  • Forbidden Cinema 130 - Beetlejuice - Going Deeper
    Jan 13 2025

    Ok, we will be the first to admit that this has been a little delayed. This last year has been our year personally, but we have fallen a little behind in this artistic side project. If you can read this, you are loved. In this episode we answer the questions that nobody thought to ask about our coverage of Beetlejuice. As usual, Zack delves deep into what was going on in pop culture at the time and deep dives local newspapers and men's magazines.

    Nov 11 2024

    Join us as we continue through our coverage of movies that were forbidden (or in this case, maybe should have been) that have had recent upgrades, remakes, or sequels.

    Ok, we have made some recommendations in the past, but this is top 3 one of the best movies we have covered. If you haven't seen it in 35 years (like both of us), go out and immediately watch it. We will wait for you. Then join us as we go full nostalgia and revel in this masterpiece.

  • Forbidden Cinema 128 - Beverly Hills Cop - Going Deeper
    Oct 14 2024

    Welcome back as we answer the questions that nobody bothered to ask about our our episode covering the 1984 classic buddy cop action comedy, Beverly Hills Cop. Zack tries to figure out who Eddie Murphy was and how big of a star he was in 1984 (spoiler alert: HUGE). We dig into the numbers and discuss how this is one of the most successful movies ever made. We also look at the very limited number of roles for women in this film.

    We talk about how Mythbusters ripped this movie a new tailpipe and go over the reviews of the time.

    Zack digs into newspapers and men's magazines from December of 1984 to discover a Christmas shrimp sale at the Holiday Motel, the Supreme Court hearing a case about the morning moment of silence at schools, a nude pictorial of Suzanne Somers, an article by Steve Martin, Alec Guinness as the spokes model for a tuxedo designer, a 4 color graphing typewriter, a 2-inch flat-screen TV, and pictorials of Lee Major's wife and daughter.
