Bonafide Tastemakers

The Tastemakers rollout their new revamped format as they discuss Brett Morgen and Nanette Burstein's 2002 documentary on legendary Hollywood Robert Evans. Stick around and you might just learn a thing or two about Old Crow Medicine Show... Follow the show at @bonafidetastemakers on Instagram! Danny - @mcgillforreal Grant - @dumbinsidejoke

A tad late to the upload, but we finally address all the rumors of our demise, and make plans for the show going forward. Follow the show at @bonafidetastemakers on Instagram! Danny - @mcgillforreal Grant - @dumbinsidejoke

Returning heavyweight titans of film commentary podcast guests, Sage and Stuart (and also off to the side, Spencer), are here to discuss German, sexy, grungy, pseudo-sci-fi experimental hyperlink thriller film Run Lola Run. We drink wine. We have fun. Somebody explains astrology. It's a romp. Also, there's some audio glitching on this one. Sorry, couldn't fix it.Check out @birdsofuno on instagram for some great bird photos.Listen to Stuart featured on his friend drrtgrrl's new album: https://drrtgrrl.bandcamp.com/album/the-grip-of-non-existence

It's a (time-capsuled) All-Guest August episode with fellow Louisiana-centric film podcast cohorts, Brandon and Britnee of Swampflix, as they bring to our attention the gimmick laden work of William Castle, and this film, which is his response to Psycho.You can check out Swampflix's podcast and their film reviews at swampflix.com (with Brandon's fun art). If you want to know more about Puccino's, check out lovepuccinos.com/gambling, where you can learn about the casino games available inside, and how Puccino's "don't care if you play poker naked". This is not a paid advertisement for Puccino's or gambling, I just think it's funny.

After years of promising, Jay Wade Edwards has finally come on the show, and with a double feature at that! Flipside (2024), and Bathtubs Over Broadway (2018), two films that are ostensibly about record collecting, but reveal themselves to be about much more.You can follow Jay's baseball substack here, where just the other day he wrote about more baseball music: https://tinkertaylorsolerspiezio.substack.com/

Editors note: I did finish Hard 8 in July, and would have been able to discuss it were we recording on the correct schedule. I gave it a 3.5/5 on Letterboxd.Also, I am on a road trip which is why editing this took so long.

Grant and Danny are joined by video essayist and film industry writer (like, having written about film in articles and stuff, not screenwriter? Idk what the correct terminology is), Max Marriner, so the three of them can discuss the life of Brian Wilson, through the 2015 Co-lead Biopic Love and Mercy.You can find Max on his YouTube channel where he's making video essays about films and video games! https://www.youtube.com/c/MaxMarriner/videos

It's Neo-Noir time: the 1985 film Trouble in Mind takes us to Rain City, where we disagree on whether or not joining the Army is a good choice, and try to rank a few film diners.

We're behind, but don't worry, we still mention Hideo Kojima, and we're here to talk about Tim Robinson's start turn in Friendship.

Longtime behind-the-scenes friend of the show, and one time Law Ready For This musical guest Brindan Eisler comes on the show, and brings along Barbarian, as he and Grant attempt to shake Danny of his anti-horror movie biases. Also, boy does everyone hate Ari Aster.Follow Brindan on Instagram @clownbaby.fart_

Interweaving stories about organized crime in Southern Italy becomes a messy hour long conversation about whether or not Grant should be allowed to do his segment (spoiler: the answer is no). Also, Grant pitches the best TV show idea ever (pls no stealing).

Two Louisiana bums discuss a movie about three Louisiana bums: the latter taking place in a jail, the first two caught in the prison of modern day content creation in late capitalism. Oh, also there was no nutria in this movie and that's messed up.

For the first time ever, Danny watched more movies than Grant. Watch as they butt heads on Nic Cage's filmography, the completely subject quality of horror films, and whether or not Metal Gear Solid is better than a movie.

Grant and Danny invite Film and TV editor Lynn Hong on the show to talk about Heat, the story of two men discovering someone else who shares their unique brand of masculinity. Oh, also a heist.

Danny subjects Grant to what is likely to be his most hated movie on the show, despite it being a verifiable cinema classic. Also, Grant shares is first ever Long Haul.

December, 2021. 4 unemployed men met over the holiday season to reboot a podcast... that nobody watched the first time around.The sound quality is bad. I didn't even listen to the whole thing to edit it so who knows what we said or did. I'll probably listen in a week or so. We need Holly back to mix this shit.

We spent our Fat Tuesday in the attic of one Glambert Grudio, for longtime listeners. While there, we talked over our movies of 2025's first quarter, and also did a little March/Munch Madness. S/o Stein's Deli for the bracket.

Space Pod alum Solomon is back to discuss cult sex comedy Zapped! There's also a decent amount of book and soda talk up top.

After an unnecessarily long hiatus, we're back to talk about the flawed and failed start vehicle for Hayden Christensen, "Jumper", about a guy who can kinda like... teleport? But they call it jumping. It's really important that you get the terminology right.

A killer on the loose? Edgar Allen Poe, famed writer and newly minted freestyle hip-hop artist, joins us to discuss the story of how he really tracked him down. Also, a final message from a special guest.
