Show Notes
Back on the case for the second half. Luke, Matt, and Westy continue the story of John Huston's genre-defining noir, turning to the people who made it crackle and the ending that seals its place in history. We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay, the score, and the cinematography — before breaking down the climax, the reception, and the enormous influence the film had on film noir. Plus the ensemble cast that made every scene crackle, and the hosts' final verdict and scores. If you've not heard Part 1 — the beginning, the director, the cast, and the middle — go back and start there.

A working flame-throwing guitar, strapped to a wall of speakers, bolted to the front of a truck. Somehow that barely makes the top five strangest things about it. John, Westy and Luke pick the story back up. Part 2 turns to the crew who built the chaos, including editor Margaret Sixel and her Oscar-winning cut, before the finale, the reception, the six Academy Awards, the sequels and the legacy. Then the hosts hand down their final verdict and scores. Not heard Part 1 yet? That's where George Miller, the cast and the first half of the run live. Worth going back for.

Fifteen years in the making, one long sprint across the desert, and barely a line of dialogue to slow it down. John, Westy and Luke begin the story of the action film that came back from the dead. Part 1 takes in the opening, George Miller's return to the wasteland, a cast led by Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, and the middle stretch that never lifts off the accelerator. Plus why the Namibian desert nearly ruined everything by refusing to stay a desert. The War Rig isn't home yet. Part 2 has the crew, the finale, the awards and the legacy. Out now.

Four members of Queen writing a song each, a finale that nearly had a dragon in it, and a box office run only home video could save. Luke, Westy and John pick the story back up. Part 2 turns to the screenplay, the music of Queen and Michael Kamen and Gerry Fisher’s camerawork, then holy ground, the Silvercup showdown, the reception, the sequels (yes, even that one) and the hosts’ final verdict and scores.
A Frenchman playing a Scot, a Scot playing an Egyptian who swears he’s Spanish, and a seven-foot maniac with a broadsword. Luke, Westy and John begin the story of Russell Mulcahy’s Highlander, Westy’s lifelong obsession. Part 1 takes in the wrestling opener, the battle in the Highlands, Mulcahy’s music-video swagger and a cast led by Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery and Clancy Brown, right through to the castle assault and that 1783 brandy.
