies imitated. We’re talking the classic Hollywood star James Cagney and we got 5 classic noirs starring The Man to discuss. Bootlegging and Bullets all over these selections that also feature Humphrey Bogart...
