Film chosen and introduced by Matt Exec-produced by a "streaky" Kevin Bacon, directed by John McNaughton (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Mad Dog and Glory), and described as "Scream meets Body Heat” by its breakout star, Denise Richards, Wild Things is a film I somewhat sheepishly, but repeatedly return to. It helped define a... Continue Reading →
Film chosen and introduced by Matt I was a terrible sleeper as a kid. I’d often only drop off if I was watching TV downstairs, or had my dad read to me. A clunky old television soon changed that. When my grandparents finally bought a new living room telly, their old box (and I mean... Continue Reading →
Film chosen by Joe, introduced by Matt The Coen Brothers’ pot-heady, mistaken identity picture and ode to the unemployed, adopts and adapts the specificity of film noir's dialogue to create a colourful, highly quotable, stoner-noir. It's as if our fall guy, The Dude - a clueless dropout, has been dragged into the swirling dramatic plot... Continue Reading →

In the ebb and flow of pop culture, especially in cinema, it's possible this film feels, to a lot of viewers, like a relic of a distant and unknowable past.

And while this round of Throwbacks was due to be my choice of The Misfits, there was a feeling in the air that perhaps an elegiac, monochrome monument to the decaying embers... Continue Reading →
Film chosen by Gali, introduced by Devlin Among the many, many pleasures of Point Break, one major standout has to be that it contains one of the defining performances of Full Busey. Gary Busey is a very strange man. From his early breakthrough in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot and his garlanded turn as bespectacled nerd rock... Continue Reading →
Film chosen and introduced by Patrick I hear you’re looking for Candyman… bitch. So was I, back in 1997, drawn into the urban legend along with my other impressionable classmates… we were 11 years old. Little Jake (DeJaun Guy) in the film was smarter than us, he knew to steer clear of the Candyman as... Continue Reading →
