Hey everyone! Mark D here and we’re watching some Anime! Cowboy Bebop is a universally beloved series and we’re going to go ahead and check out the movie which takes place near the end of the series–so we get all of our favorite characters. There’s going to be a lot of links in these show … Continue reading Cowboy Bebop: Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door

Cowboy Bebop: Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door

Join Mark D as he clambers down the cliff’s edge and commences The Descent. If that’s not a whole mood I don’t know what is and maybe you’re sexists but this is definitely an undercover girl-power chick-flick that absolutely slaps. Check it out streaming on Amazon (US, probably) and don’t hit the spoilers because it … Continue reading The Descent

The Descent

We’re right in the thick of spooky Halloween day (because I was literally just too busy yesterday to finish editing this even though it had already been recorded days ago and I had planned for a Halloween release–I’m a complete fuckup) with the 2010 Joe Johnston remake “The Wolfman”. It’s definitely a movie and there … Continue reading The Wolfman (2010)

The Wolfman (2010)

Rip and tear with the Doom-inspired remake of the Doom-inspiring original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That stuff about Doom? I made it up. Seems legit, though, right? There’s definitely some corrections and things I want to make so I’ll make there here. Also, some weird stuff going on so there may be a couple of … Continue reading The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003): Colon: Scary Movie For October

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003): Colon: Scary Movie For October

It’s a spoOoOOooooOKy Zach Braff-written-and-directed post-coming-of-age pre-having-a-real-life intestitial-liminal-human-space examination. Not going to lie–I didn’t prepare at all for this. It was extemporaneous. Spontaneous. Uranus. Check out the podcast though. It was supposed to be a horror movie but, clearly, that didn’t happen. That won’t stop me from assuming you just have my super badass podcast … Continue reading Garden State

Garden State

Hey, everyone! In this episode I rank things! That’s what people like, right? Rankings? Well, I do that here. This is also the Season 2 finale. I didn’t really think about that until now but that’s what it is. So there you have it. Season 3 coming at some point. Thanks for listening @coolmarkd on … Continue reading The Mel Brooks Collection: A Retrospective

The Mel Brooks Collection: A Retrospective

Humor is ALIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEE in 1974’s Young Frankenstein written by Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks; and directed by Mel Brooks. A bold and controversial choice that maybe cemented both artists in the Hollywood hall of fame (metaphorical–I don’t know if there is actually a Hollywood HOF but there is one in my heart). This is the … Continue reading Young Frankenstein

Young Frankenstein

This is a lesser-discussed Mel Brooks movie that centers around the McGuffin of a set of dining room chairs in the early Soviet Union. It’s definitely… different. @coolmarkd on Twitter. @markd20 on Letterboxd

The Twelve Chairs

Let’s just send up Star Wars and science fiction adventures in general in Mel Brooks’ 1987 film Spaceballs! That’s really it. That’s the whole show notes. @coolmarkd on Twitter. @markd20 on Letterboxd.

Spaceballs

Want to send up anthology movies but unsure how? Maybe History of the World Part 1 can help. Mel Brook’s 1981 historical… something is a laugh riot but audiences and critics seem to be split on it. I messed up a little bit on this one too in that I “read the comments”. The comments … Continue reading History of the World: Part 1

History of the World: Part 1

Let’s forget about robbing from the rich and stealing from the poor and instead go on a bit of a romp in Sherwood Forrest with Mel Brooks in his 1993 Robin Hood: Men In Tights. I don’t remember if I needed to add any links in here… I reserve the right to update this at … Continue reading Robin Hood: Men In Tights

Robin Hood: Men In Tights

“Reach for the skyyyyyyyy” that’s not from this movie. This 1974 Mel Brooks movie is Blazing Saddles and there’s a bunch of other things from this movie but that’s not one of them. There’s a lot going on in the production and the legacy of this movie. A lot. A plethora of posts. A cornucopia … Continue reading Blazing Saddles

Blazing Saddles

Let’s check out Mel Brook’s take on a spoof of a riff on a Hitchcock paranoia thriller. It was definitely A Choice. @coolmarkd on Twitter. @markd20 on Letterboxd.

High Anxiety

I actually have zero idea of what this movie is even about. There are movies in the Mel Brooks collection that I’ve seen many times and there are others that I’ve seen not at all. This is one of the latter. Let’s get into it. This one actually wasn’t written by Mel Brooks and is, … Continue reading To Be Or Not To Be

To Be Or Not To Be

It’s not a description, it’s the title of Mel Brook’s 1976 film which is, more or less, a silent movie. Perhaps is was a case of creative stagnation. Or perhaps it was a case of creative excellence manifested in will imposing it’s untamed and dark desires upon a major motion picture production. Stay a while … Continue reading Silent Movie

Silent Movie

Join Mark Diaz, amateur movie fan, on a journey through his not insignificant movie collection. Mark thought that he could just have a lot of movies until *record scratch* one day it all changed. BWAAAAAAHHHHH No it's not about trailers. I legitimately didn't know what to put here. Let's talk about movies.
