Our second film is another independent production, but one that reaffirms the idea that you can make a great film without a major studio behind you or a huge budget! Written and directed by, and starring, Jon Favreau, 2014's "Chef" tells the story of famous chef Carl Casper (Favreau), who heads up the kitchen in a restaurant run by the unadventerous Riva (Dustin Hoffman), who resists Carl's attempts to bring new items to the menu. After being talked out of a special menu for visiting food critic Ramsey Michel (Oliver Platt), Carl, and his assistants Tony (Bobby Cannavale) and Martin (John Leguizamo) capitulate to Riva's demands and cook up the standard menu, which is then completely panned by Michel. After issuing a challenge for Michel to return for a different menu, Carl ends up quitting when Riva won't allow him to fulfill his promise. Carl then travels to Miami with is son Percy (Emjay Anthony) and ex-sife Inez (Sofia Vergara). There, after eating some truly inspiring Cuban food, Inez convinces him to meet up with her other ex-husband, Marvin (Robert Downey Jr.), who sets Carl up with a food truck. After Margin flies down to join him, Carl, Martin, adn Percy renovate the truck and set off back to L.A., with a side-trip to New Orleans at Percy's request. Along the way, Carl and Percy bond in a way new to both of them while Carl teaches Percy everything he knows about loving and preparing great food. As they finally head back to L.A., things are changing for both Carl and Percy, but what happens when they arrive is a surprise to all involved! Also starring Scarlett Johannson and Amy Sedaris! Plus, the trio unveil their pick for a film pairing reaturing actors who, while famous for a certain type of role, stepped outside their comfort zone to give a radically different performance!

1:00:52Our second film was the first stop-action animated film to ever win the "Best Animated Film" Oscar, and introduced American audiences to a franchise much beloved in the United Kingdom! Directed by Steve Box and Nick Park, and written by that duo and Mark Burton, 2005's "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" tells the story of absent-minded inventor Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and his dog Gromit (who doesn't ever speak), proprietors of Anti-Pesto, a company dedicated to protecting vegetable crops from hungry bunnies! They've been very successful, thanks to Wallace's inventions, but when Lady Campanula Tottington (voiced by Helena Bonham Carter) calls on the pair, it's time to up their game! At the same time, we also meet Lady Tottington's unwanted suitor, Victor Quartermain (voiced by Ralph Fiennes), whose solution is much more violent, and permanent, than she's comfortable with. Wallace hits on an idea to use his latest invention, the Mind Manipulation-O-Matic, to reprogram the bunnies to avoid eating the town's vegetables. Unfortunately, the experiment goes a bit wrong and, shortly thereafter, a giant Were-Rabbit is terrorizing gardens all through the community! It's up to Wallace and Gromit to solve the problem, save the day, and keep Lord Quartermain from marrying Lady Tottington! But even that task isn't as simple as our duo might hope, as the Were-Rabbit turns out to be especially problematic in several ways! Plus, the guys reveal which two films, from what Jeff describes as "the best horror franchise of the 21st century," will make up the next pairing!…
We begin a two-week look at stop-action animation with a film that was shown every day, somewhere in the world, for 28 straight years! Directed by Ivo Caprino, 1975's "The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix" became the most successful animated film to come out of Norway! Hi atop a hillside next to the village of Pinchcliff, bicycle repairman Theodore Rimspoke (voiced by Frank Robert) with his two helpers, Lambert (voiced by Toralv Maurstad) and Sonny Duckworth (voiced by Kari Simonsen). While watching TV one evening, the trio see a news report about Rudolph Gore-Slimey (voiced by Helge Reiss), a former apprentice of Grimspoke's, who has built a racing car using plans stolen from Grimspoke's workshop, and is challenging anyone to try and beat him on the track! Lamenting his poverty, Grimspoke return to work, but Sonny spies a vacationing Sheikh and decides to try to get Grimspoke a sponsor. After a few mishaps, Sheikh Abdul Ben Bonanza (voiced by Rolf Just Nilsen) agrees to finance Grimspoke's wondrous invention, a car known as the "Il Tempo Gigante!" Eventually, the race is on, but can Grimspoke and his crew overcome the nasty tricks and traps inflicted upon them by Gore-Slimey?…
