We hit the trail this week and Ride the High Country with Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea. Where does Sam Peckinpah's second feature film sit in the pantheon of westerns? Tune in to find out. We screened quite a few other movies lately, so we share our two cents on The Tourist, Easy A, Double Indemnity and a documentary on the Nigerian film industry called Nollywood Babylon. Our Question of the Week is: What is the best western produced between Ride the High Country and The Wild Bunch? We expect some Leone-based suggestions, but are there some other hidden gems out there?

This week, we experience the thrill of Victory (or is it the agony of defeat?). John Huston assembled an all-star cast including Sly Stallone, Michael Caine and Max Von Sydow for this WW2 soccer epic, but does the film deserve a yellow card? We also discuss the recent family movie Rio and have a chat about some recent TV season finales. Our Question of the Week is: What is a strong acting performance by an athlete? The answer is not Pelé - so email us at marriedwithclickers@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail at 206-338-0793. |

This week we spend some time with the charming Patrick Bateman. He's a modern man, who can exfoliate while he decapitates. Does the movie's satirical message get lost in all of the bloodshed? What was real and what was imagined? Just how many crunches did he do per day? We also revisited that 80s gem Predator. Has it aged well? Our Question of the Week is: Who is your favourite female director? Feedback keeps your head out of our refrigerator, so email us at marriedwithclickers@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail 206-338-0793 |

We cover our first film noir this week, with a review of Rudlph Maté's D.O.A. from 1950. This film is quite influential and was even remade in the 1980s, starring Dennis Quaid. Did it live up to its legend, or was it dead on arrival? We also give you the lowdown on Get Low. This is our most supersized episode yet, as we respond to some terrific feedback, including some trivia on Santa Carla/Cruz and a creepy story about a serial killer. Our Question of the Week is: What is your favourite film noir? Feedback is always welcome, so email us at marriedwithclickers@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail at 206-338-0793. |

This week take a trip (get it?) into the collective minds of Terry Gilliam and Hunter S. Thompson with a review of 1998's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Did we love it? Did we loathe it? Did we fear it? Tune in to find out. We also chat about 1984's The Bounty as well as film noir classics Criss Cross and The Big Combo. Our Question of the Week is: What 'unfilmable' book should never have been made into a movie? Feedback keeps you on our Christmas list, so email us at marriedwithclickers@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail at 206-338-0793.
