Have Not Seen This88. Short Term 12 (2012) with Thomas MarianiRafe is joined by last-minute fill-in Thomas Mariani, who has previously discussed films ranging from Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story to Green Room to The Muppets Take Manhattan. This selection is unlike any of those others! Short Term 12 is a solid, rather harrowing drama - a far cry from the genre selections Thomas has brought before. It also may very well be Rafe's favorite movie that he's discovered through his own podcast, and a film that Rafe found a very deep emotional connection to. Listen as Rafe and Thomas discuss the film, Tubi as a streaming platform, and m...2023-01-261h 06

Have Not Seen This81. Green Room (2015) with Thomas MarianiWe're kicking off our "spooky season" a little late, but still starting with quite a bang. Thomas Mariani returns to the show for a fourth time to talk about Green Room, a movie that has the tragic status of being actor Anton Yelchin's final, and yet most promising, film. Put him up against Patrick Stewart as the head of a neo-nazi organization and even standing on opposite sides of a closed door the tension is palatable. Since it isn't a traditional "horror movie," Rafe and Thomas end up talking about their experience and opinions on what makes a movie a...2021-10-141h 05

Have Not Seen This75. The King of Comedy (1982) with Thomas MarianiThomas Mariani returns to the podcast. Previously we've talked about Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and The Muppets Take Manhattan. This time Rafe and Thomas talk about an underappreciated Martin Scorsese film, The King of Comedy, which was driven back into the spotlight a few years ago because of the film Joker. Just how much of an influence did Scorsese have on Todd Phillips's movie? Has Rafe come around on Robert De Niro yet? And how relevant is a satirical black comedy from the '80s today? We discuss all of this and more! Follow Rafe on Tw...2021-07-221h 06

Cinema To The Letter115: Kathryn Bigelow Gets to the Point Break at Zero Dark ThirtyGrab your surfboards and hang ten with Double Edged Double Bill! Adam Thomas and Thomas Mariani take a look at two films from eclectic director Kathryn Bigelow. First, Thomas' good pick of Point Break in which Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze have a sweaty action packed bromance on the beach. Then, Adam's bad pick of Zero Dark Thirty that has Jessica Chastain hunt down Osama Bin Laden in true procedural fashion. Together, our duo answers the important questions. Is Gary Busey ever really acting? Does every Italian watch The Sopranos? Which films will be chosen for next week's episode o...2020-07-141h 18

First up is Winter's Tale, a bad pick where eternal Colin Farrell fall in love while Russell Crowe as a Popeye demon chases after him! Then Sorry to Bother You, a good pick that takes Lakeith Stanfield through a surreal satiric journey with a mind blowing twist! Our trio has so many questions to answer...2020-01-071h 35

Cinema To The Letter86: The Irishman Finds Serenity In 20192019 is ending, but Double Edged Double Bill wants the last word!

First up is the bad pick Serenity, a thriller where Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway realize they may just be playthings in a boring game! Then, the good pick - as chosen by our listeners - The Irishman in which Martin Scorsese examines mob culture and reveals the sad lonely existence it leads to. So fun for the whole family!

Cinema To The Letter83: Holmes and Watson Investigate a Deathtrap MysteryThe game is afoot on Double Edged Double Bill! Inspector Thomas Mariani and Dr. Adam Thomas are on the case investigating two mystery films in honor of Knives Out. First is the bad film Holmes and Watson, a comedy that has mysteriously misplaced its laughs. Then the good film Deathtrap, which throws so many twists at us that one's neck may snap. This prompts our duo to ask many questions. What does Will Ferrell do with his career now? Does Batman run Halliburton? Which two films will they discuss on next week's Disney+ episode? Well stick around before a...2019-12-031h 09

Is Kevin Smith responsible for this show existing? Is there a...2019-09-241h 30

Now, Adam Thomas and Thomas Mariani are here to talk two films from this iconic year in cinema with special guest Lance Langford of The Horror Returns podcast! For the good feature, Adam picked Jim Jarmusch's Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai which features Forest Whitaker fighting the mob with a katana in the chillest way possible.

So in honor of her new film Where'd You Go Bernadette, Double Edged Double Bill hosts Adam Thomas & Thomas Mariani are covering a double bill of two films from her varied filmography. First up is Adam's bad pick Ocean's 8, the heist film spin off which sparks mild disagreement between our duo over how it qualifies for "bad." Then our discusses Thomas' good pick Hanna, the action/fairy tale that displays Cate's talents at deception, manipulation and unspecific Southern accents. So put on your most fabulous outfit and give it a lis...2019-08-131h 03

Together, our trio are stunned by the amount of puns they can dish out, are hor...2019-08-071h 04

Cinema To The Letter64: Quentin Tarantino Presents A Death Proof Jackie BrownQuentin Tarantino doesn't make films too often.

First up is their good pick Jackie Brown, which our trio praises as underrated and nuanced. Then, there's much debate over how bad their bad feature Death Proof is, a highly stylized tribute to 70s exploitation that may be too faithful to its influences.

