In the third Linklater entry in our 'Richards' miniseries, we've come across the beginning to a personal favorite franchise of Jack and Alex's. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy act real romantic and we uhhhh, talk about it! Intro music by Alex Brinkman

The boys continue down their Richards miniseries by going further down the Richard Linklater mini-miniseries with perhaps one of his most widely acclaimed pictures and one that both hosts have quite a fondness for, the 1970s partygoing, coming-of-age film, DAZED AND CONFUSED! Not that there's too much that has yet to be said about this movie, but we dive into what makes this different from similar movies that came after it, the realism of the scenes, and we see just how good it is to get yourself Dazed and Confused while watching it with another patented Zooted Off Movies drinking game. Check it out! Intro music is by Alex Brinkman

Following up on our RICHARD miniseries, we crack off another sub-miniseries this week with the """first""" Richard Linklater film, SLACKER! (We know that there's another one now, but sure as hell did not at the time of recording) This movie that inspired the likes of Kevin Smith, carries a free-flowing, conversational vibe, never spending too long with one character and constantly shifting throughout different parts of Austin, Texas. And well, all the characters in it are at least a little bit insane. Listen for discussion on the form, Linklater's later filmography, and one of the crown jewels of the podcast, the patented ZOOTED OFF MOVIES DRINKING GAME! *crowd cheers* Intro music is by Alex Brinkman

This week, the boys begin a brand new journey with some distance from previous miniseries...we are beginning a journey through the minds of Richards. As two individuals that began their true film obsessions with this film bro staple, Jack and Alex are discussing 2001's DONNIE DARKO, directed by Richard Kelly and starring a number of familiar faces, fronted by of course, Jake Gyllenhaal. Listen for some honest discussion of a movie that means a lot to both hosts but is out of its prime, and listen even further for Jack's insane read on this movie. Check it out!

The boys get zooted off religion alongside the newest A24 horror/EPIX ORIGINAL release, the full length directorial debut of Rose Glass, SAINT MAUD. We dive fully into all of the most terrifying aspects of this religious obsession and well, religious obsessions overall! Intro music by Alex Brinkman

Jack and Alex get back together to close out the Spectrevision series yet again. In an entry in the superhero subversion series, sitting prominently next to 2008s HANCOCK, we have Adam Egypt Mortimer's follow-up to DANIEL ISN'T REAL in the Joe Manganiello starring alien superhero film ARCHENEMY! Join us for Paul Scheer talk round 2 and some more visions of spectres! Intro music by Alex Brinkman

This week, Jack and Alex discuss the 2020 A24/Appletv+ hybrid release, Sofia Coppola's ON THE ROCKS. We talk about Bill Murray, infidelity, and all that other shit that you do when you're rich and charismatic. Check it out! Intro music is by Alex Brinkman

In another episode covering 2020 film releases, Jack and Alex discuss the Andy Samberg/Cristin Milotti riff on Groundhog Day, PALM SPRINGS. Listen to hear all about which aspects do and do not work, Conner O'Malley, and why we personally think the movie works. Intro music by Alex Brinkman

This week, continuing in the discussion of notable 2020 film releases, Jack and Alex get zooted off their own slowly melting away senses of being, with the Brandon Cronenberg sci-fi thriller, POSSESSOR. This mind-swap assassination plot is an absolute trip, and we get to talk about what it has to say about consent, dissociation, and melty face special effects. Check it out!

In the first, real, legitimate, Zooted Off Movies episode, we dive into our 2020 miniseries in discussing the best films that that shitshow of a year had to offer. This is starting off with Leigh Whanell's THE INVISIBLE MAN, a psychological sci-fi horror movie centered around Elisabeth Moss dealing with the fallout of escaping her horrifying, abusive relationship with an invisibility discovering Oliver Jackson-Cohen. This movie rules. We also have a drinking game to go along with the trauma. Check it out! Intro music is by Alex Brinkman
