or: Can I Borrow Your Flamethrower?


To celebrate the launch of our new limited series, The Carpenter Shop, we’re re-broadcasting our special Halloween 2016 review of John Carpenter’s The Thing. Do The Dudes see the humanity in this film, or is it as cold and alien as a creepy crawly head-spider? Grab a flamethrower and handful of dynamite, because there’s a 75% chance at least one of us has been infected by the intruder organism!

Join Jacob and Chris as they discuss their most anticipated film of the year: La La Land. Does the Emma Stone/Ryan Gosling musical hit all the right steps, or is it just be a waste of a lovely night? What’s the secret weapon Ryan Gosling and John Cena have in common? Does the Baby Goose have the chops for dancing, or is he just a chicken on a stick? And what overlooked animated classic does Jacob consider to be the greatest musical of all time? Discover the answer to all these questions and more in our review of La La Land!  PLUS – Chris pairs the fleet-footed musical with an impeccable imperial stout and The Dudes dispatch some really rad recommendations!
