253 – The Beastmaster
The Dudes gyrate around a cauldron with 1982’s The Beastmaster.

252 – Caligula: The Ultimate Cut
The Dudes are no longer in a porno with Caligula: The Ultimate Cut! Completely rebuilt from recently discovered archival footage, not a single frame is the same as the 1979 original.

251 – The Apartment
The Dudes are astonished by the depths of careerism and self-loathing with 1960’s The Apartment. This witty, Billy Wilder-directed classic is heartfelt, funny, and romantic.

248 – Zodiac
The Dudes try to solve a cold case with 2007’s Zodiac. David Fincher expertly captured the exhaustive fervor, mass hysteria and obsessive paranoia surrounding this famous true-crime event.
