Reel Poppycock

Reel Poppycock is back in the Saddle again, and best believe we are coming out Blazing in our Season 5 premiere!   This new episode covers the 1974 Mel Brooks comedy classic "Blazing Saddles," possibly the most influential flick in the comedy genre of the past 52 years. We can't forget the scathing social commentary either, as your hosts discuss the film co-star Gene Wilder described as one that "smashes racism in the face, but while making you laugh."   Certainly better to smash racism in the face than to punch a horse in the face, or to sit near a group of bean-fed cowboys around a fart-fueled campfire, or to have corrupt politicians commit dastardly deeds to further line their own pockets; but alas some things never change.   So saddle up and join Ed, KC, and Trevor as this new season kicks off, thanks for watching/listening, and enjoy!     00:00:25 Ed Whips It Out 00:01:23 Welcome to Season Five! 00:06:03 Special Thanks to our International Fans 00:08:04 Reel Basic Facts 00:15:37 One Minute Sponsorship = Tru-Connection 00:18:23 Poppycock (non-pop) Quiz 00:24:47 Stage Setting and Film Analysis 00:38:18 It's Hedley, Not Hedy 00:54:38 Speaking of Being "Hung" 01:05:43 Mongo Played in the NFL? 01:20:04 Was Lili Sucking on a Baby's Arm Holding An Apple? 01:22:06 KC Recites Hedley's Gallery of Rogues 01:26:40 Was that Colonel Sanders, or Big Daddy from Django Unchained? 01:42:09 DreamCast 01:50:27 Poppycock Round-Up     {credit to all respective artists for song clips used in this episode, all rights reserved} - "Blazing Saddles Main Theme" by Frankie Laine; album - Blazing Saddles Soundtrack; label - Warner Brothers - "April in Paris" by Count Basie; album - April in Paris; label - Verve - "I'm Tired" by Alan Silvestri and Madeline Kahn; album - Blazing Saddles Soundtrack; label - Warner Brothers     Still frame movie images for the slide show provided by: allscreencaps.com     Tik Tok: @reelpoppycock Instagram: @reelpoppycock YouTube: Reel Poppycock Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram Host Ed Lanier @edlaniermusic on Instagram Host Trevor Boland (He is old, find him on Facebook)

Can Ed's "ice cube cheeks" withstand the piping hot quiz questions as the crew drills him on his special born day movie? You'll just have to tune in to the Season 4 finale episode on "Predator" to find out, enjoy!      00:01:00 Joe Joins the Crew back in the Studio 00:03:20 Ed's Birthday Flick-Pick; and why 1987 is Special to Us 00:05:49 Reel Basic Facts 00:10:45 Joe gives some Info on Composer Alan Silvestri 00:14:38 Trevor's Greased-Up Beefcake & Meatbag Minute 00:20:32 Poppycock Quiz - Hot Seat Edition (Does Ed have the Ice Cube Cheeks?) 00:23:25 KC can call Dillon Al 00:33:50 Who's Ready to Discuss the Plot of Predator? 00:43:20 We thought a Sexual Tyranosaurus involved Denise Richards & Paul Walker 00:54:05 Kansas ain't no Joke, Ask Dorothy 01:04:11 Jason Voorhees Appears on the Predator Soundtrack? 01:15:00 Romance?

"Hey! You're talking bout our (podcast) all wrong. It's the wrong tone. Do it again, and we'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron." That hilarious quote, belted out by the iconic Christopher Walken, may be the high point of the firework-filled fan-selected-film "Joe Dirt" that we are tackling today; but there might just be more to this movie than meets the eye. Written by David Spade, who also stars as the titular Joe Dirte, this flick marked Spade's first foray into leading man status. It was a gargantuan Chris Farley sized shadow that Spade had to step out of, but the themes of positivity and perseverance have prompted some folks over the years to label "Joe Dirt" as a cult classic. Do your Reel Poppycock hosts assign the same cult classic credentials to this movie? You'll just have to tune in to find out! Hopefully everyone comes out of the holiday weekend with the same amount of fingers with which they started, and as long as you don't practice blind patriotism, we will wish you all a celebratory 4th of July too. Now if only everyone in the United States treated others the way that Joe Dirt treats people...     00:01:38 The Fans asked for it, Finally Time for us to get (Joe) Dirty 00:04:40 Reel Basic Facts 00:07:40 Six Degrees of Poppycock with Director Dennie Gordon 00:15:44 Fly On the Wall observing David Spade's Dating History 00:21:14 Why do People Rock with that Song, Ed? 00:23:31 Poppycock (non-pop) Quiz 00:31:20 Dirt Bag Analytics 00:37:02 Continuity Confusion for the Timeline of Joe Dirt 00:51:38 Charlie is Busting Chekov's Nut 00:54:32 Wacked Out on Pesticides like "Naked Lunch" 00:56:47 Trevor's Fire Fueled Wedding Memory 00:59:24 KC's Game - Name this Firework 01:01:29 Sorry Honey I Can't Chip in for the Rent this Month... 01:12:28 Joe Dirt was Banging his Sister before it was Cool 01:21:37 Ed has always had a thing for Rosanna Arquette 01:27:17 Live Find of Timeline Poppycock 01:32:00 Poppycock Round-Up       {credit to all respective artists for song clips used in this episode, all rights reserved} - "Aint Seen Nothing Yet" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive; album - Not Fragile; label - Mercury - "Who Do You Love" by George Thorogood & The Destroyers; album - Move It On Over; label - Rounder Records - "Burning For You" by Blue Oyster Cult; album - Fire of Unknown Origin; label - CBS-Records     Still frame movie images for the slide show provided by: fancaps.net       Instagram: @reelpoppycock YouTube: Reel Poppycock Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram Host Ed Lanier @edlaniermusic on Instagram Host Trevor Boland (He is old, find him on Facebook)