Cinema To The Letter63: The Island of Dr. Highlander - Films Worth RemakingHollywood keeps remaking movies that don't need to be remade, like a photorealistic The Lion King remake we're getting this week. So, for this week's Double Edged Double Bill, Adam Thomas and Thomas Mariani are suggesting two films that would be worth a new take! First up is Highlander, the fantasy action film that Thomas argues could benefit from better action and less miscasting of Frenchmen playing Scottish. Then, Adam argues the 1996 version of The Island of Dr. Moreau has the definitive version of a classic story with a less ego & more empathy for animal/human hybrids. Together, our duo tr...2019-07-161h 08

Cinema To The Letter62: Goonies R Not Good Enough for Strange Days - Overrated vs Underrated Part DeuxAfter their last excursion into the world of overrated & underrated cinema, Adam Thomas & Thomas Mariani are returning to spark controversy with their hot takes on Double Edged Double Bill yet again! This time, the duo is joined by guest Desmond Peel of the Desmond's Flicks Podcast and YouTube channel for this strange randomly decided double header.

Then, Thomas' overrated choice of The Goonies, which will likely send an angry mob of '80s kid...2019-07-091h 24

Cinema To The Letter61: Replicas of Us in 2019 So Far2019 has hit the halfway mark and Double Edged Double Bill is celebrating with a good and not-so-good film from the first six months of the year! First up, Adam Thomas' bad pick that the listeners voted for is Replicas, the Keanu Reeves film from 2019 no one wants to bring up in his modern Keanu-ssance. Then, our good feature that was Thomas Mariani's choice is Jordan Peele's second feature Us, in which Lupita Nyong'o leads a strong double header cast to scary heights. Together, Adam & Thomas wonder how Keanu relates to today's Cardi B obsessed youth, highlight the aristocratic nature of...2019-07-021h 07

Cinema To The Letter57: 50 Shades of Evil Within Troubled ProductionsMaking films can be rough. Budgets inflate, personalities clash, directors are on meth. Movie magic doesn't come easy. That is exactly what Adam Thomas and Thomas Mariani are dissecting this week on Double Edged Double Bill! This week, in honor of X-Men: Dark Phoenix shambling to theaters following a delays & reshoots, it's all about films with troubled productions.

Then our "bad" feature is the highly divisive Iron...2019-04-301h 28

Cinema To The Letter51: Escape from Inside Llewyn Davis: A Redemption SongBy the very nature of Double Edged Double Bill's format - in which Adam Thomas and Thomas Mariani each have two films & have one from those pairs selected as the good and bad portion of a double feature - many potential films from previous episodes are left by the wayside. Given they've passed the 50 episode mark, our duo has decided to give two previous losers of the draw a chance at the spotlight. First the good feature is Inside Llewyn Davis, Thomas' alternative choice from their Coen Brothers episode. Then the bad feature is Escape from L.A., Adam's al...2019-04-231h 04

Cinema To The Letter46: Nothing But PrestigeAre you watching closely? Do you see double? Well, you certainly are seeing Double Edged Double Bill's new episode! Given Jordan Peele's new film Us is coming out this week, Adam Thomas and Thomas Mariani are covering a double header of films where actors play multiple roles. Our good film is Christopher Nolan's The Prestige, in which both Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale play dual roles while dueling with each other in the world of stage magic. Then, our bad feature is Nothing But Trouble, in which Dan Aykroyd directs himself and John Candy in multiple roles for an uni...2019-03-191h 20

Cinema To The Letter39: Avatar of the Hunter - Overrated vs. UnderratedWhile the picks on Double Edged Double Bill tend to be subjective, we've reached a new level with this week's episode. Adam Thomas and Thomas Mariani have each picked a film they consider overrated and underrated respectively. The first film is Thomas' underrated film The Night of the Hunter, the 1955 thriller that inspired many a filmmaker yet isn't well known by the general public. Then, the discussion turns to Adam's overrated pick Avatar, the massive highest grossing movie of all time... that's left little cultural impact. Plus, where RL Stine ripped off his story structure, the supervillain origin story of...2019-01-291h 08

Cinema To The Letter38: Star Trek - Wrath of GenerationsThis week, our captains Adam Thomas and Thomas Mariani are going where no man has gone before: the Star Trek film franchise!

Beaming aboard is returning guest and actual Trekker Kaycee Jarrard who will school Adam and Thomas as they venture into this double bill. First is the good feature Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, which may be so good that it broke the potential of all Trek films to follow. Then, our bad feature is Star Tr...2019-01-221h 14

Cinema To The Letter34: Fatal GoldmemberDouble Edged Double Bill is getting super serious about silliness for the last episode of 2018! Adam Thomas, Thomas Mariani and returning guest Heather Thomas are here to laugh with and at two spoof films in "honor" of the Will Ferrell vehicle Holmes and Watson in theaters! First up is our good feature Fatal Instinct, where comedy legend Carl Reiner takes the early 90s erotic thriller genre down a peg. Then our trio settles in for the bad feature Austin Powers In Goldmember, where Mike Myers mugs as four characters for the third entry in the comedy franchise. All this plus...2018-12-231h 14

Cinema To The Letter27: Barton Fink, You Ladykiller - A Coen Brothers FilmNeed a Coen fix? We got you, Brothers. In honor of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs coming to Netflix soon, Double Edged Double Bill is doing an episode about the Coen Brothers. Our good feature is 1991's Barton Fink, in which every genre blends together as a writer gets writer's block. Our bad feature is their 2004 remake of The Ladykillers, which may not be as bad as some say, though it leaves a lot to be desired. Adam Thomas and Thomas Mariani appreciate all of the Coen Brothers nuances displayed in both films, but also examine how Joel and Ethan...2018-11-061h 10
