Dudes on Movies

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.

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.

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

257 - The Burbs

The Dudes mow their lawn for the 800th time and then snap with 1989's The Burbs.  This comedic study of life in a very sheltered environment exposes ugly secrets about how Americans view anything they're not used to.  It also features an illogical ending that sends Dave on a filibuster.  And just remember everybody: Satan is good, Satan is our pal.
 
Other movies discussed:
Fallen Leaves (2023) - Directed by Aki Kaurismaki
Liquid Sky (1982) - Directed by Slava Tsukerman
 
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

256 - One Hour Photo

The dudes develop photos, and unhealthy obsessions, with 2002's One Hour Photo! This Robin Williams vehicle hinges on his playing against type. And it works. He steals customers' private photos, threatens naked people with hunting knives, and inappropriately gifts anime toys to little kids. It's everything Mrs. Doubtfire should have been!
 
Other movies discussed:
Forbidden Zone (1980) - Directed by Richard Elfman
Maria (2024) - Directed by Pablo Larraín
 
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
 What are the best movies about alienation and loneliness?

255 - In Bruges

Dudes On Demand 2025 concludes as The Dudes brawl with Canadian tourists and look at Messianic blood with 2008's In Bruges.  Like Goofus and Gallant, Ray's and Ken's life choices often contrast in a way that makes outsiders feel one man is better than the other.  And this is correct.  But every life has value, and though this movie contains a lot of death, it also celebrates life like few other films about career criminals would even attempt.
 
Other movies discussed:
Speak No Evil (2024) - Directed by James Watkins
Nosferatu (2024) - Directed by Robert Eggers
 
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
What are the funniest movies about crime?

Bonus - 2024 Dudes Year in Review

It's the annual lookback show where Scott and Dave give you their thoughts on the state of the show! We discuss our accomplishments, failures (i.e.. Scott's screw ups!), and what we have coming in 2025. It's a look behind the curtains that would make Dorothy jealous. And of course we wouldn't be able to discuss these things without the amazing support from our listeners!  Thank you so much everybody!

254 - Spirited Away

The Dudes remember their names with 2001's Spirited Away! This masterpiece from Studio Ghibli is often considered the best animated film ever made. From the imaginative and relatable characters, the universal storytelling, and incredibly intricate visuals, this film has it all. It's not perfect, but it's damn near close. Watch it or I'll cry!

Microwave Massacre (1979) - Directed by Wayne Berwick
Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (2023) - Directed by Ariane Louis-Seize
