Escape from LA (1996)06 Aug 202401:30:56

Tequila Sunrise (1988)10 Aug 202201:53:22

Whitney and Andrew join forces to discuss how this movie fails to deliver the goods because it spends too much time on things that don't really matter: children's birthday parties, restaurant visits, petting cats with angel hair pasta boxes, and introducing secret third best friends in the final act. Regardless, there was still fun to be had, particularly for Andrew during the credits.

Overboard (1987) with Aja Romano27 Jul 202201:41:39

We're back after a very long sabbatical, so cue up the jangly banjo whenever the situation gets tense or uncomfortable, we're going Overboard! Special guest and Vox Staff Writer Aja Romano joins Lindsey and Andrew to discuss the celebration and vilification of excess in the 80s, why Roddy McDowall is a treasure, and discuss the writer's self-proclaimed "funniest movie I've ever written" claim.

Big Trouble in Little China (1986)25 Jan 202202:13:40

It's all in the reflexes with this episode. We lean hard into this cult classic and our third Russell/Carpenter collab. We talk about how this movie pretty expertly shows that your protagonist isn't always the lead, how it handles race in a decade that was rather insensitive to it all, POGS, underground poker rings, and so much more!

The Best of Times (1986)18 Nov 202101:09:44

We're back from a hiatus to chat about this film and how it all went wrong. We dive deep on actors wearing fake guts, what kind of beverage this movie most reminds us of, and tear apart all of the dumb tropes this movie was built upon.

Silkwood (1983)19 Aug 202101:31:19

Join Whitney, Lindsey, and Andrew as they discuss this prestige drama, cry foul at the MPAA for their dumb and arbitrary ratings systems, fight valiantly against The Void, and ultimately come out the other side with relatively little contamination.

The Thing (1982)28 Jul 202101:38:08

We come back from an inadvertent hiatus and... one of us may be an imposter! We talk about the cultural impact this film had and continues to have, discuss why there isn't a televised Oscars for Dogs™, and conclude that this is potentially the greatest Lovecraft adaptation ever made.

The Fox and the Hound (1981)07 Jul 202101:24:41

Join Whitney and Andrew as they re-enter the land of Kurt Russell Disney films, though of the animated flavor this time around. We talk about hollow tree conspiracies, animated foxes being the catalyst for sexual awakenings, and why the message of this movie is just plain plain bad.

Escape From New York (1981)23 Jun 202101:41:23

You've got 22 hours to listen to this podcast or... well, dammit, you called my bluff. Strap in and enjoy not one, not two, not three, but FOUR hosts deep dive and nerd out on this John Carpenter classic. We bring back everyone's favorite segment (with a new name, of course), discuss Kurt's hotness relative to everything we've watch thus far, and cover so much ground we struggled to keep it under 2 hours. Enjoy!

We're back after a brief hiatus to rush headlong into the 80s! We bring back some new segments, talk about the creepiest clowns, an offhanded mention of Lenny and Squiggy is made. What a time to be alive!

Dan rejoins the gang to talk about final chapter of the Dexter Riley trilogy, the merits of Medfield College, why the students shouldn't have to fight to keep their janky school from going under, and much more. This is the final film review of season 1 and Andrew could not breathe a heavier sigh of relief. Bring on the mullets!

Superdad (1973)04 May 202101:07:27

Whitney had the week off, so Erich and Andrew slog through yet another Disney adaptation This one takes the interesting approach of making our lead is almost comically devoid of charisma and likability, so listen in to see where this lands us! Does Erich once again try to pitch not one but two additional podcasts to Andrew? MAYBE!

Now You See Him, Now You Don't (1972)30 Mar 202101:24:03

Lindsey, Whitney, and Andrew discuss this nearly beat-for-beat remake of The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. Andrew introduces a brand-new segment, the gang talks disparages the current-day college experience and reminisces for how much better it was in the 1400's, we do our best sponsor read ever (somehow), and discuss how factually incorrect the invisible glasses scene was.

Fools' Parade (1971)23 Mar 202101:28:03

Whitney and Andrew give incredibly salient points about why the remake of this film should star Liam Neeson, their thoughts on the main character of the film saying the name of the film in the film, and how this movie is a masterclass in character naming.

