On the premiere episode, Dan and Vicky choose July 27, 1972 as their Hot Date.  

The classic survival thriller "Deliverance" was released on July 30th and went on to become one of the highest grossing films of the year, pick up three Oscar nominations and forever change the discussion of rural versus urban class dynamics.

Dan and Vicky discuss their impressions of the film and address the controversial scenes that have given it it's reputation.   

They'll also look at the year 1972 in social and political history and share the things they're currently watching, reading and listening to in the "Favorite Things" segment.  

Check out Dan and Vicky's first Hot Date.  You'll be begging for a second one! 

Based on Peter Schaffer's hit play, the movie version of Amadeus won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Actor and Director.  Dan and Vicky watched the Director's  Cut, which has about 30 minutes of footage not included in the original release version.

They discuss the historical, political and personal climate around the time the movie came out on September 19, 1984 and also talk about some of their favorite pop culture obsessions from the past week.  

Go back to 18th century Vienna with Dan and Vicky on their second Hot Date!  

French director Roger Vadim made his US filmmaking debut in 1971 with Pretty Maids All In A Row, based on the scandalously prurient novel of the same title.  It was an inauspicious and largely forgotten film and was one of the last movies to come out of MGM before they almost entirely ceased film production.  

It stars Rock Hudson, Telly Savalas, John David Carson and the very sexy Angie Dickinson in a tale of sexual exploration and murder on a sunny California high school campus.  Written and produced by Mr. Star Trek himself, Gene Roddenberry, Pretty Maids is one of the strangest films to ever come out of a major studio and Dan and Vicky get into all the looniness. 

Rock Hudson bedding every high school coed he can find, John David Carson and his erection problem, the va-va-va voomness of Miss Dickinson.  Oh, and that pesky serial killer!  Dan and Vicky take it all on.  Hot Date 3 goes back to high school -- and it ain't Pretty!

Heads you win, Tails you die!  

When late director Tony Scott read the story of Domino Harvey in an article in The Daily Mail, he was eager to translate her life to film.  Working with her and screenwriter Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko, Southland Tales), Scott ended up with less a biopic and more a bombastic love letter to the style in which Harvey lived her life -- fast, furious and on the edge.

A onetime model and DJ, affirmed tomboy Harvey found success later as a bounty hunter.  Scott's film tracks her through one particularly messy job, complicated by blackmail, mistaken identity, missing limbs and the cast of Beverly Hills 90210. 

Dan and Vicky take a look at this action movie on acid - one of them got high on it, the other not so much.  Plus they review the sights and sounds of it's release month, October 2005.  Back from a 3 week hiatus, Dan and Vicky are ready for action in Hot Date 4.

Producer Robert Evans resisted the efforts of horror schlockmeister William Castle to direct the film adaptation of Ira Levin's novel, Rosemary's Baby, and the film world is all the better for it.

Polish wunderkind Roman Polanski took the reigns and created a horror classic; a movie Levin called the best EVER film adaptation of a novel. Self-congratulation aside, he's not too far off.   

In an epic Hot Date, their longest and hottest yet, Dan and Vicky not only give their thoughts on the satan baby masterpiece starring Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes and Oscar winner Ruth Gordon, but also on the little seen TV movie sequel, Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby from 1976 and last year's NBC remake with Zoe Saldana.  They also touch on the original novel and the 1997 sequel, Son of Rosemary.  

Finally getting to riff on their first true horror film, your fun loving hosts get into some Rosemary's Baby behind-the-scenes drama, discuss their favorite horror podcasts, talk about what they've been watching recently, remember October 1968 history and reveal what Irish movie star Richard Harris and disco diva Donna Summer have in common.  

On Hot Date 5 Dan and Vicky conceive a bouncing baby boy ... from HELL!   

Barbra Streisand is a force to be reckoned with.  Two time Oscar winner, multi Grammy, Golden Globe and Emmy winner.  The woman even has several Peabodys!   

So when she decided to tackle her grittiest role to date -- as a prostitute indicted for murder fighting to prove her sanity in a competency hearing -- who was going to say no?  Well...actually...someone did.  In 1982 when Streisand expressed interest in the role of Claudia Draper in the film adaptation of the play Nuts, Universal declined and gave the role to Debra Winger instead.  

Four years later, after being mired in development hell, Winger was out and Streisand got the role back and pushed it through at Warner Bros.  She chose the screenwriters, director, cinematographer, even had a hand in casting.  So what's the verdict?  Does Nuts emerge as a vanity project or does Babs hit it out of the park?

Dan and Vicky nearly lose their minds recording this week's podcast.  After a computer glitch erases their first go-round, they jump right back in and grab this show by the... well....nuts.  

Nuts on Hot Date 6!  Pretty Funny, Girl!  

Impact:  The force with which two lives come together.  Sometimes for good, sometimes for evil.

Dan and Vicky come together and it's ALL for the good as they look at the little remembered B-movie from 1949, Impact.  The movie that asks: If your wife's lover botches a hit on you and accidentally kills himself AND the world mistakes his charred body for yours, could you let your wife hang for a murder she didn't actually successfully commit?  And how do you pay back the surprisingly progressive Chinese maid who saves the day -- and your butt?  

Dan and Vicky take a wild trip through film noir territory with some detours for exciting Supreme Court rulings, cowboy weddings in upstate New York, random thoughts on death and growing old and the musical stylings of Vic Damone.  DEEP Impact is more like it.

Hot Date 7 with Dan and Vicky.  Black, white and RED hot all over! 

Before he became the official film adapter of all things J.R.R Tolkein, Peter Jackson was a young monster movie enthusiast and animator creating kitschy, violent, over the top gore-fests in his home country of New Zealand.  When Dead Alive, his third feature, appeared in 1992, it had one of the biggest opening weekends of any film in New Zealand history, beating the latest Warner Bros. Batman film at the box office.  It didn't have as immediate an impact in the US in February 1993 but Hollywood could tell they had a unique talent on their hands.  

Dan traveled four hours to be with Vicky to get Episode 8 out and after a rocky start (another computer malfunction caused their first take at 8 to be deleted), they deliver their tightest show to date.  In addition to the gushy main feature, they touch on some of their other recently viewed movies -- Vicky makes a case for The Den and Dan tries to forget Queen of the Damned -- and try and remember just who the hell Shanice was and what she was signing in 1993.   

Hot Date Episode 8:Dead Alive is one nasty Mother.
