What 2 Guys 5 Movies is All About
Hi, all! 2 Guys 5 Movies, a long-form film podcast, will be entering its third full year in 2022. The "primary" podcast features top five lists from various genres and subgenres. We have a wide range in our over 130 episodes. In 2020, we also added a weekly "supplemental" podcast, The Quick Cage, where co-host Frank Pellicone watched and reviewed every Nicolas Cage movie during an 23-month span. In 2022, a new supplemental podcast will begin weekly called The Spin Chagrin, where a ludicrous subgenre will be chosen randomly and Frank will have to watch and review the movie. This will be in addition to the main feed, where we will continue with extensive looks in top five lists.

2 Guys tries something a little different this week. In this week's episode, we have our first ever "Versus" episode where we take two films that share similar themes or are often talked about in the same breath and do a deep dive into the movies. For the first time, we will cover the fairly recent horror movies, Nicolas Winding Refn's The Neon Demon, starring Elle Fanning, and the 2014 independent body horror, Starry Eyes.
