On this week's episode of SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM, Ray takes Rob back to high school by recommending the 1990s screen adaptation LORD OF THE FLIES! This film based on the 1954 book by Sir William Golding stars a young Balthazar Getty as Ralph, the natural leader of a band of military students who find themselves stranded on a remote island after a savage plane crash. With no hope in sight, the group take to setting up their society which quickly becomes treacherous as factions break off and tensions begin to rise. With supporting performances by Chris Furrh (EXILE, A FAMILY FOR JOE), Danuel Pipoly (THE TORKELSONS, THE GIANT OF THUNDER MOUNTAIN and a debut performance by JAMES BADGE DALE (THE DEPARTED, IRON MAN 3), this slice of classic literature dissects how long society can stand when all rules seem to fade away.
Will this trip down memory lane prove to be nostalgic for Rob? Or will his lukewarm feelings about the source material leave this film in the past? Tune in this week to find out!

It's time again for a brand-new episode of A COPY OF A COPY! This week, Ray and Rob are examining what they're calling the "stealth remake" in which a movie is an obvious remake of an older movie but is not explicitly marketed as such. For this version of the remake, they're watching one of Rob's favorite film, CASABLANCA starring the acting giants Humphrey Bogart (HIGH SIERRA, IN A LONELY PLACE) and Ingrid Bergman (NOTORIOUS, FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS) and the cult dystopian action film, BARB WIRE. This Pamela Anderson (BAYWATCH, THE LAST SHOWGIRL) vehicle was a critical and box office failure but has found an audience in the proceeding decades.
Did the makers of Barb Wire hide the fact it's a remake to avoid the comparison to one of Hollywood's greatest triumphs? Or was it to allow BARB WIRE the chance to soar on its own merits? Tune as Ray and Rob dissect these two films look at this variation on the remake!

It's time to say Happy Birthday to Rob here on SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM! To celebrate, he's taking part in his new annual tradition to commemorate the day of his birth, messing with Ray! Rob has chosen a very special film this month, not in the hopes of Ray hating it, but to push him to the boundaries of his film milieu. He has picked the David Cronenberg's 1983 body horror classic VIDEODROME!
In this subversive classic, James Woods plays Max Renn, the president of CIVIC-TV, a Canadian UHF television station known for pushing the boundaries of taste and civility. When Max is exposed to a new underground pirate broadcast centered on realistic torture and murder scenes with no discernable plot, he becomes enamored with who creates it, where it's made and how he can get his hands on it. As Max goes deeper and deeper down the Videodrome rabbit hole, he begins to notice changes in his perception that forces him to question his own reality and puts him on a collision course with a force beyond his understanding.
With stellar supporting performances by Debbie Harry (HAIRSPRAY, FOREVER, LULU) and Peter Dvorsky (THE DEAD ZONE, TWINS), Videodrome shows David Cronenberg at the height of prescience of world we may have unknowingly found ourselves living in.
Will the unbounded creativity of one of the masters of body horror prove too much for Ray? Or will the underlying warning force Ray to listen and not look away? Tune in this week to find out!

It's another 5th Monday here at Car RayRob which means its once again time for a special kid's episode of SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM! Ray and Rob are once again welcoming their favorite guest and ambassador of the younger generation, Mr. Kitty Kaiju! For this episode, Rob has decided to shake things up by not only recommending a movie that Mr. Kitty Kaiju hasn't seen, but he's also chosen one that Ray hasn't seen either, the 1984 sci-fi classic THE LAST STARFIGHTER! This staple of 80s childhoods everywhere centers on Alex Rogan, your typical teenager who dreams of escaping his humdrum life with his girlfriend, Maggie. But when his plan falls apart and a brand-new arcade game enters his life, he finds himself not only leaving his trailer park, but the planet itself to fight in an intergalactic battle against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada! With cutting edge for its time CGI animation, THE LAST STARFIGHTER is a classic entry into the cannon of sci-fi cinema and delivers on the dreams of kid everywhere!
Will the dated effects and "gland games" leave him behind? Or will Mr Kitty Kaiju find himself willingly recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada? Tune in this week to find out!

It's another fun trip down nostalgia lane with CAR RAYROB, but on this episode of HELLO MOVIES, MY OLD FRIEND, Ray and Rob look at what they've been told is the most pressing issue in modern American life, boy is girls sports! To aide their dissection, they are going to revisit the 1992 sports comedy LADYBUGS. It stars the late/great Rodney Dangerfield (BACK TO SCHOOL, CADDYSHACK) as Chester Lee, a hardworking salesman who is desperate to impress his boss and land the big promotion. When he's offered the opportunity to coach the company's girls soccer team (a sport he knows nothing about), he enlists the help of his fiancée's son Matthew to help him put together a winning season. Co-starring Jonathan Brandis (SEAQUEST DSV, THE NEVERENDING STORY II) and Vinessa Shaw (HOCUS POCUS, 3:10 TO YUMA), LADYBUGS tackles the notion of winning at all costs and finding your self-confidence in the face of perilous odds.
Join Ray and Rob as they not only dissect this movie, but the way modern society can use pop culture to weaponize concepts beyond rationale understanding.
Will Rodney Dangerfield's classic wit still ring true after all these years? Or will the concept unpinning this sport comedy fail on and off the field? Tune in this week to find out!

