I mostly liked it, but my enjoyment was based largely on Dreyfuss and DeVito, who I’m a sucker for. I can’t really call it “dated” (it’s a period piece) but I doubt anyone my age would ever call it a fave. I tend to find Barry Levinson’s movies fairly forgettable, and TIN MEN’s no different.
Oh, yay! 🤘 Y’all’s discussion was one of my favorite episodes thus far! Always love your pod!
This was an enriching listen! Followed Cerys on LB!
Hang out horror is Peter Bogdanovich’s TARGETS. I think you’d dig that one, especially if you’re a ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD fan.
I always go back and forth on JAWS being a horror film or a thriller film. But if it *is* horror, it’s also my No. 1. That said, I fucking love THE TINGLER. Your episode of @schlockandawe1.bsky.social helped introduce me to it (and William Castle in general).
You Can Count on Me is excellent!
NATURAL BORN KILLERS (1994, dir. Oliver Stone), TIN MEN (1987, dir. Barry Levinson), THE SPANISH PRISONER (1997, dir. David Mamet), TROUBLE IN PARADISE (1932, dir.. Ernst Lubitsch).
Stone. Levinson. Mamet. Lubitsch. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
hahahaha! Bring it!
It was my first watch in several years, and I’m still mixed on the film overall, although it’s so insane and unique I think it begs to be seen. Wish QT got to make it himself.
Your list is so iconic! I still need to see Phantasm!
It’s been a *really* long time since I’ve seen this (I’m genuinely not the biggest Stone guy) but a close friend suggested I give this another shot. So it’s like watching it for the first time all over again.
Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis portray Mickey and Mallory Knox in Oliver Stone’s controversial cult 1994 film.

2026 so far...
Underrated animated film! No one brings this up anymore in lieu of the 2020s geek-laden animation we’ve gotten this whole decade, but LEGO BATMAN is truly an antecedent of all of it.
New episode time!

I dunno, man. Doesn’t that sound like every del Toro movie? lmao
I’d really like to see Coogler do this, but my true dream is for Coogler to adapt an Easy Rawlins noir. Especially since SINNERS is a baby of DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS.
“Even in 2026, ‘An Unmarried Woman’ feels as fresh, funny and sexy as it did in 1978.”
Facts. Best movie I saw this past year.

Four Favorites with Sinners director Ryan Coogler 🎥
I was blown away by it! So good.
“Incredibly funny and risqué for its time. Quite possibly my new favorite Pre-Code romantic comedy…” #filmsky 📽️ boxd.it/dnkRCX
😂 I do get a sick kick out of your AMAs haha
