Whiplash (2014) Oct 31, 2024

Show notes

Chasing greatness requires sacrifice, but does it require torturous conditions? Damien Chazelle wrote and directed a film that’s so hard to watch sometimes, but you can’t look away. J.K. Simmons plays the demented instructor of protege drummer Andrew, played by Miles Teller. What is the movie trying to say? Is it a maddening endorsement of maniacal leadership? Or is it a warning?

Show notes

In honor of Fight Club's 25th Anniversary, Bald Move is re-releasing their podcast for listeners who have been around and those just joining. Enjoy the anniversary release!

Merry Christmas to Daniel L. from Alyssa, David, and Ryan, who joined forced to commission this podcast on 1999's "Fight Club", directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter.

Once again, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to Daniel, and good on Alyssa, David, and Ryan for making it all happen. If you'd like to support Bald Move by commissioning your very own podcast, check out our store for details!

The Shawshank Redemption (1994) - 30th Anniversary Oct 14, 2024

Show notes

In honor of The Shawshank Redemption's 30th Anniversary, Bald Move is re-releasing their podcast for listeners who have been around and those just joining. Enjoy the anniversary release!

Special thanks to Hatorian, who by right of conquest in the Bald Move Fantasy Football leagues has won his prize; a commissioned podcast of his choice. He has chosen wisely, selecting the classic 1994 prison/drama/inspirational The Shawshank Redemption. This is a nearly perfect piece of filmmaking, with a confidence in pacing and direction from Frank Darabont matched by the nuanced work of the film's two leads, Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. We had a lot of fun watching and discussing this one Hatorian. Hopefully, it won't be the longest podcast of your life...

The Boondock Saints (1999) - 25th Anniversary Oct 09, 2024

Show notes

A.Ron and Jim revisit this sophomoric take on vigilante justice. The director of this movie, Troy Duffy, is clearly a Tarantino fan. Did this male-power fantasy age well? Well…no. So why not? And can it be redeemed by Norman Reedus and Willem Dafoe?

Ed Wood (1994) - 30th Anniversary Oct 04, 2024

Show notes

Who was Ed Wood? This infamous auteur gathered a cult-following, a precursor of the “Ed Breen”s and “Tommy Wiseau”s of today. In this movie, Johnny Depp plays Ed Wood, an artist fighting the Hollywood machine, fighting societal expectations, and fighting for his friends. This highly quotable movie features lots of laughs, heartbreak, and otherwise obscure Hollywood history.

Megalopolis (2024) Sep 27, 2024

Show notes

Francis Ford Coppola swung for the fences on this project. Megalopolis (2024) is a large, star-studded cast of people you know and love. The sci-fi, the drama, and the acting all have highs and lows through the film. Without the benefit of foresight, it’s hard to know exactly how this movie will impact the audiences of the future. But in the present, it just seems like Coppola thinks you’re a bit slow.

The next Bald Move First Run movie is Gladiator 2 (2024)!
