The Goods: A Film Podcast

Lincoln (2012) - I got you Abe

Spring is a busy time for traumatic American events, so Dan and Brian parse through a few memorable ones, including the death of Abraham Lincoln. Then they talk through the Steven Spielberg-helmed biopic-slash-political drama about the passing of the 13th Amendment. Join as they talk through the contributions of some of Spielberg's late-era collaborators, the wonky horse-trading politics of the Civil War, and personal connections with famous and screen-inhabiting professors.

Hamburger Game (2013) / Vine (2013-16) - The season for tomfoolery

The Goods' annual April Fools episode, in which we review "not-quite-a-film"s, is running slightly late this year, but here we are.
Brian brings a silly YouTube series of Japanese men driving around Los Angeles eating too many hamburgers and butchering English as they make their orders. Meanwhile, Dan brings the defunct social media platform Vine and some of its most iconic six-second micro-films via a compilation entitled "Vines that cure my anxiety."
These April treats are fun trifles. But Are They Good?

Undisputed Series (2002-17) ft. Andrew Milne - The most complete fighter in the world

Andrew Milne from the excellent Two Friends Watch podcast joins The Goods to try and clear up one of Dan and Brian's blind spots: martial arts films. They talk through the curious saga of a forgotten prison drama revived into a series of high-powered, direct-to-video fighting movies anchored by Scott Adkins' memorable Boyka fighter. Join as they talk through the series' ups and downs, the unexpected thematic threads, the goofy exploitation campiness, and elegance of a great fight scene.

Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000) - OK PT Boomer

The General (1926) - Tricks on tracks

Train Month continues on The Goods with a look at early train-related cinema.

Join as Brian and Dan discuss the prominence of trains in early movies, the comic appeal of hand carts, Keaton's wild stunts, and the sentimental depiction of the Confederates in the Civil War.
