Episode 45: FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE

Episode 38: DARKEST HOUR Feat. John Marchetti

As far as high-stress workplace situations go, it doesn't get much worse than having to figure out how to prevent literally Hitler from taking over your whole damn country in your first month on the job.  This week, John Marchetti joins Kari and Kyle to discuss the Joe Wright/Gary Oldman historical drama, "Darkest Hour."

May 29, 201901:19:28

Oct 31, 201801:24:51
Episode 34: EVIL DEAD 2

Episode 34: EVIL DEAD 2

Gonzo special effects, absurd physical comedy, and a breakneck energy throughout combine to make 1987's "Evil Dead 2" an incredibly weird and wild experience, but is it actually good? Yes. It's super good.
Oct 24, 201859:17
Episode 33: LABYRINTH

"A romantic comedy with zombies"... what does that mean, really? And why are movie nerds constantly talking about this weird genre mashup? Learn the answers to these questions and more as Kari and Kyle vivisect 2004's "Shaun of the Dead"
Oct 10, 201801:03:30
Episode 31: THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY

Oct 03, 201801:05:33

Sep 12, 201856:33
Episode 27: BEDAZZLED

Episode 27: BEDAZZLED

Was any star shining more brightly at the turn of the millennium than Brendan Fraser? Probably, but that's beside the point. This week, Kari and Kyle take a look at a weird, largely-forgotten comedic anthology from the year 2000, Harold Ramis' "Bedazzled," costarring Elizabeth Hurley in perhaps her finest role as Satan.
Sep 05, 201859:10
Episode 26: AIRPLANE!/CON AIR IN-FLIGHT DOUBLE FEATURE

Episode 24: THE ROAD WARRIOR

Fuel shortage, civilization-crushing warfare, and gay punk bikers create a perfect storm of late 70s/early 80s anxiety in George Miller's apocalyptic opus "The Road Warrior."
Apr 18, 201801:02:43
Episode 23: JONAH - A VEGGIETALES MOVIE

Episode 23: JONAH - A VEGGIETALES MOVIE

Yes folks, this week we're discussing the biblical epic, "Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie." It's the age-old parable of a man who refuses his duties to God and faces horrific fish-based punishment, as told by talking vegetable pirates.
Apr 12, 201801:00:36
Episode 22: BOOGIE NIGHTS

Episode 22: BOOGIE NIGHTS

It's an extra long episode of "K Have You Seen" to cover our longest movie yet: Paul Thomas Anderson's breakout hit, 1997's "Boogie Nights." Prurient subject matter collides with poignant humanity and grade-A filmmaking to create a weird, funny, and sad time capsule of the late 70s and early 80s.
Apr 04, 201801:23:42
Episode 21: UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN

Episode 21: UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN

Does the Italian countryside cure all that ails the soul? If you're a recently-divorced Diane Lane, the answer should be obvious. This week, we take a closer look at the 2003 Audrey Wells joint, "Under the Tuscan Sun."
Mar 28, 201857:02
Episode 20: ED WOOD

Episode 20: ED WOOD

Our twentieth episode is devoted to one of the best movies about making movies, 1994's "Ed Wood." Directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp as the titular hero, this film follows an enthusiastic yet horribly untalented filmmaker as he makes friends, finds love, and wears the hell out of some angora sweaters on the road to creating his masterpiece.
Mar 21, 201801:11:21
Episode 19: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

Episode 19: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

Joe Wright's faithful 2005 adaptation of Jane Austen's beloved 1813 novel is our topic for this week, ending a decades-long streak of Kyle avoiding knowing what this story was even about.
Mar 14, 201858:40
Episode 18: FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE

Episode 18: FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE

This forgotten classic from Kyle's youth features a wild cast led by a fresh-off-of-Star-Wars Harrison Ford and the legendary Robert Shaw in his last film, both playing WWII commandos fighting against all odds (and a super convoluted plot) to blow up bridges and kill those darn Nazis. Will Kari fall for the charms of this juvenile male war fantasy? LISTEN TO FIND OUT!
Mar 07, 201801:06:34
Episode 17: HELP!

Episode 17: HELP!

