Ho, ho, ho and Merry Christmas from Jim and A.Ron at Bald Move! This year the guys are treating you to a Very Carrey Christmas starting with Jim Carrey in How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000). Whether you’re having a cozy or a hard candy Christmas, drunk Jim and A.Ron are here to bring light and cheer to your holiday.
In honor of the 30th Anniversary of Casino (1995), we’re releasing the retro coverage again for you to enjoy! This might be the last time they let street guys like us handle any podcasts this valuable. We’ve had a good run of Scorsese films this year (Goodfellas, The Irishman, The Wolf of Wall Street) but there’s only so much gas is in the Scorsese tank. We canceled our Raging Bull 40th anniversary podcast because we just couldn’t fit it in. Jim’s pumping the breaks on reviewing any more gangster films in the near future. Are we running out of steam? Getting sloppy? I sure hope not because that’s when you make mistakes. That’s when you get whacked. Join us for a little over an hour of discussion of Scorsese’s 1995 classic Las Vegas gangster film, Casino.
The Descendants (2011) directed by Alexander Payne is an exploration of a family in crisis. George Clooney plays a grieving and befuddled father and husband dealing with heartbreaking revelations and two distant daughters. Jim and A.Ron dive into the family drama, join them in this commissioned podcast! Thank you Bryan for commissioning this podcast for Mina!
This year’s most talked about horror movie is Weapons (2025) from Zach Cregger. When 17 kids go missing, two people are on the case: Jim and Talitha! Your hosts dive into the symbolism, character connections, and interwoven plot lines in this genre-bending movie.
On its 70th Anniversary, what does Rebel Without a Cause (1955) teach us about ourselves today? Within its central conflict, it presents the age-old problem of “fitting in” and defining yourself, a common challenge that echoes across the decades. Will Jim and A.Ron be able to relate to Nicholas Ray’s classic film? Does James Dean speak to us today as he did with audiences of previous generations?
Take a step back to 2018 when no one would shut up about Hereditary from horror director Ari Aster. Jim and A.Ron are coming at this movie from two different angles. What makes this movie? What destroys it? Keep your demon worshiping to a minimum, we’re not falling for it.
From the master of horror, John Carpenter, comes a film heavily influenced by the likes of HP Lovecraft and Stephen King. Jim, resident horror expert, and A.Ron dive into this mind-bending film for the first time. Hold onto your sanity and descend into Carpenter’s “In the Mouth of Madness”! Thank you Stacye for commissioning this podcast!
