Horror of Dracula (1958)

It’s time to set spooky season off right because it’s HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST and we’re dropping a variety of horror flicks on your nuts FIVE DAYS A WEEK. Yes, every weekday in October there will be a horror film discussion with weekly sub themes and for our Monday vintage selections we’re delving into some HAMMER HORROR vampiric fare! Today we’re discussing Christopher Lee’s debut as a rather seductive DRACULA in 1958’s “Horror of Dracula” directed by Terence Fisher (Or just “Dracula” in England) starring Lee, Peter Cushing as Van Helsing as well as Michael Gough & Melissa Stribling among others. Hammer’s take on the character that was made iconic in the Universal Film starring Bela Lugosi is much bloodier and more sultry than the stateside version. An all-time Dracula portrayal that put Lee and Cushing on the map. A fine way to start off the spooky season!

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986)

We end this month’s theme of ASSHOLES ON FILM with someone who might be the biggest asshole in all of film. We think he beats Jordan Belfort, Indiana Jones, Jar Jar Binks and every other asshole we’ve discussed this month. It’s time to break the John Hughes seal and dive right into a real piece of work by discussing his 1986 hit “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” starring Matthew Broderick, Mia Sara, Alan Ruck, Jennifer Grey and that guy who is now on a sex offenders registry. This might seem like a fun teen comedy romp about a ne’er do well kid skipping school, and it is also that, but the implications and raw potential of the Ferris Bueller personality to do major damage to society in the future? The implications are horrifying. Dive in with us as we discuss this 80s classic as well as what we mean when we say that FERRIS BUELLER IS ONE OF THE MAJOR FILM ASSHOLES! It’s been a fun month with some bangers. Thanks for looking at assholes with us.

There Will Be Blood (2007)

There are so many movies you can pick when your theme is ASSHOLES ON FILM. There simply isn’t enough days in a month to fill with all the great assholes in cinema. But one character certainly springs to mind when you’re thinking up movies for such a subject and that’s one of our favorite assholes, Daniel Plainview. In the last week of our theme we’re pulling out some heavy hitters and there’s few films better for that discussion than Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood” from 2007 starring that man Daniel Day-Lewis and an oil man who despises most people, except for a few, and even then they could still end up dead or shunned. Grab yourself a milkshake and let us play you off into a discussion on one of the greatest assholes on film.

The Searchers (1956)

We’re in our last week for our month’s theme of ASSHOLES ON FILM and we had to hit up a flick with our Asshole Theme Mascot, John Wayne. Why not hit up one of the most beloved John Ford/John Wayne westerns ever. Yep, we’re talking about the 1956 classic “The Searchers” starring John Wayne, Jeffrey Hunter, Vera Miles and a young Natalie Wood. The character of Ethan Edwards is quite the racist so you know John Wayne didn’t have to “act” too hard. His racism doesn’t ebb when a particular Comanche tribe kills his family and abducts his nieces. He doesn’t even like the guy who is helping him look for his family throughout the movie because he’s 1/8th Cherokee. He’s a cunt and he will probably kill his niece when he finds her because she’s probably too integrated within the tribe. Also this is Charlie McCorrey’s movie and we’re all just along for the ride. Lauren not immediately jumping on Charlie’s crotch is probably the most baffling thing about this movie. We also have all the hot goss on Nancy “Backlot Special” Reagan. We also name every Little Debbie snack cake. It’s very exciting. Happy Asshole month!

Nightcrawler (2014)

The central assholes featured in our month’s theme of ASSHOLES ON FILM keep getting riper and riper. They’re gaping more and more. It’s been a minute since we’ve seen a movie that makes our skin crawl but Jake Gyllenhaal’s performance and a sociopathic stringer in Dan Gilroy’s 2014 Neo-Noir “Nightcrawler” was truly grimy. In the ultra cynical world of news and entertainment media you don’t have to be a good person, or even have any sense of humanity, to thrive in the bloody environment of fear-mongering violence. I think this movie gave me heartburn. They did my dude, Riz, so dirty. Fuck you, Lou. To hell with you AND Elon Musk.

Good Time (2017)

Assholes can fuck everything up and they can also genuinely love their brother. Today’s entry in month’s theme of ASSHOLES ON FILM is the hectic crime drama “Good Time” by Josh & Benny Safdie and stars Robert Pattinson, Benny Safdie & Jennifer Jason Leigh. That security guard will never be right again. They poured so much liquid acid into that guy’s mouth, dude. That’s insane. I’d try it. I’m trying to sell my dad’s motorcycle if you know anybody that would be interested. It’s the kind with the handle bars up really high. We can meet up at the K-Mart on Long Hollow. You can look at it. You can test drive it while I ride the back. My arms around you, of course.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)

We’re finishing up our viewing of Sergio Leone’s Man With No Name/Dollars Trilogy for our month’s theme of ASSHOLES ON FILM and we’ve already established that Clint Eastwood’s character of The Man With No Name is a little over the middle of the asshole scale. Bounty hunting and senseless egg yolk breaking make him a contender but probably the least assholey of all the assholes featured in our selections. But this movie is more than just a “Clint Eastwood” movie. This movie is pretty much stolen by Eli Wallach’s depiction of Tuco Pacifico and Tuco is the asshole we’re concentrating on for the 1966 Sergio Leone classic “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”. Fantastic characters and Incredible moments that are a little bit cluttered amongst the backdrop of the U.S. Civil War which has, perhaps, moved vaguely more west than we might have originally known. It was fun as hell watching the Sergio Leone movies that redefined westerns. Hear us discuss his final, and most prolific, of the trilogy.

Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)

For this month’s theme of ASSHOLES ON FILM it’s important that we touch base on assholery amongst artistry. We’re discussing the show’s very first Coen Brother’s film that we recently caught up with for the first time. We’re talking the Coen’s 2013 film “Inside Llewyn Davis” starring Oscar Isaac in a breakout role as a struggling folk musician in the early sixties on the cusp of the Dylan explosion. He’s gonna lose your cat, he may or may not knock you up and his assholery is in good company amongst the industry he struggles to break out in. Emotionally unresolved issue don’t help either. Greenwich Village is looking strange and sad.

The Sword of Doom (1966)

This month is ASSHOLES ON FILM for our theme and we’re keeping it vintage this midweek as we explore a Samurai classic that was actually considered a big flop and all production of a follow up ceased after it’s release. Perhaps the Japanese film goers at the time didn’t appreciate Kihachi Okamoto’s interpretation of a popular serialized story but the tale of the stone cold killer, Ryonusuke, stood the test of time as one of the Samurai genre’s most compelling features. We’re talking the 1966 classic “THE SWORD OF DOOM” starring Tatsuya Nakadai, Michiyo Aratama & Toshiro Mifune. Don’t expect much honor in this tale but you might find it to be an intoxicating study in evil.

For A Few Dollars More (1965)

Our vintage selections for our ASSHOLES ON FILM theme this month involve Sergio Leone’s MAN WITH NO NAME Trilogy and this follow up to the breakout hit maybe has our lowest grade asshole this month but Clint did break that telegraph operators egg yolk and you just don’t do that. We’re talkin’ the 1965 spaghetti western “For a Few Dollars More” starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Clef, Gian Maria Volonte and motherfucking Klaus Kinski. The budget is doubled, the music gets a little more orchestral and the pockets of The Man With No Name swell even more. After a bunch of dude’s die of course.
