Donnie Darko (2001)

Join us this week for the 35th anniversary of Oliver Stone's conspiracy theory masterpiece that asks us to do our own thinking, JFK.

They're coming to get you podcast audience...and by they we mean us, because after a long absence we are back covering the ultimate zombie classic, George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead.

On July 18th fighter Phoenix DelVecchio heads into the cage for his latest battle of his MMA career. Before you watch the action, whether live or streaming, hear from Phoenix about why he started fighting, his preparation to get into the cage, and his love of the sport. And because this is a film podcast, we couldn't help asking him about his top 3 combat films of all time. Tune in for his recommendations and definitely support his fight (links on the howcouldyoupodcast instagram).

It's Lauren's 40th birthday which means she is indulging in her favorite film of all time Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. It's not birthday themed, and it's definitely not light, but the birthday girl makes the rules and the rule is everyone should watch Psycho.

When Rent took second place by one vote, we had to make this episode happen, so we are warming up our voices and getting ready to belt out an episode that is mostly about the film, and a little about the stage production too. It's a long held argument in this house as to the quality of this adaptation, and we revisit it 20 years later to see if today is 4 loving this film and if tomorrow is for wanting to just listen to the soundtrack again.

You voted and we are delivering, it's time to indulge in Masters of the Universe the summer film totally occupying our time. Travis Knight brings to the screen once again a live action adaptation of epic fantasy proportions, and Ryan gets to return to his five year old self, break out the action figures, and talk about a movie he's been waiting for almost 40 years.

Around here it's Unit. Core. Pod. Country on this episode covering the 1992 Rob Reiner classic A Few Good Men. But we couldn't handle this one alone, so we brought in special counsel Jon Andrews to serve as third mic where we investigate a Code Cruise.

Frank the Bunny is turning 25 years old this year...or is he? Who is to say how interdimensional foretellers of doom age, but we know that Donnie Darko is now 25 years young and we are excited to revisit this movie that bewildered cinephiles and still does to this day.

In our continued celebration of the films of 1986, turning 40 years young this year, we look again to John Hughes and his last team up with Molly Ringwald Pretty in Pink.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, Oscars season!! It might be the best year of Best Picture nominees this century and we have no shortage of passionate on takes on who should win, who will win, and our hopes for the evening.
