101 - Duplex
Senior citizens. We think we can live without them but we underestimate them at our own peril. Listen to Alex and Julio discuss Danny DeVito’s forgotten masterpiece, DUPLEX - an incisive analysis of generation clashes! Travel back to a time before Betty White played all the comedic old lady roles! Worry about the lack of intimacy in Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore’s relationship! And feel guilty about picking sides when we should all be striving to get along!

- Watch HONEYLAND (currently on Hulu!) so you can cheer for it at The Oscars.
- The guys from BEYOND THE BOX SET really liked our Endgame episode. We love you too, John and Harry!
- Hans Rothgiesser, the man behind our logo, can be reached at @mildemonios on Twitter or you can email him at mildemonios@hotmail.com in case you ever need a logo (or comics) produced. And you can listen to him talk about Peruvian politics on his own podcast, NACION COMBI. Aaaaand you can also check out all the stuff he’s written on his own website. Don’t know Spanish? He also did a podcast in English called LIVING IN PERU, about immigrants in - where else - Perú. Oh, and as if that wasn’t enough, he has a new zombie novel out, REQUIEM POR LURÍN. Ask him about it!
Up next, our long promised TERMINATOR FRANCHISE bonus episode, with longtime friend of the pod, Chas Fisher! In the meantime, let us know how you like DUPLEX! Which generation were you rooting for? Should this rank higher on Danny DeVito’s directing filmography? Did you laugh at electrocuted Drew? E-mail us at wearethecontrarians@gmail.com or tweet at us or facebook us and share your thoughts!
