Ep. 19 Ishtar

from Second Cut · host The Film Magazine

Siskel and Ebert declared Ishtar the worst film of 1987, but others believe the film is a classic. It's an action comedy alluding to the Road To... films of Hollywood's Golden Age, featuring two stars of the Auteur Renaissance. Where do Jacob and Sam's opinions lie on this controversial work?

Battle Draft Podcast Anthony Let the battle begin! This entertainment podcast brings you weekly episodes about, movies, TV shows, video games, sports and all other things that entertain, past and present. The brothers/hosts Anthony and Adam have loved and quoted movies like a second language for years. Battle Draft the Podcast has been a thing for a long time, we just decided to record it. With a weekly draft of random things, like our favorite horror movies, Pick 5 video game characters to fight for you, and so much more, we hope to give back and entertain you. Explicit Totes Recall Molly Chase, Beth Gibbs, Dan Jaquette and Dan Linden Human memory is flawed and we're here to prove it. On Totes Recall, our hosts Molly Chase, Beth Gibbs, Dan Jaquette and Dan Linden discuss the intricate details of a popular film. The catch? It's been years since they've watched it. Listen as they attempt to recap the plot, pull the names of secondary characters, and make bets whether a vat of acid appears at any point in the film. At halftime, they press the pause button, watch the film and return with answers. Did they nail it? Or, more likely, did they forget the entire second half of the movie? Listen and play along. Make new memories while realizing all of your old ones are full of lies. Explicit
