On November 22, 1995, Martin Scorsese released one of the greatest gangster pictures ever made... For the second time...

'The Running Man' [1987] - CE Garcia, Gabe "The Calilobo," with guest host Ben Gonzalez.

On this episode we revisit the neon-soaked, one-liner-loaded survival game show satire, 1987's sci-fi action spectacle, 'The Running Man,' starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. From its razor-sharp satire of media and government to Arnie’s more than classic line deliveries, this film gives us more than enough to talk about.

'House of Wax' [2005] - Wackoe, CE Garcia & Gabe "The Calilobo," with Samantha Garcia.

Producer Samantha Garcia returns to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of 'House of Wax', the gory remake that turned mid-2000s pop culture into a horror show. A self-proclaimed defender of this very niche film, Samantha makes her case for why this film deserves more respect, while we dig into the fascinating reinvention of Paris Hilton, and the undeniably weird onscreen attraction between the film’s leads. It’s wax, it’s wild, and it’s way more interesting (and awkward) than we all remembe...

'Goodfellas' [1990] - Wackoe, CE Garcia & Gabe "The Calilobo," with Samantha Garcia.

"As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be..." a podcaster..? In celebration of the 35th anniversary of Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas, we’re going full Henry Hill and breaking our own rules with our longest episode to date! We spend nearly 2hrs of us obsessing over Ray Liotta’s cocaine-fueled paranoia, Joe Pesci’s unhinged antices, and Robert De Niro’s villianous gazes. And since family is everything, we've brought in one of our own (again!), film producer Samantha Garcia, who's fres...

'Donnie Brasco' [1997] - Wackoe, CE Garcia & Gabe "The Calilobo" with Ray Montano.

It's 'Mob Movie Month' and we’re talkin' 'Donnie Brasco' (1997), the movie where Johnny Depp goes undercover in the mob still looking like Johnny Depp, and Al Pacino plays the most low-energy gangster of his career, and it somehow weirdly works. It’s a tale of friendship, betrayal, and the kind of loyalty that makes you wonder if friends are worth dying for. Joining us is special guest Ray Montano, who will help us decide if 'Donnie Brasco' is a mob classic, or a really long cautionary tale a...

'Out of Sight' [1998] - Wackoe, CE Garcia & Gabe "The Calilobo."

In this episode we tackle Steven Soderbergh’s "Out of Sight" (1998), the smooth, stylish crime caper that helped make George Clooney a movie star, and, against all odds, convinced us that (the-artist-formerly-known-as) Jennifer Lopez could actually act... Yes, the same JLo responsible for a string of recent cinematic crimes turns in such a memorable performance here, that we’re forced to eat our words… at least for 90 minutes. Make a film recommendation for an upcoming episode! Thank you for ...

In this episdoe we break down Barry Sonnenfeld’s precision direction, the perfect casting, and how a movie about making movies somehow ended up being one of THE BEST movies ABOUT making movies ever made.

'Sinners' [2025] - Wackoe, CE Garcia & Gabe "The Calilobo."

"Sinners" (2025) is a period piece which spirals from slow-burn drama, into a vampire bloodbath in vain of Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez's 'From Dusk Till Dawn in its second half, and has taken the box office by storm since its release this April. Marking the third collaboration between Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan, and set in the sweltering atmosphere of the Mississippi Delta of the 1930's, Jordan plays dual roles as identical twin brothers caught in a web of family, gu...
