Season 5: Ep 7 – Mouth of Madness Vs Lost Highway (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What is reality? Who are we? What are we doing here? Questions that will be answered by the films in this weeks show. Or maybe not! That’s the brilliance of these two ‘out there’ films that will be dueling each other this week. From 1995 we have John Carpenter and his Lovecraftian experiment ‘In the Mouth of Madness.’ This goes up against the master himself David Lynch and his seemingly impenetrable treatise on identity that is Lost Highway. Two films that have their own brand unto themselves. D
Season 5: Ep 6 – Outbreak Vs Breakdown (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s break week! We’re not taking a break down, just dealing with a few different versions of the word. From 1995 we have Outbreak, a story about a race against time as a group of scientists and military personnel try to contain a virus. In 1997 we got the thriller Breakdown where Kurt Russell is racing against time and some dastardly villains who have kidnapped his wife. Both movies are pinnacles of the thriller genre from this period and have great performances to boot. Which one is more thril

Read excerpt
Holy Schnikies! Comedy Week has arrived! From 1995 we have the classic SNL alumni-led ‘Tommy Boy’ starring Chris Farley and David Spade.

Season 5: Ep 4 – Jackie Brown Vs Get Shorty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s crime week! Here we have two of the best crime movies of the decade, and perhaps all-time. From 1995 we have Get Shorty, the John Travolta and Rene Russo led comedy based on an Elmore Leonard novel goes up against, you guessed it, Jackie Brown, the 1997 caper film directed by Quiten Tarantino that is also based on an Elmore Leonard novel. This Elmore Leonard guy might have been on to something! Does the crisp dialogue and pacing of Tarantino’s work take the day or does the whip smart timing
Season 5: Ep 3 – Crimson Tide Vs Con-Air (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week was a bit more subtle in the goings-on of political happenings but we’re ‘back in action’ in the most literal sense this week with two of the biggest action films from the decade in Crimson Dawn (1995) up against Con Air (1997). These two films were in the middle of the Bruckhemier emergence and are fondly remembered by many of a certain generation. But which one was better? The philosophical action of Crimson Dawn or the absurdity of Con Air? Listen and find out! Email us! duelofthegr