Have you ever seen a Beatles movie? Neither had Kyle until Kari pulled this deep cut from 1965 (narrowly edging out last week's The Trouble With Angels as our oldest movie yet). Absurdist comedy mixes with the birth of the modern music video in "HELP!"
Feb 28, 201801:07:53
Episode 16:  THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS Feat. Kelly Quindlen

Episode 16: THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS Feat. Kelly Quindlen

Novelist Kelly Quindlen stops by the study to discuss one of her favorite movies, the 1966 Hayley Mills comedy "The Trouble with Angels." It's an interesting pick, because 1) neither Kari nor Kyle had ever heard of it, and 2)it features a cast of nearly all women, as well as being written and directed by women, a rather uncommon distinction especially for its day. Director Ida Lupino and stars Mills and Rosalind Russell combine wonderfully to create something really unique and special, a true hidden gem that deserves to be better known.
Feb 20, 201801:18:46
Episode 14: THIS IS SPINAL TAP

Episode 14: THIS IS SPINAL TAP

The seminal documentary/rockumentary/mockumentary "This Is Spinal Tap" has gone from a modestly-successful cult classic to a full-fledged cultural meme machine since its release in 1984. The film has only become more relevant over the years for its uncanny satire of the issues, egos, and cliches that run rampant in the music industry. This week, Kari and Kyle oscillate wildly between thoughtfully examining the place of satire in our culture and quoting lines while giggling uncontrollably.
Feb 15, 201801:08:08
Episode 13: WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS

Episode 13: WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS

Vampire movies and mockumentaries: two genres that have been played out to hell and back, and yet writer/director/star Taika Waititi manages to combine them into something fresh and unique here.
Feb 07, 201801:04:50
Episode 12: GOODFELLAS

Episode 12: GOODFELLAS

This week, Kari and Kyle tackle another modern classic (even though it's almost thirty years old at this point)
Jan 31, 201801:08:11
Episode 11:  HAPPINESS

Episode 11: HAPPINESS

This week, we discuss "Happiness," a dark comedy/drama that tackles some DEEPLY unpleasant subject matter. While not visually graphic, it's definitely not a film for the squeamish. Enjoy!
Jan 24, 201801:16:07
Episode 10: SHE'S THE MAN

Episode 10: SHE'S THE MAN

William Shakespeare meets Amanda Bynes (FINALLY)in this 2006 high school sports screwball romantic comedy.
Jan 17, 201801:07:18
Episode 9: THE KING OF KONG

Episode 9: THE KING OF KONG

A prime sports documentary about classic arcade gaming records, with a perfect narrative and characters... OR a messy, uninteresting slog with questionable journalistic ethics?
Jan 09, 201801:19:10
Episode 8: SINGIN IN THE RAIN

Episode 8: SINGIN IN THE RAIN

This week, we discuss "Singing' In The Rain," an undisputed classic that Kyle somehow avoided seeing for his entire life. We get into some serious analysis of Gene Kelly's dance style and whether ANY of these songs have anything to do with the plot.
Jan 04, 201801:02:01
Episode 7: COLLATERAL

Episode 7: COLLATERAL

A legendary director teams up with two A-list actors (including a recent Oscar winner) on a totally original story, and the resulting movie is critically lauded... and forgotten almost immediately? Huh? Kyle and Kari revisit the semi-forgotten thriller from Michael Mann, Jamie Foxx, and Tom Cruise.
Dec 27, 201701:20:17
Episode 6.5: HOLIDAY SPECIAL (unrated)

Episode 6.5: HOLIDAY SPECIAL (unrated)

Happy Holidays from K Have You Seen! This week, it's Christmas favorite versus Christmas favorite as we pit 2000's "Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas" against 2003's "Bad Santa." Speaking of bad, this version of the episode contains all the usual profanity, ya filthy animals.
Dec 20, 201701:08:00
Episode 6: HOLIDAY SPECIAL (clean)

Episode 6: HOLIDAY SPECIAL (clean)

Happy Holidays from K Have You Seen! This week, it's Christmas favorite versus Christmas favorite as we pit 2000's "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" against 2003's "Bad Santa." And what's this? It's a Christmas miracle! All the swearing in this episode has been replaced with the magical tines of jingle bells!
Dec 20, 201701:08:00
Episode 5: THE GRUDGE

Episode 5: THE GRUDGE

One of the sp00kiest movies to come out of the early-2000s Japanese horror remake trend is our pick for this week. Kari and Kyle attempt to nail down the perplexing logic and timelines in a movie best known for its big scares. Will they succeed? LISTEN TO FIND OUT!
Dec 13, 201701:01:54
Episode 4: THE BURBS

Episode 4: THE BURBS

Remember when Tom Hanks was funny? No? Well, here's a refresher: 1989's "The 'Burbs" features Hanks alongside Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern, and Corey Feldman in a comedy about new neighbors who are probably/maybe satanic cult murderers.
Dec 06, 201701:06:40
Episode 3: THE ROAD TO EL DORADO

Episode 3: THE ROAD TO EL DORADO

It's a risky move bringing a childhood favorite to the table, but Kari does exactly that with "The Road to El Dorado," a classic animated adventure/romance/comedy/musical set against the impending Spanish colonization of the New World
Nov 29, 201754:51
