"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good". (No it most certainly is not.) Yes, the Dudes wade into Late-stage Capitalism with 1987's "Wall Street"! Michael Douglas's iconic performance as Gordon Gekko will make you question whether we live in a democracy.  Its also just a good movie, and you should watch it.  Join us!  Other movies discussed Italianamerican (1974) - Directed by Martin Scorcese Rambo III (1988) - Directed by Peter MacDonald QUESTION OF THE WEEK What film is the best cautionary tale about being lead astray by the wrong mentor?

Hey Dudes! Scott and Dave are back with all new episodes! We are extremely excited to continue our cinematic adventure with you!

It had to happen someday everybody.  The Dudes' bid you all Godspeed with 1990's "The Godfather Part III", directed by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, and Andy Garcia.  If you know anyone that doesn't support this movie, they likely never saw it, or they have no taste.  Either way, cut them out of your life! This has been an amazing 3 years, thanks to everyone who supported us, we miss you already! Other Movies Discussed: Body Heat (1981) – Directed by Lawrence Kasdan Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) – Directed by Jake Kasdan

With heavy hearts, (listen til' the end), The Dudes discuss everyone's all-time favorite, 1996's "Independence Day", directed by Roland Emmerich, starring Will Smith, Bill Pullman, and Jeff Goldblum.  You know the plot, "David tell him!"

The Dudes demand answers about existence and ponder The Book of Job with 2009's "A Serious Man", directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, starring Michael Stuhlbarg.  When a person's life becomes a parade of misery, their faith in God is tested.  And when your local clergy and even loved ones seem to hate your guts for no good reason, the only refuge is.........You know what?  We don't know, and we're not permitted to know for reasons we've been told we could never comprehend.  So join us for a discussion about a truly great movie by two American Masters. Other Movies Discussed: Jigokumon (Gate of Hell) (1953) – Directed by Teinosuke Kinugasa Les Diaboliques (1955) – Directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What is your favorite Coen Brothers film?

The Dudes analyze cinematic tofu with 2001's "Life As A House", directed by Irwin Winkler, starring Kevin Kline, Kristin Scott Thomas and Hayden Christensen.  When a person knows their death is imminent, they tend to develop immunity to life's inconsequential nonsense, which ordinarily would be relatable.  But when every imaginable storytelling cliche' is employed, it becomes harder and harder to truly sympathize with what should be universally appreciated.  Join us for this R-rated Hallmark Hall of Fame feature.

The Dudes tackle censorship and religious hypocrisy with 2000's "Quills", directed by Philip Kaufman, starring Geoffrey Rush and Kate Winslet.  Though the developed world seemingly enjoys freedom of expression today, if we look closer we realize that the careful management of art and information is about as bad today as it was in the time of the Marquis de Sade.  Its not an easy subject, buts its an important one that affects us all. Other Movies Discussed: The Lost City of Z (2017) – Directed by James Gray Last Flag Flying (2017) – Directed by Richard Linklater QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What is your favorite Michael Caine performance?

The Dudes machete their way through Spanish moss with 1997's "Eve's Bayou", directed by Kasi Lemmons, starring Lynn Whitfield and Samuel L. Jackson.  When we reflect on any experience, did it always happen exactly as our memory says it did?  Can our own minds be characterized as unreliable on something we're damned sure about?  The Dudes don't fully know either, but join us anyway for a hidden gem from the great decade that was the 1990s! Other Movies Discussed: Good Time (2017) – Directed by Josh and Benny Safdie Spaceballs (1987) – Directed by Mel Brooks QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What is your favorite movie set in The Deep South?

The Dudes come hard after some very famous people with 1992's "Bram Stoker's Dracula", directed by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder.  Is introducing suburban children to the magic of goth culture enough to save this sumptuous, practical effects-driven re-telling of Stoker's legend?  Join the Dudes as they come to a pitiless verdict!  (At least Scott.)  Other Movies Discussed: The Lost Boys (1987) – Directed by Joel Schumacher The Wizard of Oz (1939) – Directed by Victor Fleming (eventually) QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What is your favorite vampire movie?

Coming to terms with grief and loss dominates 1997's "The Sweet Hereafter", directed by Atom Egoyan, starring Ian Holm and Sarah Polley.  This story about the aftermath of a school bus crash in a small town features excellent performances and a particularly outstanding use of a non-linear timeline.  Its not fun, but its still great.  Join us!

The Dudes would never ask "Is this seat taken?" with 1986's "The Karate Kid Part II", directed by John G. Avildsen, starring Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita.  Daniel Larusso, everyone's favorite obnoxious, ugly American, accompanies his mentor Mr. Miyagi to Okinawa.
