On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are joined by a well-known excellent person, Greg Dengler, for the third time to talk about a sentient killer tire. What better way to celebrate our last B-movie bonus episode of 2021 than to talk about Quentin Dupieux\u2019s 2010 film, Rubber?

There is no better way, and there is no better person with whom to talk about this movie.

What a surprise this one was! You would think that a film about a literal sentient killer car tire would be an awful, terrible, no good, horror of a film, but you\u2019d be wrong in this case. In all other cases, you\u2019d probably be right, but not this time!

Nope, this film has depth and complexity that it should not rightly have. It\u2019s a film with a stark message\u2014one of the dangers of thoughtless film criticism, the devastating effects of social media run amuck, and a Hollywood machine carelessly crushing unique thought under its own metaphorical killer tires.

One might call us crazy for talking about this film in such a fashion. To that we say, listen to this podcast and then give this film a try (or another try, if you\u2019ve already seen it). We can just about guarantee that this movie is more than it appears.

As is our fashion, by the end of this B-movie episode, Rubber will have been crowned with our ranking. Will it be brilliant, a blunder, or a flunder? Listen to find out.
