A movie analysis show looking at your favorite cult and genre films from across cinema history. Each week, Dustin, Arthur, and Dalton try to apply academic rigor and critical analysis to the films you wouldn’t talk about in a film studies class while having a few laughs along the way. It’s the conversations you have in the lobby of the multiplex with a little more room to breathe, and the occasional footnote. Stay tuned to the feed for bonus episodes on new releases.

Ep. 438: The Heat (2013)

Our final episode of our Buddy Marathon hits right as the holidays are winding down as we take a look at the female-led buddy cop comedy The Heat. This Paul Feig joint stars his constant collaborator Melissa McCarthy as well as Sandra Bullock as two detectives on the trail of a Boston drug lord. But, does it cook up the laughs? We quickly discuss those reviews before turning to our analysis analyzer (cop lingo) to crack open the interior of this one. We're talking cop comedies, Melissa McCarthy, Paul Feig, allyship, the issue of a minor subplot involving a serial killer, and we take a look at the Wayans Family Tree. Tune in now as we wrap up our Buddy Marathon.
