America’s foremost classic movie podcast attempts to inject positivity into their dark, dark lives by watching the feel-good movie Requiem For A Dream. Yikes.
What do Richard Linklater’s coming of age masterpiece and Angel Grove from the Power Rangers have in common. Nothing. They have nothing in common. That doesn’t stop nostalgia experts* Mike McKellis and Rich Arlok from making stupid connections. I mean that’s what I love about Power Rangers, I keep getting older and they stay the same age.
*nope
The Late to The Table crew pretends they’re a real podcast by juxtaposing Grease and George Lucas’ teen classic American Graffiti. Just kidding they still talk about Hitler and sex stuff.
The guys watch the musical equivalent of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. What I’m trying to say is that there are old people in it. Does Grease hold up? Is Grease still the word? Who knows?! Mike and Rich spend most of the time reminiscing about high school and questioning scientology/societal standards of the 50s and 70s. Fun right?
2017 babies! It can’t be worse than the last year, right? The guys break in the new year with the 1988 cult classic Willow. Does it hold up from a modern perspective or is it the exact moment in history where George Lucas lost his goddamn mind? Val Kilmer’s pretty great though. Screw it, this show is now the Kilmercast, all Kilmer, all the time. Next week we’re doing Tombstone! I mean we could…I’ve never seen Tombstone.