In honor of Juneteenth, today Reel Poppycock covers the 1984 film "A Soldier's Story." Charles Fuller adapted the screenplay from his own Pulitzer Award winning "A Soldier's Play," and it was directed by Norman Jewison. "A Soldier's Story" stars Howard E. Rollins Jr. and Adolph Caesar, also featuring early career turns from Denzel Washington, Robert Townsend, David Alan Greer, and more.     00:01:10 Sorry Joe Dirt Fans, we are covering that film on the Next Episode 00:02:54 Reel Basic Facts 00:13:37 Et Tu, Adolph Caesar? 00:18:40 Poppycock (non-pop) Quiz 00:24:22 Plot Points Provided by Ed 00:35:48 Davenport Doubletake Dooby-Doo 00:49:11 Denzel Accent Awareness Hour - Jamaican vs Southern 00:59:57 Why do they call him 'Jimmy One Leg,' Ed? 01:05:43 Bulge or Shadow?

On June 6th, 1944 the Allied invasion of nazi-occupied France took place, known colloquially as D-Day. This mission was also referred to as Operation Overlord, and Reel Poppycock is honoring that important WWII event on its 82nd anniversary by covering the 2018 film "Overlord." Trevor considers himself an amateur World War 2 buff, and he was all too excited to cover another movie set during D-Day, as the Poppycock crew tackled "Saving Private Ryan" on this same date last year. "Overlord" is not the same type of genre re-defining classic that "Saving Private Ryan" is, but it is a semi-hidden gem, and well worth the watch. This podcast episode also delves deep into some lesser known aspects of true evil that the Axis countries of Germany and Japan would employ, while not sugarcoating some choices made by the Allies. "Overlord" depicts Airborne troops, who have to fly through anti-aircraft fire, and then parachute into hostile territory. There is a lot of adherence to real historical events, but this movie *does* depict alternative history, and would that alternative version history prove too much to keep Ed from fully enjoying the film? And does KC think that Wyatt Russell, the son of their favorite Meat Shield, can pull off the same type of Meat Shielding as his Pops? You'll just have to tune in to find out! A friendly reminder that one can remain vehemently against the military industrial complex, while still honoring the personal sacrifices of the troops. Peace, and cheers!     00:02:32 Reel Basic Facts 00:06:50 Ed isn't Smellin' what Pacino was Cookin' in "Scent of a Woman" 00:16:14 Trevor's WWII Historical Perspective 00:23:56 Bent Off Good Wine Like Who? 00:27:10 Poppycock (non-pop) Quiz 00:34:47 Chloe is Smoke, and RZA says "Bong Bong," what's new? 00:39:15 Alternate History features Integrated Airborne Units 00:46:38 KC Drops a Lil Poppycock 00:52:30 Un-Flappable Captain Bad America gets all up in dem Weird Guts 01:03:14 The Turn Awaits 01:12:27 Our Protagonists get Defiant, like "Defiance," and Aint Got No Time To Bleed neither 01:20:53 Meat Shield gets Meat Hooked 01:30:38 Get Lost in Meg Foster's Eyes 01:33:26 Poppycock Round-Up 01:48:19 Final Thoughts: F*ck nazis       {credit to all respective artists for song clips used in this episode, all rights reserved} - "Bokeem Woodbine" by Nas; album: Magic 2; label: BMI/Universal - "The Mistake is Loose" by Jed Kurzel; album: Overlord (Music from the Motion Picture) label: Paramount Music - "Bridging the Gap" by Nas and Olu Dara; album: Street's Disciple; label: Sony Music   Still frame movie images for the slide show provided by: imdb.com       Instagram: @reelpoppycock YouTube: Reel Poppycock Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram Host Ed Lanier @edlaniermusic on Instagram Host Trevor Boland (He is old, find him on Facebook)  

We're taking it way back to 1953, and touching on film noir with our new episode covering "Vice Squad."   Directed by Arnold Laven , KC rightly calls this flick out as being highly influential for "cop-a-ganda" style TV shows.   Trevor dives deep into two fascinating golden age stars in the Reel Basic Facts: gangster prototype Edward G. Robinson, m'yeah see; and Paulette Goddard, who Ed labels as an old-timey template for Kim Kardashian.    All that and more on this new episode of Reel Poppycock, enjoy!     00:04:29 Thanks for the fan pick Leonard! 00:07:07 Reel Basic Facts 00:10:40 Edward G.

