We Have Such Films To Show You

Yakov and Josh talk with Tim Coe about David Lynch's moody, tense, reality-bending meditation on heartbreak, stardom, and the shifting faces of LA.

Josh and Yakov are joined by Whitney Reynolds to chatter about the good and the ehhhh in this spooky haunted asylum riff.

This cult classic from 1977 is all about gonzo experimentation, mixing humor and horror in dizzying but charming ways.

A good cast is wasted on an incoherent mashup of several wildly different films, none of which would have been great in the first place.

J and Y are at odds over whether this mid-90s horror flick was completely or merely watchably not-so-good. Josh is correct.

Josh and Yakov are joined by Mark Popham for a cheery discussion of the good bits and odd stumbles of this very nice-looking piece of genre-mush moodful fun.

We manage to spend two hours without even really discussing the blood elevator. That's how much this classic has going on.

A messy relic of the 90s, pitting unlikeable humans against an inept killbot in a post-apocalyptic future that its surprisingly hard to care about. Also a cameo by Lemmy.

Thoughtful, visually tremendous film about the burdens and decisions of a young man and young woman in Bad City.

This 1987 Joel Schumacher film can't really decide if it's a screwball comedy or a teen coming of age story, and so does a confused job of trying to be both.

Wes Craven revisits the original Nightmare from a metatextual distance, casting the cast as themselves. Johnny Depp does not appear in this film.

Freddy Kreuger! Claw hand! Dying in dreams! Introducing Johnny Depp! This is not a movie for which I really need to construct a coherent critical summary. You've seen it, or you should see it.

Never has a movie been more like what you'd expect to get when you see "WolfCop" on Netflix than this one. There's a cop. He's a wolf. Or vice versa. It's Canadian! And not very good.

Yakov and Josh are surprised and impressed by the subtle characterizations and lack of easy explotative outs in this meditation on sex, consent, young adulthood, and the isolation and fear that comes with betrayal. Also: a killer ghost.

What a weird, wonderful oddity of a film! Chock full of folk music and surprisingly non-exploitative nudity and the occasional pagan ritual murder, the original film bears essentailly zero resemblence to Nic Cage's 2006 bee adventure.

Josh and Yakov enjoy the heck out of this playful and visually fun supernatural horror/thriller/fantasy from 2004 even though it's only about half of the story, with sequel Day Watch picking up the other half of the plot. Also, Yakov speaks some Russian.

It's a Valentines Day tradition; this year the box 'o filmic chocolates is the sadly deeply mediocre (but 3D!) 2009 remake of the 1981 gory/silly Canadian slasher classic. Josh drank some Moosehead Lager just to get through it.

Cronenberg as entymologist! Yakov and Josh revel in the boffo makeup/creature effects of this Jeff Goldblumiest of Jeff Goldblum roles and speculate about Seth Brundle clones inhabiting the Hollywood universe.

The WHSFTSY fellas tear into this addled Trapper Keeper drawing of a film, trying to find something redeeming in a film that's neither a meditation on Mary Shelley's original story nor a particularly good action blockbuster.

Clive Barker makes film; execs mangle film; Barker restores film; Josh and Yakov watch film; Josh and Yakov complain about film.
