  • 'Heat' [1995] - Wackoe, CE Garcia & Gabe "The Calilobo," with Samantha Garcia and David Wong.
    Dec 31 2025

    On our milestone 75th episode, and final episode of the season, we're joined by filmmakers (and returning guests) Samantha Garcia and David Wong, to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Michael Mann's Los Angeles crime saga: "Heat." This is a dive deep into Mann’s meticulous craftsmanship, the iconic performances from Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, the legendary downtown shootout, and how LA was utilized as a living, breathing character, why it remains endlessly rewatchable, and why, even 30 years later, it still sets the standard.

    Dec 12 2025

    This week we’re marking a major moment in cinephile history: the long-awaited "official" release of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, Quentin Tarantino’s fully realized, razor-sharp vision, presented as one seamless epic. Joining us to break it all down are the founders of Hong Kong Cinema Club, an organization dedicated to preserving the golden age of Hong Kong action cinema in Los Angeles. Together we'll explore how the style, spirit, and violence of Hong Kong action filmmaking helped shape Tarantino’s revenge opera, what this unified cut means for fans, and why the legacy of these films continues to echo through to modern times.

  • 'Casino' [1995] - Wackoe, CE Garcia & Gabe "The Calilobo," with Moses Munoz.
    Dec 1 2025

    On November 22, 1995, Martin Scorsese released one of the greatest gangster pictures ever made... For the second time... On this episode we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Martin Scorsese’s 'Casino', the neon-soaked epic that proved nobody can portray beautiful chaos quite like Marty, Pileggi, De Niro, Stone, and Pesci. We'll break down the film’s wild production, the real-life mob influences, why the film's costume budget was over a million dollars, and why Casino still shines brighter than any Las Vegas marquee did three decades later.

  • 'The Running Man' [1987] - CE Garcia, Gabe "The Calilobo," with guest host Ben Gonzalez.
    Nov 14 2025

    On this episode we revisit the neon-soaked, one-liner-loaded survival game show satire, 1987's sci-fi action spectacle, 'The Running Man,' starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. From its razor-sharp satire of media and government to Arnie’s more than classic line deliveries, this film gives us more than enough to talk about. Joined by Ben Gonzalez, one-third of the Movies In Trouble podcast, we break down the film’s wild production history, its over-the-top action sequences, and why this dystopian game show feels more prophetic now than ever.

  • 'House of Wax' [2005] - Wackoe, CE Garcia & Gabe "The Calilobo," with Samantha Garcia.
    Oct 10 2025

    Producer Samantha Garcia returns to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of 'House of Wax', the gory remake that turned mid-2000s pop culture into a horror show. A self-proclaimed defender of this very niche film, Samantha makes her case for why this film deserves more respect, while we dig into the fascinating reinvention of Paris Hilton, and the undeniably weird onscreen attraction between the film’s leads. It’s wax, it’s wild, and it’s way more interesting (and awkward) than we all remember.

  • 'Goodfellas' [1990] - Wackoe, CE Garcia & Gabe "The Calilobo," with Samantha Garcia.
    Sep 26 2025

    "As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be..." a podcaster..?

    In celebration of the 35th anniversary of Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas, we’re going full Henry Hill and breaking our own rules with our longest episode to date! We spend nearly 2hrs of us obsessing over Ray Liotta’s cocaine-fueled paranoia, Joe Pesci’s unhinged antices, and Robert De Niro’s villianous gazes. And since family is everything, we've brought in one of our own (again!), film producer Samantha Garcia, who's fresh off producing a short film with Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw.

  • 'Donnie Brasco' [1997] - Wackoe, CE Garcia & Gabe "The Calilobo" with Ray Montano.
    Sep 12 2025

    It's 'Mob Movie Month' and we’re talkin' 'Donnie Brasco' (1997), the movie where Johnny Depp goes undercover in the mob still looking like Johnny Depp, and Al Pacino plays the most low-energy gangster of his career, and it somehow weirdly works. It’s a tale of friendship, betrayal, and the kind of loyalty that makes you wonder if friends are worth dying for. Joining us is special guest Ray Montano, who will help us decide if 'Donnie Brasco' is a mob classic, or a really long cautionary tale about bad guys with bad nicknames. "Fuggettaboudit!"
