Sun, 8 April 2012

"Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance," "This Means War," "The Secret World of Arrietty," "Michael," "Bullhead"

Wed, 25 January 2012
Alonso's back from Park City, so this slightly tardy episode features his favorite films from the Sundance Film Festival, along with Dave's pick of good and bad action movies with female leads, and a documentary that's almost entirely about breasteses. |
Sun, 15 January 2012
Dave and Alonso are rendered almost speechless by the cruddiness of most of this week's movies, all the better to leave time to talk about lady doctors, Swinging London, and the intricacies of the "Petticoat Junction" theme song. |
Sun, 8 January 2012

Dave lays down his rules about listening to Christmas music and digs up an embarrassing article from the past, while Alonso wonders why Brett Ratner's new caper movie couldn't be as fun as, say, HOW TO BEAT THE HIGH CO$T OF LIVING. Can you even believe that this show is a year old? |
Sun, 30 October 2011
Dave is cranky -- and only partially because he watched A Serbian Film -- but he still does his Ernest Borgnine impersonation. Alonso tries to cheer him up with discussion of Christmas and Charlize Theron. |

Linoleum Knife 10/23/11: "Paranormal Activity 3," "The Three Musketeers," "Margin Call," "Martha Marcy May Marlene"

Sun, 25 September 2011
Linoleum Knife 09/25/11: "Moneyball," "Abduction," "Thunder Soul," "Dolphin Tale," "Machine Gun Preacher," "Weekend"

Sun, 11 September 2011
The scalping of Gwyneth Paltrow must be discussed, but first, Dave and Alonso have reminiscences about working in movie theaters during the summer of 1984. The ugly truth about nacho cheese and grape soda is frankly revealed. |

It's Labor Day Weekend, and the movies kinda suck. Dave and Alonso would rather talk about Thundercats and beer pong and "American Idol" runners-up and the Spin Doctors and decapods. |
Sun, 28 August 2011
Guest critics Jen Yamato and Todd Gilchrist join Alonso to discuss more late-summer movies. There's also confessions about classic movies not seen and mockery of junket journos who call celebs by their first names. Follow our guests at Twitter: @jenyamato and @mtgilchrist |

Dave and Alonso would rather talk about one-hit wonders and "Hart to Hart" than these late-summer doldrum movies, but they manage to cover both. Oh, and if you're a GetGlue.com person, you can now check in to the show -- but you'll have to find it listed with the TV shows. It just is. |

Linoleum Knife 08/14/11: "Glee: The 3D Concert Movie," "The Help," "Final Destination 5," "30 Minutes or Less"
Dave and Alonso welcome special guest Louis Virtel (Movieline.com, "Verbal Vogueing") to discuss what we love and hate about singing teenagers and why Part Fives are the new awesome. (If only the "House Party" franchise had made it that far.) The bumps in the audio happened because we decided later it wasn't nice to out a fellow film critic for crying at "Marley & Me."

Sun, 31 July 2011
Alonso would rather watch nine hours of Christian Marclay's conceptual art than 86 minutes of Smurfs, and Dave loves Miranda July and Captain America and doesn't care who knows it. |

Linoleum Knife 07/10/11 -- "Horrible Bosses," "Zookeeper," "A Better Life," "The Ledge," "Beats, Rhymes & Life"

Sun, 3 July 2011
Dave likes tea; Alonso likes coffee. Dave likes Michael Bay movies; Alonso likes his Twitter-pal Nia Vardalos. They both like monster-movie matinees. |
Sun, 26 June 2011
Dave and Alonso talk the week's new movies as well as the times when "boring" isn't necessarily a pejorative. There's also the discussion of the awkwardness of getting to know famous people and having to review their work. |

Linoleum Knife 06/19/11 -- "Green Lantern," "Mr. Popper's Penguins," "The Art of Getting By," "N-Secure"

Alonso and his special guest co-host, MTV's Ryan Downey, geek out about comics continuity and wonder how much indie-movie preciousness is too much indie-movie preciousness. Get to know Ryan at www.ryanjdowney.com |

Linoleum Knife 05/29/11 -- "The Hangover Part II," "Kung Fu Panda 2," "The Tree of Life," "A Labor of Love"
Dave and Alonso have art flicks, docs, and sequels to talk about, but they get a bit side-tracked remembering the bizarre life and terrible movies of the guy who wrote "You Light Up My Life." |
Sun, 22 May 2011
Linoleum Knife 05/22/11 -- "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," "Midnight in Paris," "Love Exposure," "L'Amour Fou," "Spork"

Despite being exhausted from a late-night concert and a post-brunch pancake coma, Dave and Alonso discuss the hilarious new Kristen Wiig movie, the terrible new Paul Bettany flick, as well as some limited-release indies. |
Sun, 8 May 2011
Linoleum Knife 05/08/11 -- "Thor," "Something Borrowed," "The Beaver," "Jumping the Broom," "Hobo with a Shotgun," "There Be Dragons"
Dave and Alonso have way too many movies to talk about this week, so things run a little long. But hey, you've got an unhinged chick flick, the return of Mel Gibson, Spanish Civil War histrionics, and a hobo with a shotgun, so, you know. |
