The Film Effect with Tiff

It's Christmas!  So, what's better than a French Film about impossible love!  A woman on fire ( not literally of course) and a sneaky game of "Let's see if you can paint my portrait." are up for the chat this week.  My good friend Julie Fisher returns to discuss this amazing pick!  Portrait of a Lady on Fire has more going on underneath the amazing imagery and beautiful acting.  I'm definitely a b...

This week we venture to the land of 90's Femme Fatales with this classic thriller!  Basic Instinct is up for the chat with my return guest Amy Obrien.  We talk classic films and smart women who like to kill.  Join us in our love for Sharon Stone and of course that interrogation scene.

This week, the wife of Tom (our supreme leader), Kristine joins the film effect to discuss Pretty Woman.  This movie is full of ridiculous notions of love, sex, and so much more.  Even still, we love it!  Join us for a fun chat about the 90's, sex workers, rich guys, and my hangups about being "saved" by a relationship. Send comments and feedback to me at tiffany@tiffpics.com Also, find me on inst...

This week, my pal Lisa Rector joins me to talk about the movie that messed her up as a kid, Burnt Offerings.  This one is a first watch for me, and I had a lot to say about it.  It's got everything!  Betty Davis makes top billing and it's truly a triumphant story of an old house who finds it's way again.  Enjoy the listen!

This week I roped my friend Linda in watching the film ALONE.  This one is a newbie and is new to theaters and on demand. Join us we talk about facing fears, being a badass woman, and of course...the man.

Have you heard of this movie?  Looking for an existential crisis?  Well, "I'm thinking of ending things" is this week's rant.  Join me for a very special MASH UP episode as I bring my buddy Tom from our other podcast, The Full Send with Tom & Tiff, to chat on this film. You can find the film on Netflix streaming right now!  Join us in our confusion and discussion, but watch the film first.  SP...

Turn off the lights and get under the covers for this week's episode as I pose the question:  What movie scared you the most as a kid?  My two favorite film buddies, Rob Waters & Rob Rector, join me to answer this question and discuss horror films.  Not to mention, they made me dreams come by saving Halloween this year with another awesome movie event on 10/25/20!  Join us as we chat about bei...

Another Fresh Take is on the pod!  This week I go to the movies to see TENET, by Christopher Nolan.  My film fanatic friend, Maggie, joins me in the theater to see this brainy new film.  Grab your popcorn and joins us as we chat before and after the film.  It's my version of the "Water Cooler" chat at the office since attending movies is like my job. I'm also Giving Away a SUPER FRESH Film Effect...

My friend Susan Harrison, from 2 paper sisters returns to discuss the real reason to skip class in high school, Gorillas in the Mist!  This is her pick this week and is one of my all time favs.  Continuing with another film with Sigourney Weaver and all things Bad ass women, we chat about being a teen, ambition, dreams and the sacrifices some people make to live their purpose.  Check out 2 Paper S...

In a world of Zooming and too many screens, this week I'm once again face to face with an actual human (or Navi) to really SEE each other as we chat on the movie AVATAR.  Kari Nietert of Dimitra Yoga is in the podseat! Find her on instagram @k.oolvibes.  We chat about my love/hate for James Cameron, finding yourself by being someone else, and being a vessel for all things true.  Find your Avatar a...

Do you remember being a teen?  Remember hating your mom and your hometown?  How about loving all things indie and Alanis Morissette?  Ok, this episode is for you.  The amazing Lady Bird is up this week and my friend Meg Gardner joins me to chat about being a senior in high school, a daughter, and now a mother.  We go into deep therapy on this one, because, good god, life is lifey.   If you haven't...

This week we go back 20 years to a movie that impacted us all, Lean on Me!  My friend Rob West returns with some spoken word poetry and brings Dontez Collins along to discuss their new movement called L.I.F.T.  and more!  This episode isn't just about a movie, so make sure you take a listen to be inspired and informed about what's going on in this community and how YOU can make a difference.  Show...

