  What would you do if you only had 8 minutes left to live? Well, hopefully you would speed through the latest episode of Nightcaps at the Theater. Tonight, our first guest is friend of the podcast: Alexander Portera. After some conversations on talking Pikachu, and finally putting this Aquaman beef to rest, it’s off to 2011’s Source Code. Imagine that you are trapped on an extremely spacious train, in the body of Jake Gyllenhaal, and your mission is to disable a bomb, stop a terrorist attack, while avoiding the greatest evil of all…public transit commuters. In this sci fi thriller, racing down the tracks and through time itself is a mad breakneck dash to avoid a fiery fate. Strap in, and Pay Attention!  Who’s the prime suspect? The adult man in a Star Wars Shirt? The woman who keeps spilling coffee…on purpose?!? The failed comedian? It could be anyone, but one thing is for sure … its going to be a long 8 minutes. Tonight, on the Marquee: Guest Walks into a Bar: Alexander Portera and Source Code. Dunkin

  Hide your best “unbreakable” china, and pray that your washing machine is in working order. Mommy and Daddy are out of town and the only thing they left for us to watch was John Hughes’s 1989 comedy Uncle Buck. Imagine getting up to record the podcast only to find stack of gargantuan pancakes, and our underwear freshly pressed, straight from the microwave? Who could have done this? John Candy…really?  He may be a bit of a slob, and his car may be just be a death trap, and he may threaten to dismember our boyfriends with a hatchet…but he really doesn’t seem like that bad of a guardian. Will we each survive this surreal week at the Russell house, while keeping our kneecaps intact? You’ll have to tune into Nightcaps at Theater to find out. Tonight, on the Marquee: He’s Crude, He’s Crass, it’s Family…It’s Uncle Buck. Retiring to the Island Gullah-Gullah. The Uncle Bucks that Could Have Been. Welcome to the stage, Winona Wyder.

  What would you do if you could travel through time? Win the lottery? Invest in the stock market or electromagnetic reduction? On this episode of Nightcaps at the Theater we take a look at the “timeless” sci-fi classic, 2004’s Primer. Shane Carruth’s incredible filmmaking debut is brought to you (from a different grainier/rougher audio time period, it will all make sense, post listen) by all of those willing to probe their minds, and really think amidst intersecting timelines. Do you have your earpieces in? Will you be able to avoid your past selves to avoid a paradox? How could a Weeble enter and leave from side A? Who brings a gun to an ex’s party? All will be answered and more questions will emerge. Make sure to keep knocking them back, so you too can understand the unlimited, myriad, mysteries of time and space! (*Sound Issues may be a side effect of time travel.) Tonight, on the Marquee: What’s in the Box? It’s the time travel thriller…Primer Sending a Shit month off with Miami Connection. Shane C

Welcome to the new and improved, Nightcaps at the Theater. We are diving right into our first Critically Panneduary/So Bad it Hurts/Don’t Yuck My Yum Bad and we have no idea if we ever will look at movies the same way again. We piece together clues from our repressed youth’s subconscious and scream in maddening realization as we watch 2002’s The Master of Disguise. Pistachio Disguise (Yeah, you read that right) is on a mission to save his parents, find love, and become the true Master of Disguise. This film, if you can call it that, has it all. Bad, dated Dana Carvey impersonations. Sexism. A horrible, horrible, lack of humor. Don your Turtle Costume, and prepare your best/worst Tony Montana voice, you are going to need all your wits and sanity to make it through this movie. Afterwords, as you chant “Who’s Your Daddy?” rocking yourself back and forward, trying in vain to rid your mind of the Cherry Pie Man, remember this.  Become Another Person. Watch Another Movie! Become Another Person. Watch Another Movie!

  “Amuse-Bouche” – Episode 01 – February 2nd 2019 You all asked (in our imaginations) and we here at Nightcaps listened. Have you ever thought “Gee, I love the film commentary these three goobers offer, but I would love it even more in a shorter podcast format, so I can catch up and watch the movie, that these folks are talking about.” Well, have we got a surprise for you! From this point forward, we will be dividing our pop culture segments and movie reviews into two separate episodes. That’s the same amount of episode with technically more effort. In this way, you can keep up to date with Movie News, T.V. Obsessions, Theater Talk, Music Recommendations, and Casual (Oftentimes, drunken and delusional) Witty Banter. Haven’t seen the movie we are going to talk about, but can’t live without those confounded Nightcaps bois? No Problem. Just pick up the movie episode when you get that craving for something to go down real smooth. Welcome to “Amuse-Bouche.” Oh, and don’t worry we got you covered on that good, go

“Spectacular! Spectacular!” … These words aren’t in this film’s vernacular. Drinks aplenty don this event, you’ll be dumb…and that’s pretty much it. We continue our Critically Panneduary/So Bad it Hurts/Don’t Yuck My Yum marathon with Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 musical monstrosity Moulin Rouge! This film will have your head spinning, as if you had just chugged a bathtub of absinthe...we think Baz might have while he was directing. Follow the green fairy, and join the Children of the Revolution. Here at Nightcaps, we stand for all things Bohemian: Freedom, Beauty, Truth, Love, and Booze. This is a tale of sparkling diamonds, penniless sitar players, music that no one should ever have the rights to, really obvious coughing, and furious editing. Prepare to belt out your best love ballads from the top of Lucy the Elephant, just watch out for that opera singing moon and remember this lesson. “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn…is just to drink and share a bad movie in return.” Tonight, on the Marquee: Outside it may

  Somewhere in Miami there’s a world of Taekwondo, cocaine, and ninja motorcycle gangs. In the lost 1987 “gem” Miami Connection director, actor, and grandmaster Y.K. Kim teaches the audience the pain and power that consumes your being when your body is one of the most dangerous weapons in the world. Dragon Sound, a rock band made up of only the goodest boys is the talk of the town. Unfortunately, the hundreds of gangs that make up the seedy underbelly of Miami/Orlando/Wherever want to take them down. There’s bound to be a fight or two, (as to if they are well shot…we here at Nightcaps leave that to you) some passionate romance, lost fathers, and a few engrossing training montages on this adventure. If you think yourself ready to “Go Against the Ninja” then pick up a katana and a slice of pizza…prepare yourself this movie is like no other! Tonight, on the Marquee: The “plot” of Miami Connection. So Bad…it’s Critically Panned…My Yum? V. Court – Watership Down, RPDR ASR, The Great British Bake Off, Derry G
