Defocused

The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Much like The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), this episode is truly Defocused and, yet, a ton of fun.Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Clue - This week, the guys are tired and, we’re not going to lie, things get a little weird. But, that doesn’t change the fact that this week’s movie, Clue (1985) is just wonderful fun. Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

The Frighteners - Dan ate our social engagement platform, Joe braces for work, and we watch Peter Jackson’s 1996 cult classic, The Frighteners. Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Goldfinger - Former volcano owner and current World’s Greatest CEO Matt Alexander joins us to talk about tearaway trousers, reclaimed wood, what to do when planes fly overhead, what ingredients may or may not be in KFC’s “chicken”, and, of course, Goldfinger (1964).Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm with Matt Alexander.

Galaxy Quest - Joe and Dan talk about college mascots and libraries. Joe nerds-out over Galaxy Quest (1999), while Dan politely nods. Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Grosse Pointe Blank - Joe hates love. Dan hates chicken salad. An omelet with nothing in it isn’t technically an omelet, and carrots and celery are just a base of a soup. This week, we watch Grosse Pointe Blank (1997).Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Pirates of Silicon Valley - Special guest Stephen Hackett joins us for some brief beverage banter before breaking down Pirates of Silicon Valley.Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm with Stephen Hackett.

Hackers - Like the memories of our childhood, Hackers (1995) is an embarrassing cultural retrospective full of that’s-not-a-things and awful clothing, but it’s still fun to watch in an only-partly-ironic way. Set your modems to receive a file. Defocusers of the world, unite!Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Collateral - This week we’re joined by special guest, Casey Liss, to discuss 90s music (bad), and Michael Mann’s Collateral (good).Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm with Casey Liss.

Detention - Dan is wearing pants. Joe promises he’s not peeing. We watch Tony Zhou’s A Brief Look at Texting and the Internet in Film before taking on the early 1990s two ways with Empire Records and Detention (2011). Bug: Joe would like to apologize for recording the wrong audio input this week and he promises to never do it again. Feature: You can tell Joe and Dan apart. Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

The Fifth Element - Live from Vancouver, Joe eats the turducken of insects, then buys a new kettle. Dan has no heart, but he can fix his car. All that and The Fifth Element.Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Guardians of the Galaxy - In a decidedly VFX heavy episode, we catch up on some industry news before spending almost as long talking about Guardians of the Galaxy as we did watching it in the theater. The Spoiler Horn sounds at 26:45.Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - This week, we’re joined by special guest Myke Hurley to discuss Dan’s “desert accent”, Myke’s concern about Joe’s sleep, and why we all love Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm with Myke Hurley.

Silicon Valley - The Episode 6 platform is built on social media, pivots to Mike Judge’s Silicon Valley, then pivots to coffee, before sunsetting with gym burritos. Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Super Troopers - Dan buys a burrito and feels guilty about it. Joe drinks dirt juice. It doesn’t matter if your TV is 4K because the movie probably isn’t. We don’t know what to make of Pixar’s involvement in the “no raid” scandal, but we’re really glad Super Troopers exists. And, it’s a good thing you didn’t order hashbrowns. I mean, if they had been chugging the catsup.Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Shaun of the Dead - Dan hurt himself. Joe enjoys both ketchup and mustard on his hotdogs. Neither of them really liked World War Z, but only one of them didn’t like Shaun of the Dead. Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Can't Hardly Wait - Dan’s tired from his trip to San Francisco, Joe got some taquitos, called Kaitan Koribann, and Tow-Mater, Tater, and they both (mostly) watched Dune and Can’t Hardly Wait.Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Magic Mike - Magic Notes, Magic Nodes, Magic Mike.Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Techno, Trailers, and Tarantino. (72min)Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.