Some movies are bad. Some movies are so bad, that they're actually good, but it is a delicate balance.   How self-aware were the filmmakers? Do the filmmakers have talent, and how much budget was involved? Ultimately the most important question: is the final product entertaining?   A movie can be completely ridiculous, or full of Poppycock as we'd say, and still be heaps of fun at the same time.   Those qualifiers couldn't apply more to our new episode covering the 1994 sentimental bloodbath slash teenage romance monster movie "Tammy and the T-Rex."   Selected out of Reel Poppycock's Black Hat, "Tammy and the T-Rex" was a fan suggestion from Liana Windhorst, and she absolutely nailed her pick! Denise Richards & Paul Walker "shine" is this early career gore-fest and oft forgotten about entry to their filmographies.   How will Ed, KC, and Trevor deal with an animatronic dinosaur implanted with the brain of a teenage boy? You'll just have to listen to find out, enjoy!       00:01:05 Plenty Thanks to Liana for her Perfect Poppycock Pick 00:05:50 Reel Basic Facts 00:11:46 Raffill Reinterprets Spielberg - "Schindler's Pissed" 00:19:51 Poppycock (non-pop) Quiz 00:29:00 Film Analysis Begins 00:35:52 Testicular Stand-Off - "How'd you get the Beans above the Frank?" 00:48:08 Tammy's Dad is a Whole B*tch 00:57:25 Oh Pretty Baby Why You Walkin Away? 01:04:01 The Gory Glory we all Came For 01:09:50 Raw Doggin a Pizza Box on the Dashboard again, huh Pedro? 01:14:30 Can T-Rex arms Manipulate a 90's Pay Phone? 01:20:49 Dinos is Crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you - Get, that.

Finishing up our celebration of Black Filmmakers for February, Reel Poppycock features the phenomenal film "Sorry To Bother You" as the pick to round out our unit. Written and directed by Boot Riley, 2018's "Sorry To Bother You" is a surrealist and scathing anti-capitalist masterpiece of movie making. The Poppycock crew delves deep into the hidden meanings behind Detroit's iconic earrings, and then delve even deeper into tossing tons of praise on Tessa Thompson, the actress who embodied Detroit so dynamically. So dynamically that Ed may have even been daydreaming about barb-wire-wrapped baseball bats towards a character, played by Steven Yeun, trying to "Squeeze" into Detroit's affections. KC gets to discuss David Cross and Patton Oswalt, some comedians they are quite fond of, who provide plenty of comical satire with their voiceover work in "Sorry To Bother You." We also bring back one of our favorite segments, DreamCast. Trevor may have picked the flick to cover this week, but he can't choose LaKeith Stanfield in his DreamCast, because it is a Lakeith Stanfield starring film. So don't be bothered by the typical capitalist propaganda piped into you ear-holes, and pop on this Reel Poppycock podcast episode on "Sorry To Bother You" instead. Enjoy!     00:00:20 Quite Possibly Reel Poppycock's Most Clownin' Intro 00:03:25 Reel Basic Facts 00:10:44 Oh Yeah, All Right, Hell Yeah, That's Tight 00:12:00 Poppycock (non-pop) Quiz 00:19:51 We're Going to Get Into This Film Analysis 00:29:05 KC's Connection to one of the Comedians doing Voice-Overs 00:40:34 Ed Declares - "Detroit is Fine as Frog's Hair" 00:47:18 Prince's Protest Lyrics Presented on Detroit's Earrings 00:54:23 Good Gravy Glen was Smitten (with Detroit) from the Get Go 01:06:49 Partying at Steve Lift's Mansion 01:19:41 Equisapiens to the Rescue 01:23:57 DreamCast (Sorry to Bother You Trevor, but you can't DreamCast Lakeith in a Lakeith Film) 01:34:35 Poppycock Round-Up       credit to all respective artists for song clips used in this episode, all rights reserved} - "OYAHYTT" by The Coup featuring LaKeith Stanfield - "Does It Feel Good" by Tune-Yards - "I Love Boosters" by The Coup     Instagram: @reelpoppycock YouTube: Reel Poppycock Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram Host Ed Lanier @edlaniermusic on Instagram Host Trevor Boland (He is old, find him on Facebook)

Even 48 episodes in, Reel Poppycock can break into uncharted territory, as this week's installment on "Fear of a Black Hat" marks the first mockumentary the crew has covered so far. Hitting the film festival circuit in early 1993, the Rusty Cundieff written and directed "Fear of a Black Hat" does to hip-hop what "This Is Spinal Tap" did to heavy metal back in the 80's. This episode was a KC pick to continue our celebration of Black Filmmakers, and what a wonderful hidden gem of a choice it was! N.W.A., Public Enemy, LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, Salt N Pepa, PM Dawn, MC Hammer, The Fat Boys, Vanilla Ice and more all receive the lampoon treatment from Rusty Cundieff, who'd go on to direct the bulk of the series of Chappelle's Show. Non-stop jokes, clever social commentary, and high-quality music video parodies have turned "Fear of a Black Hat" into a cult classic over the years. Ed says "good gravy the grift was always strong with that one" when discussing Vanilla Ice, and his goofy clone Vanilla Sherbet depicted in "Fear of a Black Hat." And as the only olive-complected ma f*cka of the crew, Trevor is just thankful that N.W.H. aren't looking for a new manager. So grab your hats, grab yo junk, and pop on this piping-hot new Reel Poppycock episode, enjoy!     00:02:07 Reel Basic Facts 00:05:30 What Exactly Constitutes a Movie Being Considered a Musical? 00:12:29 Ointment Usage to Prevent Chaffing in Tight Leather Pants? 00:21:45 Lyrical Heat from N.W.H. 00:23:55 Poppycock (non-pop) Quiz 00:31:50 Tasty Taint - Ed's Favorite Member of N.W.H. 00:39:00 Little Bit of KC Lore for You 00:47:00 Good Gravy the Grift has always been there for Vanilla Ice 01:02:55 Tasty Taste's Lil European Brother 01:19:13 Come and Pet the P.U.S.S.Y.

