Episodes

  1. 235: A Place In The Sun (1951) & Top 10 Movies Of 1997

    Good to know he’s dead but if your family is a dynasty you can serve in the senate for 40 years. LIWstudios.com

  2. 234: Fantasia (1940) & Fantasia 2000 (1999) & Top 10 Movies Of 1940's

    I don’t quite get what the hell these movies are. People in 1940 needed LSD. Oh, we also rank our 1940’s movies but Fantasia will not be on it. LIWstudios.com

  3. 233: Puppet Master: Doktor Death (2022) & Top 10 Movies Of 1980

    Finally caught up to all the Puppet Master movies! Please stop making them now. LIWstudios.com

  4. 232: Legends Of The Fall (1994) vs. Seven Years In Tibet (1997)

    Haven’t seen these yet but I avoided these 2 Brad Pitt movies set in water/ice locations. Was I right to avoid these for 32/29 years? LIWstudios.com

  5. 231: Summer Of Sam (1999) & Top 10 Movies Of 2005

    Last watched this movie 27 years ago. All I remember is enjoying it and an unnecessary amount of swearing. Let’s see how it holds up. LIWstudios.com

  6. 230: Steven Spielberg

    We discuss our Spielberg rankings. I truly have no idea what will happen here? Probably nothing after 2005 will make our lists. LIWstudios.com

  7. 229: Altered States (1980) vs. Jacob's Ladder (1990)

    Still haven’t seen these two mind surgery/torture movies. Wait, I have seen the second one. These are truley trippy. LIWstudios.com

  8. 228: Blade: The Iron Cross (2020) & Top 10 Movies Of 1991

    Hey, only one more Charles Band Puppet Master after this. Unless he makes more. Considering he’s alive he may. Charles……outsource this material like you did in 2018. Just stop man. LIWstudios.com

  9. 227: Tusk (2014) vs. Yoga Hosers (2016)

    Let’s do a random Kevin Smith double feature. LIWstudios.com

  10. 226: Michael Mann

    Michael Mann has quietly been one of the best directors. How do we rank his movies? I bet #1 is the same but the rest will vary. LIWstudios.com

  11. 225: The Controdyssey

    At the end of our discussion for Dick Tracy and The Shadow we got joined by a viewer and ended up discussing race in The Odyssey. For some reason it is a controversy. This causes Phoenix to double down on the drinking. LIWstudios.com

  12. 224: Dick Tracy (1990) vs. The Shadow (1994)

    Two comic serials fight tonight. One will lose. One will win. Both will barely be discussed as we go off topic a lot. By the way the AI poster says 1994 for Dick Tracy but it’s 1990. AI is never wrong though. LIWstudios.com

  13. 223: Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018) & Top 10 Movies Of 2007

    Remove the Charles Band, add in Thomas Lennon. Swap out the laziness and instead use quality kills. Oh, we also discuss the top 10 movies of 2007. LIWstudios.com

  14. 222: Primer (2004) & Top Ten Movies Of 2022

    We discuss a movie that is barely a movie then we discuss movies from 2022 we didn’t hate. LIWstudios.com

  15. 221: Any Given Sunday (1999)

    A cocaine movie made for steroids. Why edit your sports movie like an experimental movie? Why do so many things here. LIWstudios.com

  16. 220: David Fincher

    Today we are gathered at the altar of Fincher to rank his 12 movies. Which of us has Alien 3 in their top 3? Probably neither but would be fun if we did! LIWstudios.com

  17. 219: Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) vs. High Fidelity (2000) & Widow's Bay Season 1 (2026)

    Today we discuss 2 of the 5 good movies starring John Cusack. Shame on you sir. To be fair, must be hard to read all those scripts when you're living inside a Red Box machine. LIWstudios.com

  18. 218: Puppet Master: Axis Termination (2017)

    In this very special episode of HID, Phoenix finally loses his shit on Charles Band. LIWstudios.com

  19. 217: The Bride! (2026) & Top 10 Movies Of 2010

    Today we will discuss 2010 films; the year of our lord. Oh, we also briefly talk about a movie that exists from 2026. It happened. We can’t say it didn’t. LIWstudios.com

  20. 216: Catch-22 (1970)

    In order to listen to this podcast, you need to be deaf. But you must go deaf from listening to this podcast. LIWstudios.com

  21. 215: Gremlins (1984) vs. Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)

    Haven’t seen these in a while so why not watch and compare them? How can two movies be so similar and so different? LIWstudios.com

  22. 214: Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983)

    They used to make kids movies not for kids. It was a glorious time. LIWstudios.com

  23. 213: Dune: Part Two (2024)

    Well Adam didn’t get to see it now that it’s getting interesting. What a shame. Riding worms is super cool. LIWstudios.com

  24. 212: Top 10 Movies Of 2013 & 2011

    We called in an audible to do this instead. Off screen we selected random years to do our top ten movies for. 2013 is up first, followed sometime by 2011. Keep in mind it’s every year movies have existed and randomly it’s 2 years 2 years apart. Math sucks. Which movies will win? Will your stupid...

  25. 211: Eyes Of Laura Mars (1978)

    Somehow this ended up being a very good movie. Didn’t see that coming through visions that are dreamy and nauseating. LIWstudios.com

  26. 210: Fahrenheit 451 (1966) vs. Slaughterhouse-Five (1972)

    No books versus no time management. Frenchman making an American story set in England is confusing. An American making a American author’s book about England is confusing too. LIWstudios.com

  27. 209: The Manchurian Candidate (1962) vs. (2004)

    A classic movie versus a forgotten movie. Black and white versus color. One starring a white guy and one starring a black guy. Politics. Random words. LIWstudios.com

  28. 208: Puppet Master X: Axis Rising Redux (2012)

    Well, we tried to do a redux on this. Except Dick watched the wrong movie. This movie is barely a movie. Shame on you, Charles Band. LIWstudios.com

  29. 207: Margin Call (2011) vs. Munich (2005)

    In-depth dialogue about financial specifics of a company versus an in-depth depiction of post Olympic massacre murders. FUN! LIWstudios.com

  30. 206: Dead Man's Shoes (2004)

    Once again we learn that England is dreary and depressing to live in. But this time with….kinda murders. LIWstudios.com

  31. 205: Midnight Express (1978) vs. Amadeus (1984)

    Prison versus music. The eternal struggle. We also give our Oscar picks LIWstudios.com

  32. 204: Lost Souls (2000)

    Does this movie that made zero impact hold up after all these years? Why wasn’t this pushed harder with the success of Stranger Things? Who is Ben Chapman? LIWstudios.com

  33. 203: Brick (2005)

    Time to find out what Brick means in a movie about drugs. I can’t even imagine. Will it subvert our expectations? LIWstudios.com

  34. 202: The Siege (1998)

    The Siege is a siege that is the. The happens while NYC is being sieged. Or that’s what we’re told. LIWstudios.com

  35. 201: Murder By Phone (1982)

    The victims in this movie were murdered. By phone. The audience of this movie was murdered. By boredom. LIWstudios.com

    Finally talked Dick into watching my favorite John Frankenheimer movie. I have all the feelings now. LIWstudios.com

    Well this movie was unexpected. What was supposed to be a quick convo on a Guy Ritchie crime movie turned into….something. LIWstudios.com

  38. 198: Born On The Fourth Of July (1989)

    Lazy actor couldn’t even get out of his chair for this movie. LIWstudios.com

    This movie is insanely good but also brutal to watch. LIWstudios.com
