Shadows with Mallory Blair (1959) Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

The CassaBesties finally round the corner to John Cassavetes' directorial work with this discussion of his seminal feature debut. CineMythology's Austin Hayden pops in to discuss his favorite filmmaker and how Cassavetes' reputation has been unfairly pegged to a single aspect of his process. What makes Shadows so great and its creative success so difficult to replicate for generations of independent filmmakers? Press play to hear us break it down and click the link below to read Mallory's recent piece on Greta Gerwig in Little White Lies.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure with Amanda Chavez (1985) Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

Like Pee-wee Herman, Paul Reubens was one of a kind and there's no better film to remember him by than Tim Burton's madcap debut feature. We're joined by podcast logo artist extraordinaire Amanda Chavez to discuss all the bits, quotes, goofs and gags that we've been obsessing over since childhood.

The French Connection (1971) Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

Our run of tribute shows races on as we celebrate the late great William Friedkin with his Oscar winning masterpiece. You may think Popeye Doyle is a reckless monster but, at the end of the day, you'd be right. Buckle up, assholes, the only other Friedkin protagonist with this much pizazz is fucking Pazuzu.

The Last Waltz (1978) Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

After Robbie Robertson's death, we thought it would be appropriate to double back and discuss Scorsese's most iconic documentary but then we got carried away and ended up talking about Barbenheimer for most of the episode. Austin was on a tight schedule and I thought it'd be difficult to do 90 minutes on a rock doc so I took us down a few too many rabbit holes and, before I knew it, we were out of time. It's all tangentially related to The Last Waltz; we discuss big cultural moments and the manner in which our notions of celebrity have changed in the years since this film. I think it's still a good episode but it's just not a very good Last Waltz episode. What are you gonna do, ya know?

The Night of the Hunter (1955) Aug 16, 2023

Show notes

Let us tell you the story of Love and Hate.

We absolutely LOVE Charles Laughton's work behind the camera and we absolutely HATE that there isn't more of it.

Cape Fear with Becky Catalano (1991) Aug 09, 2023

Show notes

Martin Scorsese puts a new coat of paint on an old Hollywood classic. Break out your cigars and get ready to laugh out loud, but not in a genuine way, more in a really forced, purposefully obnoxious way that feels vaguely menacing.
