Listen Now

Dylan, Nick, and Jana have gathered to partake in their most important yearly episode...dolling out awards from the films in the past year. This will include the classic Oscar categories as well as lots of silly awards like Achievement in Hotness and Best Bronco Henry!

We're back! For an episode recorded a few months ago! Apologies it's taken a while to get back and running but we hope you enjoy our thrilling discussion on The Night of the Hunter

We got a couple days till the Sight and Sound 2022 ballot is released! Nick and Dylan sit down and try to make some general, and bold, predictions about what you might see from the new ballot.

We're finally at one of our favorite times of the year. A season finale episode! Bad movie review! Well according to Ebert at least as we discuss a now Carpenter Classic and Apocalypse Trilogy member Prince of Darkness. Then we give out "silly" and "serious" awards for the movies we discussed in this last season of the show including The Maltese Falcon, Manhattan, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Metropolis, Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, My Darling Clementine, Vivre Sa Vie, Nashville, and Network.

I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GONNA PODCAST ANYMORE! Just kidding we got a new episode here discussing the 70's classic Network. 

In for an interesting episode this week, Nick, Jana, and Dylan break down the Altman classic Nasvhille. There's Oscar talk, character drafts, 9/11 tangents and more supplementing the truly insightful discussion.

It's becoming tradition! Jana and Dylan, with Nick gone, decide they're gonna run down some of the big movies that came out over the beginning of the year and summer. We couldn't get to them all but we hope you like the slate. In order of what was discussed we did: - Kimi- Turning Red- The Batman- Everything Everywhere All At Once- AmbuLAnce- RRR (kinda....)- Top Gun: Maverick- Crimes of the Future- Nope!

Our first podcast up in a month, and our 100th ever, is one that comes on a somber day. We celebrate Godard and a great film of his on this day of his passing. Recorded a while back but it was time for me (Dylan) to post it after struggling with it as I was not a positive influence on the podcast that day. Hope you still enjoy the episode Nick and Jana were excellent.

DYLAN GOT A BIRTHDAY WISH! With his birthday this past week he picked a completely unique movie with Nick gone and needing to fill in and he picked....THE ARCHERS' A CANTERBURY TALE!

Round up your cattle, gather your brothers, we're heading to Tombstone! Joined today by movie and Ford expert Peter Labuza, the gang breakdown Ford and Fonda's careers, the history of the west in film, adaptations of the Earp legend, the blowout taking place between the Guardians and Twins, and My Darling Clementine.

To do this movie we should've just done a mostly silent, non-sequitur strewn podcast but instead we just couldn't talk enough about how much we loved this film. Tati incoming.

On this episode, Nick, Dylan, and Jana discuss one of the most pioneering science-fiction films ever made, Daft Punk, Nazis, Barron Trump, and more insane diversions as well.

First of two Altman's pretty close together! A Nick blindspot fulfilled! It's an episode packed with great discussion on a movie that is, in the definition of this podcast, great.

Because we saw how much people CLAMMORED for our last Ozu episode, Floating Weeds is one of our most listened to pods, we decided for father's day to return to a father of Japanese cinema for a movie about a dad learning what it really means to be a father in a modern age. 

With Nick gone, Jana and Dylan take a highway to the danger zone where guest Stephen Gillespie is waiting to take your breath away with our great filmic analysis of truly one of the most experimental and quietly thoughtful films of all time.... TOP GUN!

With Nick and Jana away, the wonderful Carlos Valladares joins the pod to discuss a favorite of his The Heiress. We approach it especially from the angle of the Montgomery Clift retrospective Carlos rewatched it at recently, our experiences with how we came to the movie, the brilliant people that worked on the crew of the movie, and the direction itself. However, of course, the episode will be full of tangents and asides, including Rossellini's final films, George Stevens' post-war career, and more.

Well...Dylan screwed up his audio so the original recording of The Maltese Falcon will now be lost to time. So, in lieu of that problem, we have a combined recording for the makeup of Maltese Falcon and an...interesting discussion on Woody Allen's Manhattan.

We've made it to our halfway point season! Enjoy our recaps on the movies we've discussed the past few months, give out awards, and discuss one of Ebert's least favorite movies, The Devils.

Well the SEO won't look good with a title like that, but today we discuss Fritz Lang's great picture M. 

Get your angst on, keep your caged bird fed, we're talking Melville's Le Samourai (with a HUGE hilarious mistake in the middle you'll want to hear)
