Happy Halloween! This week on Film Snuff, we release our own philosophical tome and craft an episode devoted to pretension, emotional depth, and the poignancy of mental illness. Actually, we have one long, hair-pulling rant about the 2001 film "Donnie Darko" for these crimes against good cinema. Because you just have to hate a movie that has its own creepy secret website.

The first rule of this podcast is: you do not pretend that this movie is good. The second rule of this podcast is: YOU DO NOT PRETEND THAT THIS MOVIE IS GOOD!

This week we tear down the 1999 cult film that's about a cult tearing down stuff, “Fight Club.”

We wonder why we used to like this movie so much when we were teenagers, why this movie thinks IKEA is quality furniture, whether Tim Burton only dated Helena Bonham Carter because she looks like Edward Scissorhands, and how hypocritical David Fincher and Brad Pitt—a couple of guys responsible for a ton of advertisements—are for making this major studio film that spews a message about anti-consumerism.

How this paper-thin road trip movie was nominated for Best Picture is beyond us. And how on earth did it *win* Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (for Alan Arkin)? We don’t know, but we’re quite mad about it. 

That’s right, this week we are taking down one of the all-time most overrated quirky comedies, “Little Miss Sunshine.” We discuss why beauty pageants aren’t illegal, who would ever care about the difference between the No. 1 and No. 2 Proust scholars in the world, our take on JonBenét Ramsey, and whether this is just a sequel to “National Lampoon's Vacation” or a prequel to “Breaking Bad.”

This beloved, zany flick starring Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro milks running jokes more than that male nurse Gaylord Focker milks cats. 

This week we wonder how “Meet the Parents” from the year 2000 could be so incredibly popular and loved by everyone, how it’s strangely a remake of a 1992 film, and how its cringe quota rivals many horror films. We also wonder why Focker would continue to put up with such emotional abuse, whether the dad is just romantically interested in his own daughter, if mom is actually being held captive, and who the [BLEEP] keeps cameras in the bathroom?

Take a deep breath. Remember, don't forget to breathe. Always breathe! Yes, this week we are snuffing out the 1984 film, "The Karate Kid." Not any of the sequels, but the first one. The original. And when we’re done with it, it’ll be extra crispy.

We break down this movie’s insane plot, over-the-top villains, and cheesy romantic relationship. Or relationships? Hmm. And we have so many questions, like why does Mr. Miyagi have so many cars if he doesn’t know how to drive, what’s with his magical ability to cure all injuries on the spot, and why do movies in the mid-'80s always have teenage boys hanging out with creepy, loner old men while nobody said anything about it?
