    Episode 62: Disclosure (1994)
    Oct 8 2023
    So it's the early 90's and you're a Movie Producer and you've got the rights to a tech thriller with a odd sexual harassment angle written by the guy who did Jurassic Park. So you cast arguably the hottest actress working at that moment in time and Michael Douglas hot of the heels of the biggest and sweatiest erotic thriller of all time, Basic Instinct. Slam dunk right? this film will tick all the box and everyone will watch it for the right reasons right? Did we get a sexy marketing campaign? We did right? No problems then. squeeze in some CGI and, what's that? We can't put Dinosaurs in this? Okay. Figure that out later.

    Episode 60: American Hustle (2013)
    Jul 2 2023
    So to answer your most pressing question up top, this film is in no way related to the British TV series that shares some of its namesake. Just in case you were confused and were wondering how these two things were related. That said, they are both meant to be about loveable rouges extracting some measure of justice out of greedy people. Right? Well Mike and Craig dive deep. You're welcome.

    Episode 59: Empire Records (1995)
    May 15 2023
    So it's the 90's and you've got a movie idea that circles around late teen Gen X'ers working in a record store with their stand in father figure who is still young enough to be relevant, boss. You've got a message you want to spread about being authentic and staying true to yourself. So what do you do? Do you go down the Clerks route and create a meta textural slice of life film big on realism with everyday characters that features very heavy commentary on pop culture that helps define the generation. Or do you create a film that wants to skewer corporatization of society by producing a film that smacks heavily of corporatization with a narratively simple plot that manages scrapes by aided in no small part by a soundtrack that screams "this is my generation"? Well Craig and Mike did all the watching so you can do all the listening. You're Welcome!

    Episode 58: Argo (2012)
    Mar 5 2023
    Well, this best picture winner from 2013 might not need any introduction as it was a big hit and well, it took home Best Picture at the Oscars. So we'll forgive you if you think "Isn't this a little good for you guys"? And you're right! This film is super solid. But has it stood the test of time. Does it still hold the public collective eye? What else that year might have aged better? If you're thinking that, well then you're in the right place. Craig and Mike talk Argo, the state of New Zealand politics at the time and the best picture winners from 2012. You're welcome.
