257 – The Burbs
The Dudes mow their lawn for the 800th time and then snap with 1989’s The Burbs. This comedic study of life in a very sheltered environment exposes ugly secrets about how Americans view anything they’re not used to. It also features an illogical ending that sends Dave on a filibuster. And just remember everybody: Satan… Read more

256 – One Hour Photo
The dudes develop photos, and unhealthy obsessions, with 2002’s One Hour Photo! This Robin Williams vehicle hinges on his playing against type. And it works. He steals customers’ private photos, threatens naked people with hunting knives, and inappropriately gifts anime toys to little kids. It’s everything Mrs. Doubtfire should have been! OTHER MOVIES DISCUSSED Forbidden… Read more

255 – In Bruge
Dudes On Demand 2025 concludes as The Dudes brawl with Canadian tourists and look at Messianic blood with 2008’s In Bruges. Like Goofus and Gallant, Ray’s and Ken’s life choices often contrast in a way that makes outsiders feel one man is better than the other. And this is correct. But every life has value,… Read more

It’s the annual lookback show where Scott and Dave give you their thoughts on the state of the show! We discuss our accomplishments, failures (i.e.. Scott’s screw ups!), and what we have coming in 2025. It’s a look behind the curtains that would make Dorothy jealous. And of course we wouldn’t be able to discuss… Read more

254 – Spirited Away
The Dudes remember their names with 2001’s Spirited Away! This masterpiece from Studio Ghibli is often considered the best animated film ever made. From the imaginative and relatable characters, the universal storytelling, and incredibly intricate visuals, this film has it all. It’s not perfect, but it’s damn near close. Watch it or I’ll cry! OTHER… Read more

253 – The Beastmaster
The Dudes gyrate around a cauldron with 1982’s The Beastmaster. Full of imagination and ideas, this ambitious film that played for years on Basic and Premium Cable is a worthy Sword and Sorcery entry, an unfairly maligned genre. So strip to your loincloths and cacaw from mountaintops, because if you’re in the right headspace, this… Read more

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. Alternate takes, angles, and audio create a completely new experience. And this time it makes sense! But don’t worry, there’s still plenty of depravity… Read more

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. It’s also tragic, and a hard look at what can happen when we sit idly by and allow the people in charge do whatever they want. This New Year’s Eve,… Read more
