In between the next "Dirty Sons of Pitches" recording, enjoy an episode of Ben's other podcast with his brother Geroge, the "Saturday Night Live"-related podcast that finds the weird and awful movies of those from America's preeminant late-night skecth comedy series. This time they tackle the 1994 unspervised kids camp comedy, "Campy Nowhere," ith Christopher Lloyd as the lone adult keeping up the good times charade. There actually is a theme bar somewhere in America devoted to nostalgically recall this strange and uncomfortable kids movie that doesn't seem made for kids.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are working their way toward the end of the 1970s decade, two films at a time, and it turns out 1977 might be the best one yet with a lesser-known cult comedy from the likes of many Monty Pythom alums, "Jabberwocky," and recently deceased director William Firedkin's epic men on a mission thriller about transporting nitro through the jungle with "Sorceror."

Episode 390 includes:

-Movies pushed back! Dead Bob Barker and Jimmy Buffet! Danny Masterson sentenced to 30 years! More Godzilla in multiple formats! 

-Ben has broken his strike-prohibition and seen "Blue Beetle" and has some thoughts. 

-Ben's trek back to the films of 2011 yeilds mixed results with "Mr. Popper's Penguins" and the DC animated "Batman Year One."

-By the Decade -- 1977 -- "Jabberwocky" / "Sorcerer"

-The guys discuss the scatershot, Pyton-adjacent medieval comedy from director Terry Gilliam, "Jabberwocky," a mildly interesting preivew of the director's filmmaking to come, and they sing the praises of William Friedkin's balls-to-the-wall action adventure jurney of the soul into hell, the intense "Sorcerer."

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are back and digging into the year 1976 with the blaxploitation monster take on Jerkyl and Hyde, "Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde," and with the last movie of Alfred Hitchcock's career, the low-stakes "comedy" about fake psychics and jewel thieves, "Family Plot."

Episode 389 includes:

-R.I.P. the original Harley Quinn, Arleen Sorkin.

-In solidarity with the strike, Ben is only reviewing old movies, and this episode it's from 1960 with "the Time Machine" and "The Flesh and the Fiends." 

-Nate has finally seen "Barbie" and has good things to say about horror indie, "Talk to Me."

-By the Decade -- 1976 -- "Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde" / "Family Plot"

-The guys discuss two more disappointing movies from the 1970s. First a blaxploitation movie that does nothing with its race-flripping monster-alter ego premise, and then Alfred Hitchcock's final movie that sadly proved that the legendary director had been eclipsed. 

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are making their way through the 1970s and examining two movies by each calendar year, and this episode looks at 1975's paranoia thriller "Three Days of the Condor" starring Robert Redford, and the strange and nihilistic "A Boy and His Dog" set in a post-apocalyptic Southwest and featuring a teenage loner and his dog looking for food and women.

Episode 388 includes:

-R.I.P. William Friedkin and look deeper into his udnerrated filmography. 

-Nate says "Heart of Stone" is another bland Netflix espionage action movie meant to take a nap through. 

-Ben has rejected new Hollywood movies in solidarity with the strikes, so he now chooses movies from the 1960s and 2010s to catch up on, like his own By the Decade. This week: Zack Snyder's animated owl movie. 

-By the Decade -- 1975 -- "Three Days of the Condor" / "A Boy and His Dog"

-The guys are disappointed by another supposed classic of paranoia 70s thrillers and more impressed by the weird and off-putting cult classic "A Boy and His Dog" which inspired both George Miller's Mad Max series and the Fallout video games. It's got a telepathic dog too. 

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are halfway through the 1970s decade and discussing one of the most famous films of that decade, Mel Brook's Western comedy "Blazing Saddles," and a far lesser known movie based on a play, "Rhinoceros," which reteams the comedy duo from "The Producers." Can they make movies like this today?

Episode 387 includes:

-R.I.P. Paul Ruebens and Sincead O'Conner. 

-Nate has seen the new disappointing "Project Greenlight" movie and lived to tell the tale. 

-Ben finds the big "Barbie" movie to be a good time for all. 

-By the Decade -- 1974 -- "Blazing Saddles" / "Rhinoceros"

-Can you really not make movies like "Blazing Saddles" today, and the better question is, why would you want to? The guys reassess Mel Brooks' classic comedy and the artistic intent of "rhinoceros," a movie based upon a play, also starring Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel, about people turning into rhinos and how people view this. 

A special new podcast subset featuring Nate and his father. "My Dad & the Movies" is a monthly series where Nate and his father, George, discuss a movie of his father's choice, maybe a favorite or a formative work that made him the cinephile he is, and father and son can talk about their shared love of the movies. It's season two and the sixth episode takes another Steven Spielberg classic, 1981's rip-roaring adventure, "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

The "Dirty Sons of Pictures" are continuing to journey through the 1970s decade, and this episode tackles 1973, with the guys discussing the psychedelic French animated sci-fi allegory "Fantastic Planet" and the Oscar-winning con artist caper "Paper Moon" directed by Peter Bogdonavich.

Episode 386 includes:

-SAG joins the WGA and goes on strike! Also, Jonah Hill possibly a bad person too.

-"Sound of Freedom" is a well-meaning but draggy action movie right up the QAnon alley. 

-Ben has seen "Asteroid City" and has some very irate thoughts about Wes Anderson. 

-By the Decade -- 1973 -- "Fantastic Planet" / "Paper Moon" 

-The guys discuss the strange French animated movie with striking but off-putting imagery, and then they discuss Peter Bogdonavich's throwback to classic Hollywood capers with father-and-suaghter team Ryan O'Neal and Tatum O'Neal. Whatever positives are there tainted by Ryan O'Neal being a garbage person. 

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are delving through the 1970s of cinema one year at a time, and this episode looks at two movies from 1971, the popular and acclaimed thriller "Deliverance," and the lesser-known low-budget Hammer horror movie "Raw Meat" about an unfortunate cannibal causing trouble in London's underground.

-Ben declares "Dial of Destiny" a better Indiana Jones avdenture than "Crystal Skull."

-By the Decade -- 1972 -- "Delierance" / "Raw Meat"

-The guys discuss the Best Picture-nominated tale about a group of men being terrorized by rapist hillbillies and its approach and lasting impact of John Boorman's "Deliverance," and then "Raw Meat," also known as "Death Line," a Hammer horror movie about a cannibal living in the London subway that manages to be so crushingly boring while also being compassionate about its tragic monster figure.
