Film Junk Podcast

Damn! We're in a tight spot! This week we are seeking treasure with Ulysses Everett McGill and his two companions, Pete and Delmar, in the 2000 Coen Brothers musical comedy O Brother, Where Art Thou? Based loosely upon The Odyssey, this movie was a big hit for The Coens at the time and the soundtrack was massive. But did anyone actually listen to it or was it all just awards hype? Does the early digital colour correction hold up or is it now a bit of an eyesore? Where does this movie rank in the Coen Brothers' filmography? Is it George Clooney's best comedic performance of all time? See you in the funny pages, boys... it's a bushwhack on this week's episode of Film Junk.

"Hercules! Hercules! Hercules!" - Mama Klump. Join us as we crack open Pandora's Jug and chug about an hour-and-change worth of podcast protein puree; thick and white and full of all the nutrients needed to build out those pectoral muscles to the point of total nipple inversion. Lou (Luigi) Ferrigno's clearly been jug chugging that protein pablum in preparation for Luigi Cozzi's celestial peplum. His nipples are completely inverted. NOTE: There are no crystals in this motion picture.

Professional assassination is the highest form of public service. Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins was sadly both the beginning and the end of a movie franchise that wanted to be the "red, white and blue collar" version of James Bond. But is it better than its reputation lets on or are we desperately trying to force feed a dud? Why does reconstructive facial surgery look like someone just shaved off their moustache? Is the stunt work in this movie objectively spectacular? How did a white actor get a Golden Globe nomination for playing a Korean man? Does your nightingale sing? Learn the secrets of Sinanju on the latest episode of Film Junk.

Hello Junkers, we're trying something new here to coincide with the announcement of our upcoming episodes for July. Moving forward, we will be "juicing" these announcements by releasing a short reveal episode every month where we announce our picks and attempt to justify them to each other. The plan is to release these short episodes publicly in both audio and video format so that everyone can complain about our choices together! The official calendar and order of the episodes will be released shortly afterward. So what's coming in July? Any guesses?? You'll have to watch or listen to find out!
