We take a look at two studies of the performance of masculinity: Bernardo Bertolucci’s classic The Conformist, and Doug Liman’s rootin’ hootin’ Road House remake.

We’re joined by returning guest Jared this week to discuss two tales of oppression and resistance: Mel Gibson’s Best Picture winner Braveheart and the mid-2000s Comedy Central staple The Hebrew Hammer.

We discuss Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation and the Steven Soderbergh silent, black and white cut of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

We return from our long hiatus to discuss John Ford’s elegiac revisionist Western The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and the Steve Martin remake of The Pink Panther.

We’re back for the first time in a long time, with a discussion of Abbas Kiarostami’s seminal quasi-documentary Close-Up and Mike Myer’s era-defining comedy Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Also, Rob is pretty sure he mixed up Steven Wright and Steven Weber, but he is too lazy to go back and check. Only one of them was … Continue reading #57: Close-Up/Austin Powers →

We’ve been on a bit of a hiatus as we’ve been pursuing our post-grad degrees (Rob to help the nation’s youth, Matt to imprison them) but Rob forgot he had this one sitting on his hard drive for, like, several months. He doesn’t remember if he edited it, but he does remember he did an … Continue reading #56: Tetsuo/Hard Boiled →

The boys get wistful with Wong Kar Wai’s classic In the Mood for Love and then blow some shit up with the dark-as-night Michael Caine revenge flick Get Carter.

We double-dip into existential horror with the German Expressionist masterpiece The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and the VOD cheapie The Last Lovecraft: Relic of Cthulhu.

This month’s picks present two, uh, dissimilar responses to evil in the world. In the first, Carol Reed’s classic postwar noir The Third Man, Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles reunite a decade after Citizen Kane to wade into a morass of moral ambiguity from which no one emerges clean. In Sylvester Stallone’s Cannon Films copaganda … Continue reading #53: The Third Man/Cobra →

Join us for our April discussion of The Man Who Would Be King, John Huston’s Connery/Caine joint that’s simultaneously a pretty great movie about racism and also pretty racist. We also take a look at the film that killed the SNL movie, MacGruber – Rob’s favorite movie about Will Forte dancing around with a piece … Continue reading #52: The Man Who Would Be King/MacGruber →

We take a turn for the despondent with slow-core Soviet auteur Andrei Tarkovsky’s oddball memoir Mirror and then cool off with the better-than-Black Knight Martin Lawrence crime comedy Blue Streak.

Our friend Jared joins us as a guest, because he’s who we could get, as we descend into madness twice over, with the seminal Australian New Wave freakout Wake in Fright and the forgotten NBA cross-dressing comedy Juwanna Mann. We also forget Ben Affleck played Batman, which probably says something about what we thought of … Continue reading #50: Wake in Fright/Juwanna Mann →

We take a look back at the highs and lows of 2021 with David Lowery’s ethereal chivalric saga The Green Knight and the LeBron James-led IP-extravaganza Space Jam: A New Legacy.

Join us down for a winter on the Bay as we tackle two entries in perhaps the biggest, dumbest, loudest franchise in Hollywood history, 2007’s Transformers and 2017’s Transformers: The Last Knight.

Right on time for Halloween, we bring you a horror double feature with John Carpenter’s goretastic all-timer The Thing and the quasi-amateur embarrassment that is somehow still not the worst entry in the Friday the 13th franchise despite inexplicably being set in outer space, Jason X.

We’ve got two tales of a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown with Ingmar Bergman’s arthouse classic Persona and this year’s religious mind-bender Saint Maud.

It’s Evil Patrician Dudes week here on YGHI as we dive into the sad-ass Clooney legal thriller Michael Clayton and the ultra-cancelled Satanist drama The Ninth Gate.

We conclude our month(s???) of comfort food as Howard Hawks invites us to witness just how bad the early days of flight sucked/ruled with Only Angels Have Wings and Shane Black tries to wedge some personality into the MCU with Iron Man 3.

Comfort food “month” continues with the James L Brooks workplace rom-com Broadcast News and the Marx Brothers college comedy Horse Feathers.

We begin a month of nice, easy, comfortable movies with the buddy road movie Midnight Run, starring Robert de Niro and the late, great Charles Grodin (recorded before his passing). Then Matt proves he didn’t understand the assignment with the Ralph Fiennes/Uma Thurman spy-show adaptation The Avengers, a film that proves its legacy as “no, … Continue reading #42: Midnight Run/The Avengers (1998) →

Here’s some Original Recipe You’re Gonna Hate It torture, as the duo forces each other through the avant-garde Czech New Wave provocation Daisies and the 98-minute Instagram story Me You Madness.

I suppose you could call this two different visions of East meets West, but we probably shouldn’t — anyway, this week we’ve got Terrence Malick’s comeback Hell in the Pacific-with-a-slice-of-poetry war drama The Thin Red Line and the Jackie Chan/Chris Tucker buddy cop blockbuster Rush Hour.

