Dudes on Movies
Join Scott and Dave each week as they discuss a single movie with humor and insight.
Episodes
The Dudes go undercover as outlaw bikers in 1991's Stone Cold! This action vehicle was meant to turn Brian Bosworth into the next Arnold Schwarzenegger. It didn't work, but we got the most awesome, badass spectacle of the time. Lance Henriksen is menacing, and William Forsyth is psychotic. But "The Boz" can handle it. Can you?
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

The Dudes deal with family turmoil with no regard for anyone's feelings with 2013's August: Osage County. Tracy Letts adapted his acclaimed play for the screen, and in doing so, he and John Wells gathered an incredible cast to make it happen. SPOILER WARNING: This movie hinges on a major twist, so if you want to see it but haven't yet, please do so before listening. Then join us for the Drama.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

The Dudes make friends with a Coke drinking, McNugget loving space creature in 1988's "Mac & Me"! This blatant E.T. ripoff is famously terrible, but I would argue it's more bizarre than bad. Forced product placement, blatant script theft, and unintentional body horror are just a few of the things that make this mess of a movie what it is. So if you're up for it, grab a Coke and take a gander. Just don't let Spielberg know.

The Dudes head to Shermer once again with 1989's Uncle Buck. This family comedy is a perfect showcase for the greatness of John Candy, the force of nature who left us far too soon. His co-stars and romantic interests include Amy Madigan and Laurie Metcalf, meaning he's pursued in this film by two Oscar nominees. John was that special, so join us for the breakdown!

September 29th, 2015... of course! That's the day the Dudes invented podcasting. Actually, it's when we released our 5th episode: Back to the Future. So, we fired up our flux capacitors and revisited this absolutely amazing film to give it the discussion it deserves. This is heavy.

The Dudes enlist for the Union in 1989's Glory. We all know the U.S. Civil War was a terrible tragedy, but it ended one of the worst crimes it had ever committed: slavery. This film has excellent performances and shines a light on the brave men who fought for what's right. So let out that single Denzel tear, and watch it already.

The Dudes D up in multiple ways with 2000's Love & Basketball. While this love story ends well, it's about as complex as romances get. People do treat each other badly in real life, but when it happens in the movies, it's just as hard to watch. But still watch!

The Dudes head to Kingston, Jamaica to make it big as reggae artists in 1972's The Harder They Come. Jimmy Cliff is a musical legend, and this film started it all. He plays Ivan, a poor man who chases his dreams, but manages to get on the wrong side of the law, the ganja trade, and the music industry. He also rocks the crap out of that yellow hat. If only we could be so rad.

The Dudes eat unlicensed cereal and avoid Tiny Lister with 1995's Friday. This 90s Stoner Comedy has its moments, and if you're in the right mood, it can still bring happiness. So join, Scott, Dave, and sometimes Scott's dog in the background for an innocent good time.

The Dudes enter the 1980's New York art scene with 1996's Basquiat. This biopic of Jean-Michel Basquiat chronicles his meteoric rise, and the affect it has on himself and those around him. The cast is unconventionally deep, where even the minor characters are played by A-listers. It's worth your time, so get out your pink scarves, and sit down for a great film.
