We've got a FEVER. And the only PRESCRIPTION are these three *incredibly* varied Christopher Walken movies. And now...little man...we give the podcast to you. 

AT CLOSE RANGE (1986, James Foley)
MCBAIN (1991, James Glickenhaus)
WILD SIDE (1995, Donald Cammell)

Ep. 106: I'M WALKEN HERE

You thought the kiss of death was bad news, you should try these movies! The whole trio is out of order! Say hello to my little three terrible movies starring Al Pacino! Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown!  

THE RECRUIT (2003, Roger Donaldson)
88 MINUTES (2007, Jon Avnet)
RIGHTEOUS KILL (2008, also Jon Avnet)

Ep. 105: MAL PACINO

Your number is up, because we're talking about three (dumb) thrillers that have the word "number" in the title! Mostly they're not really about numbers at all, but one of the movies is literally about a killer number. Try to guess which one! We'll give you twenty three guesses. 

MURDER BY NUMBERS (2002, Barbet Schroeder)
LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN (2006, Paul McGuigan)
THE NUMBER 23 (2007, Joel Schumacher)

Ep. 104: DUMB AND NUMBER

The heat is on! We're talking all things Beverly Hills Cop: the good, the crazy and the completely worthless. It's better than a banana in the tailpipe! 

BEVERLY HILLS COP (1984, Martin Brest)
BEVERLY HILLS COP 2 (1987, Tony Scott)
BEVERLY HILLS COP 3 (1994, John Landis)

Ep. 103: TRIPLE AXEL

SPY GAME (2001)
MAN ON FIRE (2004)
DEJA VU (2006)

Ep. 102: TONYVEMBER PART 2

TONYVEMBER BEGINS! Tony Scott and the nineties went together like bangers and mash, which we can only assume Mr. Scott enjoyed. We explore three violent, flashy 90's classics in which he continued to forge his trademark style. 

REVENGE (1990)
THE LAST BOY SCOUT (1991)
ENEMY OF THE STATE (1998)

Ep. 101: TONYVEMBER PART 1

Just in time for two days after Halloween, here are three movies about Satan's monkeyshines at the end of the previous millennium. The late 90's were a pretty productive time for Old Scratch!

STIGMATA (1999, Rupert Wainwright)
END OF DAYS (1999, Peter Hyams)
LOST SOULS (2000, Janusz Kaminski)

Ep. 100! MORONIC POSSESSIONS

Hope you're hungry! We ring in Spooky Season with a trio of Thomas Harris also-rans that are only suitable for a well-scrubbed rube. Okey dokey! 

HANNIBAL (2001, Ridley Scott)
RED DRAGON (2002, Brett Ratner)
HANNIBAL RISING (2007, Peter Webber)

Ep. 99: THE LECTOVERS

Celebrating the work of the recently departed Wolfgang Petersen, who had an amazing career, punctuated by a string of huge hits in the 90's. What was the secret to his populist magic? How was he able to create a body of work so perfectly tailored for dads? 

IN THE LINE OF FIRE (1993)
OUTBREAK (1995)
AIR FORCE ONE (1997)

Ep. 98: WOLFGANG BANG

FAIR GAME (1995, Andrew Sipes)
FLED (1996, Kevin Hooks)

Ep. 97: WHOEVER BALDWINS WE LOSE

Are you READY to get BLAND and MIDDLEBROW? That's right, it's a celebration of the valiantly mediocre captain of conventionality, DAVID KOEPP! He's more than just the guy who wrote Jurassic Park!

THE TRIGGER EFFECT (1996)
SECRET WINDOW (2004)
PREMIUM RUSH (2012)

Ep. 96: THE KOEPPISODE

Bad houses with creepy people in them are no match for plucky blonde teens! Watch out, ya lousy houses!

GLASS HOUSE (2001, Daniel Sackheim)
THE QUIET (2005, Jamie Babbit)
HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET (2012, Mark Tonderai)

Ep. 95: SHITHOUSE

It's a tribute to the great Linda Hamilton, and not a very good one! Yes, two out of three of these are a waste of her talents, but are they fun to watch? Debatable!

BLACK MOON RISING (1986, Harley Cokliss) 21:21
SILENT FALL (1994, Bruce Beresford) 1:11:00
SHADOW CONSPIRACY (1997, George P. Cosmatos) 2:00:15

WITNESS (1985, Peter Weir) 12:50
THE FUGITIVE (1993, Andrew Davis) 1:10:07
CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER (1994, NOYCE) 2:12:35

Ep. 93: FORD FIESTA

The Northern Ireland Conflict was a tragic period that caused pain and suffering for decades, destroying many lives. So that's why it's the PERFECT backdrop for kick-ass thriller-type action! 

PATRIOT GAMES (1992, Phillip Noyce) 9:45
THE CRYING GAME (1992, Neil Jordan) 1:02:00
BLOWN AWAY (1994, Stephen Hopkins) 2:02:45

Ep. 92: TROUBLES IN MIND

We take a hot n' sweaty look at three movies that put the noir in the Sunshine State. There's nothing quite like a thriller set in America's Wang. 

MIAMI BLUES (1990, George Armitage)
PALMETTO (1998, Volker Schlöndorff)
OUT OF TIME (2003, Carl Franklin)

Ep. 91: THE FLORIDA PROJECT

We blast off into the inscrutable world of computer hackers. The exact details of what they do are unknown to filmmakers, but they definitely look “cool”doing it.

HACKERS (1995, Iain Softley)
ANTITRUST (2001, Peter Howitt)
SWORDFISH (2001, Dominic Sena)

Ep. 90: WE’RE IN

THE CELL (2000, Tarsem Singh) 50:15
I KNOW WHO KILLED ME (2007, Chris Sivertson) 1:39:35

Ep. 89: DREAM WARRIORS

Talk about school daze! These no good punk kids (who still go to school every day) are in dire need of some asshole authority figure to give them some tough love. Will they survive until graduation? 

THE PRINCIPAL (1987, Christopher Cain) 10:50
THE SUBSTITUTE (1996, Robert Mandel) 1:06:00
ONE EIGHT SEVEN (1997, Kevin Reynolds) 2:02:00

Ep. 88: STUDENT BODY COUNT

Once more we dive into the exciting world of movie journalism, where pimps and serial killers are glorified by soulless yuppie scum. To make matters even worse, Sigourney Weaver really lays into a Broadway musical. Vultures! 

EYEWITNESS (1981, Peter Yates) 13:55
THE MEAN SEASON (1985, Phillip Borsos) 1:06:00
STREET SMART (1987, Jerry Schatzberg) 1:43:30
