The podcast for this week's theme is movies about fake musicians that are not about the musicians. First we delve into the Cameron Crow semi autobiographical film about a fifteen year old working for Rolling Stone magazine in Almost Famous. We contrast it with a bunch of teenagers navigating life and drama in Empire Records.

We finish our Terry Gilliam miniseries by discussing Tideland, The Legend of Hallowdega, The Wholly Family, The Zero Theorem, and The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.

 We continue our Terry Gilliam miniseries. This episode we rehash Twelve Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and The Brothers Grimm.

We continue to deep dive into Terry Gilliam's filmography by discussing his stone cold dystopian masterpiece Brazil, his over budget bomb (but cult classic) The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, and his first Hollywood film, as well as first Hollywood success, The Fisher King.

This is part one of a series we're doing discussing Terry Gilliam's work as a director. We discuss his beginnings in animation for Do Not Adjust Your Set, Monty Python's Flying Circus, as well as his shorts Storytime and Miracle of Flight. Finally we get to his first features: Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Jabberwocky, Time Bandits, and The Meaning of Life.

It's time for a summer rerun. So we return to 2014 when Biggs and Box Office Battle co-founder Zac reviewed Zombie Nation for the Reel Roulette podcast. Of the hundreds of podcasts in the NOT SAFE FOR netWORK history, this covers the craziest film we've ever reviewed.

A villain defeats the world two minutes into the movie and takes on a privileged white a-hole in Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam. Then a thousand year old man races the devil for five souls in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

A private eye and an enforcer join forces to find a missing girl and investigate the death of a porn star in 1970's LA in The Nice Guys. Then two teenage friends dress up silly and dispense trivia in the delightful Wes Craven romp Scream. The theme this week is buddy movies.

Blood Simple is the Coen Brothers' first film about a husband who decides to murder his wife. Then everything goes off the rails, as the Coen Brothers are wont to do. Johnny Dangerously Amy Heckerling's slapstick take on older gangster films starring Michael Keaton. This week it's subversive noir movies with people kicked in the junk.

We review Da 5 Bloods, The King of Staten Island, Mandy, Blood Machines, and look back at Dark Phoenix, and Shazam!
