like certain sequels, this follow-up is bigger, more expensive, but leaner at the same time. How do we do it? Take a listen as we continue down Bobby Z avenue

Our magnum opus is ready. Time to reclaim the subversive bad boy of commercial holllywood filmmaking. This is part one in what will be a 5-part series.

oh boy, we go in on the buzzworthy indie filmmaker/auteur A24, via an article on Collider. You may be surprised to learn how connected Danish bad boy Carl Theodor Dreyer is to the modern behemoth behind such notable films as Antebellum, Lamb, mid90s, and Woodshock

We return to check in on the most notable films playing the current fest circuit, starting with a shocking revelation about John’s personal history with Olivia Wilde. After we process that, we talk about some of the notable titles soon to get all the PR engines spamming IMDb every time you try to look up Mia Goth’s relationship status

another day another episode, how did we even get here? After putting out some fires, we return with our thoughts on our Highs and Lows series kickstarter, The Craft + Duelle. This freewheeling and kaleidoscopic journey dovetails with a brief solemn salute to JLG, a teaser of an upcoming series, and a few quick thoughts on the soon-to-be-revealed CIA psy-op known as the genre of pop punk

Highs and Lows is back and we start by giving you a little rundown of what to expect. Then we give you an episode we did a minute ago that we didn’t want to put out because it felt too genuine. Our widdle hearts were raw, our brains smooth but full, and we second guessed ourselves. Do you wanna know the real us? This is our Blood on the Tracks. We review 3 new movies.

We are switching things up today for a scoop months in the making. Will is on pod probation so I am joined by war correspondent + journalist + documentarian Cory Popp, who has just returned from Ukraine to talk Hollyweird. We discuss the salacious details of private investigator to the stars, Anthony Pellicano, his subsequent arrest, and how he became involved with the troubled production of John...

That’s right folks, it’s coming, or is it here? Now that the snowflake Oscars have done the unthinkable, how can a modern man like Armond White fight against the scourge of guys in bike hats and gals with stick-and-poke tattoos eating all of his wealthy buddies at the National Review? Well once we run down some news headlines and deal with audio issues, we will dive headfirst with scuba gear into...

We take a pit stop at the Texaco for a quick hit of that hot new MoviePass kush, then we start to tease a forthcoming Armond and his recent thoughts on the Oscar’s latest course correction. Then we are joined by programmer Raul Benitez and Viviana García Besné of the Permanencia Voluntaria Archivo Cinematográfico, for a chat about restoring The Batwoman, The Panther Women, and a few other gems of...

The Armond train is shoveled full of coal and we are taking this baby out the station. We continue discussing his removal from the critics circle, as well as remembering a sweeter time when Armond wrote Criterion essays.

Before we continue with Armond, we had to address the recent hubbub at Warner Bros involving The Batgirl and Clint, the time warp effect of ads for Bullet Train, seeing the new Wai Ka Fai movie, and probably something else. After about 30 min of that we continue our Armond series, starting with his humble beginnings + opinions of him according to his fellow Critics

first part in our possibly never ending dive into the writings of the controversial critic Armond White, the enfant terrible of modern Film journalism. We start by catching up with Armond’s latest article calling out rolling stone for criticizing his choice for the greatest film of this century, Zack snyders’ Justice league

What kept us away this time you might wonder? It certainly wasn’t poor life decisions, it was because we are BUSY. And are we ever, as we return with our Hot takes on the headlines, and our fingers in the air, taking a read on the blowing winds

we did it. Now it’s morning, we are sipping our coffee and cracking the paper, taking a look, slamming our widdle bottles of advil liqui-gels. Also thanks to everyone for coming to see us. We also meant to cover the Oscars this morning but didn’t have it in us. We know you all want it, and you will get it.

we did it, we have shocked you and ourselves because we have programmed our own series, opening this weekend (Feb 12) in Chicago. This is the first half of our series’ skeleton key, allowing all of you near and far to unlock Highs + Low’s coveted secrets for your very selves

we repeat our guests once more, but this time we’re doubling up. Cameron and Rebecca (Chicago Film Society) pop their heads down into our little rabbit hole, and we get after it also: https://musicboxtheatre.com/events/highs-and-lows

It’s the start of lean mean season 2 mfs. We are joined once again by everyone’s favorite Nick Pinkerton, getting caught up with his latest endeavors and thoughts, with topics ranging from Jean Eustache, west side story, the NFL playoffs, plus the heavy winds of Cyrano fever sweeping the nation

bleep bleep, who got the keys to jeep, right? Will makes me censor myself on this one. Join the drunken revelry of Christmas party cheer as we veer from topics left and right, from pedo Hollywood and it’s ties to pop punk and the movie licorice pizza, all they way to spielberg and his racism. We even end on a note of seasonal sincerity. We are getting our act together for the holidays as we contin...
