Children of a Lesser Baldwin



This week it's brother against brother against brother as we force a showdown between all Baldwins not named Alec. First up, the bloated Baldwin named Daniel gets two chances to impress. In Stuart Gordon's King of the Ants he tries his hand at being a greasy drunk crime boss and, in Christopher Guest's 1993 remake of the camp cult classic Attack of the 50ft Woman, he makes an attempt at being a greasy philandering husband who might also be drunk a few times. Second youngest and meltiest looking brother William gets his chance to wow us with Philip Noyce's Sharon Stone led erotic thriller based on an Ira Levin novel, Sliver. Finally baby brother Stephen gets his moment to shine in a movie about the lust boiling in a single college dorm suite in Threesome.
THREE BALDWINS ENTER! ONLY ONE LEAVES! Assuming RotP can agree on which is the Best Off Brand Baldwin. I wouldn't put money on it.
All that, dream Jurassic Park projects, a heartfelt ode to 1990s Lara Flynn Boyle, and more. This week in RotP episode 56- Children of a Lesser Baldwin.

HooDoo the Nihilistic Youth That You Do?



This week on RotP we wallow in Serbian teen angst, plastic peen, and hopelessness with Clip (2012). Then we head to a time before George Romero firmly established all the Zombie rules for a Dixie Fried Voodoo revenge with Sugar Hill (1974).

Cheap Thrills

This week we go Craigless as we watch King Kelly, a 2012 cellphone shot movie about a cam girl and her missing package, and Night of the Creeps, the 1986 cult classic homage to 50s B-movies. A fun time was had by someone. Probably Craig. Join us, won't you?

Veritas Viper Pit



    This week we put our fates in the hands of Chris and Stone and hope for the best. Stone throws Perfect Life (a.k.a. Perfect Victims) at us. A 2010... uh... pain machine isn't a genre, is it? No... um... drama? Sure. Drama. A 2010 "drama" about the most pretentious frat pledge and his very very loosely defined friends that he holds in painfully low esteem. Chris sees fit to serve up a little Street Trash, the 1987 cult classic painstakingly designed to offend as many as possible as often as possible. 
    Plus we finally hold T over a fire and force him to begin The Wire! We also figure out how to best make the inevitable Kenobi movie. All that and other things! Join us, won't we?
