Onur Tukel’s The Misogynists tickles an intellectually vouyeristic itch by peering into the minds of people who were actually happy after the 2016 election. There is something cathartic about the film’s fly-on-the-wall approach to analyzing people through their political convictions–though the darts Tukel throws at the left hit much closer to home.

Veronica was impressed by how honest Nick Nolte’s autobiography Rebel is. From being open about his struggles with mental illness and drugs, to his love to acting and unconventional women, there’s more to Nick Nolte than that one mug shot.

Carlo & Dan both watched The Clown at Midnight and The Clown Murders and it was no laughing matter! 

Guest Ben Nash joins Jenna to discuss two later Jerry Lewis offerings. One of the overlooked genius type, aka Cracking Up, and one of the don’t-even-look vomit type, aka The Nutty Professor II: Facing the Fear.

Carlo’s caught a bad case of Movietitis B in 2019 so stay clear if you don’t wanna get sick.
Sill going for it, eh? Sick.

Jenna rejects all your parasites, irishmen, gems uncut and once upon a times for a list of films that leans heavily on character development and themes of redemption.

Guest Paul Corupe joins Dan & Carlo to discuss two notable tax shelter era horror movies featuring inanimate objects as murderers: Murder by Phone and Death Ship.

Dan’s top film discoveries of 2019 include made for TV movies, found footage, documentaries about dating objects, arthouse slashers and overlooked 1990s dramas–it’s a cornucopia of the strange and great!

Veronica’s top ten for 2019 is a mix of old and new and includes everything from murderous cults, murderous alligators, murderous ice, murderous frat boys, murderous dancing… you get the idea.

We have a Patreon now and if you like us as much as we like you, maybe throw us a dollar to show us you care? Please? No? Okay. Well. I mean, we still like you.

Christmas may always be the season of sap and treacle, but there’s no reason to suffer through boring, trite entertainment just to be thematically appropriate. Veronica delves into Red Christmas, Better Watch Out and Christmas Evil.

On this festive Hoser Horror episode of Notes from the Back Row, Carlo and Dan zip up their snowpants and lace their boots in order to discuss Ghostkeeper and Curtains.

London Fields and Cloud Atlas aren’t horrible films, they’re just poor adaptations. Veronica takes a look at how that could be in part II of Back Row Book Club’s look at unfilmable books.

Carlo & Jenna once again indulge in a big ol’ bowl of classic Japanese cinema with this in-depth look at the life and career of director Juzo Itami, along with his collaborator and wife Nobuko Miyamoto. Mmmmm, umami!

Veronica takes a look at whether it’s the books that are unfilmable or if the movie is just unwatchable. Spoiler: It has nothing to do with the details and everything to do with capturing the big picture.

Carlo and Dan take a mind-melting turn down the back-alley of Canadian pseudo-rip-offs Cathy’s Curse and Things!

What do Shia LaBeouf, Joanna Hogg and Pedro Almodovar all have in common? Their latest films prove they are all students of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Psychomagic–a shamanic psychotherapy that helps to heal the soul through poetic expression.

Paul Corupe joins Dan & Carlo to discuss how he became interested in Canadian cult movies and what exactly led him to create his website Canuxploitation back in the late-nineties.
