Treknobabble 5: Cause & Effect 09/07/2026

Treknobabble 5: Cause & Effect In honour of Star Trek Day, we are taking an episode of Treknobabble out of the Patreon vault! This time around we discuss season 5 episode 18, Cause & Effect (aka The Time Loop Episode). Must be deja vu... or is it vuja dej? /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/42810510

Singin' in the Rain (1952) 09/07/2026

Singin' in the Rain (1952) Come Rain, come shine, come snow, come sleet, the show must go on! We are dancing our way through an all-time classic this week on Film Junk with the 1952 Gene Kelly musical Singin' in the Rain. The genre and era are a bit of a blind spot for us so we also brought in an "expert" to help us with our analysis. Does any of the humour still work for modern audiences? Which of the song and dance numbers are the most impressive? Is Donald O'Connor an unsung hero or is he just creepy? Is the movie truly a masterpiece or is it another case of classitosis?

Film Junk Calendar Reveal - Sept 2026 08/28/2026

Film Junk Calendar Reveal - Sept 2026 "COME SEPTEMBER, YOU CAN SUCKING ON MY BIG FAT MEMBER" - Dolly Parton, RIP Listen, this month gets dark in a few spots, but honestly, it's about time you WAKE UP and consider the atomic sword of Damocles hanging over ALL of our heads EVERY SINGLE DAY. When those missiles strike, it's not as simple as popping an umbrella and tip-tapping carefree and gay as can be in a REIGN OF FIRE. Unless that umbrella is made from some SERIOUS fire retarded material, that umbrella ain't DOIN' SHIT. All that and a documentary. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/42590060

Unlawful Entry (1992) 08/12/2026

Unlawful Entry (1992) "What are you gonna do, tough guy? You gonna make a citizen's arrest?" This week on Film Junk, we are ending the summer season off with a fun '90s thriller starring Kurt Russell, Ray Liotta and Madeleine Stowe. Unlawful Entry is not necessarily a masterpiece but it is watchable in the best way possible. Does this movie have a deeper social commentary or is it just a shallow genre exercise? Is Ray Liotta's performance deserving of more praise than an MTV Movie Award nomination? What would you do if you got the chance to beat up the man who broke into your house and terrorized your wife? Try and guess our seven-letter password on this week's episode of Film Junk. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/42397840

Falling Down (1993) 08/10/2026

Falling Down (1993) "I am not a vigilante. I am just trying to get home to my little girl's birthday party and if everyone will just stay out of my way, nobody will get hurt." This week we revisit Joel Schumacher's 1993 dark comedy / thriller Falling Down and find out whether it has gotten more or less controversial over the years. Is D-Fens a relatable anti-hero or just an entitled asshole? Is Prendergast's character arc satisfying or weirdly regressive? Does this movie feel out of place in Joel Schumacher's filmography? Should fast food restaurants just serve breakfast all day long? Go past the point of no return... this week's episode of Film Junk is not economically viable. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/42385175

The Fan (1996) 08/09/2026

The Fan (1996) 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: toxic politeness or toxic fandom? Find out why baseball's better than life on this week's Film Junk Podcast. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/42372560

TV Junk Episode #57: The Bear - Season 5 08/07/2026

TV Junk Episode #57: The Bear - Season 5 It's Chicago Original Berf time once again as the TV Junk Podcast makes a reservation for The Bear Season 5. Frank, Sean and Greg breakdown each episode and chat condiments, food plating, Michelin stars and how the series finale played out. Yes Chef, they also hand out superlatives. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Greg's thirsty 15 year old German Shepherd/Border Collie cross, Chester. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/42354670

Pleasantville (1998) 08/06/2026

Pleasantville (1998) 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... tune in to this week's episode of Film Junk now. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/42350390

Wake in Fright (1971) 08/02/2026

Wake in Fright (1971) 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? How does anyone follow the chaos of betting on Two-Up? Is there any justification for the brutal kangaroo hunting scenes? Could any of us survive a week in The Yabba? Come and have a drink, mate… sit down with the latest episode of Film Junk. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/42293155

Film Junk Calendar Reveal - Aug 2026 07/21/2026

Film Junk Calendar Reveal - Aug 2026 "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. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/42175655

The Odyssey (2026) 07/15/2026

The Odyssey (2026) "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. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/42098690

