The English Patient

thegoodfilmhunters@gmail.com (Connor Reed) — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000

We're back again, and we're a bit less excited to talk about The English Patient and the Oscars in the 90's. The film is a bit of a miss for both of the guys, but so close to being one of Connor's top 5 favorites. Jon just wants to send Ralph Fiennes to jail, and Connor is befuddled as to why so much of the press and BTS surrounding the film was just about Michael Ondaatje.

thegoodfilmhunters@gmail.com (Travis Olson) — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

We're back after our year break, and we are so excited to talk Titanic and all things Cameron. We bring in sci-fi expert Travis Olson to talk about JC's least fictional film and hear his thoughts on why it's the greatest movie of all time. Connor shares many stories about his viewing experiences and Jon loves the scope and wishes for more films like this.

Connor & Jon bring on the final sibling, one Dima Skinner, to discuss the not-so-humble beginnings of the Fast and the Furious franchise. Jon's opinion wavers back and forth as to whether it is a rip-off of Point Break, Dima can't stand the nonsense car lingo, and Connor brings forth a defense for Keanu Reeves.

Connor & Jon get sent to space prison or Manhattan prison as they examine the weird Euro-action b-movie Lockout, and it's definite point of inspiration Escape from New York. They examine the actual legal action that was taken against Lockout and decipher how original of an idea did Luc Besson have? Jon thinks there's a better bad movie that could have been made, Connor is annoyed at the rules of space this film breaks, and both question the place of Snake Plissken in 80s' and modern action films.

A Fistful of Dollars

thegoodfilmhunters@gmail.com (Connor Reed) — Wed, 9 Aug 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Connor & Jon mosey on down to the ol' West/feudal Japan to consume one of the greatest spaghetti Westerns of all time: A Fistful of Dollars! Since there was a legal dispute over this film, does it automatically make it a rip off of Yojimbo? Connor gets way too worked up over a Rotten Tomatoes Top 100 list, Jon wants to propose to Morricone's score, and the two try to hold the show together through Covid and technical malfunctions.

Connor & Jon set up the stage for their new series: Retelling or Rip-Off. They make the distinction on what films are eligible, and that this is not dedicated to official remakes or adaptions, but to films that walk the line of inspiration and stealing.

070 | An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn

thegoodfilmhunters@gmail.com (Connor Reed) — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 18:30:00 +0000

Connor and Jon are left nearly speechless by the tastelessness of the film that "Hollywood doesn't want you to see." There's good reason for that slogan as it is nearly unbearable to watch. Even so, the boys slug through the film and rag on this weird part of film history that is better left forgotten.

Connor & Jon are joined by Andrew Lewis to discuss James Cameron's debut film: Piranha II. They discover that the film is nowhere near as fun as they thought it would be.

Connor & Jon bring in Elise Yeomans to crack open the Disney vault and discuss The Black Cauldron. The hosts think the film should be locked away, while Elise makes some good cases on its worth and originality. It's a fascinating story of a media giant's darkest time and the road it paved to create some of the greatest animated films of all time.

Connor & Jon start off their new series with one of the most chaotic films of all time and they are not too happy about it. They try to analyze why Spielberg can't make a direct comedy, what Zemeckis & Gale's original intention for the screenplay was, and how you can have so many great actors in a film with no great performances.

061 | Jaws

thegoodfilmhunters@gmail.com (Connor Reed) — Sun, 11 Oct 2020 17:30:00 +0000

Connor & Jon get their feet wet in discussing the film that created the modern blockbuster: Jaws! Probably the most well known limitation in film history that created the perfect horror/adventure film. They discuss how different(and not as good) it would be if the shark had worked perfectly and the beginnings of Spielberg's career and how this experience shaped his future films and collaborations.

060 | Knight of Cups

thegoodfilmhunters@gmail.com (Connor Reed) — Sun, 27 Sep 2020 17:30:13 +0000

Connor & Jon get ethereal when studying the philosophic and whispered Terrence Malick film: Knight of Cups. They ponder how much of Malick's worldview supersedes the Tarot card theme, if torpedoing brings about a more natural performance, and whose idea was the foot thing.

