PODCAST SHOUTOUT: Hey everyone, Collateral Cinema is starting a new segment at the beginning of every episode that features a shout-out to the many podcasts that have followed & supported our little show over our first season. Our first featured shoutout is the Trial By Error Variety Show Podcast, which focuses on independent music from all genres, hosted by Chazz Raab. Give them a listen wherever you get your podcasts and on Patreon! (@tbevarietyshow)
SHOWNOTES: That's right, fellow movie geeks; Collateral Cinema is back, and we've finally reached the final episode of Season One! On this season finale, Beau, Rob, and Ash decided to go full-on cult movie mode (again! Lol) as we review and analyze the absolutely batshit-insane 1991 martial arts/exploitation classic, Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky, which has the head exploding scene used on the Craig Kilborne-era of Comedy Central's Daily Show! This movie is legendary for its absolutely excessive gore, which soaks the screen (and its actors as well!) with more blood than you can shake a Deadite at, and the martial arts action that causes all the mayhem, as well as the amazingly exaggerated acting and dialogue, makes for a graphic experience that we'll always enjoy with every viewing. So join us, as we send off our first season with tons of gore, and more than a few ham-fisted performances!

Title: Gummo [Wikipedia] [IMDb]
Director: Harmony Korine
Producers: Scott Macaulay, Robin O'Hara, Cary Woods, Nifty da Saurus
Writer: Harmony Korine
Stars: Linda Manz, Max Perlich, Jacob Reynolds, Chloë Sevigny, Jacob Sewell, Nick Sutton
Release date: October 17, 1997
SHOWNOTES: Welcome to our rural American nightmare, Collateral Cinema listeners! That's right, hosts Beau, Robert, and Ash go back to the 90s arthouse, as we explore Harmony Korine's (@harmfulkorine) classically disturbing 1997 debut, Gummo. This film challenged us in many, many ways; with it's unique approach to cinematography, complete lack of a three-arc story structure, use of non-actors for realistic impact, stream of consciousness script writing, and the nightmarish dive into the depravity and emptiness of the American dream. This movie is peircing, haunting, disturbing, and unlike anything else released before or since; join us, as we barely scratch the surface of this twisted American psycho-drama, and take a trip with us into the dark underbelly of the American Zeitgeist.

Title: Freddy Got Fingered [Wikipedia] [IMDb]
Director: Tom Green
Producers: Larry Brezner, Howard Lapides, Lauren Lloyd
Writer: Tom Green, Derek Harvie
Stars: Tom Green, Rip Torn, Marisa Coughlan, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Julie Hagerty
Release date: April 20, 2001
SHOWNOTES: "You hear that, Collateral Cinema fans? They're my hooooves! My hooooooooooooves!!!! Listen as they go clippity-clop, clippity-clop! Hahahahahahahah!"
...Oh yeah, folks; Collateral Cinema is taking on Tom Green's (@tomgreenlive) impressively surreal, yet universally panned 2001 absurdist comedy Freddy Got Fingered! We're wholly convinced this film is far more deserving of actual film analysis than it has received in the past, so hosts Beau, Robert, and Ash dissected and analyzed Tom Green's brazenly original humor, the strangely karma-free universe the movie operates in, each and every memorable bit of writing and acting, and every infinitely quotable scene. We also dive into the heady times that were pre/post-9/11 film culture. We also put forth an argument for Freddy Got Fingered to receive a place in the venerable Criterion Collection, and we dive into the massively negative critical response to this work, and how Freddy Got Fingered achieved a solid cult following and critical renaissance in the past few years. So remember in closing, Collateral Cinema fans:
"I'm the backwards man, the backwards man; I can walk backwards fast as you can! I'm the backwards man, the backwards man..."

Title: Rocky [Wikipedia] [IMDb]
Director: John G. Avildsen
Producers: Irwin Winkler, Robert Chartoff
Writer: Sylvester Stallone
Stars: Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers, Burgess Meredith
Release date: December 3, 1976 (US)
SHOWNOTES: Collateral Cinema is back in action, ya'll! Hosts Robert, Beau, and Ash return to analyze, review, and deconstruct the 1976 iconic boxing/sports epic, Rocky! Sylvester Stallone gave us one of his all-time classic performances for this movie, and we feel this is truly a film that is more pertinent and more necessary in these trying times; we were truly blown away by how well it holds up all these years. We talk about Stallone's overall career, the anime-esque feel to Rocky's character, the autobiographical nature of Stallone's writing, and how Rocky is the quintessential modern American folk hero. Join our discussion, and prepare to be inspired!

Release date: March 19, 1977
SHOWNOTES: Hello to all in the world of movie geekdom! Collateral Cinema is back with a journey into the world of seminal mindfuck director David Lynch's (@DAVID_LYNCH) 1977 powerhouse experimental art film debut, Eraserhead. This is the penultimate midnight movie, and it has mystified moviegoers for more than a few generations; hosts Beau and Rob were fascinated by the staunchly dreamlike atmosphere, claustrophobic sound design, creepy cinematography, harrowing set design, and the many different theories and interpretations cinemaphiles have hurled at this deep, penetrating work. We truly, truly love this flick, and we invite you to come with us on a journey through a dream of dark and terrible things!

Producers: Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Elizabeth Avellán, Erica Steinberg
Writer: Quentin Tarantino
Stars: Kurt Russell, Rosario Dawson, Vanessa Ferlito, Jordan Ladd, Rose McGowan, Sydney Poitier, Tracie Thoms, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Zoë Bell
Release date: April 6, 2007
SHOWNOTES: Welcome back, Collateral Cinema listeners! Today, we celebrate 320 all-time downloads on Podbean by reviewing and analyzing our first Quentin Tarantino flick, his 2007 love letter to the horror/slasher & carsploitation genres of film, Death Proof, and as awesome as it is, it's still considered Tarantino's worst flick ever, even by the man himself. Host Robert Ortegon chose this movie, and host Beau Maddox joins him as they discuss the amazing camerawork and stunt driving, delve into the character development and dynamics between both groups of women, explain the technical aspects of the vehicles used in the movie, tackle Tarantino's idiosyncratic writing style, and try to determine where everything went wrong with the critical/audience reception to the film. Join our discussion in the comments section!

Writer: Tommy Wiseau
Stars: Tommy Wiseau, Juliette Danielle, Greg Sestero, Philip Haldiman, Carolyn Minnott
Release date: June 27, 2003
SHOWNOTES: Oh hai Collateral Cinema fans! We've been anticipating this episode for a while now, and we're totally excited to dive straight into Tommy Wiseau's (@tommywiseau) legendary 2003 so-bad-it's-awesome alleged “drama" film, The Room! Host Beau Maddox introduced this fine film to fellow host Robert Ortegon, and we totally nerded out on the insane writing, paradoxical acting, legendarily awesome quotes/scenes, amazingly stilted characters, random plot holes, outrageous sex scenes, and the man/myth/legend himself, Tommy Wiseau! So join us for a wonderfully nostalgic and hilarious outing with us, as we also look into James Franco's 2017 homage to the production of this glorious film, The Disaster Artist, as well! And never forget: chocolate is totally the symbol of love!!!
(Correction: the actress who plays Lisa is actually named Julliette Danielle, not Julliette Daniels. Also, please excuse the audio on the intro song; we will fix it ASAP!)