Greetings to all out there in Car RayRob Land! We're back with another great episode of SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM! It's Ray's episode this week and he recently realized he'd been bringing the heavy for the last few months. So, he decided to lighten things up with the buddy road trip dramedy A WALK IN THE WOODS!
This tale of reconnecting friendships stars the powerhouse duo of Robert Redford (ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT) and Nick Nolte (CAPE FEAR, 48 HRS) as Bill Bryson and Stephen Katz, two former friends who come back together to fulfil Bill's wish of hiking the Appalachian Trail. As Bill struggles to push through and Bill struggles to keep up, the two must find what made them friends to begin with the complete the journey they've set before them. With a supporting cast including Kristen Schaal (BOB'S BURGERS, 30 ROCK) and Emma Thompson (LOVE ACTUALLY, HOWARD'S END), this take on the classic road trip movie warms the soul and tickles the funny bone.
Will the dynamite cast prove to be an easy stroll for Rob? Or will the characters true natures leave him out in the snow? Tune in to find out!

Car RayRob is back with another episode of their brand-new podcast A COPY OF A COPY! The first went so well, we've decided to keep it going! For this episode, Ray and Rob are looking at another way remakes are being made these days and that's the musical! More and more traditional features are being reimagined in the Broadway style, so to explore this growing phenomenon, Ray and Rob have zeroed in the John Waters classic HAIRSPRAY! Ray has a checkered past with the Pope of Trash, but the success of both the original and the musical beg for the Car RayRob magnifying glass!
In both, the story centers on Tracy Turnblad (Ricki Lake in 88 and Nikki Blonsky in 2007), a Baltimore teen who dreams of being on the local dance sensation The Corny Collins Show! Not fitting the traditional mold of beauty, Tracy faces strong headwinds in the form of Amber, the queen bee of the dance floor and her cadre of "cool kids" who rule the show and look down on outsiders. When she shoots for the moon much to the chagrin of her mother Edna (Divine in 1988 and John Travolta in 2007), she finds surprise allies and the push towards the fight for racial equality in 1960s America.
Does the distinct John Waters flair translate well to the Broadway stage? Or does the style leave it feeling overproduced and lifeless? Tune in this week to find out!

Happy Pride Month! On this week's SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM, Rob is celebrating the occasion by recommending to Ray the classic LGTBQ romantic comedy BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER! This heartfelt love story stars the always amazing Natasha Lyonne (POKER FACE, RUSSIAN DOLL) as Megan Bloomfield, a teenage cheerleader who is confronted by her friends and family due to what they believe to be "lesbian behavior". In response, her parents send Megan to True Directions, a conversion therapy center run by the Mary Brown, played by the tour de force, Cathy Moriarty (SOAPDISH, RAGING BULL). With supporting performances by Clea Duvall (GIRL, INTERRUPTED, THE HANDMAID'S TALE), Melanie Lynskey (YELLOWJACKETS, HEAVENLY CREATURES) and a rare non-drag performance by RuPaul (AJ AND THE QUEEN, RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE), This journey of self-discovery and acceptance is a heartfelt call to all who feel like they don't belong and all who need to know that there is more than one way to live!
Will the initial mixed response to BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER prove true for Ray? Or will the cult following that has grown over the years lure Ray in? Tune in this week to find out!

For our May Episode of HELLO MOVIES, MY OLD FRIEND, Ray and Rob are revisiting a classic from their childhood, the 1990 martial arts sports drama, BEST OF THE BEST. This was a staple of both of their youths but a film they haven't revisited in roughly 30 years!
This drama is set around a team of American Martial artists lead by Tommy Lee (played by the films writer/producer Philip Rhee) and Alex Grady, portrayed by one of film's renowned journeyman, Eric Roberts (THE DARK KNIGHT, THE EXPENDABLES). As the team gears up to take on the unstoppable force of the Korean National team, the ghosts of their past and toxic interpersonal relationships threaten to throw them off their path to prove they are truly the best of the best. With supporting performances by James Earl Jones (STAR WARS, COMING TO AMERICA) and the late Chris Penn (FOOTLOOSE, RESERVOIR DOGS), this martial arts staple explores what it takes to be a team and what you're willing to sacrifice to win.
Will the classic feels remind Ray and Rob that this movie really is the BEST OF THE BEST? Or will time have relegated this remembered classic to the dust bin of history? Tune in to find out!

It's Ray's turn this week on SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM and once again he's decided to bring the heavy! For his recommendation, he is going back to the 2006 Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language film, THE LIVES OF OTHERS! This Cold War period drama centers on Stasi Captain Gerd Wiesler played by Ulrich Muhe, who is assigned to surveil renowned playwright Georg Dreyman and his lover and prominent actress, Christa-Maria Sieland. As Wiesler grows more entangled in the lives of his targets, he begins to overlook the rebellious uprising unfolding before his very ears.
Will the heavy and political nature of this subject matter be enough to turn Rob off? Or will the lives of the characters draw him in? Tune in this week to find out!
