235 - The General
Yesterday
235 - The General
The Dudes go silent for once in their lives with 1926's The General.  Buster Keaton's masterpiece about a courageous train engineer in The American Civil War is both essential viewing for cinephiles, and morally reprehensible.  We always welcome challenging films, and thankfully this one is so expertly crafted, you almost....you know what, no. It makes Southerners the heroes, and that part is indefensible.  Still, what a movie, everybody!       Other movies discussed: Alien : Romulus (2024) - Directed by Fede Alvarez Caged Heat (1974) - Directed by Jonathan Demme QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite silent movies?   Thanks for listening!

234 - Stand By Me
Sep 2 2024
234 - Stand By Me
The Dudes want to see a dead body in 1986's Stand By Me. This coming of age tale follows four friends on a journey where they unexpectedly grow as individuals, address past traumas, and gain reverence for things most adolescents ignore. It contains some of the best kid acting ever put to film, and is a nearly perfect experience. Pause this podcast and watch it now.   Other movies discussed: Affliction (1997) - Directed by Paul Schrader Angel (1984) - Directed by Robert Vincent O'Neil QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What movies do you remember watching with a babysitter?   Thanks for listening!

233 - Predator
Aug 26 2024
233 - Predator
The Dudes go topless in the jungle and get chased by one ugly.... with 1987's Predator.  Oft-quoted, oft-referenced, and oft-memed, this movie defines 80s excess, and still entertains almost 40 years later.  So air-arm-wrestle your best frenemy and paint stripes on your face for...an advantage?  Who cares, this is a damned good time.     Other movies discussed: Party Girl (1995) - Directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer Immaculate (2024) - Directed by Michael Mohan QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite movies featuring professional wrestlers?   Thanks for listening!

232 - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
The Dudes take a voyage of pure imagination in 1971's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. This children's fantasy favorite brings humor and adventure for all ages, with a sugary coating of social commentary. It's weirdly delightful and worth every second of your time, but if you want admission, you'll need a golden ticket.   Other movies discussed: The Doom Generation (1995) - Gregg Araki Going My Way (1944) - Leo McCarey QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your earliest memories of a book you read being made into a movie?   Thanks for listening!

231 - Super Mario Bros (1993)
Aug 12 2024
231 - Super Mario Bros (1993)
The Dudes warp to what they're told is the Mushroom Kingdom with 1993's Super Mario Bros.  Nintendo screened this film, saw what was done with their iconic game and characters, and left The Movie Business forever.  An extreme reaction, but a fair one.  This movie is really dumb everybody, but now and then that's how we like it.      Other movies discussed: Snake Eyes (1998) - Directed by Brian DePalma Civil War (2024) - Directed by Alex Garland QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What movies that you looked forward to were the biggest disappointments?   Thanks for listening!

229 - The Menu
Jul 29 2024
229 - The Menu
The Dudes are presented with tacos that might hold up in court with 2022's The Menu.  Do you despise the wealthy and the pretentious?  Then prepare yourself for roughly 100 minutes of massively creative frontier justice visited on people who are brand-new to consequences.  Do not eat.  Taste, savor, relish.  Then die with those who give.   Other movies discussed: Waking Ned Devine (1998) - Directed by Kirk Jones Quiz Show (1994) - Directed by Robert Redford QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite movies about food?   Thanks for listening!

228 - Wet Hot American Summer
Jul 22 2024
228 - Wet Hot American Summer
The Dudes head to summer camp in 2001's Wet Hot American Summer. This absurdist parody takes conventions from popular summer camp movies of the 70s and 80s and spins them on their head. It also features a who's who cast of actors that will keep you saying "Oh, they're in this?" Just be sure to keep your eyes on the sky.   Other movies discussed: Hour of the Wolf (1968) - Directed by Ingmar Bergman Knox Goes Away (2023) - Directed by Michael Keaton QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite movies about summer camp?   Thanks for listening!

