Daughters of the Dust with Mella (1991) Jun 14, 2023

Mella from When Cinephiles Attack returns to the podcast to discuss Julie Dash's first and only theatrical feature. We interrogate the movie's place in film history, discuss the origins of the L.A. Rebellion and find a profound sense of meaning in license plates.

Boyz N The Hood (1991) Jun 01, 2023

Show notes

We celebrate the late great John Singleton by discussing his seismic feature debut and the legacy he left behind. From the extraordinary cast to Singleton's technical flourishes, this picture truly deserves its place among the classics.

GoodFellas with Becky Catalano (1990) May 25, 2023

Show notes

Returning champion Becky Catalano joins us for a discussion of Scorsese's most popular flick and the debut of a new segment which goes surprisingly well. We cover everything from the towering performances to the non-stop needle drops, underlining the film's humor and humanity along the way. Are these Fellas actually Good? Tune in now to find out.

Slacker (1990) May 16, 2023

Show notes

This one was recorded a while ago and Austin and I were talking about the (then) impending writers strike which ended up becoming a major chunk of this episode. We got pretty deep into A.I. generated "art" and how it fits within broader political and cultural trends in America, what that portends for our future and how Slacker is a weirdly appropriate movie for this current moment.

New York Stories (1989) Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

Not sure if anybody reads these but feel free to skip out on this movie after Scorsese's segment. We mostly talk about that one and then just kind of bounce off the other two into tangents about art, artifice and artificial intelligence. Should be a good listen.

Sex, Lies and Videotape (1989) Mar 26, 2023

Show notes

Things get hot and heavy on the pod as the boys discuss Steven Soderbergh's feature film debut. The conversation kicks off with some essential haircut talk before pivoting to the movie's brilliant cast and script. Eventually, Austin gently nudges Raymond into a rant about the film's impact on the industry as a whole and he talks for twenty minutes straight without taking a breath. Healthy relationship with movies ya got there, Creamer.

The Last Temptation of Christ with Michael Burns (1988) Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

We rise from our grave to discuss Scorsese's Mount Everest, The Last Temptation of Christ. Michael and Austin say a bunch of interesting, thought-provoking, philosophical stuff while Raymond does his best to not sound stupid. Thanks for hanging in there, folks. Enjoy the show.

Bonnie & Clyde (1967) Dec 24, 2022

Show notes

Not gonna lie, this one got away from us. We talk about Bonnie & Clyde's place in film history and American history more broadly which opens things up to a discussion of how we think of outlaws today, how culture has shifted over time and the ways in which our technology and institutions have failed us. All of that said, we bring it back to the movie to end on a hopeful note in these troubled times.
