The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are carrying on through the 1990s examining one year every episode, and this time it's the movies of 1992, with the guys watching Robert Altman's Hollywood satire and career comeback "The Player" and then a schlocky Full Moon Pictures horror movie Ben has always wanted to watch, "Seedpeople."

Episode 395 includes:

-R.I.P. Normal Lear, Andre Braugher, but definitely not Henry Kissinger

-"Beau is Afraid" sure is... soemthing, and "Saltburn" leaves a bad taste in your mouth. 

-Behold the tansphobic travesty that is The Daily Wire's sports "comedy" called "Lady Ballers."

-By the Decade -- 1992 -- "Seedpeople" / "The Player"

-The guys work through their disappointment with both movies, discussing why "Seedpeople" grows tiresome despite some killer creature design, and why the comedy of "The Player" might be too droll or inside-baseball to really land as comedy in our modern day and age. 

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are digging their trip back to the films of the 1990s, and this episode they move forward to the year 1991 and discuss two wildly different movies about city dwellers with fantasy elements, from HBO's noir-but-with-fantasy made-for-TV movie, "Cast a Deadly Spell," and then the Oscar-winning comebac for director Terry Gilliam, the quirky buddy film that's also about grief and guilt and maybe the Holy Grail, "The Fisher King."

Episode 394 inclues:

-Ben Shapiro's company is making an anti-trans sports comedy called "Lady Ballers." Deep sigh. 

-Nate celebrates the new holiday crowd-pleaser "The Holdovers."

-Ben says "The Creator" is three different kind of intersting movies trapped in one film. 

-By the Decade -- 1991 -- "Cast a Deadly Spell" / "The Fisher King"

-The guys discuss what makes "Cast a Deadly Spell" work as well as underutilize more of its fantasy elements to serve its noir elelments, but most of the discussions is reserved for analyzing "The Fisher King" and how many of these intriguing film elelments were begging for a slightly different development. 

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" have leaped forward into a new decade, the safe confines of the 1990s, and they're looking at two under-valued and weird entries from 1990, the surreal rom-com "Joe Versus the Volcano" and the wild meta sequel "Gremlins 2" that broke many rules of what sequels should be.

Episode 393 includes:

-The Screen Actors Strike is over! Hooray!

-Ben is let down by indie comedies "Bottoms" and "Dicks: The Musical."

-Nate says "The Killer" and "Five Nights at Freddy's" are two movies that miss their marks. 

-The guys defend "The Marvels" as a perfectly enjoyable and fun B-movie. 

-By the Decade -- 1990 -- "Joe vs. the Volcano" / "Gremlins 2"

-First is a surprisingly offbeat and satirical rom-com that seems to have been forgotten and then it's a crazy creatures sequel that is literally one of Ben's favorite movies and the future of the podcast might be at stae if Nate doesn't enjoy it. 

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are finishing their look at the movies of the 1970s one year at a time, closing the decade on 1979's Oscar-winning satire "Being There" and "Time After Time" about H.G. Welles chasing Jack the Ripper through moder-day (a.k.a. 1979) America.

Episode 392 includes:

-Marvel in further trouble and the changes that may be ahead to course correct Phase 5. 

-R.I.P. Michael Gambon, Suzanne Sommers, and Matthew Perry

-Nate grimaces through "Pain Hustlers" while Ben champions one of the two 2012 movies he recently watched. 

-By the Decade -- 1979 -- "Time After Time" / "Being There"

-The guys discuss their disappointment with the imagination of a cat-and-mouse game between Welles and Jack the Ripper that doesn't know what to do with its characters, and the quaintness of "Being There," a much-heralded comedy that is a little too gentle in our modern age to land too many satirical blows. 

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are back from a month-long hiatus with an explanation, a lot of movies to dish about, and two films from 1978 to discuss, the schlocky double-feaure of Hitler clones with "The Boys From Brazil" and living killer ventriloquist dummies and a young Anthony Hopkins in "Magic."

Episode 391 includes:

-What's happened since we last recorded? Well, sit down for a bit. Also, the writer's strike is over. 

-Nate runs through seven movies he's seen in the last month, including "No One Will Save You" and the new "Mission: Impossible," while Ben details two obscure movies from the 1960s, one of which almost certainly was the inspiration for the "Mask" comic that later became the Jim Carrey movie. 

-By the Decade -- 1978 -- "The Boys From Brazil" / "Magic"

-Nate celebrates both movies as entertaing and well-executed schlock thrillers with wurprisingly strong if hammy acting, whil Ben quibbles over whether wither should have been less serious given their preposterous premises . 

While the "Dirty Sons of Pitches" gear up for their next recording, try a double helping of Ben's other podcast "Saturday Night Jive" with his brother George where the two watch and dissect in agaonizing detail movies from alums of "Saturday Night Live." This time the guys are discussing the cult 80s movie intended as a ripodd of "E.T.," sponsored by McDonalds no less, and carried into meme-ified life thanks to Paul Rudd's antics. It's a deeply strange movie worth listening about.

While the "Dirty Sons of Pitches" gear up for their next recording, try a double helping of Ben's other podcast "Saturday Night Jive" with his brother George where the two watch and dissect in agaonizing detail movies from alums of "Saturday Night Live." You would think they would have learned their Friedberg and Seltzer lesson from "Epic Movie" and yet here they are trying to make sense of the comedy stylings of the pair in another wretched 2000s spoof movie. Their pain is your gain, listeners.
