I Like to Watch Ep. 16— L.A. Confidental (1997)
The boys tackle the 1997 neo-noir L.A. Confidential with a ridiculously deep cast and take a few tangents including a walk-thru Donnie’s disgust and Don’s love of Dick Wolf.
I Like to Watch Ep. 15—Road House (1989)
In a complete gushfest over one of the iconic cheeseburgers of the 1980’s, D & D love 1989’s Road House. Seriously, these guys LOVE this movie!
I Like to Watch Ep. 14—The Three Amigos (1986)
Fresh off of two bleak but brilliant films in a row, D&D tackle a fan favorite, The Three Amigos.
I Like to Watch Ep. 13—Martyrs (2009)
Donnie picks Pascal Laugier’s 2009 French horror film Martyrs as if last episode’s discussion of Requiem for a Dream wasn’t dismal and bleak enough.
I Like to Watch Ep. 12—Requiem for a Dream (2000)
D&D tackle one of the most traumatic films ever made—Darren Aronofsky’s Requiem for a Dream.
I Like to Watch Ep. 11—Psycho (1960)
In deference to Donnie’s wonderful dad, the hosts take a look at Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 masterpiece Psycho. With a decided refusal to discuss the remake and a mutual love of the Bernard Hermann score, this is a gush-fest of one of the most iconic films made in the twentieth century.
I Like to Watch Ep. 10—Jackie Brown (1997)
The two Dons dive into blaxploitation, Tarantino, and the most adult of QT’s films, 1997’s Jackie Brown starring Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert DeNiro, Bridget Fonda, and Michael Keaton. Holy balls, what a cast!
I Like to Watch Ep. 9—Stripes (1981)
The boys take on Ivan Reitman’s 1981 Army spoof Stripes. Remarkably they agree on almost everything as well as take a detour into Don’s gig as a Videostore Manager and Donnie’s love of Elmer Bernstein.
I Like to Watch Ep. 8—Harold and Maude (1971)
Once again, Don picks a beloved movie from days gone by, 1971’s Harold and Maude, which Donnie finds insufferable. Breaking down the very odd cult classic gets the boys into the weeds of what director Hal Ashby was actually getting at with this obscure film.
I Like to Watch Ep. 7—Some Like It Hot (1959)
Donnie picks the 1959 Billy Wilder classic comedy Some Like It Hot with the caveat that anyone not completely enamored by it cannot be his friend. Luckily, Don likes it just fine.
I Like to Watch Ep. 6—Alien (1979)
This week, Hall picks Ridley Scott’s Alien and it turns into a fanboy excuse as both hosts dig this science fiction horror hybrid and especially the creation of a female hero who eschews all the stereotypes of women in peril so popular in Hollywood up to this film.
I Like to Watch Ep. 5—Die Hard (1988)
This week we cover Donnie’s pick, 1988’s Die Hard, a movie both hosts are entirely enthusiastic about.
I Like to Watch Ep. 4—Pennies from Heaven (1981)
Donx2 examine another contentious choice—Hall chooses 1981’s Pennies from Heaven starring Steve Martin and Bernedette Peters. Hall loves this film; Smith not so much.
I Like to Watch Ep. 3—Clue (1985)
Hosts Don Smith and Don Hall explore Smith's love for the 1985 film inspired by the Parker Bros. board game.
I Like to Watch Ep. 2—Fight Club (1999)
The Dons take a look into Hall’s pick this week: Fight Club. What is the difference between the Chuck Palahniuk’s novel and David Fincher’s film adaptation? Why do white incel dudes seem to miss that this is a satire about them? Was 1999 the most amazing year for mind-bending film?
I Like to Watch Ep. 1—HEAT (1995)
In the this inaugural episode, Don Smith and Don Hall discuss Smith's pick "Heat" from 1995 followed by four films they believe were inspired by the Michael Mann classic.
