  • Black Book (Dutch: Zwartboek)

    Black Book (Dutch: Zwartboek)
    Apr 25 2021
    Don't trust anybody, particularly not Nat and Ben, because this week the boys are gathering intel on Paul Verhoeven's pulpy, steamy WWII spy thriller, Black Book. Like a proto-Inglorious Basterds, Black Book exploded the 2007 film scene with its macabre humor and gruesome violence. Add to that the international debut of a stunning Dutch ingenue in Game of Throne's Red Woman Carice van Houten and you've got a recipe for an unheralded masterpiece. It's a roller coaster of compromise and double crosses... and that's just the podcast.

    Apr 12 2021
    Nat and Ben take on the worst 2007 has to offer in this week's episode of BttM. It's an excruciating journey into the heart of cinematic darkness and at the end is Dan Fogler screaming about sex. Can the boys and special guest Jackie Saltzman survive? You'll have to listen to find out.

  • The Bourne Ultimatum

    The Bourne Ultimatum
    Mar 28 2021
    This episode is priority level chartreuse. Nat and Ben are hot on the trail of super spy sensation The Bourne Ultimatum. Is it a politically conscious exposé of the sins of the surveillance era or dumb action movie where cars go fast and guns go boom? Or, in the year 2007, was there really a difference?

  • Grindhouse

    Grindhouse
    Mar 14 2021
    Nat and Ben unpack the infamous failure of Grindhouse, the throwback/parody/update/loving recreation of exploitation double-features from Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. Listen as our brave hosts completely fail to determine whether Planet Terror or Death Proof is the better film, become baffled by Tarantino's exceeding horniness, and wonder fruitlessly over what Rodriguez was trying to say about the War of Terror. Also there's lots of sex and violence. Cue the 60s rock!
