Dart Board Movie Night
Welcome to Dart Board Movie Night! The podcast where we put 20 movies up on a board, throw a dart at it, and let the fates decide. Follow along with us as we uncover hidden gems, rediscover old classics, and explore the odd corners of the film world, all guided by the tip of a dart. Hosted by Drew Clark and Jared Given.

This week, as we kick off the spooky season, we're covering the most recent release in DBMN history with Edgar Wright's LAST NIGHT IN SOHO (#14 on the board), starring Thomasin McKenzie and Ana Taylor-Joy. We were somewhat split on this one, but its well worth checking out this season as you get in the mood. Atmospheric, sexy, and thrilling.

We're heading back to the 1950s this week to cover what some would consider to be the main contender to CITIZEN KANE as the greatest film of all time. This week we're talking Alfred Hitchcock's VERTIGO (#11 on the board), starring Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak. Check it out and see where you think it stands among the great films of all time!

This week we're covering another debut film from the year 1996 (go check out our episode on BOUND for the first of these), made by one of the most important filmmakers of his generation, Wes Anderson. It's BOTTLE ROCKET (#16 on the board). Its not just Anderson's debut either, as this film introduced the world to his childhood friends and collaborators Owen and Luke Wilson. A sweet little film that is well worth your time, not just for the historical context.

This week the dart landed on a movie from Martin Scorsese that seems to get overlooked a bit in his filmography. It's THE KING OF COMEDY (#14 on the board), starring Robert DeNiro, Jerry Lewis, and Sandra Bernhard. For any fans of Todd Phillips' JOKER, this is a must watch, as its incredible just how much that film ripped this one off to far lesser effect.

The name's Lazenby. George Lazenby. This week we are discussing George's first and only outing as James Bond in ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE (#19 on the board). Featuring the coolest "Bond Girl" of the series in Diana Rigg, arguably the baddest Blofeld in Telly Savalas, and some of the best action set pieces of the entire series, this one is not to be missed for anyone who appreciates a good spy flick.

This week we're covering an indie-arthouse classic from an artist who put everything on the line to make his films. It's John Cassavettes' THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE (#18 on the board). Finally back to one of the original dartboard selections, this one challenged us and makes for one of the more impenetrable films we've ever covered. If you despise the fluff of normal Hollywood filmmaking, this might get your attention, as it breaks ALL the rules.

Drew gets to nerd out on his love of vampire movies this week as we're covering LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (#16 on the board), by Swedish filmmaker Tomas Alfredson. Bloody snow, dismembered corpses, and swarming cats galore in this one!

We're tapping into our inner scum-bum this week with Alex Cox's 1984 film REPO MAN (#17 on the board). We were divided on this one but anyone who is a fan of anarchic cinema with a mind of its own will find plenty to love here.

This week on the podcast we dig into Robert Downey Sr.'s absurd comedy PUTNEY SWOPE (#16 on the board), one of the original 20 dart board additions. If you think Old Spice commercials from 10 years ago created their own style, watch this movie and think again. This movie has a vibe entirely its own, bouncing from bit to bit with reckless abandon. If you are a comedy nerd, this is a must watch.