We’re back with discussions of Hayao Miyazaki’s anti-war career-capper The Wind Rises and the Ben Stiller superhero sendup Mystery Men.

The duo dives into the Riz Ahmed deafness drama Sound of Metal and the Arnold spy comedy True Lies.

Join us for our most bromantic episode ever as we discuss dudes rocking across the ages with Kelly Reichardt’s slowcore western First Cow and the swing-revival Favreau/Vaughn launch vehicle Swingers.

Join us for a discussion of the 2020 Brazilian psych-Western Bacurau and Sleepy Hollow, arguably the last good Tim Burton movie.

Join us for a one-off about one of 2019’s strangest films, Serenity. We discuss Matthew McConaughey’s olfactory method acting, the most advanced and boring video game in the world, and a fish named Justice.

We finish up our December January (no, YOU fell behind!) blockbuster month with Christoper Nolan’s head-trip extravaganza Inception and Brad Bird’s vaguely Randian, Epcot adaptation(?) Tomorrowland.

Witness us as we ride eternal, shiny and chrome, on the highways of George Miller’s action-punk magnum opus Mad Max: Fury Road and descend into the sour pits of the franchise-ender The Mummy.

We continue our blockbuster December by diving into superhero cinema, contrasting the decade-swallowing behemoth Avengers: Endgame and 2015’s DOA franchise-launcher Fantastic Four.

We begin our blockbuster December by looking at two attempts to “crack” digital filmmaking, James Camerons’ record-breaker Avatar and the Wachowski Sisters’ oddball Matrix follow-up Speed Racer.

Our duo takes on a duo of duos both friendly and non as they take a look at the Joan Crawford/Bette Davis psycho-camp-thriller Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? and the misbegotten Michel Gondry superhero reboot The Green Hornet.

We’ve got two contrasting entries in the wider Catholic Cinematic Universe this week, with Federico Fellini’s Amarcord and the Keanu-starring Hellblazer adaptation Constantine.

The boys take a look at the strange Spielberg/Kubrick amalgam A.I.: Artificial Intelligence and the medieval sports comedy A Knight’s Tale.

Join us on The Episode That Should Not Be, as a very sick Rob and a very nonchalant Matt cough and stumble their way through a foggy discussion of Jacques Tati’s monumental slapstick epic Playtime and the latest from Adam Sandler, Hubie Halloween.

Rob done goofed up and failed to get his homework done in time so the boys just had themselves a free-floating discussion off all things Cinematic, plus a little half-assed trivia. Consider yourselves warned.

There’s no way out for the boys as they lock themselves in the claustrophobic confines of the 1979 sci-fi/horror game-changer Alien and the misguided William Castle remake Thirteen Ghosts.

Silencio: This week the boys take a long, strange trip through David Lynch’s epic nightmare-noir Mulholland Drive and muddle through the Eddie Murphy-starring Disneyland ride adaptation The Haunted Mansion. Remember: He’s the one who’s doing it.

We head deeper, deeper, deeper into horror with Takashi Miike’s singular Audition and the ironic boobsploitation flick Zombeavers.

Our monthlong horror-fest begins with dueling looks at the original folk-horror standard-bearer The Wicker Man and the Nicolas Cage he-man-women-hating reboot.

Join us for the episode that came closest to costing Matt & Rob their sanity. If you can survive their discussion of Joshua Oppenheimer’s harrowing doc The Act of Killing, you’ll be rewarded(?) with a manic, unfocused take-down of the all-time-stinker Epic Movie. There are no heroes here, only survivors.

Brew yourself a nice stiff drink of turpentine and settle in as our mismatched pair debate the merits of Paul Thomas Anderson’s midcentury mind-bender The Master and the vampire/werewolf fight flick Underworld.

Here’s a pairing to convince you life is pain all the way down, as the boys tackle Bela Tarr’s existential marathon The Turin Horse and the Happy Madison also-ran The Animal.

Sally forth with the boys for a very English double-feature as they tackle Ben Wheatley’s Renaissance head-trip A Field in England and the cosmic council flats invasion flick Attack the Block.

This week our two ronin blow into town to talk the American Samurai-flick recut Shogun Assassin and the Lonely Island music-doc parody Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.

We’ve got a double-dose of the Dutch master as our boys dive deep on Paul Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers and Showgirls. Would you like to know more?

Join us as our pair tackles Elia Kazan’s pre-HUAC antisemitism expose Gentleman’s Agreement and Joe Dante’s anarchic Gremlins 2.

Listen up, pigs: We’ve got your killer tire movie, as requested, but don’t expect us to get excited about it. Remember: none of this matters.

Our boys debate whether is nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of Nazi occupation, or to take up arms against a sea of Universal monsters, as they discuss Ernst Lubitsch’s classic To Be or Not to Be and the comic monster mash-up Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.

Grab your matchlocks, consult your seconds, and have a doctor handy, as our pair of rivals duel over Jean-Luc Godard’s nouvelle vague standard-bearer Breathless and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s smash musical Hamilton.
