This week’s episode’s a short one because, well, the movie’s a short one, a spry little 70 minute low-budget alien invasion movie from 1951 called The Man from Planet X, a staple of television matinees of the time. There’s also a good amount of side-barring, and we have a brand new sponsor this week, so please pay attention for that little ad in this week’s “We’ll Be Right Back.”
If interested, here’s the Trailers From Hell entry we mention in the episode.
This week, belatedly because they were behind on everything, Kyle and Lincoln talk about a horror movie called You’re Next, which is probably one of the best slasher/home invasion/woman empowerment movies made in a good long time. They also discuss television programs like The Flash and Doctor Who and movies like John Wick and Stonehearst Asylum. So, that gives you a good idea of what’s going on with this episode. Also, there’s some sidebars and some other such garbage.
This week, Kyle’s back from his last-minute work trip and so he and Lincoln are free to discuss (and have a lot of unrelated sidebars within the discussion of) McG’s 2014 film 3 Days to Kill which was chosen because Kevin Costner’s in it. It came out in February, where most movies go to die, not not as horribly as January, alternately known as Fuck You, It’s January. Anyway, they talk about it and other things. You know the drill be now.
Be sure to watch Lincoln’s webseries Boyfriend Training which premieres Thursday, October 30th.
This week, Kyle was very quickly whisked away to a higher latitude for work, and so Lincoln was forced to watch the movie Kyle picked for Directors Not Directing Month, Robert Rodriguez’s Desperado, without him. However, he was joined by his good buddy, actress Ali Axelrad, to talk about this and other such televisual things, so it all worked out. Fun fact: Ali likes goofy looking white guys. She says so herself!

To begin the month of movies in which directors act in other people’s flicks, Lincoln has chosen to discuss Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, which features director Eli Roth as a beefy Jewish soldier. Kyle’s perfectly fine with this choice seeing as Basterds is one of his favorite movies, as you’ll hear when he prattles on incessantly about it. Also discussed are The Flash, Arrow, a play Lincoln saw that was ruined by a joke Kyle made earlier in life, and other things such as examples.
This week, Lincoln and Kyle are joined by actress, singer, dancer, and alternate groomsman Lucy Horton, an Englishwoman living in New York City who doesn’t sound like it at all, except sometimes she does. Together they discuss the 1990 cyberpunk film Hardware as well as how Lincoln has taken a lot of Lucy’s non-sexual firsts, how Gotham got better with its second episode, Lincoln turning 30, and how gross Porkins is. Like, super gross.
Lucy co-starred in Lincoln’s short film Pillow Talk, which you should watch, and be sure to follow her on Twitter because she’s cool.
A long time ago, in a galaxy that’s the same distance away as the galaxy you’re in currently, Kyle and Lincoln did a whole month looking at movies directed by the Italian maestro of the macabre, Mario Bava. Well, Lincoln’s chosen to bring it back, bring it back, all the way to Hackinsack by picking another film by Bava, 5 Dolls for an August Moon, which is basically an Agatha Christie mystery with naked ’70s women. They also discuss the new pilot Gotham, Lincoln saw Kevin Smith’s new movie Tusk, and Kyle watched a slew of documentary films. So stick all of that in your pipe and put your pipe down because it’s bad for you.
Kyle is back in LA and Lincoln is back in his apartment after they both were in a mansion for the Hayes/Riendeau nuptials. You’ll get to hear a lot about them, as well as some bantering about things watched, things purchased, things broken, and things half remembered while they both try to get through talking about 1996’s Crossworlds, a direct-to-cable sci-fi movie starring Rutger Hauer and Josh Charles.
David!
With Lincoln getting married and Kyle assisting Lincoln getting married (if the best man is really the Best Man, then why doesn’t the bride marry him?), they just didn’t have time for a full movie discussion this week. BUT they do have a little treat for you: commentary on their favorite episode of one of their favorite television programs ever – SPACED written by and starring Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson) and Simon Pegg and directed by young Edgar Wright. It’s season 2, episode 5 and it’s only 24 minutes, if you worry about the time commitment. Give the ep a watch and then listen or do both at the same time; we don’t run your life. Enjoy!! And we’ll be back with full flagship WTFAYW next week.
With the week leading up to Lincoln’s nuptials nearly at the finish, the boys decide to watch a movie about people driving and killing people and stuff. It fits, right? It’s Death Race 2000 from 1975 directed by Paul Bartel and starring David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone. The podcast episode is almost as long as the movie itself. So there’s that for ya.
