Digger, the latest from Birdman director Alejandro G. Iñárritu, follows Tom Cruise's Digger Rockwell, an oil baron racing to prove he's the only man who can fix the catastrophe he set in motion. Chris loved it; Mike walked in ready to damn it with faint praise and talked himself around by the end. Both agree on what it is: heavy-handed, badly sold, and somehow both the least Tom Cruise movie in years and the most Tom Cruise movie either of them can think of.<br /><br />The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Tom Cruise, the billionaire class, and so much more.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support</a>.<br /><br />———<br /><br />The Kulturecast is a film and culture podcast from Weirding Way Media, hosted by Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, alongside a rotating table of guest co-hosts.

It is a small character comedy that quietly reshaped an entire industry: great movie, terrible role models.<br /><br />Dr. David D. Perlmutter joins Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Alexander Payne, self-sabotage, wine as metaphor, and so much more.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support</a>.<br /><br />———<br /><br />The Kulturecast is a film and culture podcast from Weirding Way Media, hosted by Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, alongside a rotating table of guest co-hosts.

Kane Parsons' feature debut for A24, adapted from his own viral YouTube series, follows Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve into an endless maze of yellow rooms beneath a furniture showroom. Contrast that with Scary Movie, the Wayans brothers' horror-comedy franchise returning from a long, justified and much-needed absence, and the result is a hell of a double feature. Chris bemoans one far more than the other and, shockingly, it was the more expensive of the two.<br /><br />Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, talks Backrooms, Scary Movie, Gen Z horror, and so much more.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support</a>.<br /><br />———<br /><br />The Kulturecast is a film and culture podcast from Weirding Way Media, hosted by Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, alongside a rotating table of guest co-hosts.

This time, RV (2006) sputters into the spotlight: a Barry Sonnenfeld road-trip comedy that desperately wants to be National Lampoon's Vacation but barely makes it out of the driveway.

To call it an unconventional relationship understates the genuine charm and magic of the film and its leads, to say nothing of that Cat Stevens soundtrack.<br /><br />Adam Long of Adam's Corner joins Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Bud Cort, Ruth Gordon, Cat Stevens, and so much more.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support</a>.<br /><br />———<br /><br />The Kulturecast is a film and culture podcast from Weirding Way Media, hosted by Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, alongside a rotating table of guest co-hosts.

How it compares to the book, the dreadful 2010 remake, and who else could have played Lou Ford all come up.<br /><br />Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallagher and Mondo Heather's Heather Drain join Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Jim Thompson, Stacy Keach, Lou Ford, and so much more.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support</a>.<br /><br />———<br /><br />The Kulturecast is a film and culture podcast from Weirding Way Media, hosted by Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, alongside a rotating table of guest co-hosts.

That Thing You Do!, Tom Hanks' feature directorial debut and a possible entry into the perfect film club, follows the Oneders, a small-town band whose title song carries them to fame, fortune and everything that comes with being a one-hit wonder, with Hanks as Play-Tone Records manager Mr. White.

Roy Wood Jr., Kyle MacLachlan, Marcia Gay Harden, and John Slattery round out the cast.

It's a mix of kung fu, action, and humor, with three of the most charismatic leads in blaxploitation history, a trio with a fair claim to blaxploitation's Mount Rushmore, and it raises the question of why there are so few contemporary blaxploitation films.<br /><br />The Projection Booth's Mike White and MondoHeather's Heather Drain join Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Jim Brown, Fred Williamson, Jim Kelly, and so much more.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support</a>.<br /><br />———<br /><br />The Kulturecast is a film and culture podcast from Weirding Way Media, hosted by Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, alongside a rotating table of guest co-hosts.

Based on J.G. Ballard's semi-autobiographical novel, it follows Bale's Jim, a stand-in for the young Ballard, who is separated from his parents when Japan occupies the city during World War II. Unfortunately, the movie meanders for over two and a half hours, attempting to say something important but ultimately failing to say much of anything, and becomes a case study in the problems with war movies.<br /><br />DC's Titans writer Richard Hatem joins Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Steven Spielberg, J.G.

Not only does Matthew Bright's film boast a who's who of famous and award-winning actors, including Matthew McConaughey, Gary Oldman, Peter Dinklage, and Patricia Arquette, but it also attempts to tackle a serious subject: dwarfism. McConaughey's Steven is an average-height man from a family of dwarfs whose girlfriend, Kate Beckinsale's Carol, becomes pregnant, leaving him unable to come to terms with the possibility that their child may be a dwarf. With Gary Oldman as Steven's dwarf twin brother, it's a bizarre, tonally inconsistent film that has to be seen to be believed.<br /><br />Eric Kniss joins Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Matthew Bright, Matthew McConaughey, Gary Oldman, and so much more.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support</a>.<br /><br />———<br /><br />The Kulturecast is a film and culture podcast from Weirding Way Media, hosted by Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, alongside a rotating table of guest co-hosts.

Smack dab in the middle of the Nicolas Cage retrospective comes Spike Jonze's Adaptation., which earned Cage another Oscar nomination.

It's an interesting meta film that feels right at home with the other Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman collaborations.<br /><br />Sean Liang joins Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Spike Jonze, Charlie Kaufman, Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, and so much more.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support</a>.<br /><br />———<br /><br />The Kulturecast is a film and culture podcast from Weirding Way Media, hosted by Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, alongside a rotating table of guest co-hosts.

He runs into trouble, however, when he goes after Gabe Law, also played by Li, and martial arts mayhem ensues, with Jason Statham, Delroy Lindo and Carla Gugino along for the ride.<br /><br />Film critic John Lein, Zach Nowack and Sean Liang join Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Jet Li, Jason Statham, the multiverse, and so much more.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support</a>.<br /><br />———<br /><br />The Kulturecast is a film and culture podcast from Weirding Way Media, hosted by Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, alongside a rotating table of guest co-hosts.