Welcome back film friends! That's right, Reel Poppycock returns ripping & roaring out the gate with the premier episode of Season 4. Ed chose the 1995 movie "Higher Learning," written and directed by John Singleton, to kick off our celebration of Black Filmmakers. As KC says, Black History Month is *every* month of the year, so our celebration will certainly push past the end of February. Boasting plentiful prophetic plot points, and an all-star cast mainly near the beginning of their careers, "Higher Learning" is a powerful and poignant piece of cinema. Reel Poppycock takes a page out of Singleton's book with some scathing social commentary of their own, but it's not all doom and gloom, as the crew still has games, analyses, insights, and laughs galore. Trevor even tries to do his namesake Busta Rhymes (born Trevor George Smith Jr.) proud with a little tribute to one of most energetic MCs in history. Thanks for tuning in and checking out Episode 1 of Season 4 of Reel Poppycock, enjoy!       00:00:24 Ed's Best Dreads Impersonation 00:04:37 Celebrating Black Filmmakers 00:05:40 Reel Basic Facts 00:16:12 Trevor's Best Busta Tribute 00:25:17 Phipps Really Ties the Film Together?

You wanted Poppycock for our Season 3 finale? Well you'll have *plenty* of Poppycock to point out in the piping-hot pile of pure cinematic paraquat that is "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets." Directed by dirtbag Luc Besson, and featuring one of the least charismatic protagonists in the history of film, plus a complete lack of chemistry between the two romantic leads, "Valerian..." was chosen by KC to ensure that our proper Poppycock quota would be reached by Season's end. What this episode proves is that you don't have to enjoy the film we're covering in order to have a blast with us as we pick it apart. Sometimes you don't even need to have seen the flick. So let the Poppycock ooze through you as you partake in this scathing Season finale, cheers!       00:05:00 Reel Basic Facts 00:09:58 F*ck you, Luc Besson 00:17:05 Clive Owen Doesn't Move Ed's Needle 00:28:30 Laureline is no Dakota Fanning, That's for Sure 00:37:10 KC details mark-a$$ Dane Dehaan's Wet Dream 00:51:34 Dane & Cara must have Failed Chemistry Class 01:08:05 You can Wake-Up now Trevor, Rihanna has Finally Entered the Film 01:18:14 Which Queen of the Stage is Worse on the Big-Screen, Rihanna or Beyonce? 01:33:21 Poppycock Round-Up 01:48:19 Season 4 Teaser & Season 3 Wrap-Up         {credit to all respective artists for song clips used in this episode, all rights reserved}   - "Space Oddity" by David Bowie - "We Tryin' to Stay Alive" Wyclef Jean and Pras - "The World (Is Going Up in Flames)" by Charles Bradley           Instagram: @reelpoppycock   YouTube: Reel Poppycock    Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram    Host Ed Lanier @edlaniermusic on Instagram   Host Trevor Boland (He is old, find him on Facebook)  

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL? Today (Jan 8th) and tomorrow, are the College Football Playoff Semifinals (Go IU!!!) Then Sat-Sun-Mon kick off the NFL Playoffs with Wildcard Weekend. Reel Poppycock has your pigskin dreams on lock, as we cover the 1986 football film "Wildcats." Starring Goldie Hawn as the new coach of the inner city Central High football team, "Wildcats" also features the first big screen appearances of both Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. This flick-pick from deep in the vault has been near and dear to Ed's heart for over 30 years, and he introduced "Wildcats" to both KC and Trevor for their first viewings. Would the pervasive presence of plenty of pure Poppycock persist in pulling all the proper nostalgia strings for Ed?

Whether you get knee deep in the Christmas spirit, or have a bit of Scrooge, or the Grinch, or Ed's x-mas sweater of Oscar the Grouch saying "Bah Humbug!" in you, there is something seasonally splendid to satiate your ear holes in Reel Poppycock's episode on the 2003 film "Bad Santa." Directed by Terry Zwigoff, and starring Billy Bob Thornton, Tony Cox, Lauren Graham, John Ritter, and Bernie Mac, this ain't your mammy and pappy's Christmas flick. KC, as the most technically inclined member of the Poppycock crew, provides plenty of insight into the intricacies of the heist related hijinks of the movie. While Ed ponders the age old question of: "is Billy Bob actually sexy?" Plenty of Poppycocks get plopped upon this picture, but does Trevor too terribly try to defend this tawdry and timely Christmas classic?

