It's bad boy time! Our Summer of Brat mini-series rolls on to cover the sex tapes and legitimate work of Rob Lowe, one time hot boy and current TV heartthrob. Is he actually a good actor? Let's get down to business with some erotic thrillers, sad boner jam comedies, and a minor Francis Ford Coppola masterwork.

EMILIOOOOOOOOO! In the second installment of our Brat Pack mini-series, we cover the output of Martin Sheen's favorite son (that's unquestionable these days, right?), beginning with THE BREAKFAST CLUB, stopping by with REPO MAN, and ending on his outlandish directorial effort, WISDOM. Saddle up, Young Guns, we got some killing to do.

The second film from sturdy genre workman Stephen Hopkins to enter the SH collection (following the gory glory of PREDATOR 2), Marten gets to wax lyrical about everything from Dennis Leary to bloodthirsty lions to Gene Hackman's addiction to Puerto Rican prostitutes. Don't play yourself and tune in now.

It's a new year and the boys are here to protect the hive. In celebration of THE BEEKEEPER, Jason Statham's latest bit of bald badassery, Jacob and Marten dive down a rabbit hole filed with headbutts, foul language, and kung fu to try and figure out what makes Statham one of our essential action stars. It's possible no one survives.

Feliz Navidad fuckfaces! For the last episode of '23, Jacob and Marten throw one of the sleaziest slashers of all time into the canon: the nasty killer Santa body count opus, SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT. Just so you know, you're all NAUGHTY on our list.

We're back baby! After a (too long) hiatus, the boys sit down with Ridley Scott's long, winding filmography, ultimately ending on BLACK RAIN being their favorite. Oh, and they also check out a little (pun intended) French Emperor named Napoleon while they're at it. Secret Handshake returns!

2023 has Dracula Fever!* To celebrate, the boys revisit Francis Ford Coppola's phantasmagoric experimental interpretation of Bram Stoker's infamous novel, before traversing down the cinematic history of the world's most iconic vampire. We vant to suck yo blood!*Well, not really, according to box office reports.

Because "belated" is our middle name, the boys sit down and discuss the best movies they saw in 2023, which cover everything from Copenhagen Cowboys, Italian race-car magnates, and Leo's teeth. Tune in and zone out.

Separation can be so terrifying. To celebrate the new Amazon limited series remake, the boys revisit David Cronenberg's 1988 art house classic about twin gynecologists. Who's ready for hours of graphic childbirth?

It's Brat Girl Summer!

Well, kind of...

We're in-between seasons here at Secret Handshake, so we decided to do another mini-series, this time focusing on the '80s kids from the Brat Pack. And what better way to kick this run off than with three films starring Andrew McCarthy, the guy who helmed BRATS - the Hulu/NEON documentary that runs down he and his peers' dominance of a decade's pop cinema scene. St. Elmo's Fire! Less Than Zero! Heaven Help Us! Let's fucking gooooooooo!

They called me...Mr. Glass! In celebration of Night's newest spookfest (KNOCK AT THE CABIN), the boys break down Shyamalan's ahead of the curve secret superhero opus, UNBREAKABLE, and how it fits into the rest of the auteur's odd, idiosyncratic body of work.

Gather 'round, lovers, as the boys regale you with the ballad of Harry Warden, celebrating Cupid's favorite holiday with what might be the greatest slasher film of all time?

When the moon is full, the boys become Constant Readers, hanging out with their drunk uncle Gary Busey and reminiscing about all the Stephen King flicks they've loved (and hated) over the years, starting with the famed horror author's small town werewolf epic, SILVER BULLET.

Jacob and Marten discover that they really groove on THE WAY OF WATER and discuss the movie that started James Cameron's incessant need to improve the blockbuster for generations of movie fans. Is TERMINATOR 2 the greatest sequel of all time? Possibly.

Autobiography is the running theme of '22, so the boys read Quentin Tarantino's new book ("Cinema Speculation") and then revisited his Proustian masterpiece, ONCE UPON A TIME IN...HOLLYWOOD to try and zero in why all these old masters are looking to put themselves on screen.

Tonight is what it means to be young. The boys looks back on the filmography of Walter Hill and wonder aloud if he's one of the finest action cinema storytellers who ever lived.

Todd Field is back, baby. To celebrate the writer/director's first movie in 16 years - the Cate Blanchett classical music cancel culture drama TÁR - the boys look back on his entire filmography through the lens of where it all began: with the Bergmanesque New England domestic tragedy, IN THE BEDROOM.

Heeeeeeyyyyy Kiddies, it's the sinister start to Season Four! This week, the boils dig up the Cryptkeeper's first frightmare feature: Demon Knight! Will they survive this twisted treat? Or will this be their last Halloween? Find out in this ghoulish gab session. Cue Cryptkeeper Cackle!

We did it Joe! We (finally) made it to the end of Season Five! To celebrate, the boys finally crack open the filmography of Jacob's favorite stylist: Brian De Palma, running down the reasons why his 1984 porno gialli is the Ultimate BDP Picture. Bring the wet wipes, this one gets sticky.

That's a wrap! The boys get together with Brandon to talk about their fave flicks of '22.

Evil dies tonight! David Gordon Green brings home his HALLOWEEN trilogy with HALLOWEEN ENDS, and the boys decide to go long on how all three of these films fit together to create a somewhat coherent whole (and if HALLOWEEN KILLS gets any better on repeat viewing). Plus, we debate the merits of newly minted Tiger Beat sensation Corey Cunningham.

