So It's Come to This: A Movie Podcast

This week, we're staking out the hacienda with 1991's "Shattered." We unravel Wolfgang Petersen's amnesia thriller and talk about Tom Berenger's squint, Bob Hoskins' stare, the movie's cool car crashes and the silly but satisfying twist. Listen now.

This week, we're playing party games with 2022's Gen Z horror movie "Bodies Bodies Bodies." We get into how Eric has tried to convince Charlie to do an episode of a Rachel Sennott movie for years and talk about how this movie mixes satire with scares for a modern-day whodunit that feels like hanging out with your smartest and funniest friend. Listen now.

This week, we're knocking heads with the Diceman in 1993's straight-to-video classic "Brain Smasher... A Love Story." We talk all about this surprisingly charming brawler flick where Andrew Dice Clay protects Teri Hatcher from Chinese ninjas in Portland, Or-e-gon. Listen now.

This week, we're pulling an all-nighter to talk about Michael Mann's other L.A. movie, 2004's "Collateral." We catch up on the recent Oscars before we get into how much this Oscar-snubbed movie rules and why silver-haired Tom Cruise is the best Tom Cruise. Listen now.

This week, we're marking our calendars and watching 1981's "Saturday the 14th." We talk about the horror parody boon of the '80s, celebrate the Hollywood love story of stars Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss and decide that this movie's cozy charm makes up for a lack of jokes. Listen now.

This week, we're having a 'frightmare' with Tom Noonan and Ti West and watching 2005's "The Roost." We remember Noonan's many iconic performances (including this one) and cover how West's micro-budget horror debut packs real scares and surprises. Listen now.

This week, we celebrate Robert Duvall and his Oscar-winning performance in 1983's "Tender Mercies." We talk about Duvall's understated brilliance as washed-up country singer Mac Sledge and how the movie mixes quiet drama and heartwarming musical performances in a surprising story of redemption. Listen now.

This week, we're having Bloody Marys with 1972's "Blacula." We talk about how this Blaxploitation vampire classic defies expectations, and why William Marshall's commanding performance may be our favorite cinematic bloodsucker ever. Listen now.

This week, we take a slime-covered bite out of The Big Apple with 1989's "Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan." We talk about the movie's large cast of teen victims, drawn-out cruise ship scenes, brief NYC screen time, and why we think it's an underrated entry in the franchise. Listen now.

This week, we're going down the rabbit hole with 2025's "Bugonia." We talk about why we liked this satirical conspiracy thriller from Yorgos Lanthimos, why we love Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons and why this far-out film doesn't feel all that crazy in today's world. Listen now.
