Film Junk Podcast

"What are you gonna do, tough guy? You gonna make a citizen's arrest?" This week on Film Junk, we are ending the summer season off with a fun '90s thriller starring Kurt Russell, Ray Liotta and Madeleine Stowe. Unlawful Entry is not necessarily a masterpiece but it is watchable in the best way possible. Does this movie have a deeper social commentary or is it just a shallow genre exercise? Is Ray Liotta's performance deserving of more praise than an MTV Movie Award nomination? What would you do if you got the chance to beat up the man who broke into your house and terrorized your wife? Try and guess our seven-letter password on this week's episode of Film Junk.

"COME SEPTEMBER, YOU CAN SUCKING ON MY BIG FAT MEMBER" - Dolly Parton, RIP. Listen, this month gets dark in a few spots, but honestly, it's about time you WAKE UP and consider the atomic sword of Damocles hanging over ALL of our heads EVERY SINGLE DAY. When those missiles strike, it's not as simple as popping an umbrella and tip-tapping carefree and gay as can be in a REIGN OF FIRE. Unless that umbrella is made from some SERIOUS fire retarded material, that umbrella ain't DOIN' SHIT. All that and a documentary.

"I am not a vigilante. I am just trying to get home to my little girl's birthday party and if everyone will just stay out of my way, nobody will get hurt." This week we revisit Joel Schumacher's 1993 dark comedy / thriller Falling Down and find out whether it has gotten more or less controversial over the years. Is D-Fens a relatable anti-hero or just an entitled asshole? Is Prendergast's character arc satisfying or weirdly regressive? Does this movie feel out of place in Joel Schumacher's filmography? Should fast food restaurants just serve breakfast all day long? Go past the point of no return... this week's episode of Film Junk is not economically viable.

Hey Bobby, now do you care? Just a little bit? This week we are stepping up to the plate to revisit an underrated Tony Scott thriller that was definitely not a hit on initial release. His batting average as a director is pretty solid but everyone goes through the occasional slump. Is it a forgotten classic or is it like a bad freeway accident with everyone slowing down to watch? Does any part of this movie feel realistic or does it even matter? Is the prominent use of Nine Inch Nails on the soundtrack a plus or a minus? Are there hidden Major League references in this movie? What's worse: toxic politeness or toxic fandom? Find out why baseball's better than life on this week's Film Junk Podcast.

Note: This episode is dedicated to longtime listener and beloved Film Junk community member Charbel Beaini, aka Chuck B, who sadly passed last week. His positive presence will be greatly missed, and our hearts go out to his family and friends.

All the little devils are proud of hell. This week on the Film Junk Podcast, we travel to The Yabba and experience the extreme heat and aggressive hospitality of the Australian outback in Wake in Fright. This cult classic plays like a horror movie but has a unique vibe that we won’t soon forget. Is everyone in this movie practicing toxic politeness? How does anyone follow the chaos of betting on Two-Up? Is there any justification for the brutal kangaroo hunting scenes? Could any of us survive a week in The Yabba? Come and have a drink, mate... sit down with the latest episode of Film Junk.
