Hard Out: My Favorite Movie - THE KARATE KID (w/ Dalan Musson)
Wednesday Jun 23, 2021
Wednesday Jun 23, 2021
Dalan Musson! A true mensch of a man, he's a talented-as-hell writer, a former amateur wrestler, a staff writer on showrunner/creator Malcolm Spellman's *incredible* Marvel miniseries THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDER (currently streaming on Disney+, in case you live under a rock), rumored to be Malc's co-writer on CAP 4* and a true superhero in his own right as a compulsive rescuer of dogs in peril... it's an honor to have him on the show as he talks all things nostalgic Bronze Age Marvel, old school vs modern pro wrestling, the importance and game of networking in Hollywood, and his love of not only his all-time favorite film THE KARATE KID but the show it spawned decades later, COBRA KAI.
*Disney has not and will not confirm future phase news... but they did have a rep silently listening in on this episode to make sure our amazing guest Dalan Musson didn't spill any Marvel beans! Make of that what you will!

Hard Out: My Favorite Movie - GET CARTER (w/ guest Jon Adler)
Tuesday Jun 01, 2021
Tuesday Jun 01, 2021
Milwaukee Morning Radio stalwart FM 102.1's Jon Adler stops by to shoot the shit on morning drive radio life, stalker listeners and death threats, interviewing rock stars and famous comedians, music, soundtracks, and his love of revenge films like 1971's Mike Hodges' stone cold classic GET CARTER starring Michael Caine (and we of course dip into the far inferior, superfluous Sly Stallone remake).

VFX badass Clint Jones—if you're one of his over *half a million* YouTube subscribers, you might know him as "PWNISHER"—stops by to not only talk his unabashed love of Stephen Chow's mindbogglingly killer mash-up of everything from Chaplin/Keaton to Classic Kung Fu Theater to Astaire/Rogers dance films to classic Loony Tunes tomfoolery KUNG FU HUSTLE but also lays out the newfangled digital crypto-craze NFT landscape for us laymen (he's already had a couple of lucrative art sales with more to come, as he was turned onto the space by none other than Beeple himself).

Hard Out: My Favorite Movie* - CHILDREN OF PARADISE (w/ guest Mark Metcalf)
Saturday May 22, 2021
Saturday May 22, 2021
You may know him as Animal House's Doug Neidermeyer, Seinfeld's Maestro, Buffy the Vampire Slayer's "The Master," authoritarians in iconic Twisted Sister videos, or from one of the hundreds (if not thousands) of other times he's graced not only screens big and small but the stage in countless theater productions—it's our honor to welcome to the show the one and only Mark Metcalf to not only discuss the profound effect Marcel Carné's epic love letter to the stage and Love itself LES ENFANTS DU PARADIS (Children of Paradise) had on him as a young actor, but McCarthyism, Classism in Theater, the function of the actor as artist, acting for stage vs. screen, and our own film CACTUS JACK.

Calling in from Berlin where he's been busy co-directing THE MATRIX 4 with Lana Wachowski, director James McTeigue (V FOR VENDETTA) joins the show to talk not only Francis Ford Coppola's self-financed, sanity-risking *masterpiece* APOCALYPSE NOW, but directing films like the much-loved dystopian surveillance state action screed V FOR VENDETTA and a gang of dope TV episodes for shows such as Sense8 and MESSIAH, working as a 1st AD on everything from the Matrix flicks to Dark City to Star Wars prequels, and more!

Friday May 07, 2021
Digging through our files and realized this gem went unpublished! Recording back in mid-February, it's Danny Devito's tonal misfire DEATH TO SMOOCHY and the heinous found footage cautionary tale MEGAN IS MISSING in yet another Hard Out: Cinephiliacs Double Feature throwdown! Oh, and we discuss body hair and the timely (at the time) cancellation of Gina Carano.
