Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) vs The Transporter (2002)

It's a battle of the "Chase Scenes" as two action packed films go head to head for a spot on the Greatest Films of the 21st Century List. "Gone in 60 Seconds" was a big hit upon its release in 2000 but has since faded into relative obscurity. The final chase packs a punch but does the rest of the film hold up? We answer that question and more. "The Transporter" on the other hand has gone on to spawn several sequels even more successful than the original. We had a great time watching this one as it lead to some unexpected laughs and forgotten thrills. It was a really enjoyable recording and we think you will have a good time as well. So strap in, remember the rules, and be sure to give "Low Rider" a good listen before tuning in. Rate, Review, and Follow the Show please!

Zoolander (2001) vs Phantom Thread (2017)

The category is "Fashion Industry Films" and we have two very different movies going head to head. Zoolander is an outlandish comedy with wacky jokes and even wackier outfits. Phantom Thread brings a more sophisticated style along with some truly interesting themes on love and desire. Most importantly it's the first appearance by a pair of distinct directors with Ben Stiller and Paul Thomas Anderson. Will either feature score 8 or more stars and be inducted onto the Modern Classics Greatest Films of the 21st Century List? The only way to find out is to pour a big glass of mushroom tea (or an Orange Mocha Frappucino) and give the episode a listen. Please rate, review and follow the show!
