Finding some fun after an intense month, Johnny and Andrew let off steam with an under-discussed Kevin Smith film, and try to work out who they would cast in the leads a decade on.
129 - CUJO
Bark bark bark goes the rabid dog, and snore snore snore go the podcast hosts, as they try to find anything to grab hold of watching this old-school Stephen King film adaptation.
126 - HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE
Studio Ghibli month ends with a guest appearance from Dick Cheney and a watch of a Christian Bale film about wars and heart transplants. But also a discussion on Fozzie Bear as a voice actor.
124 - ONLY YESTERDAY
Reminiscing on other adventures, Andrew and Johnny continue Ghibli month with a ‘romantic drama’ that is more drama and less anything.
123 - LAPUTA - CASTLE IN THE SKY
Ghibli month does not begin with the promised Kiki’s Delivery Service and Andrew is heartbroken, but not as much as when he and Johnny venture forth to watch the replacement film, about a castle, a castle in the sky.
122 - TT3D: CLOSER TO THE EDGE
Documentary January concludes with a 3D feature, full of fast bikes, fun folks and, as with all good documentaries, a body count. Strap in and rev up for a finale and a half.
121 - CRUMB
It’s been a while since we watched American Splendor but that doesn’t mean we can’t shoe-horn in a follow-up in a month devoted to documentaries. Johnny spends the time believing R. Crumb is dead all along, and Andrew wonders as ever why he even does this.
118 - THE KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS
Documentary January begins with 2 players fighting for dominance, and Johnny uses the c-word a lot when discussing one Billy Mitchell. It’s boss-level insane here.
117 - 2018 - A YEAR IN REVIEW
Johnny and Andrew look back over the last year of the podcast, the highs and the lows, and Johnny can’t stop talking about that trip to Nashville he took. So Andrew naturally annoys him constantly over it.
BONUS - NIGHTSHOOTERS DIRECTOR MARC PRICE
Escaping the clutches of the usual recording studio, Andrew and Johnny sit down with the director of upcoming action thriller Nightshooters to talk phoned-in choreography, the C-word and making audiences react. You can see Nightshooters now on DVD and Blu-Ray and on Amazon Prime Video!
105 - BOB DYLAN - DONT LOOK BACK
Music Month begins with a look back at, erm, no, a look to the past, yeah, of Bob Dylan and his time in England. Bob comes to the studio to explain himself and his hatred of journalists, and we all wish we could watch Donovan instead.
100 - MAMMA MIA!: HERE WE GO AGAIN
It’s episode 100 and Johnny believes we’re watching Highlander 2: The Quickening. Cher, Jim Broadbent and Sean Harris pop in to prepare for the ultimate ABBA experience.
098 - BEETLEJUICE
Brace yourselves because Alec Baldwin pops back into the studio to talk about Tim Burton’s classic, whilst Andrew regails us of the time he pissed off the sweetest person in the world, Catherine O’Hara. Say her name three times, I dare ya.
097 - HOTEL CHEVALIER & THE DARJEELING LIMITED
We close out the Wes Anderthon with a double-header, and discuss spiritual journies, Wally Wolodarsky as a person and Owen Wilson’s… thing. All as Johnny watches the England Sweden match in the hopes that this becomes an historic document.
095 - THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU
God help Andrew as Johnny finds a way to explain what a horcrux is, whilst the two discuss Jeff Goldblum’s sex appeal and living on a boat. All whilst kind-of watching The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature!
094 - THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS
Johnny dislikes the title of the Wes Anderson film that isn’t about Kings and Queens, Alec Baldwin narrates his own presence, and reminds us of his perfect Donald Trump impression, and Andrew sings some Klassic KoRn raps.
089 - MARIE ANTOINETTE
Andrew brings forth Sofia Coppola’s last great film for Johnny’s staring gaze, and pitches the film ‘Dark Passengers’ to no avail.
088 - TREMORS
Hero Of The World Kevin Bacon has a degree in separating sandworms from their lives with the creature feature ‘Spoof’ (If Sky is to be believed) Tremors. Johnny gets down and dirty in the sand.
BONUS - LET'S MAKE A MOVIE - WIND MONKEY IN SPACE
Andrew returns to the novelty improv format with Darren to make a Western Musical… in SPACE!
086 - DOOM
We end video game month with a film even Dwayne Johnson hates, so naturally we all pretend to enjoy it for a second before admitting this whole month has been just the worst. Welcome to hell.
