Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 299 - Hungry (2026)
Q: Was Hungry always envisioned as a survival drama or did the title influence the direction?
Tony explains the title is a marketing angle that Hungry still works with, but the director aimed for a survival-focused tone rather than exploitation.
Episode 299 - Hungry (2026)
Q: Tony, how did Hungry compare to James Nunn's previous work like Sharkbait in terms of character work and tone?
Tony notes Hungry improves on Sharkbait by making the cast more likable and giving them meaningful arcs, which heightens emotional impact when they are threatened.
Episode 298 - Sssssss (1973)
Q: What stands out most to you about the makeup and the carnivalesque set pieces?
The practical makeup work is standout, with long sessions and effective transforms that still read well on screen, particularly the early, mid, and final snake‑transformation sequences.
Episode 298 - Sssssss (1973)
Q: So what we are talking about is Snake. So I guess I really like this film. Where does it sit for you in terms of your ranking?
It's very entertaining and sits high among Strother Martin films, making the best entertainment value among his appearances, even if the big studio prestige titles are more renowned.
Episode 289 - Rango (2011)
Q: How does Rango compare to Verbinski's Pirates era in terms of directorial voice?
Rango shows Verbinski applying a similar taste for misfit protagonists and over-the-top visual storytelling, but in an animation context that allows for more fantastical risk-taking.
