    How much Dune is too much Dune? We're fixing to find out this March on Maximum Film! We're starting with the 1984 Lynch/Dino De Laurentiis space opera that was a theatrical flop, yet remains an enduring (cult?) classic. Then we'll pitch some outside-the-box auteur/book series pairings to fantasize about.

    Today's movie takes on the guise of a weird '80s teen comedy, then adds in some supernatural phenomena and some axes. So we consult THE JV CLUB's Janet Varney on the peculiarities of Lisa's high school experience, and then make up some Monster Mash-up movies of our own.

    Episode 332: 'The Iron Claw' with Danielle Radford

    Based on the tragic real-life story of the wrestling family known professionally as the Von Erichs (liberties were taken, but most of them seem to have tamped the sheer tragedy down somewhat, rather than the other way around), The Iron Claw has been anxiously anticipated by some wrestling fans. Fans like our guest, Danielle Radford, who co-hosts Tights and Fights! After discussing the movie where actors played some real-life wrestlers, we dish about our favorite wrestlers-turned actors.

    Episode 321: 'Killers of the Flower Moon' & Its Handsome Devils

    The hosts of Maximum Film! don't have all the answers, but they do have their own answer to the questions "What if I drank 10 glasses of water before seeing a 206-minute movie?" "Is it okay for a movie to be 206 minutes long?" and "What directors and actors do you want to see work together for 206 minutes or more?" These and many more answers await in our KILLER OF THE FLOWER MOON episode (which clocks in at a mere 68 minutes).
