Don't agree with PH about Frenchie 2! I think 2 is lame as hell.

I still endorse your Podcast.

Plus: rewatch the kicking heroin scene. I have always hated the 'kicking heroin' scenes/montages in all other movies save for this one.

how can you leave out EVIL DEAD 2?



Hell yes.  Bruce Campbell would be flipping burgers right now if it weren't for that movie specifically.  The original Evil Dead would have been long forgotten without the sequel.

True dat.

Road Warrior, Empire Strikes Back, Evil Dead 2 and T2 are the benchmarks, here. Aliens I gotta disagree with - that first one is scary as shit. #2 is awesome, too, but I don't think they really compare on the same level - they're different kinds of movies.

I was flipping around the other night and hit upon Godfather 1 on TV, right in the middle of that whole sequence in the middle when Michael goes to Italy and the plot comes to a cold stop while he spends like 20 minutes dicking around the countryside, marrying the girl, and that she gets killed and he comes back to America and picks up the plot like nothing ever happened... I know it's a complete given to say that Part 2 is better than part 1, but man, watching just that sequence underlined it for me yet again.
I'm warning you with peace and love.
