This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve are back in force to discuss 2003's The Last Samurai, a film that's like a meditation on honor, respect, and the fine art of not getting your head lopped off. Think of it as a cultural exchange program where the curriculum includes swordplay and soul-searching.
Join us as we discuss how the film attempts to contain the twin dragons of Tom Cruise's Nathan Algren and Kats -"Don't Call Me Mats" - umoto played masterfully by Ken Watanabe, the age old magic movie trope of overcoming substance addiction overnight, and finally we'll recognize Tony Goldwyn as perhaps one of the best underrated movie villains of all time?
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dare to look inward and overcome our self-loathing to explore themes of cultural assimilation, honor, and the time tested clash between tradition and modernity - time is a flat circle, etc.
This is a very good conversation.
Let's wax this honor-bound porpoise.

Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained.
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back special guest and friend of the show, Chris of the Mount Molehill podcast to raise the flag and rap about the new Oz Perkins joint setting the world on fire, Longlegs from 2024.
Join us as we discuss the Hollywood hype machine and new age marketing tactics employed by the film, did it need more or less Nic Cage, the Port Chester Whooping Crane, and ponder the question is Longlegs a continuation within the Phantasm cinematic universe?
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dance between the world of the real and the supernatural whilst we resist the pull of a hermeneutic spin cycle. And where in the heck is Reggie Bannister when you need him?
Let's wax this phantasmagorical porpoise.

Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained.
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve are proud to welcome back special guest and friend of the show,Ricky Ticky Randew from the Straight Chilling podcast, a man of profound insights and fellow found footage aficionado, to discuss the dread soaked manifestation of generational guilt and supernatural foreboding, Lake Mungo from 2008.
Join us as we discuss sleepwalking and night terrors, the deeply unsettling creep factor the film espouses via themes of depression, dread, and the inevitability of death and meander through some of our other greatest hits in the found footage subgenre such as the likes of Blair Witch, Noroi: The Curse and Creep - 1 and 2.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, soak in the cold and unforgiving waters of existential dread whilst traversing an outback setting with more twists and turns than you can shake a stick at.
No rules, just right.
Let's wax this down under porpoise.

Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained.
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve dip our toes into the world of international cinema by way of notre frere Michael Haneke and examine his darkly unnerving and palpably stoic French feature film, Caché from 2005.
Join us as we discuss allergies, niche South Korean horror titles that Steve has been deprived of, one of the most intense and disturbing depictions of suicide on film, and endure G-Baby's whinging about French first name spellings.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, lay dormant in the shadows while prying eyes lie in wait hoping to force out the hidden truths of the past and the sins of our youth in Caché.
Yeah we can do highbrow every now and again.
Let's wax this obscurci porpoise.

This week on Waxing the Porpoise G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve will attempt to unravel the mysteries, complexities, and emotional nuances of the somewhat forgotten gem, Devil in a Blue Dress from 1995 which stars none other than Denzel Washington, one of the most highly revered patron saints of this program.
Join us as we discuss 1940's post WW2 racial tensions in Los Angeles, pay our respects to Tom Sizemore and flashback to some of our favorite past roles of his, and finally Steve share with us a trifecta of Amazon reviews that will be sure to tickle your ok boomer bone.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, once again find themselves plunged into the depths of the silver screen as we attempt to avoid cinematic detours in post-war Los Angeles with the finesse and swagger only Denzel can bring.
Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins? One of the all time greats. Stand on it.
Let's wax this porpoise in a blue dress.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again dive deep into the murky waters of cinema and surface with insights sharper than a dorsal fin as we cover The Spanish Prisoner from 1997 - a rather interesting PG entry in David Mamet's filmography that unfolds like a meticulously orchestrated symphony that'll keep you guessing, but does it hit the right notes?
Join us as we discuss comedy gold by way of Ye, Steve enlightening G-Baby on "The D.E.N.N.I.S. System" and how it dovetails into this picture, the prospect of getting shanghai’ed in a foreign country, and alliteration notwithstanding, the downright diabolically discordant dialogue of this film.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, once again find themselves plunged into the depths of the silver screen. With the finesse of skilled mariners they attempt to glide through the intricate currents of this high-stakes confidence game - a mesmerizing spectacle that unfolds like an underwater chess match, where every move ripples with strategic intent and the waves of suspense lap at the shores of mystery.
For any Bone Thugs fans out there, on Crossroads is it "and I miss my Uncle Charles Jones" or "Charles y'all"?
Let's wax this buffaloed porpoise.
