A movie podcast by two guys who used to date but don't anymore. We cover a broad range of movies focusing on style, substance, and originality. Or a complete lack thereof! Come join the "fun"!
Any way you slice it, 200 episodes is a milestone. And while other, more cowardly podcasts might insist on regulating and planning every second of such an achievement, we left it all to chance and invited Lady Luck to choose our movies for us! Last week’s AFI Roulette spins yielded two paragons of pure, unadulterated entertainment. One is a dumb, colorful musical bursting with bananas fashion, stunning set pieces, and one magnificent ass. The other is a frenetic and cacophonous gangster flick that features outstanding performances, the most magnificent oner, and an in-movie commercial to rival Cheddar Goblin. Both are exemplars of their genre, and the form of cinema itself. Join us as we swoon over Singin’ in the Rain (1952) and Goodfellas (1990), this week on Ex Rated Movies!

Episode 199 Trouble Every Day
As we approach episode 200, Matt has decided to bring us back to where it all started. Claire Denis’ vampire-adjacent Trouble Every Day (2001), is a slow and sensual mood piece that’s sparse on dialogue but brimming with ambiguity. While the movie does contain two challengingly violent scenes, the lush camerawork from Agnès Goddard, sumptuous music from Tindersticks, and sad puppy dog eyes from Vincent Gallo help to temper their biting intensity. This is one auteur treatment of vampires that we heartily endorse. Join us as we rack our brains about about actual brains, review the Tool Time segments from Home Improvement, and get mayonnaise all over the mirror, this week on Ex Rated Movies!

Episode 198 Kicking and Screaming
Pull up your pleated corduroys and throw on Bossanova because we’re taking a nostalgia trip back to the 1990’s. While Kicking and Screaming (1995), Noah Baumbach’s debut feature, definitely captures the look and feel of the mid 90’s, it also epitomizes the directionless ennui some liberal arts graduates *ahem* feel upon entering the “real world.” And while he certainly went on to make better films, this one’s charming analysis of stunted and ornery young adults refusing to grow up, goes down very, very easy. Join us for some thoughtful discussions on the Cookie Man’s politics, an abridged dissection of the exact nature of a Muppet, and a rootin’, tootin’ audition for Howdy Tasty, this week on Ex Rated Movies!
