Clear Tinted Classics

Jake is joined by first time guest James to take a deep dive into James' journey into filmmaking, his love of film, and what led him to creating his popular Youtube channel. Jake is a fan, so he tries not to geek out too hard. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/@JamesVSCinema https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYiE7Gw26gpr4pXV1LRn4MQ

First time guest Sammy joins the show to talk about an actual classic film! They talk about Sammy's journey into filmmaking writing scripts before he was even ten years old, and then dive into The Third Man. It's hard not to call it an Orson Welles film, because man, but yeah, anyway, check it out!

Michael is back to try and convince Jake that Wes Anderson is worth his time. Does he succeed? Will the scales be tipped by a woman who goes on to found a company called Goop wearing heavy eye makeup? Possibly.

First time guest Pat joins Jake from California to talk about his film career and wild journey into acting and directing. Then they dive headfirst into Sin City with the William H. Macy led film about being the unluckiest man in the world, The Cooler.

Let's get punk. What does punk mean though? Well... a lot of things. Some of which get covered in this small indie film about coming of age as a punk in Salt Lake City (that's what the SLC stands for!). Bron is back on the show to talk through this cult classic, and it's a punk rocking good time.

Jake makes the case for his top 90's films.

This week, it's time to go to Reno, get divorced, and fall in love with a beautiful woman on a ranch.

It's just Jake and the movie this time. How does this high school film that seems to have endured the test of time endure Jake's nostalgia free gaze? Well, that's why you listen, I think.

Jake watched some stuff and he's been busy, so he's gonna talk about it. On this episode: Sinners, Delicious in Dungeon, Frieren, Dimension 20: Titan Takedown, Super Eyepatch Wolf: The Unreality of Pro Wrestling, Eurotrip, The Wire, White Lotus, The Studio, The Rehearsal, and Severance.

What happens when Andrew suggests doing a cult classic Christian romcom satire starring Jena Malone getting pregnant by having sex one time with her gay boyfriend? Jake says, let's do this! It's time to get Saved!

The deep dive into Paul Thomas Anderson continues, and Kurt is back once again to talk to Jake about the man himself. This week, it's a look at perhaps his most ambitious project of all, and blindingly paced three hour epic with roughly fifty central characters. It's a lot!

Jake watched this film a long time ago and formed his entire personality around it. Justin is watching it for the first time. Does it hold up? Does the humor still hit for Jake? Can Justin stand two hitmen who don't do any killing and instead stroll around Bruges talking about their feelings? Listen to find out.

It's time for Jake, an actual public access TV worker, to watch Wayne's World. He's joined by Andrew to talk about the two leads' careers, whether the humor holds up, and they also get a little existential about the state of business and art. Oh, and also they party!

Yeah, it's a really long episode. And a really bad movie. But there somehow was a lot to talk about. And Jake and Justin had to spend some of the show wheeze laughing at Brendan Fraser's character choices and John Travolta's insane look in this one. So... check it out!

In 2013, the short film Curfew won the Oscar for best short film. Just a year later, Shawn Christensen released Before I Disappear, a feature film based on the short. Malakai has seen it previously, and really liked it. Jake has never seen it. How does this gritty, street level, one long day story about a suicidal uncle and his niece he's been tasked to watch for the night go over with them? W...

What if Shakespeare had guns? Like really cool pistols with emblems on the side and stuff? And everyone was super cool? And hot? Well, you don't have to leave those questions unanswered, because Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet exists to answer the call. It's Jake first time witnessing this spectacle. Thankfully Michael is back on the show to help him through it. It's a wild ride, try...

A real blast from the past this week, Rob is back on the show! But for real, we are all the way back in the 40's this week, with 1946's A Matter of Life and Death. Jake's first introduction to the British directing duo of Powell and Pressburger, and what an introduction it is. The two dig into the film, talk about what works, what doesn't hold up, and then Jake waxes a lot of poeti...

Robert De Niro. Edward Norton. Marlon Brando. Angela Bassett. One last job. Legends on the take. Frank Oz directing. What else could you want? Maybe... a better story. Jake and Justin waltz through this forgotten early 2000's film and see just how it came to be forgotten. They figure it out pretty quickly, but it's still a fun episode, so... check it out!

It's a wild one this week. Johnny is back on the show to talk about a film touted as one of the only true anti-war films ever made. It's a harrowing journey, but it's worth the trip. Come and see... this episode. Sorry.

It's normal days on the podcast as Justin comes back to roast one of Jake's picks. And that's Strange Days, a movie about... a lot of stuff. There's high tech VR. A famous music star has been murdered. Y2K is coming. And craziest of all, Ralph Fiennes ignores Angela Bassett. Dive in with us as we go through the whole dang thing.

Come up to the lab (this podcast). And see what's on the slab (also this podcast?). That's right, Jake is joined by first time guest Brooke to talk about this cult hit musical that doesn't make a ton of sense, but it sure does rock. How does it hold up for someone that is finally seeing it for the first time? Well, that's the premise of the show, so click to find out!

It's a Greek Odyssey, but the deep south in 1937. Yeah there's slapstick. Yeah there's people singing like it's a musical. Yeah, George Clooney looks hot as heck. Anthony joins Jake on his first trip through the Coen brothers classic. Spoilers, neither of them were in constant sorrow after this one.

It's time to hop in that sweet green convertible, crank the radio up, and put this podcast on. It's two of the greatest gals in cinema on the run this week, and Brittnie is here to help Jake break it down. Will they ride into the sunset? Probably, but will it also be off a of a cliff? Also, probably.

In honor of this movie, Ethan and Jake sit silently for ninety minutes and then talk about the movie. Kidding. It's a deep dive into on the more influential horror/thriller films to come out in the last few years. Did it deserve to make such an impact? Listen to find out.

Have you ever wanted to see James Bond lust after Bullseye from Daredevil? Well, go figure that out somewhere else, but when you come back, we have the closest thing to that. Jake and Justin dive deep into the weird world of the early 2000's, where Irish heart throb Colin Farrell was the guy we picked to portray famous southern outlaw Jesse James. We aren't complaining. Check it out!