The second film in our Christmas pairing moves ahead almost 50 years! Written and directed by Nora Ephron, 1994's "Mixed Nuts" is the story of Phillip (Steve Martin) who runs a crisis hotline with jaded matron Mrs. Munchnik (Madeline Kahn) and sweet, overly-empathic introvert Catherine (Rita Wilson). On Christmas Eve, things go from bad to worse - the calls are stranger, the helpline is about to be evicted from their office, and the Seaside Strangler is still running around killing young women! Add to the chaos a beautiful trans woman named Chris (Liev Schreiber in his first cinematic role) and a chaotic couple, unemployed layabout Felix (Anthony LaPaglia) and his pregnant girlfriend Gracie (Juliette Lewis), Phillip's veterinarian Dr. Kinsky (Rob Reiner) and Louie (Adam Sandler), a lovesick crooner, and things spiral out of control firmly and quickly. How will it all end, and will anyone catch the Seaside Strangler? Also starring Garry Shandling, Steven Wright, and featuring cameos from Parker Posey and Jon Stewart! Plus, the trio reveal what two stop-action animated films will make up their first pairing of 2025!…

1:05:39Just in time for the winter holidays, it's our Christmas pairing! Starting out, we travel back to 1945, right at the end of World War II, for a tale of mistaken (sometimes deliberately) identity and a rollicking screwball comedy set in the country during the holidays! Directed by Peter Godfrey, "Christmas in Connecticut" was a present to all the moviegoers of the time, weary of war pictures and serious topics, who were ready for something just... silly. Elizabeth Lane (Barbara Stanwyck) is a home and hearth magazine writer who comforts people across the country every week with stories from her farm in Connecticut with her husband, baby, and animals. Plus, the recipes she includes have turned her into a household name! There's only one problem: She's single, lives in an apartment in New York, and can't cook at all! But when publisher Alexander Yardley (Sydney Greenstreet, in a rare comedic role) invites a lonely GI, Jefferson Jones (Dennis Morgan) to spend a down-home family christmas with renowned homemaker Elizabeth Lane, things go sideways really quickly! Elizabeth turns to her friend and restaurant chef Felix Bassenak (S.Z. "Cuddles" Sakall), who agrees to help, and the race is on to the farm of the man she is enthusiastically engaged to, architect John Sloan (Reginald Gardiner). But, as if things weren't complicated enough, when Elizabeth and Jefferson meet, sparks fly, and it's anybody's guess how it'll all turn out! Also starring Robert Shayne, Una O'Connor, Frank Jenks, Joyce Compton, and Dick Elliott!…
25 years after the original film came out, Paul Newman returned to start as Eddie "Fast Eddie" Felson once more in director Martin Scorsese's 1986 film "The Color of Money!" This time, Newman's "Fast Eddie" is 25 years older, supposedly wiser, and working as a liquor salesman. He's involved, seemingly seriously, with the bartender of an establishment named Janelle (Helen Shaver), and occasionally partners with nine-ball players like Julian (John Turtorro). When he meets Vincent (Tom Cruise) however, he sees in the young man a protege worthy of his attentions. Along with Vincent's girlfriend Carmen (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), they embark on a six-week hustling tutorial, with their ultimate goal a pool tournament in Atlantic City. Along the way, Eddie must confront some of the realities of a world that has changed in 25 years, as well as admitting that he is no longer the same as he was that long ago. Also starring Bill Cobbs, a cameo by rocker Iggy Pop, and the film debut of Forest Whitaker! Plus, the trio unveil their Christmas pairing for 2024!…