Mr. Nobody (2009) 07/15/2026

Mr. Nobody (2009) You have to make the right choice. As long as you don't choose, everything remains possible. For some reason we chose to go back in time to re-review Mr. Nobody as this month's mystery movie, revisiting a conversation that holds special significance in Film Junk history. Do we still hate it or have we learned to embrace the chaos of life? Does the movie do a good job of explaining quantum physics, entropy and The Big Crunch? Are the visuals beautiful and unique or just ripped off from other movies? Is this one of Jared Leto's best performances? Life is a playground... mix the mashed potatoes and the sauce and listen to this week's episode of Film Junk. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/42096350

Rain Man (1988) 07/06/2026

Rain Man (1988) “What you have to understand is, four days ago he was only my brother in name and this morning we had pancakes.” It's time for another Frankie favourite here on Film Junk: the 1988 road trip dramedy Rain Man! This one was a huge blockbuster at the time and went on to win four Oscars including Best Picture. But has it been forgotten and a little underappreciated over the years? Was Dustin Hoffman right to question his own performance? Was Tom Cruise snubbed by the Academy that year? Did Hans Zimmer’s score break new ground or was it just following ‘80s trends? Would Raymond really say "Kmart sucks"? Definitely three minutes to Wapner... hurry up and listen to this week's episode of the Film Junk Podcast. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/41971210

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) 07/04/2026

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) Damn! We're in a tight spot! This week we are seeking treasure with Ulysses Everett McGill and his two companions, Pete and Delmar, in the 2000 Coen Brothers musical comedy O Brother, Where Art Thou? Based loosely upon The Odyssey, this movie was a big hit for The Coens at the time and the soundtrack was massive. But did anyone actually listen to it or was it all just awards hype? Does the early digital colour correction hold up or is it now a bit of an eyesore? Where does this movie rank in the Coen Brothers' filmography? Is it George Clooney's best comedic performance of all time? See you in the funny pages, boys... it's a bushwhack on this week's episode of Film Junk. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/41959195

Hercules (1983) 06/26/2026

Hercules (1983) "Hercules! Hercules! Hercules!" - Mama Klump. Join us as we crack open Pandora's Jug and chug about an hour-and-change worth of podcast protein puree; thick and white and full of all the nutrients needed to build out those pectoral muscles to the point of total nipple inversion. Lou (Luigi) Ferrigno's clearly been jug chugging that protein pablum in preparation for Luigi Cozzi's celestial peplum. His nipples are completely inverted. NOTE: There are no crystals in this motion picture. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/41835255

Film Junk Calendar Reveal - July 2026 06/26/2026

Film Junk Calendar Reveal - July 2026 Hello Junkers, we're trying something new here to coincide with the announcement of our upcoming episodes for July. Moving forward, we will be "juicing" these announcements by releasing a short reveal episode every month where we announce our picks and attempt to justify them to each other. The plan is to release these short episodes publicly in both audio and video format so that everyone can complain about our choices together! The official calendar and order of the episodes will be released shortly afterward. So what's coming in July? Any guesses?? You'll have to watch or listen to find out! /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/41828735

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985) 06/17/2026

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985) Professional assassination is the highest form of public service. Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins was sadly both the beginning and the end of a movie franchise that wanted to be the "red, white and blue collar" version of James Bond. But is it better than its reputation lets on or are we desperately trying to force feed a dud? Why does reconstructive facial surgery look like someone just shaved off their moustache? Is the stunt work in this movie objectively spectacular? How did a white actor get a Golden Globe nomination for playing a Korean man? Does your nightingale sing?

Disclosure Day (2026) 06/17/2026

Disclosure Day (2026) Are you an experiencer? With Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg returns to the idea of extra-terrestrials and brings with him a bold message for humanity. But is this a triumphant return to form for the Scarf or a major disappointment? Are we true believers or whistleblowers? Let's dive into the mystery and suspense, not to mention the convenient plot points and questionable CG animals. People have a right to know the truth. Listen... to the latest episode of the Film Junk Podcast. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/41673245

Saving Private Ryan (1998) 06/10/2026

Saving Private Ryan (1998) O my God, I trust in thee. Let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me. With Steven Spielberg's latest film Disclosure Day hitting theatres this month, we decided to revisit one of his most successful movies of all time and one that we have not discussed in great detail before. 1998's Saving Private Ryan was a hugely influential film that redefined action movies for decades to come, but does it hold up in 2026 or is it FUBAR? Is Spielberg always ahead of the curve with his casting choices? Is this an anti-war movie and is such a thing even possible? Would the Call of Duty video games exist without this movie? Which members of the Film Junk crew would have survived WWII? Earn this and download this week's episode of Film Junk. /episode/index/show/filmjunk/id/41605575
