In 2003, Park Chan-Wook's Oldboy was unleashed into the world and changed the landscape of cinema. In the first part Spencer and Joel talk about the film in general - what works, what makes it special, its weaknesses and strengths, and the legacy of the Hammer fight. In the second part, Spencer and Zachary Curl get into Korean cinema, Parasite, Park Chan-Wook's filmography, and a whole bunch of other topics. This is the longest episode we've done so far but it's Oldboy. It deserves a nearly 3 Hour episode.

The show returns to the old west for a chat about the classic Fred "The Hammer" Williamson western comedy, Boss Nigger. Joel got kidnapped by Jed Clayton but Spencer is joined by Mike and Bobby of the Grindbin Podcast for the rescue. Fred Williamson is an icon of the Blaxploitation era and American film. He was not just an action star. He directed, wrote, produced, and made the movies he wanted to make. Boss Nigger is pure popcorn but with substance. Go watch some Fred flicks, he's great.

The guys with help from Justin Harrison get to the bottom of the 2015 Best Picture winner, Spotlight. Tom Hooper's procedural about uncovering abuse from the Catholic Church. It's a powerful, angering, and important film but it's also great. There is a bit of crossover between this and Chi-Raq.

PUT YOUR WEIGHT ON IT! The boys talk about the recent Netflix film, Dolemite Is My Name. This movie shows the rise of American comedy icon Rudy Ray Moore. It's not 100% accurate but a fun time nonetheless.

The guys tackle the serious issues with Spike's 2015 kinda comeback film, Chi-Raq. Mr. Lee updates the classic Aristophanes play Lysistrata in current day Chicago with poetic/Dolemite-esque dialogue and a musical fervor.

Happy Halloween! Joel and Spencer tell the tale of the Candyman with help from Megan Sunday of Let's Get Weirding. Candyman is not only a supernatural killer with mysterious powers but also sexy.

Due to things out of our control, J Dawg and Darren could not record at the same time. So the first part is Spencer and Darren and the second part is Spencer and Joel. 25th Hour is the story of Monty Brogan and the last day of freedom before going to prison. It's a character piece in the wake of 9/11/2001 about broken and complicated New Yorkers. Also, Isiah Whitlock, Jr. does his signature line TWICE IN A SCENE!
Darren is responsible for a few podcasts - A Talking Cast!?, The Cast Next Door, As If, The Social Minute, I've Made A Huge Mistake, Prince: Track by Track, and some more (I've forgotten to put here). They can be found where Podcasts are usually found.

In the words of MC Paul Barman, "Race is a fake idea with real consequences." The guys with help from Czech filmmaker and podcaster, Martin Kessler, take a look at the first 2 films of Melvin Van Peebles. Watermelon Man (1970) and Story of a Three Day Pass (1968) are bold swings at the complex issue of racism. Van Peebles is an American maverick that made his voice loud and clear early on. If you haven't seen these films, watch them.

Since Mr. Tarantino had Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood come out, the boys decided to tackle his 1997 film, Jackie Brown. Spike has a strange and strained relationship to Tarantino and his work to put it lightly. Travis Woods from Bright Wall/Dark Room joins Joel and Spencer to discuss the seminal film, Tarantino on race, Spike Lee, and LA.
