In this week’s Movie Memory Machine: Five For mini-episode, Landen and Truman sashay into the glittery chaos of 54with five more films that capture the highs, lows, and polyester-drenched parties of music, nightlife, and subculture. From Boogie Nights to Velvet Goldmine, we discuss the intersection of vibes, identity, and dance floors as cinematic crucibles for fame, transformation, and fabulous outfits. Bonus: a historical tangent about invented journalism that led to a disco classic.
Films Discussed:
Boogie Nights (1997)
Party Monster (2003)
24 Hour Party People (2002)
Velvet Goldmine (1998)
Saturday Night Fever (1977)
Topics Covered:
The shadow cast by Boogie Nights over late-90s ensemble dramas
Club kids, queer identity, and Macaulay Culkin’s turn in Party Monster
Steve Coogan’s music-scene swagger in 24 Hour Party People
Todd Haynes' glam rock dreamscape Velvet Goldmine and the bisexual lighting it rode in on
Saturday Night Fever as a misunderstood, mythologized portrait of 70s angst
Key Takeaways:
Club movies don’t just dance—they document cultural tipping points.
The vibe shift from disco glam to post-punk grit tells us more than the plot does.
54 wanted to be Velvet Goldmine but ended up Studio Interference: The Movie.
Disco never died; it just turned into biopics, glam fantasies, and Steve Coogan vehicles.
Listener Prompt:What’s your favorite club-set movie, and what music would play when you entered? Let us know using #MovieMemoryMachine.

In this Movie Memory Machine: Five For mini-episode, Landen and Truman follow The Legend of Tarzan with a grab bag of muscled vengeance, pulp nostalgia, and jungle-adjacent chaos. From Skarsgård's berserker vibes in The Northmanto Warren Beatty's color-coded midlife crisis in Dick Tracy, we celebrate films that echo the mythic, the pulpy, and the wildly ambitious spirit of Tarzan. There are dinner table lion roars, noir vigilantes, and one criminally underseen VHS tie-in. It’s high pulp and higher volume.
Films Discussed:
The Northman (2022)
The Shadow (1994)
The Rocketeer (1991)
Dick Tracy (1990)
Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984)
Topics Covered:
Skarsgård as the thinking man’s berserker (and Tarzan)
The legacy of pulp serials and art deco superhero throwbacks
The Rocketeer as the platonic ideal of retro adventure
Is Dick Tracy Star Wars for sad dads?
Greystoke and the struggle to prestige-ify a loincloth myth
Key Takeaways:
Tarzan is the vinyl of cinematic IP: better in small doses.
Pulp adaptations are either charmingly nostalgic or gloriously unhinged.
Alec Baldwin with silver pistols in black and white? Yes, please.
Some legacies are better left in the jungle.
Listener Prompt:Which pulp throwback deserves another shot? Are we sleeping on The Shadow? Join the conversation using #MovieMemoryMachine.

In this second installment of Movie Memory Machine: Five For, Landen and Truman recommend five films that pair—however weirdly—with Life or Something Like It. Whether you're here for existential questions, platinum blond archetypes, or broadcast journalist existential crises in Seattle, we’ve got a lineup that’s weird, wild, and unexpectedly sweet. From Bill Murray eating pastries to Jane Russell taking a surprise dive into a pool, this episode is all about life, death, fate, and great suits.
Films Discussed:
Groundhog Day (1993)
Heart and Souls (1993)
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)
The Ring (2002)
His Girl Friday (1940)
Topics Covered:
Why Life or Something Like It echoes Groundhog Day, but less metaphysical and more Oreos
Heart and Souls and the bleak whimsy of 90s studio comedies
Marilyn Monroe’s myth-making power and Lainey’s aesthetic in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Seattle as both rom-com and horror film territory (The Ring)
Howard Hawks' template for romantic banter in His Girl Friday
Key Takeaways:
Angelina Jolie’s Lainey is basically Bill Murray with a better blowout.
You can build a whole vibe off Marilyn Monroe’s bracelet game.
The Ring is what Life or Something Like It becomes if you swap cigarettes for cursed videotapes.
Screwball comedy is eternal (and a little bit horny).

