Hello, movie maniacs!

This week Mary and David watched The Mandalorian and Grogu – a title that just rolls off the tongue! Disney’s first film entry in the Star Wars franchise in seven years!

Well, one thing’s for sure: it’s impossible for it to be worse than The Rise of Skywalker!

Mary and David discuss current trend in prestige streaming series, give a quick overview of the Stars Wars film series, are flabbergasted by reactions to the film, Mary draws our attention to the movie trend of the year, and drool over sexy Hutts.

Mary finishes the show with her thoughts on The Backrooms.

Lots of great films are on the horizon, folks, and we’re going to keep on fansplaining!

Thanks for listening!

We’d love to hear some of your favourite films from 1984, and if you want to make a drink for them, even better. We might even try to make it!

Hello, horse fans and hello, mystery fans, and hello, horse mystery fans!

This week, we look at a local bricklayer who built up a multi-million dollar Quarter Horse racing enterprise with a string of wildly successful horses, a 140-acre farm in Oklahoma, and three private jets.

Sound too good to be true? Let Lezah tell you all the gritty details of drugs, murder sprees and epic money laundering in a story she is calling Dash for Cash or Operation Take Back America!

Hello, movie maniacs!

This week Mary and David watched The Sheep Detectives – a wonderful blend of live action and animation that is funny, heartfelt and exciting with a very good mystery at the centre of the film.

It’s one of those well-written film that attracts a lot of talented people to be part of the project – the cast is a veritable who’s who of excellent comedy performers.

Oh sure, we could tell you that this movie is a shear delight. Or say “Ewe will love it!”, but we’re not going to stoop to those sorts of sheep tactics!

Not sure what to think of the film. Well, pull the wool out your ears and let Mary and David fansplain it for you!

Lezah unwinds the twisted strands of this sordid tale of death by misadventure, drug addiction, madness, suicide and overbearing mothers.

Hello, movie maniacs!

If you find yourself in times of trouble, Mother Mary may be the soothing blast of surreality you need.

The newest film from David Lowery – the talented writer-director who has managed to straddle the line between personal and commercial films with some success.

Starring Anne Hathaway as pop diva Mother Mary whose success has reduced her creative vision to routine, who seeks healing from her former friend and costumer Sam (Michaela Coel). Naturally the two must confront a ghostly presence that has entwined itself in their lives.

The movie also features some fine acting from Hunter Schafer and FKA Twigs, and songs by Charlie XCX and Jack Antonoff sung by Miss Hathaway herself.

Can Lowery successfully merge a stage drama with a glossy music video? Well, let Dave and Mary fansplain it for you!

Finally, Mary has some thoughts about The Drama with Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, as a couple whose marriage plans are knocked askew by an explosive revelation, and Super Mario Galaxy.

Thanks for listening.

Judge not lest ye be Judge Reinhold. I think it says that somewhere in the Bible or maybe Robert McKee’s Story. Anyhoo, Vicky Van, Eric Fell and Jason Dedrick are back to talk about their memories of 1984’s Beverly Hills Cop.

Will they forget to talk about Bronson Pinchot? Don’t be ridiculous. As a nod to Pinchot’s Serge, the hosts enjoy an Espresso Martini with Lemon.

Also since it’s a buddy movie, they will also dine on A & W Buddy Burgers.

But we’re just Neutron Dancing around the real issue, did they make a tribute drink? Yes! The Banana in the Tailpipe. Want to make it?

Add to blender:

• One cup of milk (dairy or otherwise)
• One half cup of ice
• One banana (ideally frozen)
• One ounce of Kahlua
• Blend, pour into a tumbler and garnish with a slice of banana

Review from producer’s wife: Totally awesome. Like visiting a mall in the ’80s and getting a better version of an Orange Julius.

If you make The Banana in the Tailpipe or, better yet, make up a drink of your own, please send a picture to sneakyd@sneakydragon.com by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you. Also let us know what you think of the show and if you have any suggestions for future films.

Hello, movie maniacs!

On this episode, Dave and Mary talk about James L. Brooks newest (and maybe last?) film Ella McCay – an existential crisis/family trauma movie presented in the guise of a rom-com.

Brooks’ films are famously meandering, and trade realistic dialogue for sparkling wit. Ella McCay is no exception. The question is…do you like “vibes” movies or don’t you?

