It’s May, which means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Mayhem” series! Where we cover movies that kick ass in the literal sense! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss Michael Mann’s “night on the town with a hitman” action-thriller, Collateral!

The city of Los Angeles presented as a supporting character! Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise in two of their best roles! Twists and turns! Early digital cinematography that grounds you in the “reality” of the story! Shocking, sudden violence! Improvisation that even the most accomplished jazz musician couldn’t see coming! A “frenemy” action thriller that ponders the pitfalls of rumination and perfectionism, in what may be a shockingly good double feature with Michael Bay’s Ambulance! Dark, empty streets and subway stations have never looked so good!

In addition, Tim recommends 1978’s Mr. No Legs before he’s even seen it! While Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Backdraft, Mute Witness, and what could end up being his favorite movie of 2024, The Fall Guy!

It’s May, which means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Mayhem” series! Where we cover movies that kick ass in the literal sense! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss 2009’s chaotic jolt of adrenaline in movie form, Crank: High Voltage!

Over the top action and visuals! A surprise kaiju battle! Disgusting sound effects! Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite! Cameos for fans of the Spice Girls, Linkin Park, Tool, and Nine Inch Nails! Jason Statham fully committing to complete lunacy! Amy Smart giving a fearless performance and delivering one of the most satisfying short fight scenes in movie history! A movie that takes (often insane and offensive) chances, coming off like a movie adaptation of a video game released by Troma! For better or worse, there’s no other movie quite like it!

In addition, Tim and Matt share their spoiler-free thoughts on Late Night with the Devil, while Alex talks about Abigail, 2019’s Charlie’s Angels, 1993’s The Fugitive, and Kurt Russell’s 1997 nailbiter, Breakdown!

It’s April, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “No EscApril” series, where we celebrate the wonder of thrillers! Not quite horror, not quite action, that sweet spot in the middle where danger is afoot, and lives are still on the line! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss Alfred Hitchock’s mistaken-identity mystery thriller, North by Northwest!

Possibly the most iconic gray suit in movie history! Classic filmmaking techniques and visual effects! A cornucopia of fantastic mid-century design and fashion, featuring the work of legendary artist Saul Bass! Cary Grant being surprisingly charming while running away from an airplane! Eva Marie Saint as an early archetype for the modern femme fatale! A fun, punchy script full of twists and suspense! A movie that not only created the template for the James Bond series, but also influenced countless other movies, such as Catch Me If You Can and Total Recall (we think)!

In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Civil War and Law Abiding Citizen!