Unzip your Brunswick bowling ball bag, drop off the "ringer" filled with your dirty undies, grab a couple oat-sodas, and get ready to roll with Reel Poppycock as we wrap up our 3 film unit on the Coen Brothers by discussing their highly quotable masterpiece of a movie: "The Big Lebowski." Set in 1991, but released in 1998, and packed with wild situations and wonderful weirdos coming out of the woodwork; it did take some time for this film to achieve the cult classic status it currently enjoys.   Ed may not enjoy The Eagles, but he does admit his song "Mystery Woman" may have had some influence from one of The Eagles back catalogue. Ed also described "The Big Lebowski" as akin to the film version of "Seinfeld," making it a movie about nothing; but he insists that is not always a bad thing, especially if we enjoy hanging out with these crazy characters.   Jackie Treehorn may make one hell of a "Caucasian," but KC was not careful with their beverage here, man, by creating the "White Russian - Vermont Style." (Just add some authentic Vermont Maple Syrup to your Caucasian to perk up your taste buds.) And while KC may not prefer their In-N-Out Burger "animal style," they are a Dudist Priest, so they take pride in abiding by the ethos of The Dude.   Trevor's art has rarely been described as "vaginal," but he did enjoy Bunny Knutsen and her co-star in the beaver picture "Logjammin." Almost as much as he enjoyed dressing up as The Dude for Halloween a couple years ago, with his wife Emilee rocking a hot Maude Lebowski outfit. The real gift for Trevor, though, was getting to discuss one of his favorite films with his co-hosts for his birthday flick-pick. Can he survive the Poppycock Hot-Seat, or will his ice-cube-cheeks melt under the heat of the hardball quiz questions? You'll just have to listen to find out!   All of that fun stuff and more, (but no "funny stuff" as the Nihilists would say) on Reel Poppycock's episode on "The Big Lebowski," enjoy!             00:01:26 Big Birthday Boi Boland Lebowski Lovin'   00:04:59 Reel Basic Facts   00:11:31 Ed's Witchy Mystery Woman   00:15:37 Looks Like We Picked the Wrong Week to Quit Sniffin' Glue   00:24:23 The Ed Abides   00:25:51 Break Out the Griddles; can Trevor's Ice Cube Cheeks Survive the Poppycock Hot-Seat?   00:44:52 Game-Time 2-uh; Finish the Line   00:57:21 Was that Throat GOAT nancy reagan on the Big Lebowski's Wall?   00:58:58 KC Reveals their Dudist Priest-dom   01:14:45 Ventura vs Venice Beach; a Poppy.Paak Perspective   01:24:12 Jesus the Pants Bulge has Risen   01:38:18 Real Life History of Jackie Treehorn's Sweet Pad   01:53:35 Auntie Tea-Bagz Appreciation Time   02:02:33 Sometimes You Eat the Bar, but Does a Bear Choose a Woman in the Woods?   02:03:33 Poppycock Round-Up                     credit to all respective artists for song clips used in this episode, all rights reserved}   - "The Man in Me" by Bob Dylan   - "Hotel California (Spanish Mix)" by Gipsy Kings   - "Just Dropped In..." by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition                     Instagram: @reelpoppycock   YouTube: Reel Poppycock    Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram    Host Ed Lanier @edlaniermusic on Instagram   Host Trevor Boland (He is old, find him on Facebook)

Unpack your cowboy hats, dust off your silenced shotguns, and get ready for Reel Poppycock's episode covering the 2007 film "No Country for Old Men." Based on the novel of the same name by Cormac McCarthy, this is the 2nd installment in our 3 film unit covering movies directed, written, produced, and edited by the Coen Brothers. Does Javier Bardem's character of Anton Chigurh represent the best depiction of a sociopathic killer in the history of film? How much does $2 million dollars in tightly packed wads of $100 bills actually weigh? Does Carla Jean Moss intentionally goad Llewelyn Moss into a trailer park plow session with her big talk? Is this film really as freakin' funny as the Poppycock hosts say it is? If you want to find out the answers to these questions, and so much more, then give a listen to this comical and insightful new episode of Reel Poppycock.

Are you feeling that holiday hangover? Maybe heat up some roasted gopher leftovers, and then pop on this episode of Reel Poppycock covering the year 2000 film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" This is the first of a 3 film unit on the Coen Brothers, and we are bringing the heat right out of the gate with vocal harmonies, hilarity, heaps of insight, and enough Dapper Dan to keep all of our beautiful hair gelled up in the best smellum known to rural depression-era Mississippi. So be a homie, or a Homer, and embark on this "Odyssey" with the Poppycock crew. Will the Cyclops and Sirens get in the way of Ulysses (aka Odysseus) and Penny's (aka Penelope) reconnection?

Reel Poppycock ponders the potential side-effects of covering the 1979 mega-meta-movie "Effects." This episode is a KC hidden gem pick, and *hidden* certainly describes "Effects," because this film basically didn't exist to be seen anywhere from 1979 until a DVD release occurred in 2005. The *gem* aspect is more up for discussion, because plenty of poppycock was poppin' off all over this picture. But "Effects" has some good going for it as well, and was well ahead of its time in 1979. The filmmakers came from the George A. Romero tree; with director Dusty Nelson, and stars John Harrison, Joseph Pilato, and special effects and make up guru Tom Savini all having worked with Romero before putting $55K together, and making their own movie about a movie within a movie, with maybe even another level of mediation added. Do Ed, Trevor, and KC think the filmmakers succeeded on their passion project?

Reel Poppycock brings a special guest into the studio, the immaculate Kat Fitzpatrick from the Fake Ass Bookclub Podcast, to discuss the 1986 James Cameron directed sci-fi / action classic "Aliens." Sigourney Weaver's badass character of Ripley survived some wild events with a Xenomorph in "Alien," but will Kat survive her spot on the hot seat in the Poppycock Pop-Quiz? Lots of insight, lots of laughs, and a customary group call-out of "f*ck colonialism" when discussion of the Colonial Space Marines is brought up when they go gung-ho trying to save the day. So do like Kat taught Ed, KC, and Trevor; and employ some "Cult Leader Confidence" while you pop on this bombastic episode of Reel Poppycock, enjoy!     00:01:00 What About Pod-Kats? 00:03:39 Get to know your Guest Host 00:15:37 Reel Basic Facts 00:41:00 KC does Prof. Farnsworth / Alien Extended Universe 00:46:42 Poppycock Pop-Quiz: Kat on the Hot Seat 01:09:55 Actual "Aliens" Analysis 01:59:39 Ed's Extraterrestrial Extravaganza 02:14:23 DreamCast 02:28:50 Poppycock Round-Up     {credit to all respective artists for song clips used in this episode, all rights reserved} - "Resolution & Hyperspace" by James Horner and the London Symphony Orchestra; licensed by UMG       F.A.B.

