Catherine Woods

Manchurian Candidate and Judgement at Nuremberg. The ending of Jidgement leads us directly to the Cold War paranoia of Manchurian. Plus the casting for both is amazing!

Ross McWilliams

Since Van Damuary was a hit why not Chanuary. A whole month dedicated to the greatest martial arts film star of all time, Jackie Chan. Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (1978) & Snake & Crane Arts of Shaolin (1978): Some early Chan. Project A (1983) & Project A Part II (1987): The Movie that established the Chan we all now love today and it's sequel. The Big Brawl (1980) & The Protector (1985): Chan's first attempts to break into America. Wheels on Meals (1984) & Dragons Forever (1988): A couple of collaborations with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao

Ubarlin Gizbar

The Fabulous Baron Munchausen (1962) + Alice (1988) : bizarre Czech animations

Coconut Crab

THE BEAST (1988) + BROTHER (1997) afghanistan fallout

Chase Padusniak

The Virgin Spring (1960) and The Last House on the Left (1972): Bergman’s arthouse rape-revenge story and Craven’s self-conscious exploitation recreation.

already covered: episode 102

Max Jackson

THE WARRIORS(1979) and THE WANDERERS(1979) Two "gang-sploitation" movies released within the same year, set in the same city, both with with colorful gang members, but varying heavily in that one is a chase/action movie, while the other is a coming of a age drama(with a fair bit of a action as well)

zagzome

Les Vampires (1915) and Irma Vep (1996) for obvious reasons (Irma Vep is a movie about remaking Les Vampires), the first would also be the oldest film on the podcast i think

Jealous Cactus

The Trial (1962) and Brazil (1985). Two darkly comic films of what happens when bureaucratic authoritarianism is both evil and incompetent.

Chase Padusniak

Neighbors (1981) and Parents (1989). Hammy and horrifying 80s black comedies about suburbia and what it’s like to manage the proximity and distance that come with our peculiar North American living arrangement. Both are strange beyond imagining. And Parents is Bob Balaban’s only film as a director! And who doesn’t love Bob Balaban (all the Christopher Guest mockumentaries, Seinfeld, Midnight Cowboy, Gosford Park, Altered States, Ghost World, Clockwatchers, etc.)?

Jackson Littlewood

EATING RAOUL (1982) + THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE, AND HER LOVER (1989): food-related crime films with cannibalism as a footnote

Brandon Esteves

This needs to finally be done

Caleb

Yes!

Matt Nisi

Bringing up Baby (1938) + What’s Up, Doc? (1972). A screwball comedy classic and Bogdanovich’s loving homage to the genre, both featuring geeky hot men in glasses, daffy dames, ripped suits and other ensuing hijinks.

"Roar (1981) and The Ghost and the Darkness (1996) - Two examples of movies involving lions from Hollywood. One is a traditional horror movie starring Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer trampling over what was reportedly Hollywood screenwriter GOD William Goldman's favorite screenplay and completely changing what he had written. The other is a traditional adventure comedy starring Tippi Hedren, her real life children including Melanie Griffith, being trampled over the lions, tigers, even elephants that they made a film about, all due to the insanity of director/producer/actor Noel Marshall, Hedren's real life husband. Both movie's productions were the results of working in real nature with real animals, and with all the behind the scenes nightmares there could be so much to talk about for this episode. Also, bonus for this for consideration, according to Letterboxd, Josh hasn't seen either yet, and Jamie hasn't seen Ghost and the Darkness. So it's a win-win for everybody!"

Brian Blake

The Birds (1963) and Roar (1981) - Undomesticated animals imperil Tippi Hedren.

Fran Evers

Jess Franco's VAMPYROS LESBOS (1971) and Jean Rollin's FASCINATION (1979), the most iconic movies of the dual princes of bizarre Eurosleaze lesbian vampire movies

Michael Bourke

Brendan Gleeson Irish gangster double bill of The General (1998) and I Went Down (1997)

Justin Shen

RIFIFI (1955) + LE CERCLE ROUGE (1970) - Two ice-cold French crime movies featuring silent, procedural heist scenes and doomed men

Harrison Rees

Le Samourai (1967) + Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samouri (1999) - Two off-beat, stylised crime thrillers following the lives of urban, for-hire assassin's, both of whom follow a strict code of conduct modeled after the ancient Japanese Samouri of old.

dillards dept.

Croupier (1998) and Hard Eight (1996) Late 90's losers put it all on red to escape the banality of their hallow decade.

Ben Badger

“Walkabout” (1971) + “Picnic at Hanging Rock “ (1975). Two haunting and enigmatic classics set in the Australian outback

Cory N.

The Sword and The Sorcerer (1982) and Conquest (1983) Sleazoids legends Albert Pyun and Lucio Fulci taking on the sword and sandal genre

James Francis

The Beast (1975) and Dr Jekyll & Miss Osbourne (1981) - two insane euro arthouse trash adaptations of classics by Polish Excellence Borowzcyk

Owen

Arthur Penn’s BONNIE AND CLYDE (1967) with Terrence Malick’s BADLANDS (1973). I think the connections sort of speak for themselves haha

MojitoFiendOf76

AUDITION (1999) + FATAL ATTRACTION (1987) - a double feature of twisted love seems appropriate for around Valentine's Day.

Wesley Eddings

Obligatory SURVIVING THE GAME (1994) + RAVENOUS (1999) Hollywood Video 2AM oven-baked jalapeno poppers and roached burn holes on the couch classics

Cade Yeager

Yes, Madam! (1985) and Police Story 3 (1992) Reasons (if not already obvious): 1. To honour the God Yeoh on the anniversary of her big Oscar win. 2. To correct your egregious lack of Cynthia Rothrock coverage. 3. To complete your coverage of the Police Story trilogy. 4. Springboard into a month-long celebration of the girls with guns subgenre. 4(b). This could become an annual feature ("Girls with Gunuary"? "Cynthia Rothrocktober"?)

Matthew Wood

BULLITT (1968) / THE SEVEN-UPS (1973) - Philip D’Antoni’s film legacy is helping to bring us three of the best car chase scenes ever put to film (these two + THE FRENCH CONNECTION). Plus, it’s wild that you guys haven’t covered the King of Cool yet on the pod.

Ed Browne

STRAW DOGS (1971) and DELIVERANCE (1972). Men from the city travel to the countryside and find themselves in a battle for survival against the locals. Both movie depict violence as a rite of manhood.

Alex Walsh

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (1983) + Taboo (Gohatto) (1999). Nagisa Oshima double that contemplates sexuality in masculine environments. (Also both feature Takeshi Kitano)
