Split Take Cinema

Join Chandler, Jacob, and a whole host a wacky characters and friends as they review their favorite movies of the decade in a super-sized, mega stuffed, action-packed episode. Part 1 of 2.

Part 2 of our retrospective on the movies of the 2010s decade. Join us and our friends as we realize movies are as awesome as ever and fail to properly express how much we love some of the best ones from the past decade.

Chandler & Jacob return to talk about The Rise of Skywalker even more! We also discuss Greta Gerwig’s wonderful new movie Little Women (2019), disagree (but not really) about L’argent (1983), and Jacob presents a new chart to visually categorize movies. Is this chart really a look into cinematic madness? Find out on episode 9 of Split Take.

It’s 2020 but we’re still talking 2019. Chandler peeks into the madness of Jacob’s yearly movie excel spreadsheet, we discuss the divide between critics and audiences, review Uncut Gems (2019), and struggle to find words about how strange Imitation of Life (1959) is.

Chandler and Jacob discuss their favorite holiday movie traditions including The Star Wars Holiday Special and they review The Rise of Skywalker (2019). But wait, there’s more! Listen now and we’ll also discuss The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976), whatever that is.

We discuss the various merits of nostalgia-based cinema, condemn the recent onslaught of dog movies, pick apart the murder mystery genre and Knives Out , and find a rare French movie that we both thoroughly enjoyed: The Earrings of Madame De...

Chandler takes advantage of black Friday. We discuss the various terrible qualities and merits of the Star Wars prequels, take a trip to Mr. Roger’s neighborhood, review The Irishman (2019), and the British mystery/thriller Don’t Look Now (1973).

We lose track of time discussing Parasite (2019), Chandler keeps bumping his mic, Jacob gives a mediocre Cuban history lesson, and we discuss communist propaganda in Soy Cuba (1964).

We unexpectedly review The Lighthouse (2019), talk about the beautiful nonsense of Last Year at Marienbad (1961), and start to rethink our BFI journey.

We discuss Jean Pierre Melville's Le Samourai (1967), obligatorily mention the French New Wave, and chastize Chandler for his cursing. Full show notes on SplitTake.com

Chandler & Jacob talk about their love of cinema, their contempt of Godard and begin their odyssey to watch every film on the British Film Institute’s Best Movies of all-time list.