In this first-ever installment of our weekly Movie Memory Machine mini-series, we spin off from Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre to bring you five stylish spy flicks that deliver the charm, tension, and flair Guy Ritchie's film tried to summon. From De Palma's Mission: Impossible to Hitchcock's North by Northwest, we spotlight the genre’s high points—and a few chaotic curiosities (looking at you, Casino Royale 1967). We also ponder Jason Statham’s self-parody arc, pay tribute to Cary Grant’s suits, and try to remember Kingsman without comparing it to Spy. This one’s for the trumpet players.
Films Discussed:
Mission: Impossible (1996)
Spy (2015)
Casino Royale (1967)
Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)
North by Northwest (1959)
Topics Covered:
The evolution of the spy movie post–James Bond
How Mission: Impossible reinvented the genre’s stakes
Why Spy gets Jason Statham better than Jason Statham does
Revisiting the offbeat parody that was Casino Royale (no, the other one)
Matthew Vaughn’s candy-colored chaos in Kingsman
Hitchcock’s influence on style, storytelling, and the spy archetype
Key Takeaways:
Some spy movies age like wine; others age like minestrone.
Operation Fortune wants to be cool—but these five films actually are.
Cary Grant’s gray suit may be the single most influential piece of clothing in film history.
Fashion, tone, and self-awareness are essential to pulling off spy pastiche.

In this chaotic, music-fueled Movie Memory Machine mini-episode, Landen puts Truman through the ultimate Season One trivia challenge: a game entirely about needle drops from the forgotten films we've watched so far. From Miley Cyrus to MC Hammer, Spoon to Social Distortion, it’s a deep dive into the best, worst, and weirdest pop songs awkwardly dropped into these movies. Can Truman identify the movie (and the scene) based on just the song title and artist? Will the machine accept this episode as "valid input" or is this just an excuse to gush about The Rocker again? Join us aboard the struggling ship as we gamify nostalgia and fend off the void with sick beats.
Topics Covered:
Our favorite (and most questionable) needle drops from Season One
The surprising musical throughlines across forgotten films
Landen’s custom trivia game with easy, medium, and hard rounds
Scenes we remember only because of the soundtrack
Does a post-apocalyptic spaceship need this many pop songs? Yes.
Key Takeaways:
Every single Season One film had at least one pop needle drop—except Gretel & Hansel.
A song can elevate a scene... or derail it completely.
The right music cue will haunt you for months (Rocket Man, we’re looking at you).
Fergie, Höser, UB40, and Hoobastank: icons of the Movie Memory Machine canon.
Truman earns the title of Prince of Needle Drops (77% accuracy, baby!).

In this Movie Memory Machine mini-episode, we follow our full-length Sahara discussion with even more mayhem: digressions, discoveries, and one deeply haunted dog name. Landon and Truman spiral into the mind of Clive Cussler as they unpack his lesser-known children’s books (The Adventures of Vin Fiz and Hot Sooty!), question Steve Zahn’s alleged catchphrase, and debate whether Dirk Pitt is doing anything cool in his room. Also: printer ink logistics, McConaughey’s zoo energy, and a trailer game breakdown that somehow makes the original trailer look worse.
Topics Covered:
What is Matthew McConaughey’s true appeal (and would we go to his house)?
Clive Cussler’s children’s books: Vin Fiz, Hot Sooty, and the cursed dog Floppy Sloopy
Printer ink on Sandekker’s ship: logistics and lore
Steve Zahn’s "catchphrase": Hi, how are you?
Monterey Bay confusion and Dirk Pitt’s romantic geography
The Sahara trailer game: how many map transitions is too many?
Key Takeaways:
Dirk Pitt might not be cool, but Steve Zahn sure is.
Clive Cussler's creative choices for children’s fiction are… questionable.
McConaughey is best enjoyed behind glass, like an aquarium exhibit.
Printer ink discourse belongs in all blockbuster movie podcasts.
The Sahara trailer might’ve sabotaged itself.

