The Fan (1996)
Film Junk: The Longest-Running Movie Podcast
Hey Bobby, now do you care? Just a little bit? This week we are stepping up to the plate to revisit an underrated Tony Scott thriller that was definitely not a hit on initial release. His batting average as a director is pretty solid but everyone goes through the occasional slump. Is it a forgotten classic or is it like a bad freeway accident with everyone slowing down to watch? Does any part of this movie feel realistic or does it even matter? Is the prominent use of Nine Inch Nails on the soundtrack a plus or a minus? Are there hidden Major League references in this movie? What's worse:...

Pleasantville (1998)
Film Junk: The Longest-Running Movie Podcast
Where's my dinner? This week on the Film Junk Podcast we step inside the world of a 1950s black and white sitcom with the 1998 high concept dramedy Pleasantville. The movie was fairly well-received at the time but let's find out how it holds up almost 30 years later. Is the social commentary on point or does it miss the mark? Do the digital desaturation effects still dazzle? Is this movie better or worse than The Truman Show? What was Don Knotts' mysterious TV repairman trying to accomplish anyway? It's time to separate out the things that are pleasant from the things that are unpleasant......

Wake in Fright (1971)
Film Junk: The Longest-Running Movie Podcast
Note: This episode is dedicated to longtime listener and beloved Film Junk community member Charbel Beaini, aka Chuck B, who sadly passed last week. His positive presence will be greatly missed, and our hearts go out to his family and friends. All the little devils are proud of hell. This week on the Film Junk Podcast, we travel to The Yabba and experience the extreme heat and aggressive hospitality of the Australian outback in Wake in Fright. This cult classic plays like a horror movie but has a unique vibe that we won’t soon forget. Is everyone in this movie practicing toxic politeness?...

"Come August, we like to celebrate: Saint Suck My Big Fat Fucking Sausage!" August's lineup is here, and Magnolia is NOT on the schedule! BUT... customer service is on trial in this collection of films that interrogate the concept of TOXIC POLITENESS and the challenging of societal norms, whether it be the right to use ANY colour you'd like for your NUDIE MURAL, or the right to order fast food breakfast ANY TIME OF THE DAY. What are you looking forward to? What are you DREADING? What are you ON? FUCK YOU DUDE. Just joking. RELAX.

The Odyssey (2026)
Film Junk: The Longest-Running Movie Podcast
"Why cover the same ground again? It goes against my grain to repeat a tale told once, and told so clearly." Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has finally arrived but it may not be the hero's journey you were expecting. Join us as we wax poetic on this epic in the grand oral traditions of old. Can this classic story connect with a modern audience? Is Nolan's preference for practical effects his greatest strength or an achilles heel? Are the American accents a bold choice or just plain bad? Follow Zeus' law and pull up a chair while we regale you with the latest episode of Film Junk.
info_outlineWe've got our list of non-negotiables ready and it's time to head back into the kitchen. Sean, Zak, Frank and Greg discuss the Bear Season 3. We do an episode by episode breakdown and realize we know nothing about how restaurants work. We also discuss Jamie Lee Curtis locking down an Emmy, John Cena's impact, which of us are foodies and who has been to Matty Matheson's restaurant, Rizzo's House of Parm. All that and superlatives! "Yes Chef."
