Happy New Year! The boyz start off Year 2020 with the first episode of their 90s Winter Wonderland film series, A SIMPLE PLAN! Jon and David talk Sam Raimi's departure from stylized horror for this character-driven neo-noir tale, the career arcs and performances from Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton, Brent Briscoe, Bridget Fonda, & Gary Cole and where this film hits in each of their careers. Plus, the years of the movie's development hell, a rousing round of Paxton Or Pullman, and how great is Spider-Man 2?!

You work for the American Dream, you don't steal it. It's A SIMPLE PLAN!

It's Christmastime, which means watch out for flying reindeer and GREMLINS! The Lovely Ladz take on Joe Dante's 1984 classic in their final episode of the decade, talking cute puppets and animatronics, the film's merchandising craze, the chemistry of Zach Galligan & Phoebe Cates, Phoebe's controversial speech, the dark original screenplay and the stellar supporting cast in Hoyt Axton, Corey Feldman, Keye Luke and Dick Miller. Plus, the marketing bait and switch of family fun to horrorfest, the Die Hard Christmas movie debate gets an added wrinkle, and the layers of comedy added to the violence that made the film one-of-a-kind!

With Mogwai comes much responsibility. It's GREMLINS!

The Lads get together for some holiday cheer and to talk RUSHMORE! They're talking Wes Anderson's second studio film and their memories of his films both past & present, Bill Murray's career-transforming role, the search for the perfect Max Fischer and how personal the film really is for Wes Anderson & Owen Wilson. Plus Olivia Williams, Brian Cox rounding out a great supporting cast, the soundtrack, shooting sequences the studio did not approve, and some of the boys' favorite moments.

I like your nurse's uniform, guy. It's RUSHMORE!

The Baddest Boyz in podcasting are back just in time for Thanksgiving! This week they're dialing back to 1987 to look at cinema's gift to the Thanksgiving holiday, PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES! The greatness of John Hughes, the greatness of Steve Martin, the greatness of John Candy! The boys break down the interconnecting pieces of the Hughes Cinematic Universe, where this ranks amongst his other films, how identifiable it remains and its lasting impact in cinema history.

Join the Boyz and take a trip to a peaceful little town called Garrison, New Jersey for COP LAND! The Gorgeous Lads of Podcasting launch Noirvember with a look back at James Mangold's 1997 drama, starring Sylvester Stallone and about 100 well-known film and television stars. They're breaking down Stallone's physical transformation, why this role came at a crucial career point, sharing screen time with the likes of Robert DeNiro, Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta and Robert Patrick, and the could-have-beens for Sly's late-90s career. Plus, New Jersey tough guys, "COP LAND" being two separate words, the return of Kurt's Korner, Tek War, and remembrances for the late Robert Evans and Robert Forster!

Being right isn't a bulletproof vest, Freddy... It's COP LAND!