Get out your surfboard, grab a meatball sub and join Carlos Casas and I as we dive into one of our favorites, POINT BREAK!  We are talking about the 1991 film (not that silly remake!).  We share surf stories, Keanu Reeves as an FBI agent, and the magic of Patrick Swayze.  Summer is still here, so rewatch this 90's classic by badass female director Kathryn Bigelow and feel the stoke! Follow The Fil...

Get ready for a long overdue FRESH TAKE as I venture to the movies, masks and all, with my friend Maggie.  We socially distance from the one other guy in the theater as we watch "The Rental" in the actual theater.  This one was a real treat since there are literally barely any new movies to see right now.  Join us as we chat about relationships, getaways with your friends, and of course weird stal...

Is it the 50's?  Is it the 80's?  Why is Micheal Pare so cool?  Join me this week and my guest Rob Rector, film writer, teacher, and all around cool cat, as we venture to our youth with Streets of Fire.  Literally EVERYONE is in this movie and I can't think of anything more cozy than an 80's movie chat for a Covid Summer. Rob is a writer for Film Threat and the Cape Gazette, as well as Co-Creater...

31 years ago Spike Lee made a masterpiece that is more relevant today than ever, Do the Right Thing.  If you haven't seen it, sit down immediately, find it on your tv, and watch it.  It's not only an important film but speaks volumes about race, rights, community, family, and so much more.  My friend and amazing human, Rob West joins me to discuss the impact this movie had on him and how it relate...

This week I pay tribute to Lynn Shelton!  Join me for a short chat with myself as I share my recent dive into her films.  Indie films on the chat peeps!  

Is everyone ok out there?  Things are definitely getting serious in the world.  I'm finally back in the pod studio this week as I podcast from 6 feet apart to talk about smart janitors and funny therapists with Good Will Hunting.  Deniene Dailey is my guest as we do our own version of talk therapy discussing this touchy feely movie. 

My film buddy Tyrice is back this week with his latest pick, Monos!  This foreign film from 2019 had both of us scratching our heads with big feelings and lots to say.  If you like kids without supervision, a very brave hostage, and very little dialogue, this movie is for you.  It's like Lord of the Flies meets Apocalypse Now.  I think you'll enjoy the chat.

I tap into my inner T. Bickle this week with a classic Scorcese film, Taxi Driver.  I woke up with some big dark feelings and paired those with this  deep, and fitting film about loneliness in the big apple.  I grab a coffee and bagel to settle in on a journey into the world of a man on the edge.  There's more to this classic than you think and you may just want to return to it after you've had a...

Just when you thought things couldn't get any weirder, we've got David Lynch for you this week and my good friend Steve Diddlemeyer from my movie theater days.  We go back to the 90's to discuss one of our favorite quotable films, Wild at Heart.  This movie seriously shaped my late teens and probably corrupted my ideas about romance.  On the upside, I've never been chased by murderers and people w...

Are you mad as hell?  Are you not going to take it anymore?  You bet I am!  As we continue to quarantine, I continue you to podcast.  What else is there to do?!  This week I have a return guest, BL from The Ocean City Film Festival.  His pick is Network from 1976.  I couldn't think of anything more fitting to discuss. Join us as we chat about old movies, independent film and killing yourself on na...

Jack being Jack, Tiff being Tiff, and Kubrick being insane this week as I take on The Shining.  This time, I'm solo since no one seems to touch this 1980 classic horror film with a ten foot pole.  I enter the Overlook Hotel and join in on the crazy!  Grab your coffee, or put on your mask of the day, and cozy up to this listen.  It's not as scary as you think and you may just want to return to watc...

A creepy music box, fancy people riding horses, a desperate ghost, and my tween confession this week with The Changeling!  My guest is another childhood friend, Kelly Adams, from our old and creepy town, Fallsington, PA.  Join us for a chat about 80's horror movies, Canada, and more!
