Harry & Tonto

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.

This episode, Duncan takes us back to a film that harnessed serious star power... before they were stars. Jeff Bridges, Sally Field, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Robert England make the screen sweat in this balmy, Southern story based on Charles Gaines' 1972 novel. It's STAY HUNGRY (1976) directed by '70s verite hero, Bob Rafelson. While Duncan believes the film's bona fides earn it the top trophy, Lex doesn't sway easy. In the end, it's a match of muscle, but we leave it to you to decide who's right. Does this one pump so hard it blows? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2023 was the year of the strike, so what better way to bid it adieu than with one of the definitive labor flicks: Paul Schrader's Blue Collar. This time the pick belongs to the first-ever DIBYMTT guest, Allan McLeod, and before the guys even get the chance to talk Schrader, Duncan comes clean with a big confession. It paves the way for deep discussion about betrayal, compromise, on-set rivalries, and silly disguises. Zip up your overalls, strap on your safety glasses, and prepare for controversial takes on Harvey Keitel's weirdness, Richard Pryor's temper, and the pronunciation of "Kotto". If you haven't seen this classic, do yourself a favor and queue up a dramedy-heist unlike any other. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What's come over Duncan and Lex? Halloween, of course. They've slipped into madness, cramming two freaky movies into one creepy episode. That means twice the brains could be blown. A real splatterfest, if all goes according to plan. But what flicks did they pick? You'll have to click play to unleash the treats. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Are you ready to "fall in hate" with Lex's pick, Ricochet? Find out what that means and why this episode is chock full of surprises for your hosts. Duncan and Lex discuss what two of their favorite actors (Denzel Washington and John Lithgow at the top of their game) must have been thinking when they decided to face off in this ham-fisted, cop-vs-psychopath thriller. And they reveal how this Joel Silver bullet-fest fits into the larger Val Verde-verse. What's that? You've never heard of the Val Verde-verse (that includes Die Hard, Predator, and more)? Well, let your action education truly begin... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Season 2 has arrived at DIBYMTT, and with it, the wild world of David Lynch. Duncan and Lex delve deep into a throwback universe of sexy criminals, ghoulish weirdos, and total sad-sacks.Buckle up for, DL's Twin Peaks most immediate follow-up, the kick-off of Nicholas Cage's very public Elvis obsession, and one more installment of the '90s collective obsession with rehashing Bonnie & Clyde. It's a high-speed ride, fueled by so many name-drops the wheels might just fly off this pod. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
