NEXT WEEK: Tarantino and Rodriguez are back! And this time, they're back to back! GRINDHOUSE (2006) is Kev's Davy Jones pick! You can't stream the theatrical version of GRINDHOUSE (or buy the Blu-ray, apparently) because life is hard. If you want to watch along, we suggest stealing it, or, barring that, renting PLANET TERROR and DEATH PROOF and watching a fake trailer comp on youtube in-between. You'll be missing jokes in DEATH PROOF specifically, but we'll fill you in. It kind of sucks, but such is life. Thanks for nothing, Harvey!

AMNT 10: The Devil's Backbone & Crimson Peak
On the tenth episode of Ammonite Movie Nite, Kev and Jared risk it all to discuss Guillermo Del Toro’s THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE and CRIMSON PEAK. On the way, they go out of their way to alienate their entire audience. No other way to describe what goes on here. Kev does the Loomis voice a few times. God bless Jared’s daughter on this lovely autumn day. She lives in London, and she’s still alive. And happy anniversary, Led Zeppelin's IV.
NEXT WEEK: “Hollywood as Existential Crisis:” Leos Carax’s HOLY MOTORS (which I know was made in 2012, thanks!) and Darren Aronofsky’s BLACK SWAN.

We're working it out!

On the fourth episode of Ammonite Movie Nite, Kev and Jared chase each other with spaghetti, mourn the legendary Norm MacDonald and tumble off the carousel while reaching for the American Dream. Apologies for the echo in spots, and for the vacuuming you can kind of hear in the final mix.
