Three Thousand Years of Longing with Evan Yee (2022) Sep 21, 2022

Show notes

Evan Yee jumps on the podcast at the last minute to discuss George Miller's Fury Road followup, Three Thousand Years of Longing. An ode to romance, storytelling and life itself, this film is refreshingly sincere if slightly unconventional. Join us as we discuss its themes, execution and place in Miller's legacy.

Real Women Have Curves with Carmella Diaz-Lolar (2002) Sep 14, 2022

Show notes

Austin is busy gallivanting around Italy so Mella from When Cinephiles Attack joined Raymond in the podcast factory for a discussion of Patricia Cardoso's Real Women Have Curves. We discuss the film's legacy, Cardoso's attention to detail and America Ferrera's brilliant breakout performance. This indie trailblazer may be underseen but it undoubtedly deserves a place in the visual canon.

Thief (1981) Sep 07, 2022

Show notes

We celebrate Labor Day and give another tip of the cap to James Caan with a discussion of Michael Mann's proletarian powerhouse debut, Thief. Rich with atmosphere and obsessed with process, Thief is a simple story that's elevated by masterful filmmaking and topnotch performances. It's so good, Austin would try to steal the election from Misery again if he could. Whether or not he gets the diamonds, James Caan will always have our hearts.

The Searchers with Keir Siewert (1956) Aug 31, 2022

Show notes

Join us as we discuss the film that looms the largest over Scorsese's early work, John Ford's The Searchers. Our guest breaks down the many reasons he counts this as his favorite film of all time and we end the episode by running down a few favorites of our own with the highly anticipated Western Draft.

The Yakuza (1974) Aug 24, 2022

Show notes

After mentioning it on multiple episodes, we finally jump into the Time Tunnel to discuss Sydney Pollack's The Yakuza. It's always tough for me to figure out what to write here but it's even more difficult this week because I don't leave a whole lot left unsaid during this discussion. In case you can't tell, this is one of my favorite films but it launches a much broader conversation on film culture in the 21st century, how this movie might be different today, what makes a great onscreen hero and why Ken Takakura fits the bill.

We'll be back next week with The Searchers. Enjoy the show!

Nope with Ra'Shawn Durell and Carmella Diaz-Lolar (2022) Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

Ra'Shawn and Mella from When Cinephiles Attack join us for a discussion of Jordan Peele's newest nightmare. We're talkin' Gordy, we're talkin' Kaluuya, and you better believe we're talkin' about how this movie (like all movies) is a western. Then, we end the episode by discovering that Austin is a bad planner and worse negotiator. As I upload this at 2:45 AM, I'm sure of exactly one thing; This podcast is a bad miracle.

The Color of Money with Darren Mooney (1986) Aug 10, 2022

Show notes

They said we couldn't talk about The Color of Money for three hours but they were (mostly) wrong. Author/Film Critic Darren Mooney joins Raymond for a discussion of Martin Scorsese's wilderness years, the evolution of the movie star and some thoughts on the film industry's future. Then, Austin swoops in for a deep dive on The Color of Money and a further appreciation of its predecessor.

The Hustler (1961) Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

Does Raymond have talent? Does Austin have character? Find out for yourself as we lay the groundwork for next week's Color of Money discussion with some background on Fast Eddie Felson and the silver screen icon that portrayed him. We dig into The Hustler's highlights and lowlifes and, in classic CineMythology fashion, eventually conclude that this movie about a guy playing pool is somehow a western. Rack 'em!

After Hours with Karsten Runquist (1985) Jul 27, 2022

Show notes

Well, we had Karstcast host and video essayist extraordinaire Karsten Runquist on to discuss one of his favorite Scorsese movies and then most of his audio was lost. Prior to editing the podcast, I recorded a brief intro explaining our new release schedule and didn't mention the missing audio because I didn't know that it was missing until I started editing the episode at my girlfriend's place a few hours later. Now it's 3:30 in the morning and I'm finishing the edit but I don't have my microphone so I can't record a new intro with a disclaimer about the audio issues and, frankly, I just want to get this thing uploaded so my night can be over. Pretty hack for the universe to After Hours me while I'm editing a podcast about After Hours but, like Paul Hackett himself, I probably deserve it.

BONUS: Mad God with Michael Luxemburg (2021) Jul 22, 2022

Show notes

When Austin's away, the demons will play. Join Raymond and Lux on the Highway to Hell as they discuss Phil Tippett's stop motion magnum opus, Mad God. After thirty years in the oven, this carnival of horrors has finally been unleashed on the viewing public and is available to stream on Shudder. We explore the depths of Tippett's inferno before discussing the dustup over another recent streaming debut. Listener beware, this way lies madness!
