The Filmography

Reece and Bjorn are joined by special guest, Yaw Djang, a Manchester restauranteur and former owner of X-Ray Films, for a discussion about Spike Lee's funny and furious masterpiece about race, community, and what happens when things get too hot on one blistering summer day on one simmering block of a Brooklyn neighborhood in 1989, all too relevant today.

Reece and Bjorn discuss Spike Lee’s 2nd joint Scool Daze, about the events and tensions surrounding homecoming week at an all black college.

In the first episode of the new season, taking a deep dive into the many Spike Lee Joint's, Reece and Bjorn are joined by very special guest, Toronto filmmaker, Rebeccah Love, for a discussion about Spike's first feature, She's Gotta Have It.

In this bonus episode, Reece and Bjorn follow up their second season, on the films of Paul Schrader, with the director's most recent picture, Oh Canada.

In this bonus episode, Reece and Bjorn return to their Season One subject, Mr. Francis Ford Coppola to discuss his polarizing return to cinema, the long gestating, completely self financed wonder that is Megalopolis!

In the first ever Filmography Bonus Episode, Reece and Bjorn discuss their respective top 10 favourite films released in 2024.

Reece and Bjorn wrap up their Paul Schrader season with the second part of their rankings from least to most favourite.

Reece and Bjorn compare notes on Schrader's films, ranking them from least to most favourite.

Reece and Bjorn are joined with very special guest and fellow former Queen Video clerk Adam Trozzolo for a deep dive into Paul Schrader final entry in his late period "man in a room" trilogy, starring Joel Edgerton as a reformed Neo-Nazi (surprise, surprise) seeking redemption through love.

Reece and Bjorn discuss Paul Schrader's 22nd picture, "The Card Counter," the second in the so-called "man in a room" trilogy, starring Oscar Isaac as a gambler with a very dark past.

Reece and Bjorn discuss Paul Schrader's comeback picture, starring Ethan Hawke as the most Schrader-esque of protagonists, a priest suffering a crisis of faith. A 180-degree-turn from his last film, "First Reformed" is a provocative and deeply moving meditation on love, guilt, grief, and God (but way more entertaining than that suggests).

Reece and Bjorn take a deep dive into Paul Schrader’s wildest picture, his second collaboration with Nic Cage (doing his best Bogart) in the bonkers 2016 neo-noir, Dog Eat Dog, featuring a gleefully unhinged supporting turn from Willem Dafoe., and based on (most of) a novel by Edward (Mr. Blue) Bunker.

Reece and Bjorn are joined by returning special guest and noted Cage-o-holic Mark Hanson to discuss the first of two Schrader / Nic Cage pictures, 2014's CIA spy thriller, Dying of The Light, as well as Schrader's own bootleg cut, "Dark."

Reece and Bjorn discuss (and disagree on!) Paul Schrader's divisive, self-financed Bret Easton Ellis collaboration, "The Canyons," starring Lindsay Lohan and pornstar James Deen in a story about sex, jealousy, and murder.

Reece and Bjorn discuss Paul Schrader’s 2008 psychological drama starring Jeff Goldblum as a Holocaust survivor struggling to hold onto his sanity after suffering unspeakable loss and humiliation at the hands of Willem Dafoe’s Nazi officer.

Reece and Bjorn discuss Paul Schrader's return to his "man in a room" films with this 2007 crime-drama starring Woody Harrelson, as the eponymous "walker," a gay man who escorts the wealthy wives of Washington elites to social events in place of their neglectful husbands - until, as these men in rooms tend to do, he gets caught up in a murder.

Reece and Bjorn discuss Paul Schrader's divisive 2005 prequel to William Friedkin's horror classic, starring Stellen Skarsgard in the role made famous by Max Von Sydow in the original. Considering Schrader was fired off the picture, replaced by Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2: Die Harder) and the film was mostly re-cast and reshot, it's a miracle that this version even exists!

Reece and Bjorn discuss Paul Schrader's 2002 Bob Crane biopic about twin obsession: sex and videotape, featuring some career-best performances by Greg Kinnear and Willem Dafoe.

Reece and Bjorn are joined by very special guest Cameron Pulley, to discuss Paul Schrader's ultra-strange 1999 noir melodrama, Forever Mine, starring Joseph Fiennes, Gretchen Moll, and Ray Liotta.

Reece and Bjorn discuss Paul Schrader's 1988 true crime biopic, Patty Hearst, starring Natasha Richardson as the eponymous heiress who was kidnapped by and then joined (willingly?) the SLA.