Do you enjoy action? Do you enjoy explosions? Do you enjoy Dolph Lundgren / Grace Jones orgy stories from the 80's? Well then look no further than Reel Poppycock's episode on the 1990 movie "Dark Angel," also known as "I Come In Peace." Directed by Craig Baxley, this A-grade B-movie was brought to us courtesy of Ed, who chose it as his *Hidden Gem* flick-pick. And hidden gem it was, as KC and Trevor had never even heard of this movie before Ed introduced it to them. Would their lives be forever changed for the better after watching Dolph Lundgren engage in extreme combat with an extra-terrestrial endorphin extractor? You'll have to listen to this highly entertaining and explosive podcast episode to find out, cheers!       00:04:15 Reel Basic Facts 00:20:35 Baby, Touch (my Poppycock) Tonight 00:37:50 Poppycock Pop-Quiz 00:45:00 White Boys Droppin' Like Flies 00:59:28 Buck-Wheat Booty 01:00:28 Ed's old Jay Bilas Twitter Connection 01:24:08 DreamCast 01:39:00 Poppycock Round-Up       {credit to all respective artists for song clips used in this episode, all rights reserved} - "Touch Me Tonight" by Shooting Star - "Ugly" by The U-Krew - "Maggy" by XYZ       Instagram: @reelpoppycock YouTube: Reel Poppycock  Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram  Host Ed Lanier @edlaniermusic on Instagram Host Trevor Boland (He is old, find him on Facebook)

Happy Halloween to all you horror-hounds and non-horror-hounds alike! Reel Poppycock rounds out their 2025 Spooky Season collection of movies with the first entry in what would become a multi B-B-Billion dollar franchise. That is correct, today we delve into the jump-scare jubilee "The Conjuring," released in 2013, and directed by James Wan. K.C. did a lot of research into Ed & Lorraine Warren, the real life demonologist and clairvoyant couple who inspired these films. Are they just gifted grifters? Or is there something more menacing to their tales of supernatural scares? Ed details some of his own real life spooky experiences, and his plans for N.I.G.H.T. Which will be the North Indianapolis Ghost Hunting Team. Ed also tests Trevor and K.C. on their knowledge of the actors who played famous movie monsters in a special Halloween edition of his Poppycock Pop-Quiz. We've got Halloween hijinks, heaps of humor, and high praise for the cinematography of "The Conjuring," but maybe a bit of beef with some of the basic implications of what this film bases itself on, and its overall thematic moral message. So stop smashing pumpkins, and start smashing that subscribe button, since Spooky Season on Reel Poppycock is sure to cure your Halloween hangover. Enjoy!     00:01:55 Reel Basic Facts 00:18:27 K.C.'s Kids Corner 00:25:00 Ed's 23% More Menacing Laugh 00:30:40 Film Synopsis + Real Life Paranormal Activity 00:54:25 Pretty Pretty Podcaster's Headpiece Hilarity  01:08:40 Poppycocks Dropped Like Lorraine Warren Down Multiple Stories  01:26:28 K.C.'s Gosling Surprise + Ed's Mickey Mouse / Jodeci Jubilee 01:18:42 Poppycock Round-Up 01:31:39 Spooky Season Gametime: Name that Movie Monster       {credit to all respective artists for song clips used in this episode, all rights reserved} - "Time of the Season" by The Zombies - "Sleepwalk" by Betsy Brye - "In the Room Where You Sleep" by Dead Man's Bones     Instagram: @reelpoppycock YouTube: Reel Poppycock  Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram  Host Ed Lanier @edlaniermusic on Instagram Host Trevor Boland (He is old, find him on Facebook)

Reel Poppycock's *Spooky Season* continues with 2023 horror comedy "The Blackening." Directed by Tim Story, and written by Tracy Oliver and Dewayne Perkins, "The Blackening" was an Ed choice for his Halloween month movie. This film is a piece of sharp satire, while also being very aware of how referential it is to films that have come before. "The People Under the Stairs," "Scream 2," and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" are all directly referenced in "The Blackening." But one key piece of homage may have been missed by the Poppycock crew: does the mind-reading / telepathy that people employ whilst playing Spades count as a mini-tribute to "The Shining?" This podcast episode is filled with laughs, social commentary, and plenty of games in honor of a main theme of "The Blackening." KC even breaks out a new game they thought of: "Who's Your (Hoosier) Reel Movie Fan?" Where the game tests Ed and Trevor's respective knowledge of films in relation to the state of Indiana. So fill up a nice glass with some King's Kool-Ayyy, and enjoy this episode on "The Blackening," the 2nd of 3 installments in this year's *Spooky Season* on Reel Poppycock.   00:00:45 Ed's Black E.D.