059 | Brazil ft. Steve Snediker

thegoodfilmhunters@gmail.com (Steve Snediker) — Sun, 13 Sep 2020 17:30:04 +0000

Connor & Jon try to reign in the zaniness that comes up when you bring Steve Snediker on an episode about Terry Gilliam. The name of the film is Brazil and boy does it take them for a ride. Together they marvel at the ineptitude of this not too far off world, how every duct has its place, and was Sid Sheinberg right in trying to change the film?

thegoodfilmhunters@gmail.com (Connor Reed) — Sun, 30 Aug 2020 17:30:06 +0000

Connor & Jon struggle to find out if Dogme 95 really aided creatively to the making of The Celebration. Would Dogme 95 be improved if its rules dealt specifically with things that the directors relied too heavily on instead of a revolt of what was prominent in cinema then? Who used Dogme better Vinterberg or Von Trier? And why does everyone stay at the party?

thegoodfilmhunters@gmail.com (michelle johnson) — Sun, 16 Aug 2020 17:30:04 +0000

This week Connor is joined by Michelle Johnson to discuss the only main-stream American film noir directed by a woman: The Hitch-Hiker. They compare the two hostages situation to that of film & TV crews under tyrannical show runners, how Ida Lupino subtly flipped the genre, and just how underrated of a filmmaker she is.

Connor & Riley are joined by Rod Reed to observe one of the sweatiest movies of all time: 12 Angry Men. They discuss how it brilliantly deconstructs the prejudices inherent in the judicial system, how the film doesn't work as a play, and how different genres shine a light on the human condition.

thegoodfilmhunters@gmail.com (Connor Reed) — Sun, 7 Jun 2020 17:30:06 +0000

Connor & Riley cozy up to their pillow shots as they examine Yasujiro Ozu's masterwork: Tokyo Story. They discuss the complexity of the characters, and how the family dynamic makes the film universal even though producers said it was "too Japanese." They also ponder the question: does Ozu have the most consistent cinematic language?

Connor & Riley are taken way back to their awkward years when they analyze Richard Linklater's passion project: Boyhood. The guys discuss the advantages and disadvantages to not having a script, and how mixing non-actors and actors has an interesting effect. They also take a retrospect to Linklater's career and his seeming obsession with conspiracy theories and rebellion towards authority.

Connor & Jon are joined by the first critic of the show, Caleb Maine, to discuss the Coen's depressing masterpiece: A Serious Man. Jon gets distracted by the fact that there were earbuds in the '60's. Caleb hates Sy more than any other film character. And Connor obsesses over the use over repeating dialogue.

Connor & Riley just couldn't resist talking about another animated film for this miniseries. They talk how everyday life can look extraordinary in animation when it's in the hands of Isao Takahata. So much beauty and simplicity is portrayed in Only Yesterday, that it's a real shame that Disney didn't release it to the U.S. until 2016.

Connor and Riley are joined by Michelle Johnson this week as they talk about the hidden 90's horror film: Ravenous. Things get a little graphic when discussing cannibalism, but don't get too grossed out to miss Michelle's insight into the film industry and society's impact upon it.

Connor & Riley traverse through the wild world of Fantastic Planet in this episode. They contemplate if tone can carry a story with light characters. Why this movie feels like one long Monty Python cartoon. And how Sci-fi has changed throughout the years.

We couldn't hold back from making another animation series, but this time focusing on lesser known or underrated films that may have slipped by the common viewer. There will be many long discussions and maybe even a few shed tears to come.

thegoodfilmhunters@gmail.com (Rules of the Frame) — Sun, 28 Jul 2019 17:30:05 +0000

Connor and Riley examine one of the most acclaimed documentary filmmakers of all time: Werner Herzog. In his 2005 film Grizzly Man, he studies the tragic story of Timothy Treadwell, a man who spent 13 summers in Alaska with grizzly bears only to eventually be attacked and eaten by one of them. While Herzog unapologetically indulges in our morbid fascinations, he treats the story with appropriate reverence.

Connor and Riley are joined by Suite 25 drummer Dan Funk to gush about the surf film disguised as a musical documentary: Fading West.

Grey Gardens is a landmark documentary film in cinema verite, or direct cinema. The Maysles brothers took a unique approach to filmmaking, simply turning the camera on the Beales and letting them tell their own story. Is the film exploitative? Is it an accurate representation of the Beales women? Are there mental disorders involved? All is possible with the enigmatic women of Grey Gardens.
