Time Sensitive

Relationships are messy, and this week, we profile a chaotic, modern farce that puts the ‘screw’ into screwball—a movie that finds absurdist comedy in the hypocrisies, jealousies, and self-deceptions of ethical non monogamy complete with plenty of hanging hog. It’s a satire of modern love with old school comedy techniques. It’s Michael Angelo Covino’s Splitsville . Check us out on... Twitter @ TSM...

Sam and I actually recorded this episode seventeen years ago, and we will add newly recorded segments throughout. This week is the best of all worlds: music, the internet, television, and film. It’s a mockumentary that blends This Is Spinal Tap and Back to the Future . It’s Matt Johnson’s Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie . Check us out on...

This week we look back at the incredible career of one of Hollywood’s most celebrated filmmakers. A guy who directed one of the greatest coming-of-age films ever made, one of the greatest romantic comedies ever made, one of the greatest mockumentaries ever made, one of the greatest courtroom dramas ever made, and one of the greatest psychological thrillers ever made. And he never won an Academy Aw...

Live, die, repeat. According to Decider ’s John Serba, “It’s 2054, and human cloning is a thing now. Not a legal thing, mind you, and that’s why icky politicians are doing the offshore-account thing and hauling their human-generating 3D printers into outer space to colonize other planets since—big shocker here—Earth is increasingly uninhabitable.” They say cats have nine lives, but Robert Pattinso...

Bon jour, and welcome to the show. It’s another annual tradition on Time Sensitive where we take you to the French coast of the Mediterranean Sea and recap the world’s most prominent and lavish film festival.

You are joining us for another perennial favorite here on Time Sensitive. At the end of nearly every episode, we ask our guest hosts a simple question: What are you into? Even though this sounds like a sexual invitation (it mostly isn’t), we ask our guests to focus on a movie, book, album, game, podcast, or pop culture subject they are currently enjoying. But no one ever asks Sam and Ian what they...

This week, Marriage Story meets The Kings of Comedy . It’s the second film in Time Sensitive history that ceremoniously ends with Queen and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure.” Why can’t we just give love one more chance? It’s a comedy of remarriage.

This week we explore an ongoing geopolitical conflict with a movie dubbed, “a blast of pure anti-authoritarian rage.” It’s a biting exercise in uncertainty. Perhaps it was intentional? Perhaps It Was Just an Accident . Check us out on... Twitter @ TSMoviePod Facebook: Time Sensitive Instagram: @ timesensitivepodcast Grab some Merch at TeePublic Big Heads Media

From the Oscar-winning romantic comedy writer, director, and producer James L. Brooks, meet Ella McCay , a film The Guardian called, “...a mess—a clunky collection of incoherent characters and confounding plot that seem to defy basic story logic at every turn.” Perhaps the film is not as good as it gets? You be the judge! Check us out on... Twitter @ TSMoviePod Facebook: Time Sensitive Instagram:...

You are joining us for our annual celebration of cinema history, specifically those movies celebrating a milestone release anniversary in 2026. It’s a birthday of sorts. We call it a “Filmversary,” and this episode is an ode to those films that have stood the test of time 5, 10, 20, 50, and even 100 years after their original release due to box office success, cultural significance, and/or Oscar g...

This week, we explore “Citizen Kane.” Not the Orson Welles classic, but the story of sovereign citizens Jerry and Joe Kane, a father and son who perpetrated unspeakable acts of violence in furtherance of their extremist ideology.

 “At the end of the Cold War, global powers reached the consensus that the world would be better off with fewer nuclear weapons. That era is now over.” It’s gripping cinema. It also feels like Obama fan fiction, and it ignores the basic tenants of nuclear strategy. It’s Kathryn Bigelow’s A House of Dynamite . Check us out on...

It’s the Golden Globe nominated Time Sensitive. We’ve got a great show for you this week.

This is our final film review of Season 7, and we decided to go out with a bang: a bizarre labor of love that provokes as much confusion as it does admiration. A film fifty years in the making, equal parts science fiction, political allegory, and personal manifesto from one of the greatest living directors. It’s proof that some people still haven’t processed 9/11, and quite possibly the only place...
