Today we end our malformed Halloween season with a look at Brian De Palma’s trippy musical extravaganza, “Phantom of the Paradise.” Before Andrew Lloyd Weber gave the world his lesser-known version of Leroux’s famous novel, the bell-bottomed population of the 1970s was subjected to this prog/folk acid trip. The plot concerns a weird and disturbing composer who is maimed and …
#Hindsighters, Darth and Jason have been making ongoing promises of bigger and better things to come in their second season, and damned if they didn’t deliver. Friends and family, trolls and fans, you may have noticed that Darth and Jason have made the seamless transition to the social media frontier of Youtube. Oh yes, your most daring podcasters have taken …
How the Grinch Stole Christmas. *The one with Jim Carrey* In a magical world that exists on a snowflake…Cindy Lou Who is an antagonist! WHO knew? We’ll see ourselves out… This week, Darth and Jason welcome brand new (and unsuspecting) guest, Alli, to discuss How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Hindsighters, this episode forces Darth and Jason to ask … WHY …
Ernest Scared Stupid: “I Sure Hope You’re From Keebler!” On this delightful episode, Darth’s friend Jeremy (whose headstone will read “Ernest Scared Stupid ‘Expert’ #TombstoneMoment”) joins in for some Halloween fun in the studio to discuss a staple of all our childhoods, Ernest P. Worrell. For most of us, Ernest was such a constant presence in our lives that we …
10 Things I Hate About You : “I Heard He Ate a Live Duck Once.” *DISCLAIMER* Darth takes NO RESPONSIBILITY for these show notes. The men on this particular episode are the conductors of the Hot Mess Express. Also, we have to formally apologize to Randy and decent human beings everywhere because Adam Brown remains the King of wildly necessary …
Night Shift: Edible paper! You Eat it, it’s Gone…Eat it, it’s Outta There! Welcome to our first (and hopefully regular) ménage à quad! *term trademarked by Adam Brown* #Hindsighters (as Katie has aptly labeled you), it’s hoes before bros on Part 1 of this brand-new type of episode. Darth and Katie challenge Jason and Adam Brown in a cinematic battle …
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen – Is There a Doctor in the Fish? Drop some acid, smoke some peyote. Do what you’ve got to do to prepare yourself for one of the trippiest movies of all time. But what else can you expect from Terry Gilliam, a.k.a the animation hippie of the Monty Python universe? Welcome to The Adventures of …
Death Race 2000: Try Not to Think About Auto Erotic Asphyxiation. On this week’s episode, Jason gains gender support from our first male guest, podcast virgin, Adam, who selected one of the most bizarre and fantastic movies that Darth has ever seen. And she remembers the time of VHS! You might be surprised that Adam was disciplined enough to stay …
SOMEBODY, STOP ME! And the Oscar for Tightest Red Dress goes to…Cameron Diaz (a.k.a. the human Jessica Rabbit in The Mask)! Don’t be fooled, gang. Jason pretends to hate this amazing movie while TOTALLY appreciating all of Cameron’s ASSets. The lesson to be taken from this is that you, too, can fall in mutual VD if you wait long enough …
Beetlejuice: Welcome to the afterlife of arbitrary rules and DMV lines. BREAKING NEWS: JASON HATES PETER JACKSON AND ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. He also doesn’t know the difference between Australia and New Zealand or Julia Roberts and Geena Davis (who was in Thelma and Louise, The Fly, and Earth Girls are Easy, just to name 3). You can make fun …
Night Court: Welcome to dime-a-dozen crimes and extremely dirty humor! Happy birthday! Jason turns 40 and tells us about a show from his childhood back in the early 1900s. Just kidding, we discuss the hilarious and wacky Night Court, which aired in 1984. This show is so dirty that even the kids who appear in the episodes are scandalously licentious. …
Welcome to the new world order: Antz Bugs. Communism. Woody Allen. Does it get better than Antz? Welcome back down this rabbit hole, or rather, ant hill, of a podcast. In this particular movie, Jason and I (@Darth_Jader_) discover that Sylvester Stallone is the Juggernaut of ants, and men only affect social change so they can win the girl. On …
Who Ya Gonna Call? GHOSTBUSTERS! Welcome to the first episode where we basically nerd out as opposed to searching for Dad Jokes and deviant humor in “family friendly” entertainment. Yep. The podcast evolved that quickly. Beyond that, we know our episodes are ridiculously long, but you know you love it. So this time around, Jason gets his first pick in …
