  • "Foxcatcher" (2014, Dir: Bennett Miller)
    May 2 2024

    Corbin, Matt and SPACIAL GUEST SAM WHITELEY (Comedian, The Payton Years) talk about Foxcatcher, a BLEAK movie about wrestling (The non-cool kind), the world warping around the wealth of an unstable man, the question of what america actually is, and stamp collecting. If you like hearing Corbin say something unacceptably rude to a guest, this is the one for you!

    Next week's episode is about Cecil B. DeMille's KING OF KINGS. It will be the first in a series of movies about JESUS OF NAZARETH, reagarded by most Christian sects as the incarnation of God on Earth. Watch it here.

  • "Born in Flames" (1982, Dir: Lizzie Borden)
    Apr 23 2024

    This week, Matt and Corbin talk about BORN IN FLAMES, a facinating little piece of second-wave feminist instigation from Lizzie Borden. I am worried we get something wrong about it by being white men talking about 'Born in Flames' so please do not hurt us. We talk about the movie's sense of feminism in relation to capitalism and how it feels very disassociated in the present day, the music in the movie, the sight of possible futures from the perspective of the present, and other stuff.

    Watch the movie here. Corbin also vicifoursly reccomends Lizzie Borden's other big feature, the neorealist middle class prostitution epic WORKING GIRLS, which you can see here.

    Corbin's reccomendation can be acquired here (On sale!). Matt's is currently in theaters. Next week's episode is about FOXCATCHER, which can be seen here.