The Barefoot Executive (1971)02 Mar 202101:29:54

Join Whitney and Andrew as they discuss The Barefoot Executive, a film that has several great ideas and yet never sinks its teeth into any one of them. We talk about Amazon survival situations, how long is too long to keep side characters we don't care about in ledge-related peril, and read a few new reviews that made us smile, scratch our heads, and sometimes both? Enjoy!

The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969)23 Feb 202101:01:18

Is this the episode that breaks our cursed record or are our hosts far too jaded at this point? Press play, intrepid listener and find out! Erich Hall joins as a guest to talk about methods for detecting if you yourself are a robot, the one thing that brought Whitney back from nearly hating Kurt's character in this film, and Andrew is just plain thrilled that this movie has a Rotten Tomatoes score.

Guns in the Heather aka The Secret of Boyne Castle (1969)16 Feb 202101:24:11

We're back after a brief hiatus and this movie is, mercifully, not a western! However, there are very few guns, no characters named Heather, and the only real secret before us is: how many titles does this movie actually have?! If you listen closely, you can hear your hosts age while talking about this movie and laugh along as they come to realize how far down the sunk-cost fallacy they've fallen! Will this be the episode that breaks Whitney and Andrew's identical lists? Listen and find out!

Stargate (1994)26 Mar 202401:29:06

In our first episode back from our sabbatical in The Void, Andrew and Lindsey discuss Stargate. A movie that Lindsey really loves and Andrew had a hard time remembering exactly why he remembers specific details of until a light bulb moment presented itself.

The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band (1968)26 Jan 202101:20:43

Wow, what an incredibly wild ride this movie was, and not in the way you might think! Lindsey Nelsen joins us to talk about which presidential candidate she wrote a strongly-worded letter to, racist grandpas, Summer Kitchens, at least 100 other musicals that are better than this, how much of politics have remained largely the same, and more.

This episode has everything: tight pants, bad usernames, an examination of Rotten Tomatoes vs IMDb, close up magic, useful skills for the fall after the fall of capitalism, and more. We also talk about the 1967 "film" Mosby's Marauders, if you were so inclined to listen to that part!

Follow Me, Boys! (1966)12 Jan 202101:09:38

Let's travel to Anytown, USA and follow the exploits of the oldest-looking 25-year-old you've ever met: Lem Siddons. Whitney and Andrew discuss, one again, how weird is it that Kurt Russell still looks and acts exactly the same even as a child, uncover the reason why this film has many inexplicable time jumps, and learn that the cure for drug addiction can come in the simple form of milk toast. Who'd've thought?!

Guns of Diablo (1964)05 Jan 202100:40:39

In the words of William Smith of West Philadelphia: Wicky-wicky wild, wild west. While we can say this is most certainly the first time we'll be here, it certainly won't be the last in Kurt's career. Join Whitney and Andrew as they discuss how weird is it that Kurt Russell still looks exactly the same even as a child, get bamboozled by a lame Wikipedia plot synopsis, and discuss the merits of a death after having played checkers with Kurt—a death that's not too shabby mind you!

Trailer28 Sep 202000:01:44

Welcome to The Kurt Locker. Each week, we’ll step through the films of Kurt Russell, starting with his early work in live-action Disney films and moving all the way to present day.

Kurt Russell is the kind of actor that can, and has done it all. Whether you know him as a cowboy, the coach who can deliver one hell of a motivational speech, a psychopath race-car driver, a regular guy, an ex-soldier who you thought was dead, or even Santa Claus himself, Kurt has proven himself as a powerhouse actor for over 5 decades. 

To really take in the full breadth of his work, we’re watching and reviewing each feature film he’s starred in and bringing some great guests along for the ride including many well-regarded writers and critics. Subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts, episodes coming this winter.

Tombstone (1993)01 Aug 202301:30:31

Unlawful Entry (1992)30 Nov 202201:44:16

A story about an LA Cop who could, at any moment, decide to make your life a living hell? I didn't know Kurt Russell was starring in a documentary! In all seriousness, we dive into this 90s Thriller Aisle rental and end up potentially recommending no less than 7 other films in its place? Oh yeah, and Whitney hears the new "Is He Hot In This One?" theme song for the first time!