227 - Michael Clayton
Jul 15 2024
227 - Michael Clayton
The Dudes aren't the guys you kill, they're the guys you buy, with 2007's Michael Clayton.  This well-acted, suspenseful, legal thriller is George Clooney at his smoldering best, while Tilda Swinton and Tom Wilkinson show you why they're two of the best to ever do it.  So curl up with a gripping Fantasy novel, and then irreparably embarrass your colleagues with this modern classic!      Other movies discussed: Caged (1950) - Directed by John Cromwell The Great Ziegfeld (1936) - Directed by Robert Z. Leonard QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite movies with extended monologues?   Thanks for listening! If you want more Dudes on Movies, check out the links below.

225 - The Iron Claw
Jul 1 2024
225 - The Iron Claw
The Dudes head to the Dallas Territory with 2023's The Iron Claw. The Von Erichs captivated wrestling fans, and the tragedy of them dying so young and so needlessly is an important story that needed to be told.  And while you'll likely cry when you see this film, you'll somehow leave smiling too.  Sing it with us now: "I wanna live that waaaayyyy, forever...."       Other movies discussed: Little Odessa (1994) - Directed by James Gray Witness For The Prosecution (1957) - Directed by Billy Wilder QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What stories that interest you haven't yet been made into a movie?   Thanks for listening!

223 - Go Fish
The Dudes celebration of Pride 2024 rolls on with 1994's Go Fish! This artistic, highly personal film is pure class, and when you realize they did it all with no money, it becomes even more impressive.  Intimate, funny, and groundbreaking, this one is still referenced 30 years later as an inspiration to all independent filmmakers, and it deserves all your attention!   Other movies discussed: Juice (1992) - Directed by Ernest Dickerson Easy A (2010) - Directed by Will Gluck QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are the most unusual love stories?

222 - Paris is Burning
The Dudes continue Pride 2024 with 1990's Paris is Burning! This documentary gives an unrelenting look at late 80's ball-culture in New York City, and has been placed in the National Library of Congress for being culturally significant. It's a candid look that's simultaneously fun and heartbreaking.  We see it all: the good, the bad, and the fabulous.   Other movies discussed: Speak No Evil (2022) - Directed by Christian Tafdrup Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) - Directed by Peter Weir   QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite movies about subcultures?   Thanks for listening!

221 - My Own Private Idaho
Jun 3 2024
221 - My Own Private Idaho
The Dudes elegantly start Pride 2024 with 1991's My Own Private Idaho.  Part Shakespeare, part faux-documentary, part avant-garde experiment, this genre-defying classic gave moviegoers a new perspective on street life, and showcased its two famous leads in ways we hadn't seen before.  So tune in for a discussion on New Queer Cinema, and Udo Kier appreciation.      Other movies discussed: Advise and Consent (1962) - Directed by Otto Preminger Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) - Directed by Ang Lee QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What movies were you forbidden from seeing during your youth?

May 27 2024
220 - The Incredible Shrinking Man
The Dudes get blasted with radiation in 1957's The Incredible Shrinking Man! What first seems like a silly tale of nuclear danger turns out to be so much more, tackling philosophical issues about what it means to be human, and how we too often take for granted the small things in life. Great special effects, and a compelling story will leave you talking about this gem long after the credits roll. And you'll never look at your cat the same way! Other movies discussed: The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) - Directed by Vincente Minnelli Bug (2006) - Directed by William Friedkin QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite 1950s science fiction films?   Thanks for listening!

219 - Mortal Kombat
The Dudes scream a movie title at you before the opening credits roll with 1995's Mortal Kombat.  Based on a video game that shaped our culture for better and worse, this less violent live-action adaptation features impressive fighting and attractive locations.  So GET OVER HERE...and...FINISH HIM...and...FLAWLESS VICTORY...Man, the 90s were great.     Other movies discussed: Drowning By Numbers (1988) - Directed by Peter Greenaway Manhunter (1985) - Directed by Michael Mann QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite movies based on video games?