For this pairing of a film and its sequel, 25 year went by between the two films! It's to the world of the pool hall shark and con artists in general we go, starting with 1961's "The Hustler." Directed by Robert Rossen, the film follows the tale of Eddie "Fast Eddie" Felson (Paul Newman), an up-and-coming pool hustler. Felson feels he's ready for the big time and challenges reigning master pool shark Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason). After losing to Fats, more because of character than talent, Felson meets Sarah Packard (Piper Laurie) in a bus station diner. After running into her again later on, the two end up together. Fats' partner, Bert Gordon (George C. Scott) shows up and invites Eddie to become his partner too. After turning him down, Eddie is attacked and made unable to play pool for some time. When he recovers, he agrees to Bert's proposition and goes on the road with Sarah in tow. Unfortunately, things go badly on the road, and a tragedy occurs, but it completes Eddie's growth of character enough that he can once again challenge Fats. Also starring Myron McCormick, Murray Hamilton, Stefan Gierasch, and boxing legend Jake LaMotta!…
Film number two in our look at Neo-Noir films comes from 2006. Director Allen Coulter and writer Paul Bernbaum tackle the story of what, exactly, happened to actor George Reeves (Ben Affleck), star of the first television series featuring Superman. The film starts just after Reeves' death, as private detective Louis Simo (Adrian Brody) investigates what, at first, appears to be a suicide. Hired by Reeves' mother Helen Bessolo (Lois Smith), he begins to uncover the life of the actor, and the various directions his career had taken. Reeves was involved with Toni Mannix (Diane Lane), wife of MGM studio head Eddie Mannix (Bob Hoskins). Eddie has a mistress, so it's ok with him for Toni to have a lover we well. But after Superman is cancelled, George and Toni separate and Reeves takes up with a younger woman, Leonore Lemmon (Robin Tunney) who his mother doesn't approve of at all. As Simo gets closer and closer to figuring out if it was suicide or murder, his own life begins to come apart. It doesn't stop him from trying his best to solve the case, however. Plus, the trio unveil which film, and its twenty-five-years-later sequel, will make up the next pairing!…
Neo-Noir films make up this pairing, both films having been suggested by a friend of Chad's. First up, to Tinseltown we turn, and the sprawl of humanity that exists around in in director Curtis Hanson's 1997 film "L.A. Confidential." The film follows three LA police detectives: Jack Vincennes (Kevin Spacey), Bud White (Russell Crowe), and Ex Exley (Guy Pearce). Vincennes works with a yellow journalist, Sid Hudgens (Danny DeVito) exposing drug-related busts for the publicity, while Jack works as a technical consultant to a popular TV show, "Badge of Honor." White has used his badge as a means to pursue any and all men who abuse women and he deals with them in some rather illegal ways. Exley is a young cop with political ambitions who doesn't care who else on the police force is upset by the way he plays the game. All three find themselves dealing with an organized crime vacuum after a powerful local mobster is taken off the board. It's a twisting tale of assumptions, manipulation, backstabbing, and exactly how far over the line each of our detectives is willing to go in order to solve the case and seek their own personal goals! Also starring Kim Basinger, James Cromwell, David Strathairn, and Ron Rifkin.…
Moving into the 21st century from our last film, we also move across the Atlantic to the country of Norway for our second film. Directed by Tommy Wirkola and written by Wirkola and Stig Frode Henriksen, 2009's "Dead Snow" combines zombie lore with that of the ancient Norse myth of the draug (undead who spend their afterlife protecting their treasure, usually ill-gotten). A group of medical students head to a remote cabin for a weekend away from their studies. Owned by their friend Sara (Ane Dahl Torp), Erlend (Jeppe Beck Laursen), Hanna (Charlotte Frogner), Chris (Jenny Skavian), Martin (Geir Vegar Hoel), Roy (Stig Frode Henriksen) and Vegard (Lasse Valdal) get as close they can by car, then snowmobile or hike 45 minutes to the cabin. That night, a mysterious hiker appears at their door and tells them the story of a group of German Nazis who, back in WWII, subjugated and abused a nearby town, stealing all their valuables. Supposedly, the Nazis were especially fierce in their desire to keep their plundered gold. The next day, Vegard goes off in search of Sara (who has yet to turn up), while the rest at the cabin find a box with gold and jewelry beneath the cabin. This discover, however, triggers an attack by the Nazis, now undead, who still believe the treasure is theirs and are willing to eat anyone trying to take it! A truly unique dark comedy that includes some knowledge of horror tropes on the part of the characters, making for some rather stunning scenes! Plus, Chad reveals which two films, suggested by a listener and friend of his, will make up the next pairing!…
