Dudes On Movies

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!

The Dudes' fear of separation culminates at a house party in 2007's Superbad. This crude high school comedy set a new standard for the genre, and is considered by many to be one of the best. It also showcases many talents before their rise to fame. So grab your fake ID and be careful who you dance with.   Other movies discussed: Longlegs (2024) - Directed by Oz Perkins Wicked Little Letter (2023) - Directed by Thea Sharrock QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Who are your least favorite cinematic police officers?   Thanks for listening!

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!

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!

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.

The dudes hold back their anger, unsuccessfully, with 2004's The Christmas Shoes. What do you get when you adapt a crappy song into a crappy book and then into a crappy movie? You get this. Rob Lowe learning it's okay to be an asshole as long as your wife accepts your apology. Good lord everyone.

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!

Join us on a journey of song and pleasure, as we discover the secrets of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, portrayed by the indelible Tim Curry, and his devious plans.

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?

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!

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?

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!

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?

The Dudes fight invading aliens, and systematic injustice, in 2011's Attack the Block! This highly original sci-fi adventure not only delivers the thrills and laughs, but thoughtful commentary on modern day society. It also introduced the world to the commanding presence of a pre-Star Wars John Boyega. Both Dudes agree, everyone should be watching this - not playing FIFA.   Other movies discussed: Chicken Hawk (1994) - Directed by Adi Sideman Hamlet (1948) - Directed by Laurence Olivier   QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite directorial debuts?   Thanks for listening!

The Dudes finally tackle a modern classic with 1999's The Matrix.  If you live on this planet, there's a good chance you're very familiar with this movie, and our only hope is that our discussion measures up.  The good news is that if you were blown away in 1999, nothing has changed since then.      Other movies discussed: Late Night With The Devil (2023) - Directed by Colin and Cameron Cairnes Weird Science (1985) - Directed by John Hughes QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What is your favorite movie or movies of 1999?

The Dudes battle a tyrannical Alan Rickman in 1991's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves! This box office sensation brought grit and gore to a familiar tale, but it also brough criticism. Is Kevin Costner as bad as they say, does Morgan Freeman celebrate Life Day, and is Bryan Adams the real hero of the film? The Dudes find out and more in this revamped episode! Just remember: everything we do, we do it for you.

The Dudes patience is stretched far too taut with 2003's Tiptoes, the insanely inappropriate outrage that entreats for the rights of Little People while casting a non-Little Person actor as a Little Person.  Ugly, wrongheaded, shameful, and appalling, this legendarily terrible film is as rotten as movies get.  It's also called Tiptoes. For God's sake everybody.      Other movies discussed: Baby Face (1933) - Directed by Alfred E. Green My Fair Lady (1964) - Directed by George Cukor   QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are the most embarrassing parts in the careers of your favorite actors or filmmakers?   Contact us below! dudesonmovies@gmail.com www.facebook.com/dudesonmovies www.instagram.com/dudesonmovies https://bsky.app/profile/dudesonmoves.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@dudesonmovies www.dudesonmovies.com
