Episode 6: THE RAID (2011) 12.03.2019 1:08:46

THE RAID is one of the grandest entries in the conversation between action cinema and video games. But is it good or just loud? At least we can agree that JOHN WICK is better, even if it wouldn't exist without THE RAID. Theme: "Raindrops" by Huma-Huma/"No Smoking" PSA by John Waters.

THE ELEPHANT MAN (1980) 05.03.2019 56:45

Is David Lynch's 1980 historical drama about Joseph Merrick one of his least Lynch-like films? Is it a straight-forward, sentimental, and even manipulative dramatization about a real-life tragedy? ...Or is it a quintessentially Lynch-like indictment of the culture of globalized, industrialized capitalism we still find ourselves living under, and how that culture has warped us to the point that deh...

Episode 4: KOYAANISQATSI (1983) 26.02.2019 57:25

On the border between earnest tragedy and pseudo-hippie preachiness, there's KOYAANISQATSI, a plotless documentary-slash-visual tone poem about humanity's lopsided relationship with Planet Earth and how there are some things we just can't rebuild. This episode was recorded in 2018 after a free screening of KOYAANISQATSI at the Trylon, which was put on by the Moving Image & Media Studies Gradua...

Episode 3: WANDA (1970) 18.02.2019 59:07

The only feature-length film by writer/director Barbara Loden before her death in 1980, WANDA follows Wanda Goronski, a divorcee in Pennsylvania coal country whose options for a better life shrink with every man she meets. Content warning: discussions of depression, abuse of women, and attempted sexual assault. Theme: "Raindrops" by Huma-Huma/"No Smoking" PSA by John Waters.

Episode 2: HAUSU (1977) 05.02.2019 1:15:05

What started as a commercial director's fever dream became a genre-blending staple of cult cinema. In this episode, Aaron Grossman (@aarbypls) joins the boys to talk about HAUSU, Nobuhiko Obayashi's feature-length debut, and its surprisingly resonant message about the virtues of peacetime and the echoes of wartime tragedy. Theme: "Raindrops" by Huma-Huma/"No Smoking" PSA by John Waters.

Episode 1: THE 400 BLOWS (1959) 08.01.2019 1:10:47

THE 400 BLOWS (1959) is François Truffaut's first film, based in part on his own life as a ruffian on the streets of Paris. It's also widely regarded as a monument of French New Wave cinema. In our first episode that doesn't sound terrible, Jason, Harry, and John try to figure out what that meant at the time and how we look at it today. Theme: "Raindrops" by Huma-Huma/"No Smoking" PSA by John Wate...
