Gilbert and Frank’s Amazing Colossal Obsession
Each week, comedian Gilbert Gottfried and comedy writer Frank Santopadre share their appreciation of lesser-known films, underrated TV shows and hopelessly obscure character actors — discussing, dissecting and (occasionally) defending their handpicked guilty pleasures and buried treasures. As a public service here’s a complete list of each movie Frank and Gilbert have recommended and information on where you can watch the films. You can thank us later.

Episode 13: Being There and Mortal Storm.

Date Aired: June 10, 2015

Streaming Status: Being There is not available to stream on Netflix but Netflix does offer it in DVD. The Mortal Storm is only available on YouTube at this time. Not sure about copyright though so you’re on your own.

Other movies mentioned: (Directed by Hal Ashby) The Landlord, Shampoo, Bound for Glory, The Last Detail, and Harold and Maude. Besides the Ashby directed films Gilbert and Frank talk briefly about I Never Sang For My Father, Prizzi’s Honor, Slaughterhouse Five (although not by name), and the The Wizard of Oz.

Episode 12: Two Seconds and Going in Style

Date Aired: June 4, 2015

Streaming Status: Two Seconds is not available on Netflix in either DVD format or streaming. Turner Classic Movies has broadcast the film so that might be your best chance. Other than that you can buy it on Amazon. Netflix does not offer Going in Style to stream but it is available as a DVD.

Other movies mentioned: Scent of a Woman, The Stranger, Gigli, Meet Joe Black, I’m a Fugitive From a Chain Gang, The Incident at Owl Creek Bridge, Quick Change, Hot Tomorrows, Kindergarten Cop, Midnight Run, Beverly Hills Cop, Skokie, Oh God, and The Sunshine Boys.