Welcome to the 2025 Spooky Season kickoff episode of Reel Poppycock! Are you ready to see a "Living Dead Girl," or do you prefer them "More Human than Human?" We're bound for bloody good times as we discuss writer/director Rob Zombie's 2005 film "The Devil's Rejects." Each host will be choosing one horror film to discuss for this unit, and "The Devil's Rejects" was a Trevor pick. So will Trevor's tush get toasty as he is trivia tested by Ed on the Poppycock Pop-Quiz: Hot Seat Edition, where hardball heaters come in high and tight with extra-tough questions? This episode also features some fan theories, a Dream-Cast segment, and enough tutti fruiti ice cream to satisfy even the most jaded film fan. Speaking of satisfying cream, Rosario Dawson's scene in "The Devil's Rejects" may have ended up on the cutting room floor, but it does exist as a deleted scene, and the Poppycock hosts throw her some love in their analysis. So dig through the ditches, and burn through the witches, we slam in the back of Reel Poppycock's "Dragula," and enjoy the first installment in our horror film unit.     00:00:50 Spooky Season Intro 00:05:40 Reel Basic Facts 00:35:00 Poppycock Pop-Quiz: Hot Seat Edition  00:43:45 Synopsis & Analysis   01:05:33 Ed Questions Roy's Johnny Cash Connection  01:34:03 Is Captain Spaulding really Baby's Father?  01:41:47 Ed's Ken Foree Fan Theory 02:01:33 Dream-Cast 02:10:33 DAME Helen Mirren receives Studio Invitation 02:15:56 Poppycock Round-Up      {credit to all respective artists for song clips used in this episode, all rights reserved} - "Free Bird" (Extended Music Version) by Lynyrd Skynyrd UMG on behalf of Geffen* - "Rocky Mountain Way" Joe Walsh UMG on behalf of Geffen* - "Midnight Rider" by The Allman Brothers Band UMG on behalf of Island Def Jam*       Instagram: @reelpoppycock YouTube: Reel Poppycock  Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram  Host Ed Lanier @edlaniermusic on Instagram Host Trevor Boland (He is old, find him on Facebook)

Reel Poppycock's love for "Jackie Brown" and Pam Grier is cranked to the MAX; as we CHERRY pick some of our favorite scenes, songs, and performances to analyze from the 1997 film. This is the third and final installment of our 3 film unit on director Quentin Tarantino. Ed says "they don't make em like that anymore" when talking about the classic track "Across 110th St." by Bobby Womack, and KC replies "I don't think they're allowed to. It's like a state law." The soundtrack for this film is phenomenal, with diegetic use of sound when cassette tapes of The Brothers Johnson and The Delfonics are popped into the rides of Samuel L. Jackson's Ordell Robbie, and Robert Forster's Max Cherry respectively. Trevor delves into some of the Hollywood royalty family history of Bridget Fonda, and lays out some of the classic performances of Robert DeNiro's storied career in the Reel Basic Facts. Lots of laughs, and little Poppycock, in this episode; unless you want to count the reasoning for Max Cherry making his final decision in regards to Jackie Brown in the climax of the film. So stand ten toes down with us one last time for Tarantino, and enjoy this episode of Reel Poppycock!   00:01:45 Reel Basic Facts 00:20:24 "Across 110th St." / Summary 00:29:44 Machine Gun Funk 00:45:07 "Strawberry Letter 23"  01:05:41 *Cherry* picking The Delfonics / Further Film Analysis 01:48:16 Poppycock Round-Up 02:02:18 Outro / Spooky Season Teaser   {credit to all respective artists for song clips used in this episode and all rights reserved} - "Across 110th St." by Bobby Womack - "Strawberry Letter 23" by The Brothers Johnson - "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" by The Delfonics       Instagram: @reelpoppycock YouTube: Reel Poppycock  Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram  Host Ed Lanier @edlaniermusic on Instagram Host Trevor Boland (He is old, find him on Facebook)

Many podcasts may bark all day like little doggies, but Reel Poppycock brings the bite with the second of three films covered in our Quentin Tarantino unit that kicks off Season 3. In this episode we discuss Tarantino having a bit part as an Elvis impersonator on an old episode of Golden Girls, while also delving into how serious one must be with their method-acting in order to ride around in the trunk of a car to do research for a role. Ed and KC bring up Mr. Pink's tipping practices, and then discuss how racial stereotypes involving perceived tipping have effected their lives as black individuals in the USA. Ed also has a fun fan theory on what happens to Steve Buscemi's character of Mr. Pink after the events of "Reservoir Dogs." Trevor details a "Brief History of the Heist Genre' in the Reel Basic Facts, and all three hosts get to create their *Dream Heist Team* in a special version of our normal DreamCast segment. KC even has an "Oops All Ovaries" edition of their DreamCast since "Reservoir Dogs" is such a blatantly masculine movie. All that and more on this new episode of Reel Poppycock, enjoy!     00:08:42 Reel Basic Facts 00:23:25 Brief History of the Heist Genre 00:29:13 "Little Green Bag" / Synopsis 01:01:29 Stuck in the Middle of this Podcast  01:42:38 Dream Heist Team {game} 02:02:20 Poppycock Round-Up 02:13:30 Outro / Housekeeping   {credit to all respective artists for song clips used in this episode and all rights reserved} - "Little Green Bag" by George Baker Selection - "Stuck in the Middle With You" by Stealers Wheel - "Coconut" by Harry Nilsson     Instagram: @reelpoppycock YouTube: Reel Poppycock  Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram  Host Ed Lanier @edlaniermusic on Instagram Host Trevor Boland (He is old, find him on Facebook)

