191 - Primal Fear

The Dudes are asked to ponder the nature of truth, and our complicity in a broken justice system with 1996's Primal Fear.  This 90s legal drama does a great job hiding it's secrets, so we wouldn't dare betray any of them here.  Just make sure you start misusing the word 'allegedly' as often as you can.

The Boys In The Band (2020) – Directed by Joe Mantello
The Fog (1980) – Directed by John Carpenter

190 - The Invisible Man (1933)

The Dudes unleash a terrible power on the world with 1933's The Invisible Man.  While James Whale's adaptation of the H.G. Wells classic is a masterclass of practical special effects, it also ponders evil while being hilarious.  Its the work of true artists and craftsmen, and in another 90 years will likely still impress.  
Other movies discussed:
Q: The Winged Serpent (1982) – Directed by Larry Cohen
The Many Saints of Newark (2021) – Directed by Alan Taylor

189 - The Return of the Living Dead

The Dudes attempt to fit in with both old guys and every teen subculture with 1985's zombie classic The Return of the Living Dead.  This near-perfect blend of horror, comedy and social commentary was another entry in the canon of VHS boxes that intrigued you as a child at the video store.  The good news?  Its even better than you hoped it was!
Other movies discussed:
Skinamarink (2022) – Directed by Kyle Edward Ball
The Killing (1956) – Directed by Stanley Kubrick

188 - Raw

The Dudes get a taste of college life, as they chew on 2016's Raw. If you like your higher learning served with sibling fights, plot twists, and fantastic performances, then this is the movie for you. Be sure to floss after watching though.

The Great Dictator (1940) – Directed by Charlie Chaplin
Smile (2022) – Parker Finn

187 - Society

The Dudes' fear of rich people is proven completely justified with 1989's Society.  Like El Guapo, this film is not just famous, it's IN-famous, mainly due to its unforgettable final act that will leave you wishing you'd never investigated the taste of The Shunt.  It's Halloween everybody, let's get repulsive! 
Other movies discussed:
Mad God (2021) – Directed by Phil Tippett
Blade (1998) – Directed by Stephen Norrington

186 - Possession

The Dudes abandon their failed marriage and nurture something new with 1981's Possession. There may be a few bodies (and tentacles) along the way, but that's a small price to pay for happiness. This film is infamous for many reasons, but it's the unforgettable performances that ground it for the audience, shocked as they may be. Buckle up!
Other movies discussed:
Battleship Potemkin (1925) – Directed by Sergei Eisenstein
Tetsuo the Iron Man (1989) – Directed by Shinya Tsukamoto

185 - The Parent Trap (1961)

Mom and Dad are fighting again, so The Dudes employ Twin Magic to put things right with 1961's The Parent Trap.  The amazing Hayley Mills anchors this movie that was formative cinema for Dave, so be prepared for him to wax nostalgic like he's at death's door.  Come for the romance, stay for the hooliganism!  
Other movies discussed:
The Kid (1921) – Directed by Charlie Chaplin
Babylon (1922) – Directed by Damien Chazelle
