139. Backdraft

A few things going on.

  1. Zencastr is charging us now, but we thought there was a benefit: a rim shot button in the recording room. And we used that button EXTENSIVELY in this episode, but it didn't make it into the recording for some reason, so we just seem insane.
  2. We discussed Backdraft (Ron Howard, 1991), and it was good.

101. The Kindergarten Teacher & The Untamed & Halloween III: Season of the Witch

This week, we welcomed a new guest, Jacob, to discuss The Kindergarten Teacher (Sara Colangelo, 2018) and Halloween III: Season of the Witch (Tommy Lee Wallace, 1982). We also rewatched Amat Escalante's 2016 masterpiece, The Untamed, for good measure. We went way off the menu this week, friends. Way off.

100. Enemy Mine & The Martian & Solaris (2002)

Though we completely forgot to mention it, this was our 100th episode! So it's fitting that we welcomed our most frequent guest, Natalie, to discuss Enemy Mine (Wolfgang Petersen, 1985), The Martian (Ridley Scott, 2015), and Solaris (Steven Soderbergh, 2002). One important question: who do we like to see in space?

This we, we welcomed a new guest: listener Mike! The four of us discussed Heat yet again (Michael Mann, 1995), and to that stew we added Sicario (Denis Villeneuve, 2015) and Cobra (George P. Cosmatos, 1986). Stick around for a special Off the Menu suggestion in which Mike has one of the best answers ever to the question, "Who are you handing it to?"

98. Sherman's March & Brainscan & Near Dark

What a week! We watched Sherman's March (1985, Ross McElwee), Brainscan (1994, John Flynn), and Near Dark (1987, Kathryn Bigelow). Seth L. read not one but two things out loud, including a poem by John Keats, who is dead — shouts to the dead him. We also went Off the Menu for even more shouts.

95. Crash & The Thin Red Line & Fallen

It's Elias Koteas Week here on The Dungeon! We discussed Crash (David Cronenberg, 1996), The Thin Red Line (Terrence Malick, 1998), and Fallen (Gregory Hoblit, 1998). Three movies that involve, actually, less fucking in cars than one might think. Then we went off the menu and ended up deciding that we need to do a mailbag show called Who Are You, and Welcome Aboard.
