Happy Valentine’s Day! This year we’re celebrating with a bromance, both between Andrew and Johnny and Seth Rogen and… James Franco (No problems there, totally fine, all good, mmhmmm) with a stoner action flick that brought David Gordon Green and Danny McBride together, a movie that would lead to Universal spending $400m for Exorcist rights (and rites). We talk weed, Gary Cole at a film junket, Amber Heard, the TV show Sit Down, Shut Up and background artists.
200 - HAMILTON - AN AMERICAN MUSICAL
It’s episode 200, 200! And since we cannot celebrate in person with friends, Johnny and Andrew bring folk in to talk Hamilton and their lockdown fun. Set in for a lot of Cats conversations with Al Pacino expert Mark Searby, VoDZilla editor Ivan Radford, filmmaker Bradley Porter, Empire Podcast and Magazine’s Chris Hewitt, Variety’s Jazz Tangcay, Movies On Weekends’ Sarah Cook, Film journalist Nathanael Smith, Forbes and E!’s Simon Thompson, Comedian and film aficionado Richard Sandling, Activist and Host Sarah O’Connell and super-duper film fans Jan Thomas and Dave Thomas.
So settle in for a super expressive celebration of joy, love and the power of community, in the time when we are most alone. 200 Episodes in, this is our shot, we’re not throwing it away.
177 - EVENT HORIZON
Do You See? Andrew leads the command towards the big ship Event Horizon, where everything is fine and dandy and nothing is 18-rated space horror. Johnny is prepared for anything when thinking about 90s special effects, and how mainstream extreme cinema evolved in the decades since.