Halloween may be over, but the horror fun just keeps on a-comin'! This pairing is dedicated to another sub-genre of horror, that of horror comedy (or horror parody). First up, it's the original slasher parody that people who saw it in the 80s remember so fondly and everyone else has no idea about! Written and directed by Michael Ritchie (under the pseudonym Mickey Rose), 1981's "Student Bodies" was a direct response to all of the horror films that came before it (and the small fortune they all earned at the box office)! It's just another school day at Lamab High School, except that someone has killed two of its students just as they were about to have sex. The audience knows it's the madman known as "The Breather," but the rest of the students are oblivious, as are most of the faculty. Only virginal Toby (Kristen Riter) has the formula figured out - that sex kills! Unfortunately, that also lands her as suspect #1 in the killings! A truly unique film that skewers all of the traditions and tropes of 70s horror by pointing out the flaws in logic usually demonstrated by those in such situations! Also starring Matt Goldsby, Jerry Belson, Joe Flood, Joe Talarowski, Mimi Weddell, and Patrick "The Stick" Boone Varnell.…
Our second folk horror film comes from right at the edge of our timeline, but is a perfect example of the resurgence of Folk Horror seen in the U.S. and the UK in the last decade! Written and directed by Robert Eggers, 2015's "The Witch" follows a 17th century family exiled from their community for practicing a form of Christianity the rest of the town disapproved of. William (Ralph Ineson), the father, and Katherine (Kate Dickie), the mother, leave with their children, eldest daughter Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy), eldest son Caleb (Harvey Scrimshaw), the twins Joseph (Lucas Dawson) and Mercy (Ellie Grainger), and infant son Samuel (Axtun Henry and Athan Conrad Dube) for a life alone in the woods. Struggling to raise enough food for the winter, the family has also a few chickens and a few goats, including a large black billygoat named Black Phillip. They believe a witch lives in the woods nearby, and the children are therefore forbidden to enter. After Samuel is taken, supposedly by wolves, the family's fortunes start to sink, and the members of the family begin to turn on one-another, as witchcraft becomes the primary reason blamed for all that befalls them. Ultimately, Christianity cannot stop the forces that are conspiring against the family, and they must confront the reality of their situation, even when that reality contradicts their strongly-held beliefs! Plus, the trio reveal which two horror comedies will make up the next pairing!…
Happy Halloween! It's that time of year where horror films are 'in vogue' and we here at Two Geeks and a G.I.T. will not disappoint! This year, our pairing focuses on a type of film only relatively recently recognized by film scholars, that of Folk Horror. Our horror sage explains what that moniker means, and then it's on to one of the first films of its type! Directed by Robin Hardy, 1973's "The Wicker Man" follows English policeman Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) as he travels to the small Scottish island of Summerisle to search for a missing girl. Almost immediately he's met with indifference, and finds himself a lone Christian in an otherwise un-Christian community. The town's blatant sexuality and pre-Christian ways disconcerts him, including the advances made by the Innkeeper's daughter, Willow (Britt Ekland). When Sergeant Howie finally gets to meet with the leader of the community, Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), he must confront the fact that this community's lifestyle offends him greatly, and hinders his investigation. Ultimately, Howie believes the young girl to have been murdered, but as May Day looms closer and closer, he discovers that her murder may have been more than just a killing, and may mean something completely un-Christian to the people of the island! Also starring Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, and Lidsay Kemp.…
