Duncan navigates us to the south once again to hit us with his Texas twang. He shows Lex 1985's FANDANGO, directed by Kevin Reynolds (of WATERWORLD infamy). Judd Nelson plays a straight-laced college grad, headed for the Army, the same year he plays a rebellious high school senior, headed nowhere, in THE BREAKFAST CLUB. But while Judd shows his range, Kevin Costner pioneers his lackadaisical brand of complicated cool here as Gardner Barnes. It's the beginning of an iconic movie star career, but is it enough to impress Lex? Strap on your cowboy boots and hop in this big ol' Caddy of an episode. We're hitting the road with the Groovers.

In this episode, Lex confronts Duncan with an animal movie...for adults. It's Mike Nichols' DAY OF THE DOLPHIN (1973), starring George C. Scott. And with Buck Henry as writer (and featured voice acting), that should be a perfect storm for Duncan's '70s sensibilities. But does this seriocomic potboiler have enough sexy beach romping, Scott-level rage, and tight khakis to push Duncan into mind-blowing approval? This episode is swimming with surprises, including Duncan's intimate history with frisky dolphins. Put on your wetsuit. It's gonna get splashy.

This episode, Duncan takes us back to a film that harnessed serious star power... before they were stars. Jeff Bridges, Sally Field, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Robert England make the screen sweat in this balmy, Southern story based on Charles Gaines' 1972 novel. It's STAY HUNGRY (1976) directed by '70s verite hero, Bob Rafelson. While Duncan believes the film's bona fides earn it the top trophy, Lex doesn't sway easy. In the end, it's a match of muscle, but we leave it to you to decide who's right. Does this one pump so hard it blows?

2023 was the year of the strike, so what better way to bid it adieu than with one of the definitive labor flicks: Paul Schrader's Blue Collar. This time the pick belongs to the first-ever DIBYMTT guest, Allan McLeod, and before the guys even get the chance to talk Schrader, Duncan comes clean with a big confession. It paves the way for deep discussion about betrayal, compromise, on-set rivalries, and silly disguises. Zip up your overalls, strap on your safety glasses, and prepare for controversial takes on Harvey Keitel's weirdness, Richard Pryor's temper, and the pronunciation of "Kotto". If you haven't seen this classic, do yourself a favor and queue up a dramedy-heist unlike any other.

Are you ready to "fall in hate" with Lex's pick, Ricochet? Find out what that means and why this episode is chock full of surprises for your hosts. Duncan and Lex discuss what two of their favorite actors (Denzel Washington and John Lithgow at the top of their game) must have been thinking when they decided to face off in this ham-fisted, cop-vs-psychopath thriller. And they reveal how this Joel Silver bullet-fest fits into the larger Val Verde-verse. What's that? You've never heard of the Val Verde-verse (that includes Die Hard, Predator, and more)? Well, let your action education truly begin...

Season 2 has arrived at DIBYMTT, and with it, the wild world of David Lynch. Duncan and Lex delve deep into a throwback universe of sexy criminals, ghoulish weirdos, and total sad-sacks.
Buckle up for, DL's Twin Peaks most immediate follow-up, the kick-off of Nicholas Cage's very public Elvis obsession, and one more installment of the '90s collective obsession with rehashing Bonnie & Clyde. It's a high-speed ride, fueled by so many name-drops the wheels might just fly off this pod.

In anticipation of Season 2, here's a bonus episode, featuring discussion about a film that neither Duncan nor Lex had ever seen before. It's Ratboy (1986), directed by and starring Sondra Locke. (For a little background, be sure to listen to the Season 1 episode about The Gauntlet.)
Ratboy has to be watched to be believed, but if you can't do that, tuning into this convo is the next best thing. Buckle up for '80s vibes, Rick Baker make-up effects, and a slew of Sunset Strip stand-ups. Is it a horror? Is it a comedy? Is it a rat? Is it a boy? Hit play to find out!

