These Boys Are Good Boys

The boys are back to discuss David Robert Mitchell's much-delayed, not much-North American screened Under the Silver Lake. We deemed this movie podcast worthy when Randy saw the trailer and felt it had potential "Southland Tales vibes". Though is this epic shaggy-dog neo-noir the "real deal" or as one Twitter hot take deemed it, the result of an "A24 movie generator"? You'll have to simply listen to find out! Anyway, Richard Kelly un-retire bitch.

On the heels of The Man Who Killed Don Quixote finally hitting North American VOD menus everywhere, the boys decide to take a look back at Terry Gilliam's not-yet-reclaimed endurance test, Tideland (2005/2006). Does Gilliam's grotesque tale of innocence lost and Canadian tax credits earned have That DMX Feeling?

Ethan and Randy are back...with new co-host (???)CJ Prince to host a podcast deeming which films have and have not that je ne said quo (French for DMX Feeling). Our first film is S. Craig Zahler's much controversial police brutality epic (seriously, check the runtime) Dragged Across Concrete. The boys get into the Zahler filmography, good faith/bad faith readings, "plausible deniability" and the odd guess at Kevin Costner's political leanings.

After a month-long hiatus, the boys are back to put their dear subject of Andrzej Bartkowiak to rest? That's right, they're joined by video game journalist Zack Kotzer to discuss the critically and commercially decimated video-game adaptation Doom (2005). 13 or 14 years later, is the film to be seen as simply a small bump in Dwayne The Rock Johnson's path to superstardom or actually a startling critique of American foreign policy? Knowing us, likely the latter.

When's the last time you thought about Bobby Zemeckis' Beowulf (2007)? Because the boys tackle it this episode with the help of returning guest Simon Howell. You can check out Simon's podcast Hacks here: https://www.hacks.fm