The second film in our pairing honoring the late, great James Earl Jones, is also a sports film, but this time it's about baseball, and a scandal that happened just a few years after the Jack Johnson saga! Adapted and directed by Phil Alden Robinson 1989's "Field of Dreams" tells the story of Ray (Kevin Costner) and Annie (Amy Madigan) Kinsella, former hippies who have decided to spend their lives farming corn in Iowa. With their daughter Karin (Abby Hoffmann), they're making ends meet, at least until Ray hears a voice one night from the cornfield which says "If you build it, he will come." This sets Ray on a long, weird path which includes clearing two acres of cornfield to build a regulation baseball diamond. Everyone thinks he's crazy, and he himself has his doubts, until the spectre of "Shoeless" Joe Jackson appears on the diamond to play baseball again. Slowly the spectres of the 8 Black Sox, who were banned from baseball for a gambling scandal back in the late 19-teens, all reappear, to resume the game they loved. From there, Ray has to find a reclusive writer (James Earl Jones) and a baseball player who only ever had one inning in the major leagues (Burt Lancaster, in his final film performance), while still trying to figure out how to keep his brother-in-law, Mark (Timothy Busfield) from seizing his farm. And all the while, only Ray, Annie, and Karin can actually see any of the returned players. A feel-good film from the late 80s that still holds its power to charm and mystify to this day! Plus, Jeff reveals what new sub-genre of horror, and which two films from it, will make up 2024's Halloween pairing!…
We're honoring the late, great, James Earl Jones in this pairing. We've done a number of his films already, but we've chosen two that were important in his career. First up, the role that, on Broadway, won him a Tony, and got him his only Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Directed by Martin Ritt, 1970's "The Great White Hope" chronicles the rise and fall of African-American boxer Jack Jefferson (James Earl Jones) as he becomes the first non-white man to ever hold the heavyweight boxing title back in the early 20th century. Based on the real-life exploits of boxer Jack Johnson, the film follows its title character as he revels in his success with his white girlfriend, Eleanor (Jane Alexander, who also played the roled opposite Jones on Broadway and who also won a Tony for her portrayal). After running afoul of anti-misegynation laws, the couple, along with manager Goldie (Lou Gilbert) and sideman Tick (Joel Fluellen) flee overseas. Unfortunately, even across the Atlantic, the quartet still can't escape the stigma of racism and, eventually, Jack must return to America, take a terrible deal, and settle the issue of his championship once and for all. Also starring Chester Morris, Robert Webber, R. G. Armstrong, and Hal Holbrook.…
The second film in the pairing of Australian comedies suggested by Patreon supporter and friend Julian Dunmurphy, sees the directorial and writing crew of "The Castle" reunited to tell the story of how the little town of Parkes, Australia became the reason around 650 million people worldwide were able to watch the historic Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969! In 2000's "The Dish," we follow Dr. Cliff Buxton (Sam Neill), head of the Parkes Radio Telescope, as he prepares to work with NASA on the Apollo 11 mission. Assisting him are Russ Mitchell (Kevin Harrington) and Glenn Latham (Tom Long). The arrival of NASA representative Al Burnett (Patrick Warburton) causes some dissention in the ranks, but they're able to get things running smoothly, especially once they're informed that, apart from NASA's dish in California, they will be the only other dish on the planet to be used to keep in contact with Apollo 11! Things are going well until a chance power-outage causes them to lose not only their carefully-programmed computers, but Apollo 11 itself! How they handle such an enormous setback is the rest of the film. While all of this is going on, however, the town is reeling from being in the spotlight and trying to figure out how to handle all the VIP dignitaries that arrive because of Parkes' participation in the mission! And the gents reveal which two films they'll be reviewing to pay tribute to the late, great James Earl Jones!…