Welcome to Season 3 of Reel Poppycock, or as KC belts out in our intro: "We're back mutha-fluffers!" Season 3 opens with a three episode unit covering writer & director Quentin Tarantino, and this episode is on the 2012 *Southern* masterpiece: "Django Unchained." Ed has often said that Tarantino is one of his favorite filmmakers, but how does he feel about sweet potatoes? Yams are briefly brought up, but also how some stuff never completely changes. America has come a long way since the pre-Civil War time period depicted in Django Unchained, but if you think remnants of that bigotry has not been passed on through the generations, then you've just not been paying attention. Stars Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz provided dynamite performances, and receive lots of love from the Reel Poppycock crew. Ed, KC, and Trevor share some of their favorite quotes during the "Who Said It?" game, and rank the film during the Poppycock Round-Up segment. So: "Hey, Little Troublemakers," please join us for Season 3 of Reel Poppycock, and enjoy!     00:00:00 Season 3 Intro 00:04:30 Reel Basic Facts 00:33:55 Synopsis 00:39:20 Poppycock Pop-Quiz  00:50:15 Film Analysis 01:29:27 Polynesian Pearl Diver 02:05:25 Who Said It? {game} 02:11:22 Poppycock Round-Up 02:19:00 Tarantino Teaser   {credit to all respective artists for song clips used in this episode and all rights reserved} - "Django" by Luis Bacalov - "Dies Irae Be" from Verdi's Requiem - "Unchained (The Payback/Untouchable)" by James Brown and Tupac Shakur     Instagram: @reelpoppycock YouTube: Reel Poppycock  Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram  Host Ed Lanier @edlaniermusic on Instagram Host Trevor Boland (He is old, find him on Facebook)

From deep in the vault, Reel Poppycock is dropping a special episode to close out Season 2. We welcome back original co-host Joe to the studio, as we release this episode on 1967's "The Jungle Book" that was recorded back in April. Poppycocks get called out left and right, as Ed KC Joe and Trevor lay into the colonialist messaging behind this purported Disney "classic" flick. Join us as we revisit the theme of: "Ani-MAY-tion." {Only 4 or 5 months late...}   00:00:00 Intro 00:01:56 Reel Basic Facts 00:19:08 Synopsis 00:37:11 Poppycock Pop Quiz 00:45:00 Film Analysis 01:16:00 Poppycock Perspective 01:28:42 DreamCast 01:45:33 Poppycock Round-Up   Instagram: @reelpoppycock YouTube: Reel Poppycock  Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram  Host Ed Lanier @edlaniermusic on Instagram Host Trevor Boland (He is old, find him on Facebook)

Reel Poppycock gets busy living, because the world is all too often getting busy dying. That's right, we take a deep dive into mass incarceration and the privatized prison-for-profit system on this episode covering the 1994 film "Shawshank Redemption." Directed by Frank Darabont, and starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, listeners will find out why Ed thinks "Shawshank Redemption" may be the best movie ever made. Get comfy for a nice, non-life length sentence of the sweet sounds of Reel Poppycock in your ear-holes, and think of what music you'd take with you to the hole, or solitary confinement for those not hip to prison lingo.

Reel Poppycock was so preoccupied by whether or not they *could* do an episode covering Jurassic Park that was less than 3 hours long, but they *did* stop to think that they should, so despite all the dino-love dropped on this episode, it still clocks in at roughly the 2 hour and 7 minute runtime of the flick.   00:00:00 Intro 00:02:13 Reel Basic Facts 00:27:30 Synopsis / Film Analysis 00:49:50 Poppycock Pop-Quiz  01:05:26 Film Analysis continued 02:08:52 Poppycock Round-Up 02:17: Final Thoughts / Outro   {credit to John Williams for song clips used in this episode and all rights reserved}   Instagram: @reelpoppycock YouTube: Reel Poppycock  Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram

In part 2 of 2 of Reel Poppycock's episode on Philadelphia, the social commentary and emotional weight of the film are delved into. Ed, KC, and Jared also share more personal experiences in this episode, while also getting into the meat of the film, and the fun of the podcast. We welcome our first guest host in the studio & kick out all the whites on this 2 part episode on the film "Philadelphia." Joining us to lift our spirits is Jared Thompson: a jazz musician of much acclaim, and a founding member of the jazz quintet Premium Blend. Jared is also a composer who has done commissioned work for Connor Prairie, The Children's Museum, Indy Jazz Foundation, The Palladium, as well as local (Indianapolis) RnB and hip-hop artists. Today he joins in the studio us a cute lil goofball. "Philadelphia" is a beautiful bummer of a flick, but also an important cultural touchstone taking place in the early 90s. This courtroom drama was released in 1993, and directed by Johnathan Demme. "Philadelphia" tells the story of Andrew Beckett, a lawyer fired from their law firm based upon bigotry; and his bigoted attorney Joe Miller, who dutifully defends his client in life & death.   00:00:00 welcome back 00:01:00 Film Analysis 00:28:00 Jared's First Poppycock  00:39:00 Jared's 2nd Poppycock 00:41:30 Profilacting 00:51:00 Further Film Analysis  01:19:00 Ed's Mood Lightener 01:21:50 Dreamcast 01:32:50 Poppycock Round-up 01:42:13 Jared's Plugs and the Finale   Instagram: @reelpoppycock YouTube: Reel Poppycock  Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram

A system called the multi-plane, later adapted by Disney. Reiniger required several years (1923 to 1926) to make the film as each frame (24 per second) had to be painstakingly filmed. No original German nitrate prints of the film are known to still exist. While the original film featured colour tinting, prints available just before the restoration had all been in black and white. Working from surviving nitrate prints, German and British archivists restored the film during 1998 and 1999, including reinstating the original tinted image.
