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.

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.

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. The acting is phenomenal, the attention to detail is meticulous, and the lack of Oscar nominations is unforgivable. Try not to ruin your life while listening to Read more
