King of New York

Painter and novelist Thomas Voorhies takes the Blow Seat to hit your hosts with a chaser to their WILD AT HEART episode. Buckle up for the insane and profane PERDIDA DURANGO (1997), directed by Alex de la Iglesia. Starring Rosie Perez and Javier Bardem, this is the "lovers on a crime spree" flick to murder 'em all. There's no shortage of blood splatters, but will there be brains blown? Don't miss this lost episode from Duncan and Lex's audio archives.

If it were 1990 all over again, and someone forced you to predict the future stars of the decade, all you'd have to do is point to KING OF NEW YORK, directed by Abel Ferrara. It wouldn't be an episode of DIBYMTT without Lex and Duncan spiraling into an existential crisis about the meaning of the podcast, but this violent crime epic has them agreeing on monster performances ... and that Ferrara might be the most ferocious indie director of all time. In the end, though, all that matters is Duncan's final judgement on the film. Did it, or didn't it blow his mind?

Who says you can't pick a short? This go-round, Duncan chooses LIFE LESSONS, directed by Martin Scorsese, from NEW YORK STORIES (1989). The duo discusses how this mid-career Marty might just be major Marty. While Lex admits that '80s Scorsese is his favorite era of the director's work, will this forgotten entry (and first collab with Nolte) surpass its runtime and blow his mind?

The DIBYMTT boys get literary with Cormac McCarthy's THE COUNSELOR (2013), directed by Ridley Scott. This time, it's Lex's pick, and the pod gets steamy with career analysis of Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, and Michael Fassbender. But can Duncan handle all that sexiness, plus cheetahs and killer bolo ties?! Find out if he thinks this is an underappreciated gem or a bloated excuse for a fashion shoot.

How fitting that Season 3 kicks off in these coldest of months with ... WINTER KILLS (1979). This time, Duncan dances with danger, hitting Lex with yet another Jeff Bridges cult flick from the '70s. STAY HUNGRY didn't blow Lex's mind; it blew up in Duncan's face. But can this thinly veiled JFK conspiracy thriller with a super-stacked cast bring redemption? Hold onto your sideburns for the return of DIBYMTT.

Duncan and Lex tease Season 3 with a frightening face-off for Halloween. SPLICE (2009) vs. THE DEVIL'S CANDY (2015). Two movies in one ep? Who's gonna clean up all those splattered braaaaaains?

Duncan hits Lex with another road movie, but this one isn't out of the blue — it's one he's been pushing for 20 years. Art Carney takes an Oscar-winning dramedy turn, playing opposite a cat named Tonto. Lex loves the films he's seen by Paul Mazursky (BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE, DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS), but is this his kind of Mazursky? The hosts go head-to-head once again to see if they can end Season 2 with a ... BLOW.

Them boys can't shake the south, cuz they ended up in 1992's DIGGSTOWN! Lex's pick, directed by Michael Ritchie (DOWNHILL RACER, THE BAD NEWS BEARS, FLETCH) pairs sweaty, tie-adjusting James Woods with lean, mean Louis Gossett Jr. in a '90s version of THE STING that has more bobo-honkin' than Steven Tyler in a harmonica factory. It's a Lex favorite, but does it hold up? Duncan decides if it's worthy of a standing O, or if this is just Tubi filler. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Duncan navigates us to the south once again to hit us with his Texas twang. He shows Lex 1985's FANDANGO, directed by Kevin Reynolds (of WATERWORLD infamy). Judd Nelson plays a straight-laced college grad, headed for the Army, the same year he plays a rebellious high school senior, headed nowhere, in THE BREAKFAST CLUB. But while Judd shows his range, Kevin Costner pioneers his lackadaisical brand of complicated cool here as Gardner Barnes. It's the beginning of an iconic movie star career, but is it enough to impress Lex? Strap on your cowboy boots and hop in this big ol' Caddy of an episode. We're hitting the road with the Groovers.

In this episode, Lex confronts Duncan with an animal movie...for adults. It's Mike Nichols' DAY OF THE DOLPHIN (1973), starring George C. Scott. And with Buck Henry as writer (and featured voice acting), that should be a perfect storm for Duncan's '70s sensibilities. But does this seriocomic potboiler have enough sexy beach romping, Scott-level rage, and tight khakis to push Duncan into mind-blowing approval? This episode is swimming with surprises, including Duncan's intimate history with frisky dolphins. Put on your wetsuit. It's gonna get splashy. Hosted on Acast.