Spooky Season is upon us, and so is a new Hellraiser movie. To celebrate both, Jacob and Marten dive into the problematic franchise and the work of it's notorious creator, Clive Barker. Stay tuned, we have such sights to show you.

The Season Three finale sees the boys discussing possibly the most formative movie of their lives, Michael Mann's HEAT, and how the writer/director's new sequel novel, HEAT 2, plays like a Greatest Hits record for his entire career.

In celebration of Greg Mottola's CONFESS, FLETCH, the boys revisit Chevy Chase's '80s noir comedy classics so that they can compare notes and see how Jon Hamm's latest iteration of the character stacks up to both the SNL vet, and author Gregory Mcdonald's original dime store vision.

The boys take you to the bank (the BLOOD BANK!) with Steven Seagal's run all night Brooklyn scumbag showcase as they explore the early awesome years of the aikido master's cinematic career. And really, they just wanna know: anybody seen Ritchie? Eyyyyyy!

Get to tha Choppah! To celebrate the release of PREY, the boys run through the entire PREDATOR series, including the sweaty, nasty LA psycho cop future noir that is PREDATOR 2. Your move, Pussyfaces.

The boys head back to the Big Apple to explore four more entries into the NYC Grime canon, including the unwoke, perverse, smash 'em up opus that is NIGHT OF THE JUGGLER (1980).

Death to Videodrome. Long live the New Flesh. This week, the boys dig into one of their all time favorite filmmakers: David Cronenberg. Does his latest sci-fi transmission, CRIMES OF THE FUTURE, fit in with the rest of his body of work? Find out.

The boys hitch a ride with Axel Foley to help investigate multiple crimes committed against his best friends, all in celebration of Netflix's legacy sequel, AXEL F. Does one of the great buddy cop comedies still stand the test of time? Let's hit it, partner.

Marten really gets one for him, as he and Jacob discuss the charms of low budget monster movie-making, starting with everybody's favorite indescribable turtle beastie in THE BOOGENS.

Jacob and Marten tool up and get their body parts replaced with cybernetic organisms before getting down and dirty with NEMESIS and the filmography of trash action maven Albert Pyun. Is it better to be more human than human when watching these movies? You bet your ass it does.

You're doomed...you're all doomed! Brandon's back on the pod with the fellas, talking everybody's favorite murderous mama's boy: Jason Voorhees. In celebration of the special stalker's birthday, Secret Handshake presents the drunkest conversation ever had about Friday the 13th flicks.

Marten and Jacob celebrate the mind melting Summer of '97, particularly the fact that CON AIR and FACE/OFF - two of the most insane studio action films of all time - were released within weeks of one another. Plus, the boys dive into the meta Nic Cage nonsense that is THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT.

HAAAAAAAARK! The boys do their research and dive into the filmography of Robert Eggers, including his latest: the über-bloody viking revenge saga, THE NORTHMAN.

The official start of Season 3 sees Jacob and Marten attempting to tackle Pascal Laugier's MARTYRS and the films of the New French Extremity, making themselves super bummed, scared and grossed out in the process.

Cody's back with the boys just in time to talk about the formative '90s nerd slacker comedy of Kevin Smith. Take a ride with them back to the Quick Stop and hang with Dante and Randall to cover the CLERKS trilogy and how those movies (along with Smith's other cinema) have aged over the years.

Sorry kids, Summer's over! In this final installment of SH's summer camp cinema mini-series, the boys jump on jet skis with Corey Feldman, dodge a faux Jason's chainsaw, and finally reflect on their childhood's with a forgotten '90s adult melodrama. The sun has set and it's time for Fall, so let's bring this kooky movie vacation to a close.

Part three of the boys' summer camp cinema series sees them taking a summer job at Mean Gene's rowdy lakeside bar in MEATBALLS III, stalking bloody pom poms in CHEERLEADER CAMP, and finally diving headfirst into hardcore porn with Gary Graver's SUMMER CAMP GIRLS. Make sure to bring your jimmy hats, because this episode is very, very horny.

Was that a *LISP*? The boys pile back into the school bus and head back to camp for part two of their farewell to summer hijinks, covering three more entries into the horniest teen canon: MEATBALLS 2, MADMAN, and ODDBALLS!

Staaaaar Waaaaars! Nothin' but Staaaaaar Waaaaars! The boys celebrate the 25th birthday of one of the most divisive movies of all time, then use it as an excuse to get some feelings about the biggest franchise of all time off their chests. Bonus Content: Jacob grills Marten about his weird politics!

In another SH mini-series, the boys say farewell to summer with a four part tribute to the MEATBALLS movies, starting the Bill Murray starring comedy classic. In true Handshake fashion, one film was not enough, so they paired it with the '81 bloodbath THE BURNING, and the undervalued coming of age cabin classic, LITTLE DARLINGS.

The boys bring it home with the fourth and final installment of their mini-series tribute to Nic Refn's magnum streaming opus, TOO OLD TO DIE YOUNG, but not before tossing in some analysis of it's spiritual prequel, THE NEON DEMON, for good measure.

Volumes 6 + 7 of TOO OLD TO DIE YOUNG try Marten's patience, while Jacob argues it's where Nic Refn's epic act of prog rock cinema really starts to congeal into something all its own. As an added bonus: Refn's doom metal Viking opus, VALHALLA RISING.

Jacob and Marten continue down the lost highway of TOO OLD TO DIE YOUNG with Volumes 4 + 5, hunting pedophiles and, eventually, rape porn peddlers as Viggo enlists Marten in his quest to cleanse the planet of sex pests. Also up for discussion: Nicolas Winding Refn's stone masterwork of chase film fetishism, DRIVE (2011).
