The Dudes check off one of the essentials with 1946's "The Best Years of Our Lives", directed by William Wyler, starring Myrna Loy, Frederic March and many others.  A genuine American classic, this thoughtful study of re-adjusting to society after years away at war deserves all of the praise heaped upon it.  Join the Dudes for one of the best.

The Dudes discuss 2004's "The Machinist", directed by Brad Anderson, starring Christian Bale.  With a movie very of its time, featuring a complicated if familiar plot, and an actor showing unhealthy commitment to a role, the Dudes are unsure how to tread.  Share your earbuds with a leather-clad stranger only you can see, and listen in!

The Dudes bring to you a message of love with 1989's "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure", directed by Stephen Herek, starring Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves.

The Dudes discuss 1990's "King Of New York", directed by Abel Ferrara, starring Christopher Walken, Laurence Fishburne, and Victor Argo.  In a sadly now unrecognizable New York, a recently paroled drug lord returns home to consolidate his power in the most violent way possible, forcing the NYPD to take extreme measures to stop him.

The Dudes discuss 1995's The Celluloid Closet, directed by Jeffrey Friedman and Rob Epstein, and narrated by Lily Tomlin.

The Dudes discuss 1950's "Rocketship X-M", directed by Kurt Neumann, and starring Lloyd Bridges and Osa Massen. It would take a society dominated by male idiots to produce a movie this incompetent, and the Dudes watch it so you won't have to!

In a rare timely episode, the Dudes discuss 2017’s “Mother!”, directed by Darren Aronofsky, and starring Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem.  This bizarre, surrealist high-wire act divided critics and audiences, but not the Dudes.  Join us for a lively dissection of the movie, and a long talk about why male artists are the worst.

The Dudes discuss 2002’s “The Magdalene Sisters”, directed by Peter Mullen, and starring Geraldine McEwan and Nora-Jane Noone. This unflinching drama about religious hypocrisy never lets up in its mission to make you hyper-aware of the abuses of the Catholic Church.  Yet again, the Dudes help to prove that our world is almost unredeemable. Other Movies Discussed: Prom Night - (1980) – Directed by Paul Lynch The Matrix - (1999) – Directed by The Wachowskis  QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What is your favorite film on the plight of the Irish?

The Dudes discuss 1972’s “Evil Roy Slade”, directed by Jerry Paris, and starring John Astin and Mickey Rooney. This made-for-TV Western attempts to spoof the genre but suffers from cringe-y, outdated humor and overall cheapness. This is new ground for the Dudes, and they suffer accordingly. Other Movies Discussed Sweet, Sweet Lonely Girl - (2016) – Directed by A. D. Calvo 3 Ninjas - (1992) – Directed by Jon Turteltaub QUESTION OF THE WEEK What is your favorite Western comedy?

The Dudes discuss 1991's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day", directed by James Cameron, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. This much loved sci-fi action film features amazing chases, complex robotics, and theorizing about the inherent nature of man. Also, butt cheeks. Other Movies Discussed Ali: Fear Eats the Soul - (1974) – Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder Dunkirk - (2017) – Directed by Christopher Nolan QUESTION OF THE WEEK What is your favorite James Cameron film and why?

The Dudes discuss 2013's "Fruitvale Station", directed by Ryan Coogler, starring Michael B. Jordan. This artistic biopic follows Oscar Grant III through the events of his last day alive, leading up to his wrongful murder by the BART police. An emotional masterwork which also happens to be the director's debut. A sure sign of things to come. Other Movies Discussed Assault on Precinct 13 - (1976) – Directed by John Carpenter Goosebumps: Say Cheese and Die - (1996 TV) – Directed by Ron Oliver QUESTION OF THE WEEK What is your favorite depiction of police abusing their power in film?

The Dudes discuss 1993's "A Nightmare Before Christmas", directed by Henry Selick, starring Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon, and Catherine O'Hara. This stop motion holiday homage is not only a technical achievement, but a heartwarming macabre musical that only Tim Burton could conjure. A strong recommend from both Dudes. Other Movies Discussed McCabe & Mrs. Miller - (1971) – Directed by Robert Altman The Last Jedi - (2017) – Directed by Rian Johnson QUESTION OF THE WEEK What is your favorite use of stop-motion in any movie?

The Dudes discuss 2015's "The Force Awakens", directed by J.J. Abrams, starring Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Adam Driver. They did it. We don't know how, but they did it. They made another GOOD Star Wars movie. In fact, it's not good - It's great! Listen to the Dudes nerd out and discuss why. Other Movies Discussed Let Me Make You A Martyr - (2016) – Directed by John Swab and Corey Asraf The Polar Express - (2004) – Directed by Robert Zemeckis QUESTION OF THE WEEK Who is your favorite new Star Wars character?
