The Pod Bay Doors Podcast, Episode #83: City Lights (1931)
This week, Jerry and Doug revisit Charlie Chaplin and discuss his masterpiece City Lights (1931). Pull up a chair, put a flower in your lapel, and don’t forget us when you’re sober.
Isle of Dogs (2018)
Wes Anderson takes to whimsy like a duck to water. It must be in his bones, he knows how to conceptualize it in a way that is droll and wry but never forced. After 20 years one might think that his bag of whimsical drollery might be wearing out its welcome, but not so fast. […]
I Love You, Daddy (2017)
You know how they say that in show business timing is everything? Well, someone might well have listened. In the midst of a sexual misconduct roll call that has already sucked up Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey, now Louis C.K. falls into the fray in the midst of confirmation of rumors that, over the course […]
CHiPs (2017)
CHiPs features a brief but lingering shot of a cat’s anus. This is supposed to be a joke. That should seal the deal on whether or not you want to see it. If it doesn’t, you need help. For that reason, and many others, I don’t want to meet the people who would be entertained […]

She was a terrible singer whose unenviable singing voice emitted squawks comparable to a goose passing bricks instead of eggs. During World […]
Ghostbusters (2016)
Well . . . at the very least you can say it’s better than Ghostbusters 2. Amid all the gnashing and biting over this movie in the past two years, I have tried to remain mum about it. The movie is unnecessary, for sure, but in the end it isn’t the disaster that the naysayers […]
Keanu (2016)
Keanu might very well be the cutest violent action comedy that I’ve ever seen. Seriously, it’s adorable. It features a kitten that draws the “awwwww” from the audience every time it mews, but it’s surrounded by violence at every turn. There’s a moment in this movie when we see a severed hand in the foreground […]
Everybody Wants Some!! (2016)
Nostalgia these days is a dime a dozen. Go to your local retail store and you can see that it has practically become a cottage industry. It doesn’t take much to make nostalgia into a visual feast, but it takes a steady hand to give you the pure feel for something that takes you back. […]
