You Watched It Wrong

Cannonball! [aka Carquake] (1976)

Why should a cannonball run when it can fly! Well this Cannonball doesn't do that either, but it is our second straight entry starring David Carradine, perhaps best known for not lending his voice to never-produced Saturday morning cartoon "Kill Bill's Wacky Racers." 

 

Death Race 2000 (1975)

Our Wacky Races series continues with its nastiest entry... but maybe its most cerebral? ... with the Roger Corman/Paul Bartel drive-in classic, DEATH RACE 2000.

Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies (1969)

Also known as Monte Carlo or Bust!, the fourth entry in our WACKY RACES series places your two favorite hosts back into cinematic care of director Ken Annakin in this follow up to Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines. As Annakin brings the racing action from the sky down to the ground, will the movie have scenes that affect the rest of the movie in any way? Will this comedy have actual humor in it this time? Will it again barely tolerate its own stated themes of Women's Liberation? Find out by listening to the episode! That's how it works! 

Next Episode: DEATH RACE 2000 (1975)

The Great Race (1965)

An epic race deserves an epic episode, so Wade and Siggy are here to throw 4,000 pies in your ear. We may not have spent as much as Blake Edwards did on 1965's The Great Race, but we take at least as many detours, including bizarre and slanderous Hollywood rumors, great sweater-wearing action heroes, and some speculation about what exactly was happening under that blanket. Hit the play button, Max!

Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (1965)

This second entry in the WACKY RACES mini-series tests the mettle of your intrepid hosts by barely qualifying for this series' criteria and barely being a comedy. Siggy provides the much needed context to place this film into the larger cinema history and significance, while Wade wrestles with his sense of self as an open-hearted cinephile which is profoundly challenged by this film. 

Next Episode: THE GREAT RACE (1965)

It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963)

We kick off our Wacky Races miniseries with the seminal, star-studded, stunt-stuffed spectacular that started it all, Stanley Kramer's comedy epic It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. It's a race to see if the movie or the podcast contains more actual jokes!

Announcing a new Miniseries: Wacky Races

Wade and Siggy are embarking on a new, epic journey through the subgenre of wacky race movies, and they hope you'll come along for the ride. We'll go from It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, through various incarnations of The Cannonball Run, and all the way to Rat Race, hitting some more obscure entries in between. It's gonna be a fun year if the wheels don't fall off first!

The Northman (2022) / Lamb (2021)

Wade and Siggy wax cinemasophical about two movies co-written by Sjón: 2021's Lamb and 2022's The Northman. They also mourn Wade’s never-coming very special episode on the Death Wish movies, discuss Siggy’s theories on Dirty Harry, Master of the Universe’s love of hyphens, how watching Body Double far too young affects people, their desire to see "Bob Egger’s Northman Babies" come to fruition and a recounting of a classic never-filmed episode of Wade & Siggy's never-filmed film series.  All that in HALF our usual run time!!!

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

Wade and Siggy were so excited to talk about the latest Sam Raimi/MCU collab/collision that they couldn't wait to get to their respective studios, so eavesdrop on this phone call (phone call!) where they discuss straining to look smart, alternate movie titles, and where this ranks in the Cloaky filmography.

You Awarded It Wrong (2022)

Siggy & Wade attempt a new format to discuss the year in film that was 2021... and they're never doing it this way again! So enjoy it now, as it's the upside-down plane/misprinted stamp of year-end review shows!
