Episode 76: MacGruber
Season 6 · Episode 12
jeudi 24 juillet 2025 • Duration 01:31:47
Rip some throats and lube up the celery, because on this very special episode of Remainders we watch the 2010 cult classic MacGruber. We dive deep into the very last, and possibly best, SNL movie. Insanely confident as a comedy playing it straight as an 80s action movie, we check out why this absurdist masterpiece works so well. Crude, chaotic, and classic MacGruber.
Other topics include the careers of Will Forte, Val Kilmer and Powers Boothe, Christopher Nolan’s love for MacGruber, Jon Hamm and comedy, the 90s Batman movies and the reappraisal of the campy spirit of those movies, studio marketing and The Studio television show, the Coen Brothers, new physical media pickups, the Avatar 3 trailer, favorite comedies of all time, A History of Violence on Criterion, and whether Marlon Wayans was a Robin action figure.

Episode 75: Bully
Season 6 · Episode 11
jeudi 10 juillet 2025 • Duration 01:01:38
On this episode of Remainders we watch the 2001 movie Bully. Based on a true story about a Florida murder, Bully is directed by Larry Clark of Kids fame. Capturing that same sense of aimless and amoral young people, Bully is a brutal and terrifying account of a group of kids planning to murder the monstrous Bobby, played by Nick Stahl. Bobby is the source of abuse and anguish for Marty, played by Brad Renfro, and their friendship spurs their friends to react. Mean, dirty, and slightly horrifying, Bully is nonetheless a time capsule of pre-9/11 fear of disaffected youth.
Other topics include the careers of Nick Stahl and Brad Renfro, Batman Begins vs. The Dark Knight, Tom Wilkenson’s accent, Liam Neeson and The Naked Gun, the passing of Michael Madsen, new Criterion sale pickups, and how big of a fan Eminem is of Kids.

Episode 66: The Substance
Season 6 · Episode 2
lundi 3 mars 2025 • Duration 01:17:12
On this episode of Remainders we watch the new horror classic The Substance. Fresh off Oscar attention and walking away with the award for Best Makeup of 2024, we celebrate this gonzo body horror movie that broke into the mainstream. Elizabeth Sparkle is an aging star played by the legendary Demi Moore. When she is fired from her fitness show for her age, she turns to the green stuff in an attempt to generate a younger version of herself. Results may vary, but Cronenberg would be proud.
Other topics include a breakdown and vibe of the Oscars, Conan O’Brien being the best host possible, in memoriam of Gene Hackman and David Lynch, other body horror classics, and Sean Baker’s career and his 2021 movie Red Rocket as a hidden gem.

Episode 65: Speed
Season 6 · Episode 1
jeudi 20 février 2025 • Duration 01:39:34
Pop quiz, hotshot: What’s the best action movie of the 90s? Stiff competition, but Speed will certainly fight you for the top pick. We revisit this commuter nightmare classic and can’t stop talking about Keanu Reeves’ cool guy charisma, crushing on Sandra Bullock, the legendary Dennis Hopper, Jeff Daniels’ moment of clarity, and that delicious unfinished-freeway jump.
Other topics include David Lynch, the L.A. wildfires, Darren’s art show, other 90s action movies and the decade of entertainment, Jan de Bont and Twister, movies we’ve watched on break, biopics that work and biopics that don’t, Chalamet appreciation, and Jim Carrey’s absurdist revival.

Episode 64: A Perfect World
Season 5 · Episode 13
jeudi 21 novembre 2024 • Duration 01:32:32
On this episode we dive into the 1993 film A Perfect World, part two of our Clint Eastwood double-feature. Directed by Eastwood, the film was his follow-up to Unforgiven and features Kevin Costner in one of his best roles as Butch, an escaped convict who kidnaps a young boy. As they journey across the countryside, an unexpected bond forms between them. Meanwhile, Clint Eastwood plays a detective torn between his moral compass and upholding the law. We check out whether A Perfect World deserves to be among Eastwood’s best movies and Costner’s best performance.
Other topics include Eastwood’s possible final film, Juror #2, the end of Hollywood’s old guard, Costner’s iconic early '90s career peak, upholding the 90s in film and music, discovering Martin Scorsese’s Kundun and picking out Philip Glass’s best scores, realizing The Walking Dead will never end, and how the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight is the exact plot of Rocky Balboa.

