This time, Michael revisits Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, the 1989 science fiction comedy starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winters. And Frank isn’t so crazy about taking the bizarre trip through time.

In 1982, Blade Runner changed the way audiences looked at science fiction.

Now, for the first time, Frank Posillico sees the groundbreaking cult classic ahead of the upcoming sequel, Blade Runner 2049, set to be released later this year.

Frank Posillico dines on “Silence of the Lambs”, the classic 1991 crime thriller, for the first time. And he finds the tastes intoxicating.

"Night of the Comet" is a film we reviewed last year. It's a cult favorite and a fun bit of end of the world entertainment.
 
We revisited the film by having a lovely talk with actress Kelli Maroney, who plays Samantha Belmont the younger sister to Catherine Mary Stewart's Regina Belmont in the film. Warning, however - we don't talk nearly as much about "Night of the Comet" as you might expect, but cover much of Maroney's career as well as the film industry and what makes a cult classic a cult classic.

It's hard to find a film as sweet and innocent as Field of Dreams. So it's no surprise Frank Posillico had never seen it.

He’s the star of Steve Martin’s Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid.

And you never even knew he was there.

In a For the Love of Movies first, Michael Sheridan and Frank Posillico host the podcast’s first “interview” episode. Our guest, New York City-born actor and radio personality Matthew Laurance, shares his unique insight into the innovative 1982 comedy.

Who exactly did Laurance play? Well, you’ll have to listen to find out. But we will say he has parts in nearly every scene. You just didn’t know it was him.

And don’t forget to check out our episode from last year when we first discussed Dead Men.

Lisa: Did you get your promotion?
Johnny: Nah.
Lisa: You didn't get it, did you?

Some rooms are best left unentered.

The Room is one of those.

But that doesn’t stop Michael Sheridan and Frank Posillico. In a bit of role reversal, this week’s episode explores a film Michael has never seen, but Frank has.

The Room, a notoriously horrible film released in 2003, is the focus of this episode. To help discuss, resident The Room expert Meera Jagannathan joins them.

Grig: Steady. Don't fight the chair. Take your time. Watch your gun sight. Lead your targets. And above all, relax!
Alex Rogan: Terrific. I'm about to get killed a million miles from nowhere with a gung-ho iguana who tells me to relax.

The evolution of space epics from practical models to digital effects is never more evident in the 1984 classic, The Last Starfighter. The use of computer animation was never before done on this scale.

Does it hold up? Frank Posillico wasn’t very impressed, but host Michael Sheridan continues to hold the film in high regard. Find out why on this episode of For the Love of Movies podcast.

There is no relationship like the one you have with your mother.

For better or worse.

Frank Posillico and Michael Sheridan get personal as they explore the 1996 Albert Brooks comedy, Mother. In part because it's a very funny movie, but also in honor of the late Debbie Reynolds.
