Good parody movies can be hard to find, but we've found some of the funniest ones to talk about on this week's episode! This week we are looking at a faithful return to form for David Zucker and Leslie Nielsen's "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad" (1988), with Akiva Schaffer's 2025 "The Naked Gun" starring Liam Neeson, and a cult classic parody on the blaxploitation subgenre in Scott Sanders' dynamic "Black Dynamite" (2009) starring Michael Jai White! Both of these films are packed with nonstop laughter, and we enjoy quite a discussion on their cultural relevance, the hopeful rise of comedies, and the parody genre in general.

Before we jump into our main features, we give some love to the new Zach Cregger film, "Weapons", and the new Michael Shanks release, "Together", starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie, among other recent watches. But, at the end of our episode, we lock in our picks for our next full episode on "Letterboxd's Bottom 250"...

So, join us as we unravel the conspiracy behind how these two movies are nefariously connected, address the controversy surrounding the crane cast in Schaffer's new film, and explore the lowest depths of Letterboxd's most hated movies. And remember to mind your movies!

From the French New Wave's great Agnes Varda to today's Coralie Fargeat, female directors have long been an under-highlighted and incredibly important piece of cinema. Even as far as 1895, Alice Guy-Blaché was a pioneer filmmaker and one of the, if not the, first narrative directors of all time. Today, Ryan and Shane each picked out five of their favorite female-directed movies to recommend to you! Join us as we explore historical and contemporary visionaries in film, and don't forget to tell us what we missed.

New York City has long been an iconic location with its diverse neighborhoods and its fame as America's largest city. This week, we explore two iconic masterpieces made in the "Big Apple", watching Spike Lee deliver pizza on a scorching hot day in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, and Griffin Dunne get lost in a nightmarish string of coincidences in SoHo, Manhattan. Join us this week for Spike Lee's seminal "Do the Right Thing" and Martin Scorsese's underappreciated masterpiece "After Hours". Before we break into our main discussion, we discuss some of the movies we've seen recently, including the new "Fantastic Four: First Steps", "Smile 2", and Ari Aster's controversial "Eddington".

While we have talked about Masahiro Shinoda's "Demon Pond" (1979) and Erik Skjoldbjærg's "Insomnia" (1997) on the podcast recently, we wanted to highlight some more under-the-radar non-English movies. In this episode, we each picked a movie with fewer than 50k, 40k, 30k, 20k, and 10k views on Letterboxd. Our picks span across the globe from Iran to Argentina and across genres from supernatural giallo to high-intensity action! If you are looking for a hidden gem and aren't afraid of subtitles, these are our picks for movies that deserve larger audiences! Let us know how you feel about these international movies and what your picks for these would be!

From "damned dirty apes" to "pure wild animal craziness", join us this week as we look at two iconic pieces of media that feature talking animals. Before we jump into our discussion on the original 1968 "Planet of the Apes" and Wes Anderson's truly fantastic "Fantastic Mr Fox", we discuss other things we've watched recently, including the new "F1" and "Superman" movies as well as Dario Argento's classic "Deep Red". It is a packed episode where we talk spoiler-free about those recent watches and dive deep into all of the things we loved and didn't love about our two main features. Don't forget to stick around until the end to hear us pick out our movies for next episode, and remember to mind your movies!

What's the best movie house? What's the best apartment featured in a movie? What's the least deadly motel? Join us this week as Ryan and Shane discuss and draft houses, apartments, hotels, motels, and much more from a wide range of movies. What would you pick, and who ended up with the better lineup?

This week we’re talking about a revolutionary decade for cinema, the 1970’s. We each chose movies off the beaten path. First we discuss Alejandro Jodorowsky’s surreal classic The Holy Mountain. Then we discuss Masahiro Shinoda’s kabuki fairy tale Demon Pond.

In anticipation of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland reuniting for 28 Years Later, this week we’re taking a trip down memory lane and watching 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later!