Episode 63: Unforgiven
Season 5 · Episode 12
jeudi 7 novembre 2024 • Duration 54:56
On this first part of our Clint Eastwood double feature, we're diving into Unforgiven, Eastwood’s 1992 Oscar-winning western that challenges the heroic myths of the genre. The film follows retired gunslinger William Munny who takes one last job for revenge and money—only to confront the personal and moral costs of violence. Unforgiven redefined the western genre in the early 90s and it's never been the same since. We check out how Unforgiven holds up over time, look at revisionist westerns, and ask just why is Eastwood such a badass.
Other topics include other favorite Clint Eastwood movies, the Man With No Name Trilogy, recent Halloween movies we're watching, and how to avoid election news at all costs.

Episode 62: Psycho 2
Season 5 · Episode 11
jeudi 24 octobre 2024 • Duration 01:20:43
On this episode of Remainders we dive into Psycho 2. Picking up 22 years after Hitchcock’s classic, it’s a true continuation of the character of Norman Bates. Perkins’ give an all time great performance in what is more of psychological thriller than a straight up horror movie - although the classic 80s gore is not abandoned completely. A first time watch, Psycho 2 has become an all time favorite.
Other topics includes the role of legacy sequels in film, Darren’s recent trip to Chicago and the return of The Scissors, new horror movies we’re watching for October, Joel Potrykus introducing his new film at the Chicago International Film Festival, Vertigo and the Music Box of Horrors, thoughts on Joker 2, and the Terrifier movies creating a franchise that may rival the all time great 80s killers.

Episode 61: Signs
Season 5 · Episode 10
mercredi 24 juillet 2024 • Duration 01:16:34
On this episode of Remainders we watch the 2002 thriller Signs. Peak M. Night Shyamalan, Signs is a perfect distillation of the director’s best work – masterfully crafted horror tension and emotional resonance. Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix play brothers in rural Pennsylvania when crop circle signs begin to appear on their farm. A man who has recently lost his faith, Gibson is forced to confront his internal struggle and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Where does Signs fit in M. Night’s filmography? What are the prevailing theories about the aliens in Signs? And what exactly does Lionel Prichard and The Wolfington Brothers have to do with all this?
Other topics include Darren’s art shows in L.A. and Chicago, new work with Cypress Hill, best performances by Joaquin Phoenix, Psycho and Exorcist legacy sequels, David Gordon Green and directors working in multiple genres, The Creature From the Black Lagoon in 3D, and Michael Caine’s paycheck for a summer home.

Episode 60: The Informer
Season 5 · Episode 9
mercredi 10 juillet 2024 • Duration 01:03:18
On this episode of Remainders we watch the 1935 John Ford movie The Informer. The story of Gypo Nolan, a disgraced IRA man of war in 1920s British occupied Ireland and his willingness to sell out his comrade best friend for a small reward. Victor McLaglen gives an all-time great sweaty performance as Gypo and his descent into guilt, remorse and whiskey until atonement is the only option. An underappreciated classic from John Ford.
Other topics include lessons in Irish independence, Ti West’s X Trilogy, visiting the Vista and the Music Box Theatre, more 80s hair metal, Riot Fest, The Scissors in Chicago, and the new Films of Faith Scorsese collection.

Episode 59: Humanoids from the Deep
Season 5 · Episode 8
mercredi 26 juin 2024 • Duration 01:18:40
On this tribute episode to the late, great Roger Corman, we watch the 1980 B-movie classic Humanoids From the Deep. The story of a small California fishing town terrorized by human-like sea creatures killing men and assaulting women, Humanoids is the quintessential drive-in film with good reason. Fish monsters, small town brawling, dead animals, lots of naked women, and plenty of creature-feature gore. It has it all. One of the first movies Corman produced after beginning his independent film production empire, Humanoids is just one of many reasons why Roger Corman is an absolute titan in film history.
Other topics include practical creature effects in the 80s, Godzilla marathons, The Walking Dead as a soap opera, Halloween physical media, Nascar in Chicago and Vegas, and Joe Bob Briggs honoring Corman.
