In the pantheon of great child performances, Jamie Bell as Billy Elliot has to be in anybody’s Top 10. But there’s so much more to it that just a boy who wants to dance.

Best know for the Mad Max franchise and being the creative force behind the Babe movies, George Miller’s background in medicine made him an ideal candidate to take a inspiring medical drama and turn it into one of the most harrowing films of the early 90s!
Ah 1994’s Disclosure; the movie that finally answers the question: What if women in power treated men the way men in power treat women? Answer: Something about virtual reality I think? But esteemed lady experts @26hrcharleston.bsky.social and @alextthomas.bsky.social help sort things out!
The Animosity Twin return to dole out more grief! @26hrcharleston.bsky.social and @alextthomas.bsky.social opine on the neo-noir, loser detective gem, Kid Detective!
If ever a movie was Screwballmaxing or Comedy-pilled it would be Noises Off; an absolute joyous madcap love letter to screwball comedies old and new. You also get to hear Devin say “farthing penny.”
Sad movies, millennial optimism, twee culture, and oh yeah Gentlemen Broncos! We cover a lot of ground on this weeks ep of Dirty Dozen!
We just bought our longtime building! Purchasing our forever home marks an exciting and transformative turning point for our physical media library and Seattle’s creative ecosystem.
We cannot wait to share more exciting updates with you in the months ahead! scarecrowvideo.org/posts/scarec...
Steven Seagal, DMX, and a hip hop needle drop at every opportunity; add in a bunch of thankless roles for ladies and you have 2001’s action masterpi…. action movie, Exit Wounds!
Any damsel that's in distress be out of that dress when she meet Jim West! That’s right, it was never matter of “if” we would cover 1999’s blockbuster calamity Wild Wild West, but rather “when”. And that when is now! So fire up your jet packs, squeeze your seed, and get ready to hear us agonize!
Devin’s LB wrap up showing his age
2025 was a wild year for Matt
Devin’s own personal New Year’s resolution is to become the #1 review on @letterboxd.social for A River Runs Through It an I for one think we can make this happen! Click the link below to “like” his review and make 2026 a year Devin will cherish!
We’re also want to hear from YOU, the listenership, on any thoughts or opinions you might have. And if you want Devin and Matt to finally put the Men in Black debacle to rest, chime in on SpeakPipe and let us know!
We’d also like to thank all the guests who were kind enough to join us as we got this pod off the ground

2025 has ended, 2026 has begun which means Devin and Matt have resolutioned each other a new dirty dozen films to watch this calendar year. We break down which films we’ll be watching in this surprise bonus ep!
Our last ep of the year might just be our tastiest! 2023’s The Taste of Things is for anyone who loves the sight of delicious foods being prepared, honeyed cinematography, and immaculately crafted films.
The good doctor @26hrcharleston.bsky.social provided a lovely voice note that got our conversational juices flowing; we’d love to hear from more our listeners and get their thoughts, feelings, and feedback which you can do by clicking the link below and sending us a little message!
I wish you talked about Kim Basinger with the same fervor you do for audio engineering.
What else? 😇
Truthfully, this might be favorite ep to date -MF
Devin’s sexual and culinary timidity collide with Matt’s lust for disgusting on-screen sex and Francophobia on the simultaneously under-appreciated yet rightfully maligned 9 1/2 Weeks!
The second part of my appearance on the Dirty Dozen Movie Podcast is about Powell & Pressburger’s A Matter of Life and Death. Which is really not anything like a Baby Assassins movie at all.
Two of the biggest thinkers of their generation (no, not Devin and Matt), British directing duo Powell & Pressburger dazzled audiences a breathtaking sense of scope, color, and technical wizardry. And we’re fortunate to have @theendofcinema.bsky.social back to provide much appreciated insight.
@theendofcinema.bsky.social was kind enough for to join us for a Baby Assassins, a scrappy Japanese action flick where two young women realize that teamwork is what makes the dream work (the dream of being an assassin).
It's been awhile, but I've podcasted again, appearing on @dirtydozenpod.bsky.social to talk about, of course, Baby Assassins

Joined by Dr Mimi Chang, we cover this pre-war classic. The oldest movie in our repertoire affords Matt the opportunity to make the most ‘Devin is old’ jokes yet!
Rumored to be Malcom X’s favorite film, 1964’s Nothing But a Man chronicles the hardships faced daily by black Americans in the era before the Civil Rights movement kicked into high gear. A tough but rewarding watch for anyone interested in the African American experience.
