The Film With Three Brains

Stranger Than Paradise (1984) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Jim Jarmusch gained accolades for showing the studio world that a movie can be just as slow, aimless, and infused with deadpan humor as real life—a notion embraced by the likes of Seinfeld, Wes Anderson—and that sometimes foible and folly reveal as much about the human condition as flashy narrative thread. Listen to how the Brains see everything in black and white--they've 'put a spell on you!'

Edward Scissorhands (1990) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Tim Burton siphoned the sentiment of his oddball childhood into the fairytale of Edward Scissorhands: a teenage creation with scissors for hands who struggles to fit into a suburban world that is both amazed and frightened by him. The star power of Depp and Winona Ryder could fuel any 90’s film, but aside from the hairdos and topiaries, does Ed still make the cut? The Brains know!

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Michael Caine is a debonair con man who takes a wager with a gauche scam artist (Steve Martin) about who is the best swindler, loser leaves town.  Does an audience love being conned or in on the con? Or do we just love being amused? Doubtful the Brains deliver answers to any questions but that won’t stop you from giving us your time.

Pitch Black (2000) - The Film with Three Brains Review

You know it’s a bad day when your spaceship crash lands on a planet the very same day a 22-year swarm of alien, flesh-eating locusts breaks free from the hive and the only person you can turn to is a murderous convict…unless that criminal is Vin Diesel! He was furious before fast and way too cool for some loser extraterrestrials. You're not afraid of the dark, are you?

Wonder Boys (2000) - The Film with Three Brains Review

More aptly titled “Weekend at the English Professor's," this deadpan comedy is also a quirky drama satirizing the literary sphere within academia. It's held together by the star power of Michael Douglas, Frances McDormand, Tobey Maguire, and Robert Downey, Junior, but . . . what is it? Plot line defiance and genre pigeonhole-dodging give the Brains food for thought. Join the feast.

Slap Shot (1977) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Paul Newman was more than just a salad dressing, at one point he was a hockey player-coach for a rowdy Midwest minor league team about to go skates up. With a Disney plot build up and more F-words than Webster’s, did this sports dramedy have a fighting chance?  It’s the Brain’s goal to find out!

This is the Karate Kid of BMX bikes, except no one remembers what in the world a BMX bike is.  When a stuntman directs a bicycle movie how could the results be anything but radical?

The Outlaw Josie Wales (1976) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Clint Eastwood stars in and directs his second Western, adapted from a book on the many factions and foibles of a nation ending its bloody civil war.

Gone to Texas are the Brains, so follow along little doggies to find out if you're a maverick or part of the adoring herd.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Come back to 1982 when high school was totally awesome and the only thing people bothered "liking" was the restaurant where you worked. Fast Times set the stage for a slew of 80's teen films and helped define the Gen X mindset. Is it still gnarly? Or just explains why your dad scalps tickets? Bell has rung, Brains in session.

Poltergeist (1982) - The Film with Three Brains Review

While the directing credit goes to Tobe Hooper, it was Producer Steven Spielberg who had the Midas touch in the 1980's, but does a zero-body count horror movie that has been endlessly parodied and imitated still deliver the scares? Or has this become a shocker documentary explaining why home-buying disclosure packets are now three inches thick? Catch a steak and take a break with the Brains. We're herrrrrrrrrrrrrrre.

Carrie 1976 - The Film with Three Brains Review

Creepy Carrie epitomizes the sage advice: Don’t mess with a telekinetic teenager on prom night.  Do people ever learn? Did Stephen King really say the movie is better than his book? Did the Brains even go to prom? Are you going to tune in or what? Carrie (1976), wherever you listen to podcasts.
