Rashomon (1950)

jasonfurie@jasonfurie.com (Adam Roth, Jason Furie) — Fri, 8 Jul 2022 05:05:00 +0000

One crime. Four versions of the truth. Rashomon (1950) was director Akira Kurosawa's international breakthrough film, and for good reason. A highly influential film that created a new narrative structure that is still borrowed and celebrated in film's we see today. This is the dawn of the unreliable narrator and completely re-imagined how filmmakers approach flashbacks. While the influence in undeniable, is the film any good? And does is stand the test of time? Jason Furie and Adam Roth attempt to dissect this one. We tried.

Blood Simple (1984)

jasonfurie@jasonfurie.com (Jason Furie, Adam Roth) — Thu, 11 Nov 2021 04:10:20 +0000

The film Blood Simple (1984) was a launch pad for a lot of top Hollywood talent including Joel and Ethan Coen, Barry Sonnenfeld, and Frances McDormand. It's also a pretty solid flick. Kinda like the Evil Dead of film noir. Jason Furie and Adam Roth review and discuss this dark, gritty, and violent film featuring an excellent ensemble cast. They also try and figure out if it has anything to do with JTT or The Lion King. Maybe?

jasonfurie@jasonfurie.com (Jason Furie, Adam Roth) — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 03:12:25 +0000

Frank Herbert's sci-fi masterpiece Dune is getting yet another reboot after David Lynch's 1984 cult classic, and the SyFy mini series from 2000. This time around director Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2049, Arrival) gives it a go alongside a slew of awesome acting talent. How does this new film compare to the book and previous movie and TV iterations? Was deciding to divide the adaptation of the first book into 2 films a good idea? Do Jason Furie and Adam Roth enjoy eating stale Cadbury Creme eggs? Only one way to find out friends.

Squid Game

jasonfurie@jasonfurie.com (Jason Furie, Adam Roth) — Thu, 14 Oct 2021 04:02:18 +0000

Squid Game is the most watched Netflix Original Series to date. Jason Furie and Adam Roth had to climb aboard the hype-train and witness what all the fuss was about. Believe the hype, Squid Game is here and it's pretty awesome. Sure there's some obvious inspiration pulled from Battle Royale, but that's ok because this is much better than The Hunger Games. Sorry Katniss. We review all 9 episodes of this highly entertaining pop-culture phenomenon.

Star Wars: Visions

jasonfurie@jasonfurie.com (Jason Furie, Adam Roth) — Thu, 7 Oct 2021 04:46:48 +0000

There's no denying the influence of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai when it comes to the Star Wars Universe. So it's fitting that Disney+ has released the anime anthology series Star Wars: Visions paying homage to classic samurai films. Jason Furie and Adam Roth provide an episode by episode review revealing which episodes follow the path of the Jedi, and which ones fall victim to the dark side. Oh and we already forget what happened in a handful of these episodes. So theres's that.

Malignant (2021)

jasonfurie@jasonfurie.com (Jason Furie, Adam Roth) — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 02:38:55 +0000

This movie is bad. Like, really bad. James Wan is a very capable writer and director, but his latest film Malignant (2021) is just offensively bad on so many levels. Jason Furie and Adam Roth break it down and review Wan's return to the horror genre while being completely baffled why this movie has so much positive buzz. What has become of the horror genre? This can't be the future.

Kate (2021)

jasonfurie@jasonfurie.com (Adam Roth, Jason Furie) — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 06:26:50 +0000

Are Netflix Originals the equivalent to straight-to-DVD movies or the dawn of a new era in cinematic history? Or maybe somewhere in-between? Jason Furie and Adam Roth review the latest Netflix Original Kate starring the under-appreciated Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Woody "I'm just here for the paycheck" Harrelson. Does this John Wick clone have what it takes to be remembered as an action flick masterpiece? Wait, did Adam even see John Wick!?

Stalker (1979)

jasonfurie@jasonfurie.com (Jason Furie, Adam Roth) — Thu, 2 Sep 2021 05:23:39 +0000

This film demands your full attention. Jason Furie fully committed his mind and body to this experience while Adam Roth possibly did no such thing and now lives in regret. Guess who enjoyed this film more? We review Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 sci-fi cult classic "Stalker" that is sure to generate some conflicting opinions and interpretations. If you're going to watch this one, be sure get The Criterion Collection edition 2K remaster. It's amazing.

Adam Roth and Jason Furie review Robert Altman's neo noir classic "The Long Goodbye" (1973) starring Elliott Gould as iconic private investigator Phillip Marlowe. Go watch this movie and then give this episode a listen. Instead of popcorn, get a bowl of dried apricots. Trust us.

The Suicide Squad (2021)

jasonfurie@jasonfurie.com (Jason Furie, Adam Roth) — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 05:55:10 +0000

It's not quite a sequel. It's not quite a reboot. But it's 100% weird and awesome. Director James Gunn takes a stab at the DCEU and gives audiences his version of The Suicide Squad. Is it better than the 2016 original? Adam Roth and Jason Furie say yes to this hyper-violent romp featuring an all-star ensemble cast, epic action, and some truly bizarre and fun sci-fi elements.
