Dirty Rotten Cinephiles

Saint Jack (1979)

It's 5 o'clock somewhere. Time to delve into the seedy streets of Old Singapore with Ben frickin Gazzara for the all-time great expat movie Saint Jack. The atmosphere is breezy, the ladies are questionable, the CIA is lurking and the characters colorful. But underneath the carefree exterior lies something supremely human begging to be unearthed. 
Join us as we pick apart this underrated gem directed by Peter Bogdanovich and produced both by Roger Corman and Hugh Hefner. Yes THAT Hugh Hefner. Both of the Cinephiles have experienced the expat life in a significant way and bring hilarious stories and insights straight from the source.
And you'll find out exactly what a Wang House is!

Sideways (2004)

Pour a glass of Pinot as the Cinephiles get philosophical and as irreverent as ever for Alexander Payne's 2004 road trip buddy drama booze fest Sideways. A week in wine country was never funnier than this. We go deep into the dark underbelly of midlife crises and mommy issues. We get existential with mortality, marital issues and Merlot. Our jokes age like fine wine as we explore Alexander Payne's filmography and contribution to cinema. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll go through your mom's undies drawer in search of cash. Get ready to go Sideways!

Ice Station Zebra (1968)

We're taking a nuclear submarine to the Arctic in John Sturges' 1968 hidden gem Ice Station Zebra. Rock Hudson, Patrick McGoohan, Jim Brown and Ernest Borgnine (hilariously playing a Russian) all pile into a submarine for a mysterious mission to Ice Station Zebra at the North Pole.
Follow along as the cinephiles take you through this epic adventure yarn, tell you all about John Sturges' place in cinema, and make you laugh out loud with what they consider to be the salacious subversive subtext.
It's one of our funniest episodes yet. Not for the faint of heart! 

From Russia With Love (1963)

James Bond is back! Sean Connery returns in what is widely regarded to be one of the finest Bond movies ever made. As always the guys keep it hilariously irreverent and dive deep into the world of Ian Fleming and his superspy creation agent 007.
We've read the book, seen the film and been to Russia.

Detour (1945) & Strangers on a Train (1951)

Film Noir Double Feature for Noirvember. We take you through two of the very best examples of shadowy Film Noir. From the raw pulp of "Detour" to the master craftsmanship of Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train". Crackling old dialogue brought to life, sinister dandies explored in depth, painting with light in a Black and White world and the single most SAVAGE Femme Fatale ever put to screen. 

Poltergeist (1982)

THEY'RE HEEEERE! Special Halloween edition delving into the 1982 suburban horror classic. A movie which launched 1000 horror tropes. As always, we go deep under the surface to uncover hidden elements you might not have caught the first time around. The Craig T. Nelson and Anakin Skywalker connection. Zelda Rubinstein cleans house. The Heston-style reveal. The Spielberg MILF. And plenty of irreverent jokes about death and cemeteries. 

First Blood (1982)

Peeling back the many layers of the film which created the modern action genre. Its enduring legacy. Historical and cultural context of Rambo. Layers of subtext expounded upon. David Caruso jokes. And a play by play retelling complete with a killer Stallone voice impression.
