The Dudes discuss 2004's "The Machinist", directed by Brad Anderson, starring Christian Bale.  With a movie very of its time, featuring a complicated if familiar plot, and an actor showing unhealthy commitment to a role, the Dudes are unsure how to tread.  Share your earbuds with a leather-clad stranger only you can see, and listen in!

In a rare timely episode, the Dudes discuss 2017’s “Mother!”, directed by Darren Aronofsky, and starring Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem.  This bizarre, surrealist high-wire act divided critics and audiences, but not the Dudes.  Join us for a lively dissection of the movie, and a long talk about why male artists are the worst.

The Dudes discuss 2002’s “The Magdalene Sisters”, directed by Peter Mullen, and starring Geraldine McEwan and Nora-Jane Noone.

The Dudes discuss 1972’s “Evil Roy Slade”, directed by Jerry Paris, and starring John Astin and Mickey Rooney.

The Dudes discuss 1993's "A Nightmare Before Christmas", directed by Henry Selick, starring Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon, and Catherine O'Hara.
