Dudes on Movies

264 - Blue Velvet

The Dudes discover the dark side of suburbia with 1986's Blue Velvet. If you've never experienced David Lynch, this is the place to start. It's got all the hallmarks: thrilling mystery, unsettling characters, and psycho-sexual encounters with people you probably shouldn't be involved with. Throw in an off-the-rails Dennis Hopper, and you've got a masterpiece. Just look out for severed ears.

262 - White Men Can't Jump

The Dudes talk a lot of trash with 1992's White Men Can't Jump. The chemistry between Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, both on screen and on the court, is magnetic. But can they use their talents to hustle peace into their lives? Either way, it's going to be fun. And remember, sometimes when you win, you actually lose, but you can also actually tie or something.

261 - Topsy-Turvy

The Dudes perform without their corsets with 1999's Topsy-Turvy.  This story of Gilbert & Sullivan's Mikado collaboration, along with the inner-workings of the Savoy Theatre is one of Mike Leigh's greatest achievements.  A successful opera isn't easy to pull together, and neither is a film that dramatizes such a production.  It's also Leigh's funniest film, and once you realize how much work the cast put into this one, you'll probably pass out.  But just have a cigarette, and you'll be grand.
 
Other movies discussed:
The Brutalist (2024) - Directed by Brady Corbet
September 5 (2024) - Directed by Tim Fehlbaum
 
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
What are your favorite movies about creative partnerships?

260 - The Man Who Wasn't There

The Dudes' blackmail plot goes awry in 2001's "The Man Who Wasn't There". Yeah, maybe it didn't go as planned, but they keep it cool, take another drag, and focus on the hair. Doris took the fall for Big Dave, but that's life. They aren't going to prance around about it. Besides, there's a young musician needing a boost. They can make that happen. Heaven to Betsy they can.
 
Other movies discussed:
Bullit (1968) - Directed by Peter Yates
The Substance (2024) - Directed by Coralie Fargeat
 
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

259 - The Wedding Singer

The Dudes accept meatballs as payment with 1998's The Wedding Singer.  From everything we see, Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are obviously meant for each other, but the movie won't let that happen, and almost takes pleasure in torturing you.  What keeps you interested is the chemistry of the leads, and some genuine laughs.  This is a good movie everybody, but it puts you to work.     
 
Other movies discussed:
Mr. McMahon (2024) - Directed by Chris Smith
Near Dark (1987) - Directed by Kathryn Bigelow
 
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
What are the most infuriating movie romances?

258 - The Collector (1965)

The Dudes learn the best way to get to know somebody is to kidnap them, in 1965's The Collector! In William Wyler's final film, a lonely man kidnaps a woman because he wants her to love him. Of course, that's not how it works. Terror ensues, along with confusion, and Stockholm syndrome. Unfortunately, this movie proves that incels existed long before the internet. But it's ok, because they "have all the proper respects".

Presence (2024) - Directed by Steven Soderbergh
Panic Room (2002) - Directed by David Fincher
