Don’t Be Crazy

9 to 5 (1980)

Hello everyone. Have y’all ever questioned if La La Land deserved to be nominated for Best Picture? Or debated if Quentin Tarantino is actually overrated? Or perhaps challenged others by asking is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Here on the Don’t Be Crazy movie podcast we ask these questions and more with the help of fellow film enthusiasts. Who’s we? I’m Zach Rancourt and with me today is Amanda Jane Stern. We might not be certified film critics or have our own column in The New Yorker, but the only thing we love more than cinema is talking about it.
"What are you, a man or a mouse? I mean, a woman or a wouse?" On this episode we are discussing the 1980 classic 9 to 5 starring Lilly Tomlin, Dolly Parton, and Jane Fonda. When a make believe/real life revenge plot goes awry, three under-appreciated working women must work together for the betterment of the workplace and to avoid jail time. All the while and most troublesome, they have to deal with their abhorrant boss Mr. Hart.

Wan't Evil supposed to die about four years ago? Welp, either way, strap in as Jon and Zach discuss the brand new (and final) Michael Myers saga Halloween Ends. The trailer for this movie looks amazing, but the movie itself.....it's a movie, I guess. Despite the bad early reviews, is there some gold to be found in this movie?

Time for some good old fashioned anarchy. In the then distant future that is 2022, the government has made all crimes legal for 12 hours. Instead of stealing some fancy cars or cheating at gambling, everyone has decided to start killing. 2013's The Purge provided a fascinating and disturbing idea for a not so distant future that mirrored our society as it stood. Ideas are great and all, but how do they hold up for an entire film?

So is this a movie based off a movie based off a book based off another book? On this episode I enlist the help of film savant Amanda Stern to discuss the 1999 remake The Haunting. Starring Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta Jones, this CGI mess follows a group of insomniacs staying in a haunted Hill House mansion in an effort to study fear. All is not as it seems as the house, turns out, doesn't really like people snooping around! Spooky indeed. Tune in to see what Zach and Amanda have to say (or laugh at) about this unique film.
