Growing up in poverty Izzy found his way out of the depression, changed his name to Kirk, and set out to make something of himself. Douglas was hungry to make it out on his own and instead of just becoming another star he became a titan of the industry. Kirk created some of the most memorable characters in front of the camera and fought some of the biggest battles behind it.  Aaron and Brad get their stories straight for ACE IN THE HOLE, start a revolution with SPARTACUS, join the gang in POSSE, and more!

RIP 28: Remembering Kirk Douglas

Carrie Frances Fisher (1956 - 2016) was the daughter of Hollywood royalty. After surviving one of Hollywood’s biggest scandals Carrie sought to make a name for herself and step out of the larger than life shadow of her celebrity mother. Their close but strained relationship and a personal battle with inner demons led her to a number of ups and downs throughout her career. But in 1977 she transformed into one of the most iconic cinematic characters ever put to screen. On paper, Princess Leia was a mere damsel in distress but Carrie provided a strong and powerful presence to the character that would quickly transform her into a feminist icon for over 40 years. Her quick tongue and tumultuous relationships led her to be an inspirational and outspoken survivor of mental illness and drug abuse. Aaron and Brad strap on a pair of hair buns as they travel to a galaxy far, far away in STAR WARS, take the mother/daughter relationship to the limits in POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE, go behind the scenes of the true family drama in BRIGHT LIGHTS, and more!

RIP 26: Remembering Carrie Fisher

Robert Wallace Forster Jr (1941 - 2019) was an actor headed for big things. After kicking off his career on Broadway, Robert found his first gig on screen alongside Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, and getting career advice from John Huston. He would close out the 60s with Haskell Wexler’s critically acclaimed MEDIUM COOL. However, the next 25 years of his career would stall out with a string of forgetful projects with only a few gems along the way. It wasn’t until a fateful meeting with Quentin Tarantino in the mid 90s that career would find new life. Aaron and Brad take a class on Journalism 101 in MEDIUM COOL, search for Ramon the elusive sewer killer in ALLIGATOR, take a listen to The Delfonics in JACKIE BROWN, and more!

RIP 25: Remembering Robert Forster

Sidney Eddie Mosesian (1939 - 2019) was an often underutilized character actor with the talent, charm, and sarcasm of a leading man. His towering stature, big, bold features, and infectious laugh made him a perfect fit for Jack Hill's exploitation films of the 70s. Sid would solidify a prosperous and steady career on screen but this character actor for hire would eventually step away from acting feeling typecast as just another dimwitted heavy. However, directors like Quentin Tarantino and Rob Zombie had other plans. At the age of 60, Sid would find a whole new act to his storied career. Aaron and Brad touch up their clown makeup as they meet the Merrye clan of SPIDER BABY, break out of the slammer in THE BIG BIRD CAGE, join the Firefly family in THE DEVIL'S REJECTS, and more!

RIP 24: Remembering Sid Haig

RIP 23: Remembering Peter Fonda

Rutger Oelsen Hauer (1944 - 2019) was the iconic Dutch actor who made a name for himself in Europe before heading to Hollywood alongside director and frequent collaborator Paul Verhoeven (ROBOCOP).

Aaron and Brad dive into all things Hauer by dusting off their old Voight-Kampff machines for BLADE RUNNER, sharpen their katanas for BLIND FURY, load up their 12-gauges for HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN, and more!

RIP 22: Remembering Rutger Hauer

Arlette Varda (1928 - 2019) better known as Agnès was a French filmmaker making movies from her own perspective in a male dominated industry.

Aaron and Brad grab a baguette, strap on their chapeaus, and sip on their La Croix as they examine their own mortality in CLEO FROM 5 TO 7, learn the meaning of happiness in LE BONHEUR, punch Godard in FACES PLACES, and more!

John Daniel Singleton’s (1968 - 2019) first film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director earning him the honor as not only the youngest filmmaker but the first African-American to ever receive the nomination.

John was a kind man, a loving father, and a devoted filmmaker that provided a voice and message for those that didn’t have one. Aaron and Brad are joined by good friend and DMV MC PHZ-Sicks as they survive the mean streets of BOYZ N THE HOOD, pay off their student loans in HIGHER LEARNING, wear their finest Egyptian cotton for SHAFT, and more!

RIP 20: Remembering John Singleton

Lawrence George Cohen (1936 - 2019) was a pure, independent, B-movie auteur. A true DIY filmmaker always taking chances wherever he can and stealing whatever shots he needs.

Aaron and Brad get pool cleaning tips from BONE, discuss the paternal practices of IT’S ALIVE, can’t get enough of THE STUFF, and more!

RIP 19: Remembering Larry Cohen

Richard Miller (1928 - 2019) was that guy. He was the guy you didn’t know you loved. A character actor to ever rival the title. If you have seen a movie in the last 50 years then you have seen a Dick Miller movie. Dick Miller was a Roger Corman staple at AIP and would later become the lucky rabbit foot of New World Pictures and Corman's acolytes. Aaron and Brad find their inner beatnik with A BUCKET OF BLOOD, disobey the three rules with GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH, turn into a couple of ho-dunk, po-dunks in DEMON KNIGHT, and more!

RIP 18: Remembering Dick Miller

Carole Penny Marshall (1943 - 2018) was a lead actress on one of the most popular shows in television history and would eventually find herself behind the camera. At first Penny did not feel comfortable behind the camera but she would find her voice as she would become the second female to earn a Best Picture nomination and the first female director to have a movie gross over $100 million.   At only 7 feature films Penny would find herself as a significant figure in the movie industry. Aaron and Brad  watch as she is pushed into JUMPIN JACK FLASH, finds her voice on BIG, combines all of her passions for A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, and more!

RIP 17: Remembering Penny Marshall

Stanley Martin Lieber (1922 - 2018) was the type of talent and personality that lived up to the title of the man, the myth, and the legend. A creative mind that created some of the most influential heroes in the literary world and beyond. His work would inevitably alter the way that we watch, anticipate, and create our modern cinematic blockbusters.  The comic book movie has come a long way so Aaron and Brad take a look at the pre-comic movie pining of MALLRATS, the first major blockbuster for Marvel's Mighty X-MEN, the latest and most innovative leap alongside SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE, and more!

RIP 16: Remembering Stan Lee