In the season finale of Movie Memory Machine, we dig deep into Sahara (2005)—a film that cost a fortune, confused genres, and kicked off exactly zero franchises. Starring Matthew McConaughey as treasure hunter Dirk Pitt, Sahara is the kind of action-adventure that wants to be Indiana Jones, James Bond, and Blood Diamond all at once. We dive into the absurd production history, the book’s wild differences, and why this movie still somehow works (for some of us). Also: Clive Cussler sued everyone, Steve Zahn loses his hat, and Rainn Wilson gets paid less than McConaughey’s chef.
Topics Covered:
The history and chaos behind the making of Sahara
Matthew McConaughey as Dirk Pitt: casting, charisma, and contact lenses
A breakdown of the many, many writers (and lawsuits)
Penélope Cruz’s role and the tone whiplash of pandemic horror vs. boat bro comedy
Deep dive into the book, the lawsuits, the budget, and the weirdest adaptation notes ever
Key Takeaways:
Sahara is a case study in how too much money, too many writers, and too many creative controls can sink a film.
Dirk Pitt is the ultimate Mary Sue, and the movie makes no apologies for it.
The opening credits sequence cost more than some indie films and contains more exposition than the actual script.
McConaughey, Zahn, and Cruz all give it their all—but the real star is the absurd backstory behind the film.
Main Cast & Crew:
Director: Breck Eisner
Writers: Thomas Dean Donnelly, Joshua Oppenheimer, John C. Richards, James V. Hart, and many, many more
Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Steve Zahn, Penélope Cruz, Rainn Wilson, William H. Macy, Delroy Lindo, Lambert Wilson
Based on the Novel By: Clive Cussler

In this episode of Movie Memory Machine, we row our way through The Boys in the Boat, George Clooney’s adaptation of the best-selling book about the University of Washington’s scrappy rowing team and their improbable journey to Olympic glory. We discuss whether the film captures the thrill of sports triumphs or just kind of... floats along. Plus, we question some creative choices, geek out over our favorite underdog sports movies, and inevitably spiral into a debate about what makes a great sports movie.
Topics Covered:
The real-life story behind The Boys in the Boat
George Clooney’s direction: a steady hand or off course?
Why sports movies don’t affect us (or so we claim)
Does this follow the great tradition of underdog sports movies?
Our personal picks for best sports movies ever made
Key Takeaways:
The Boys in the Boat is a solid, if predictable, sports drama about teamwork, determination, and getting really sore arms.
The film looks great, but does it feel great? We debate whether it captures the stakes or just coasts along.
The best sports movies are about more than the game—they’re about the people, rivalries, and dramatic slow-motion moments.
We reminisce about The Sandlot, Speed Racer, A League of Their Own, and other classics that made us fist-pump at our screens.
Main Cast & Crew:
Director: George Clooney
Screenwriter: Mark L. Smith (The Revenant)
Starring: Callum Turner, Joel Edgerton, Jack Mulhern, Sam Strike, Luke Slattery, Peter Guinness
Based on the Book By: Daniel James Brown

The Boys in the Boat (2023) – Movie Memory Machine
"Who the hell are these guys? Oh, right, they’re the boys in the boat."
Episode Description
In this episode of Movie Memory Machine, Landen and Truman row their way through The Boys in the Boat (2023), George Clooney’s sepia-toned tale of working-class college kids defying the odds at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. While the film attempts to craft an inspirational underdog story, your hosts have a few oars to grind—questioning its historical blind spots, over-reliance on sports movie tropes, and why Jesse Owens was the real story of those Olympics. From the film’s glossy, awards-bait ambitions to its oddly chaste, uninspired execution, this discussion leaves no regatta unchallenged.
Major Cast & Crew
Director & Producer: George ClooneyScreenwriter: Mark L. Smith (based on the book by Daniel James Brown)Starring:Callum Turner as Joe RantzJoel Edgerton as Coach Al UlbricksonHadley Robinson as Joyce SimdarsChris Diamantopoulos as Royal BroughamFilm Synopsis
Based on a true story, The Boys in the Boat follows Joe Rantz and a ragtag crew of University of Washington rowers as they train under Coach Ulbrickson, overcoming personal hardships and class barriers to compete in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The film paints a portrait of Depression-era America, resilience, and teamwork—though it skims over some of the deeper historical complexities.
Episode Highlights
A Boatload of Problems – Landen and Truman discuss the film’s lack of character development and how its team dynamic fails compared to classic sports movies.Who Gives a Sh*t About This Story? – A deep dive into why this particular Olympic victory was chosen to be told, and whether it deserved the cinematic treatment over other 1936 Olympic moments.George Clooney’s Directing Style (or Lack Thereof) – Why The Boys in the Boat feels like an aesthetic filter applied to a Wikipedia summary rather than a film with purpose.A Missed Opportunity for Rowing to be Hot – Truman argues the film should have been way hornier, considering the sheer amount of synchronized thrusting involved in rowing.The Jesse Owens Factor – How The Boys in the Boat ignores the most historically significant American athlete of the 1936 Olympics.Inspirational Sports Speeches™ – An analysis of how the film leans on clichéd motivational monologues instead of crafting an engaging narrative.🎧 Did you watch The Boys in the Boat?