One of our hosts doesn’t and the other one does. But who?

Time for the talking of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van take you aboard their trains of thought, stopping at 1974.

This trip does have snacks including Jell-O 1-2-3. Unfortunately the last package was made 20 years ago. So we did a three layer version of our own with cherry, orange and lemon.

If you want to see a commercial for the original though…

They also drink a Boozy 1,2,3, by combining Baileys Irish Cream and Sheridan’s Original Irish Cream (a two part drink left over from last episode).

They even create a tribute drink called the Gesundheit.

Want to make it?

• Put ice in a tumbler
• Make a “swamp water” mix of Cola, Root Beer and Orange Soda.
• Add an oz of cheap Whiskey

Review from producer’s wife : Like drinking a dare as a teenager in the parking lot of a 7-11.

On this episode, Dave and Mary talk about Project Hail Mary. They discuss the careers of the directing team Lord and Miller, as well as the career of screenwriter Drew Goddard. And they talk an awful lot about the movie itself!

They also talk about the revival of movie trailers – just when it seemed like they were as dead as a door nail – and reflect back on this year’s Oscars.

Finally, they wrap up the show with some quick reviews of Pixar’s newest film, Hoppers, the sequel to the fun thriller Ready or Not, and Mary tastes the Forbidden Fruits starring Lily Reinhardt.

But what snacks to snack to Jack’s Back? Are they top of the pack? Or are they whack?

First, the hosts will enjoy some Monterey Jack cheese on a Ritz, the most James Spader of crackers.

Next is a beverage found online called Jack the Ripper. Break out the Jack Daniels and add orange juice and cinnamon to taste.

They also create a tribute drink called the Smokin’ Picardo. Here’s how to make it:

• Take a chilled tumbler.
• Add two ounces of Sheridan’s Original Irish liquor – a mix of dark, rich coffee liqueur with a hint of chocolate and a smooth vanilla cream liqueur.
• Add two cherries on a plastic sword.
• Top with a shoe horn.

It’s a drink the producer’s wife tasted and then described as, “Oh my God! Gah! It’s like a melted Wendy’s Frosty that’s been spiked. A very warm and nice aftertaste.”

Hello, movie maniacs!

Mary is away this week, taking in the sun and fun at Disneyworld in Orlando, FLA.

So Dave has invited his movie-mad friend Sean Condon to drop by and discuss movies, movies, movies.

Dave has a theory about the wonderful Elaine May’s career as a film director. Could she have made more films? What got in the way of her productivity? Dave compares her career to a fellow New York-based comic, Woody Allen, who flourished through the 70’s and became a better and better filmmaker.

Sean brings in some movie memes – or, as Dave insists on calling them: mémés – as a modern example of the sort of pithy reviews that once filled film guides. Both of them mourn the loss of fabulous film grump: Leslie Halliwell.

Finally, Sean digs out his list of the L.A. Times Top 101 Top L.A. Movies They go through the list with some interest and discuss the Top 15 films, which aren’t just excellent films about L.A., but are some of the best films ever made.

Let us know your favourite L.A. film!

This week Mary and Dave celebrate the return of Sam Raimi to being…er…Sam Raimi with the very enjoyable Send Help!

They discuss Raimi’s filmography, explore his distinctive directing style as well as his visceral film language, and contrast his career to that of the Coen Brothers.

They praise the ridiculously talented Rachel McAdams and also stan Teen Wolf alumni Dylan O’Brien, who is also outstanding in the film.

The film has something interesting to say about masculine and feminine power dynamics. and also enjoys covering people in bodily fluids.

But is it a film for you? Well, let David and Mary fansplain it for you.

Time for another episode of Refresh My Memory, ya dig? Well, even if you don’t, the cast of the 2003 film Holes sure do. Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van tell you about their memories of the movie and if it’s like biting into an apple or an onion.

Speaking of food, they also enjoy some themed snacks including focaccia, the hole-iest of breads. If you want to make some this is the Jamie Oliver recipe the producer used.

As a tribute to star Shia LaBeouf they “enjoy” a Beefback or Bullshot. Here’s how to put one together.

They also create a tribute drink called The Kissin’ Kate. Want to make it?

