Messed Up Movies

We drafted the most messed up movies featured in the upcoming book All The Right Movies: The Stories and Secrets Behind the Making of 25 Iconic Films — and we brought in the man behind it: John Barker of All The Right Movies Podcast.
Griffey, Heath and Sam welcome John on the pod for a battle over some of the greatest, strangest, nastiest, most unforgettable movies ever made. We're talking blockbusters, cult classics, stone-cold masterpieces. These are the most essential movies of our time, so the knives are out!

Today Griffey and Dandino hop a jet to a billionaire nightmare in Blink Twice. They cut into the film's weaponization of real world rationalizations often used to defend scumbags, how the movie uses time and repitition to keep the audience entranced just like the ladies, and the epic finale where evil is unmasked and tossed on a short leash. This is a modern Messed Up classic that we hope you enjoy with us. 
Synopsis: When tech billionaire Slater King meets cocktail waitress Frida at his fundraising gala, he invites her to join him and his friends on a dream vacation on his private island. As strange things start to happen, Frida questions her reality.
Starring: Naomi Ackie, Channing Tatum, Alia Shawkat, Christian Slater, Haley Joel Osment, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Geena Davis, Kyle MacLachlan
Directed by Zoë Kravitz

Synposis: Two friends find themselves caught up in mayhem involving killers, monsters and supernatural creatures once again.
Starring: Marlon Wayans, Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Carmen Electra, Dave Sheridan
Directed by Michael Tiddes

It was one of the most messed up times in modern history... Vietnam, Watergate and a tidal wave of transgressive cinema that said, "I'm not gonna take it anymore!" Griffey, Sam, Heath and Dandino try on their bellbottoms and battle over the MOST messed up movies of the 1970s!
From indisputable classics like Jaws and Alien to sneaky favorites like The Wicker Man, this decade basically invented the modern horror film (hello, Halloween). We love the smell of a movie draft in the morning... Smells like victory.
Who drafted the best team? Who reached too early? And which movie got completely robbed? Drop your favorite messed up 70s movie in the comments and tell us who won the draft.

Today Dandino gifts Griffey a movie that has aged like Old Cow Milk on a hot summer day, Someone Like You. They dig into the film's Old Cow Theorum of modern relationships, the insane decisions Ashley Judd must suffer from the scipt, and whether saddling up to a man like Hugh Jackman is bound to end in a Bronco Busting. This is an odd film that begs the question, WHY? so many times it must be seen. 
Synopsis: After being jilted by her boyfriend, a talk show talent scout writes a column on the relationship habits of men which gains her national fame.
Starring: Ashley Judd, Greg Kinnear, Hugh Jackman, Marisa Tomei, Ellen Barkin
Directed by Tony Goldwyn