"Somewhere between satire and sensory overload, American Dreamz (2006) crams politics, pop culture, and reality TV into a single chaotic comedy."
Episode Description
In this mini-episode, Landen and Truman break down American Dreamz (2006), a movie that tried to satirize everything at once—reality TV, politics, and the war on terror. They revisit the film’s self-serious opening credits, its bizarre wig choices, and the best (and worst) of its reality show parodies. Plus, they play The Trailer Game to see if the marketing sold audiences on satire or just Hugh Grant looking miserable.
Major Cast and Crew
Director & Writer: Paul WeitzMain Cast:Hugh Grant as Martin TweedDennis Quaid as President StatonMandy Moore as Sally KendooWillem Dafoe as Vice President SutterChris Klein as William WilliamsSam Golzari as OmerMarcia Gay Harden as First Lady StatonJennifer Coolidge as Martha KendooFilm Synopsis
Reality TV and politics collide in American Dreamz, where a Simon Cowell-style TV host (Hugh Grant) seeks ratings gold with a manufactured pop star (Mandy Moore) and an unwitting terrorist contestant (Sam Golzari). Meanwhile, a clueless president (Dennis Quaid) gets roped into the spectacle. As satire meets slapstick, the film asks: is America one big reality show, or is it worse than that?
Episode Highlights
The over-the-top opening credits: clever satire or too much too soon?Mandy Moore’s wig: the real star of the movie.Hugh Grant’s performance—his best attempt at soulless TV host or just an easy paycheck?The Trailer Game: Did the marketing team actually understand what this movie was about?A debate: does American Dreamz belong in the political satire hall of fame, or is it just Reality Bites with more explosions?What’s the weirdest attempt at political satire you’ve ever seen?

"Somewhere between satire and fever dream, American Dreamz (2006) asks: What if reality TV, politics, and terrorism all collided in a comedy? The answer is… a lot."
Episode Description
In this episode, Landen and Truman dive into American Dreamz (2006), Paul Weitz’s darkly comedic take on post-9/11 America, reality TV, and the absurdity of politics. Starring Hugh Grant as a Simon Cowell-type TV judge and Dennis Quaid as a bumbling U.S. president, the film tackles the war on terror, media spectacle, and the manufactured nature of stardom. But does its satire still resonate, or does it feel like an artifact of the Bush-era news cycle? Tune in for a sharp, hilarious breakdown of a movie that tried to take on everything at once.

Episode Description
In this week’s episode, Landen and Truman explore Gretel & Hansel (2020), a visually stunning but divisive reimagining of the classic tale from Oz Perkins (Longlegs, The Monkey). With Sophia Lillis as a resourceful Gretel and Alice Krige as the unsettling Witch, this film trades fairy tale whimsy for atmospheric dread. Join the discussion as they dissect the film’s unique aesthetic, its exploration of feminist themes, and the age-old question: why does food always look so unappetizing in horror?

"We survived Poseidon (2006), and the only thing that flipped us upside down more than the ship was Fergie’s dramatic demise."
Episode Description