Into a tumbler with ice add…

• 1 oz Southern Comfort
• 2 oz syrup from a can of peaches
• Add carved out balls from an apple (we just added a slice as garnish)

Review from producer’s wife : Very nice. Like a peach Jell-O desert. Not too alcohol-ly.

If you make a Kissin’ Kate or, better yet, make up a drink of your own, please send a picture to sneakyd@sneakydragon.com by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you. Also let us know what you think of the show and if you have any suggestions for future films.

We think that Danny Boyle and Alex Garland (with Nia DaCosta) have created an amazing series of films that both revel in and transcend the horror genre.

So this week, we celebrate the release of 28 Days Later: The Bone Temple with the first part of a long and involved conversation about 28 Days Later and its amazing follow up 28 Years Later.

The second part of our conversation will appear next week – at which point we may finally get to The Bone Temple!

Hello, cinema sickos!

Mary and Dave ring in the new year by not continuing their McQuarrying series but instead discussing Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet – the story of Agnes Hathaway’s courtship and marriage to William Shakespeare, and the movie all the old folks are flocking to theatres to see!

Even if you don’t know what Metamucil is for, should you still go and see the film? Let Mary and Dave fansplain it for you!

Thanks for listening.

Have you driven a Ford (into jumping off the Cheoah Dam) lately? Tommy Lee Jones has and that means it’s time for some memories of 1993’s The Fugitive.

Your hosts Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van give you their recollections of this classic TV remake.

Along the way they enjoy some devilled eggs and a drink called the Harrison Ford made of Baileys, vodka and coffee liqueur. Did we mention we record this show in the morning? At least they had eggs.

They also create the tribute drink called a Provasic. Want to make it? Here’s the recipe…

• Fill half a teacup with:
• Lapsang Souchong tea
• add: 1 oz smokey whiskey and 1 oz vodka
• (Green food colouring is optional)

The producer’s wife said, “It’s nice. The kind of drink you’d want while watch a St. Patrick’s Day parade in Chicago.”

If you make a Provasic or, better yet, make up a drink of your own, please send a picture to sneakyd@sneakydragon.com by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you. Also let us know what you think of the show and if you have any suggestions for future films.

Ian got some bad intel from Dave regarding the Chinese New Year, which begins on February 17 if you’re interested. 2025 was the Year of the Snake and 2026 will be the Year of the Horse, which was Dave’s birth year so you’d think he’d know better!

Thanks for listening.

Technology baffles:

To the manure born:

Our McQuarrying series will not be appearing this week because Dave and Mary went to see the new Safdie Brother film Marty Supreme – the usual Safdie chaos with a twist of Timothée Chalamet playing a young man who gets into a lot of trouble with his balls!

Not sure what to think of Marty Supreme? Let Mary and Dave fansplain it for you!

Thanks for listening.

An Interview with Virginia Slachman

Hello, horse fans and hello, mystery fans, and hello, horse mystery fans! Welcome to Season Six of your favourite horse-based true crime podcast!

We have a treat for all you lovers of horse mysteries as Lezah and Dave have an enjoyable conversation with Virginia Slachman, a college professor, horse lover, and a creator of horse mysteries. Yes, Virginia has written four mystery novels centred around the world of horse racing: three in the Harper Hill series – Blood in the Bluegrass, Beast in the Bluegrass, and Betrayed in the Bluegrass – with a fourth on the way, and a stand alone book The Lost Ode.

You can find Virginia’s books here. You can also visit her website here.

We had a fun conversation with Virginia about mystery writing, her journey to becoming a mystery writer, the world of horse racing and the love, care and protection of our horse friends. So thanks to Virginia for coming on the show!

We hope you enjoyed this season of Horse Mysteries. Thanks to everyone who contributed comments and emailed the show.

And a big thanks to our musical maestro Chris Roberts for his fabulous theme music!

Depratment of Corrections:
Dave – who clearly does not suffer from pica – misremembered the name of this eating disorder as mica, which are silica minerals…and the name of a girl Dave went to school with in junior high. Additionally, the psalm David was describing as Psalm 33 with so much unfounded confidence was actually Psalm 23 – the infidel!

Hello, film fanatics!

Can this iteration of the Knives Out franchise possibly be as good as the first two instalments or will trilogy derangement syndrome take another victim? Let Mary and David fansplain it for you!

Thanks for listening.