Duncan and Lex close out a successful season with Clifford, Lex's pick and 1994's version of Hell In The Pacific... except with dialogue, Martin Short playing a little boy, and nothing to do with World War 2. At the start of the episode, Duncan kicks off his campaign to be named Charles Grodin Superfan Supreme and states that the reason he never saw Clifford back in the '90s was because he respected Grodin too much. Now, with decades to distance himself, he takes on this cult comedy classic with an open mind. But does open = blown? Either way, Season 1 ends with a bang.

Duncan tries to depress Lex into submission with his supreme downer of a pick, Scarecrow (1973), starring Gene Hackman (fresh off The Poseidon Adventure) and Al Pacino (months away from Serpico) as vagabond buddies who could never be accused of overachievement. Adorned with mighty character actors and the shabbiest locations the seventies had to offer, this long-overlooked film wanders and enchants until it's time to deliver a death blow. Thankfully, your hosts find plenty of ways to lighten the mood with a shocking nepo-baby reveal, a story about a personal encounter with one of the film's stars, and clips galore.
Will Gene's and Al's crackling star power pack enough explosiveness to blow Lex's mind? All you gotta do is press play to find out!

Is it a giallo? Is it an indie character drama?
Duncan puzzles over Lex's latest pick, White Of The Eye (1987). Directed by Donald Cammell (Performance, Demon Seed) makes murder look good on film, and a quirky cast, including David Keith and Cathy Moriarty, brings realism to a slew of weirdo characters. Beautifully shot, expertly edited, and scored by music legends Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) & Rick Fenn (10cc), this overlooked gem should be primed to blow Duncan's mind... but who knows? No one can pin that guy down, especially not his cohost.

You read right... Lex has never seen Cape Fear directed by Martin Scorcese. Until now... thanks to Duncan.
The guys get into '90s nostalgia, kicking things off with a quick round of "What were you watching in '91?" Then, it's straight into the heightened nightmare-scape of New Essex, NC when Max Cady, recently released from prison, revisits the lawyer who-dun-him-wrong. It's a sweaty, jowl-shaking good time as Lex and Dunc discuss what freaked them out and what was maybe too over-the-top. Minds are most certainly blown, but is it Lex's? Or is it Duncan's when he has to confront what Lex really thinks of Robert De Niro's iconic performance?

Just in time for Halloween, Lex picks The Hitcher from 1986. Written by Eric Red (Near Dark, Blue Steel) and directed by Robert Harmon, this not-so-talky road thriller kept Duncan far, far from it as a boy, thanks to the warnings of his trusted heroes Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. Well, it's time for him to put on his big boy pants and take a filthy, gruesome ride down a lonely stretch of Texas highway with Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell, and Duncan's beloved... Jennifer Jason Leigh (aka JJL).
Will Duncan need to call his mommy for consolation or will he muscle through and put this bogeyman to bed? Tune in-- it's gonna get scary.

It's time for Lex's first pick and he drops The Gauntlet on Duncan. Directed by (and starring) Clint Eastwood, this is oft-overlooked hunk of action is thin on story and heavy on vibe. Prelude to the absurd Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can franchise (yep, the orangutan movies), this so-'70s cop-on-a-mission story also stars longtime lover and collaborator Sondra Locke. The chemistry crackles, but is it enough to blow Duncan's mind? And will Lex's rep make it through the gauntlet?
Buckle up and armor up the bus 'cause bullets will fly.

Duncan and Lex have known each other for years, and when it comes to movie taste, they think they know each other pretty well. Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time puts them to the test. Each episode one picks a film that the other hasn't seen in the hopes of blowing their mind.
In this first episode, Duncan kicks off Season 1 with a forgotten cult classic from 1971... Wake In Fright, directed by Ted Kotcheff (North Dallas Forty, First Blood). Rescued and remastered in the '00s, this harrowing story of one man's descent into hell (aka the Australian Outback) has gained new appreciation in the last decade. For Lex, it had stayed on his "I'll Get To It One Day" list for way too long.
Will this boozy, brawly, kangaroo-killin' nightmare flip Lex's lid? Duncan sure as hell hopes so, mates...
