DuoVision #3 - Pacific Heights (1990) + Desperate Measures (1998)

THE DEVIL IS A LIAR! AND THE FATHER OF LIES! Jacob and Marten worship at the altar of Ken Russell's blasphemous cult cinema masterpiece and celebrate the work one of the movies' greatest madmen: Oliver fucking Reed.

KI-KI-KI! HA-HA-HA!This Spooky Season we got hit with a metric fuckton of horror TV in both Mike Flanagan's CARRIE adaptation on Amazon, and the new FRIDAY THE 13TH prequel series, CRYSTAL LAKE, from A24 and Peacock. Do the boys think these new serialized entries stack up to their beloved works from the past? Grab your hockey masks and find out now.

NEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRDS! Our DuoVision series on college comedies continues with a Marten Carlson Fave - 1984's REVENGE OF THE NERDS - along with Marten Carlson Discovery - the Crown International sex comedy curiosity JOCKS (1987). Are either of these movies still funny? Or are they simply rightfully forgotten byproducts of a bygone era? Get your ear goggles on, we're going on a panty raid!

We'd be great teachers...of what we have no idea. Two old guys go back to college to kick off a DuoVision mini-series with a couple of movies...about old guys going back to college. We paired the classic Rodney Dangerfield vehicle BACK TO SCHOOL (a professed Jacob Knight Classic) with the movie that basically gave us Will Ferrell, OLD SCHOOL (a certified Jacob Knight Hate Fest). So come out to the quad 'cause WE'RE GOING STREAKING!

Ciao boys! Marten's Eurocinema education continues, as fellas dive into the Italian underworld once again, exploring the trashy crime team ups between Umberto Lenzi and Tomas Milian. Scotch, machine guns and multiple car chases await!

Keep your eyes to the skies. The boys dive into the sci-fi driven portion of a young, up-and-coming filmmaker by the name of Steven Spielberg. Ever heard of him? In celebration of his late style masterwork, DISCLOSURE DAY, it's a dissection of all things alien, dinosaur, and robot. Dig in.

Someone (or something) has gotta keep us safe at night. Wrapping up this first round of DuoVision double features is a pair of aughts Jodie Foster thrillers from major auteurs: David Fincher's PANIC ROOM (2002) and THE BRAVE ONE (2007). Who knew the little girl from Scorsese's TAXI DRIVER would grow up to get her own vigilante blood bath? Not us.

We're back boys! Even when he's not donning cape + cowl as Batman, Michael Keaton is one of the weirdest and most interesting movie stars to emerge from the '80s, For their third installment of DuoVision, the fellas find themselves taking in the eccentric Pittsburgh actor's '90s thrillers: PACIFIC HEIGHTS and DESPERATE MEASURES.

Hellooooo baby! DuoVision returns with two Richard Gere thrillers (well, one's definitely a thriller and the other is...something else entirely. It's BREATHLESS and INTERNAL AFFAIRS, showing us the flipsides of one of Hollywood's most beautiful leading men. Jump in the car, we're getting all sweaty and nekkid with this one!

Welcome to DuoVision - a new, regular feature here at Secret Handshake where the boys pick a themed double feature and vibe out for an hour or so.

And will his other spouse be seduced by slimy, scary boy in blue, Ray Liotta? Find out now!
