GUEST ALERT: Oz and Curtis are putting on their best yachting caps, avoiding the "filthy fishermen," and trying not to get eaten by a giant shark-man! Joining us on the deck of The Filthy Whore is our friend Melissa L to help us make sense of the bizarre and beautiful Cult Classic: Cabin Boy!Nathaniel Mayweather (Chris Elliott) is a "Fancy Lad" and recent finishing school graduate who accidentally boards a decrepit fishing boat instead of a luxury cruise ship. As he is thrust into a world of salty sailors, mythological creatures, and a very confused David Letterman selling stuffed monkeys, Nathaniel must transform from a pampered brat into a true man of the sea.We dive into the film’s weirdly charming depths with Melissa: the incredible Tim Burton-produced production design, Chris Elliott’s fearless (and frequently abrasive) performance, the film’s transition from a massive box-office flop to a beloved weirdo staple, and why "these pipes are clean!" is still a top-tier movie quote. Is Cabin Boy a misunderstood masterpiece of Surreal Humor and a definitive 90s Comedy, or just a movie that proves you should never, ever buy a stuffed monkey from a stranger?

GUEST ALERT: Oz and Curtis are checking the silos, watching the radar, and hoping the burger they just ordered isn't their last meal! Joining us to navigate this high-stakes nuclear standoff is acclaimed film critic and educator Don Shanahan to break down the intense, underrated Nuclear Thriller: Deterrence!

President Walter Emerson (Kevin Pollak), the first Jewish President and an appointee facing a tough re-election, finds his motorcade stranded in a massive blizzard at a remote Colorado diner. While the world outside freezes, a massive geopolitical crisis erupts: Iraq has invaded Kuwait, and the response triggers a terrifying nuclear standoff. Stuck in a booth with his advisors and a handful of locals, Emerson must decide if he’s willing to push the button to save the world—or destroy it.

We break down the film’s white-knuckle tension with Don’s expert eye for the "lessons" within the frame: Kevin Pollak’s incredible, authoritative performance, the film’s "Stage Play" feel that keeps the focus entirely on the ethics of war, and the chillingly logical arguments for and against the use of Nuclear Deterrence. Is Deterrence a forgotten masterpiece of 90s Indie Cinema and a terrifying look at global power, or just a movie that proves the most dangerous place to be during World War III is a diner with bad coffee? Tune in for our full Deterrence 1999 movie review!

Oz and Curtis are strapping on the girdles, grabbin' their saxophones, and hopping the train to Florida to break down the undisputed heavyweight champion of Classic Comedy: Some Like It Hot!

After witnessing the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, two struggling jazz musicians—Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon)—need to get out of Chicago fast. Their only ticket out? Disguising themselves as "Josephine" and "Daphne" to join an all-female band heading south. Things get complicated when they both fall for the band's ukulele-playing singer, Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe), while Jerry (as Daphne) finds himself pursued by an eccentric millionaire who won't take "I'm a man" for an answer.

We break down the film’s bulletproof brilliance: Billy Wilder’s razor-sharp direction, the incredible physical comedy of Jack Lemmon, the surprisingly bold (for 1959) playfulness with Gender-Bending tropes, and the sheer incandescent glow of Marilyn Monroe. Is Some Like It Hot the funniest movie ever put to film and a definitive AFI Top 100 essential, or just a movie that proves that life is always better when you're playing the bull fiddle? Tune in for our full Some Like It Hot 1959 movie review!
