Escape Hatch (formerly Dune Pod)

Latest Episodes:

The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) May 22, 2023

Show notes

We have long wanted to hear tales of Young Jason, and his collegiate days back at Princeton, whether it’s his rudimentary dietary habits or adventures as a young debate team warrior. This week, his fellow student and debate colleague Steve Yuhan joins us to provide contemporaneous documentation of these days. Then, we discuss Steve and Jason’s favorite movie of that era, the 1994 Coen Brothers’ classic, shot by Roger Deakins, and featuring performances by a transcendent Jennifer Jason Leigh and SILO’s Tim Robbins, The Hudsucker Proxy!

ONLY 3 EPISODES LEFT UNTIL THE END OF DUNE POD AND THE RELAUNCH OF THE PODCAST AS ESCAPE HATCH!

We welcome back star reporter and author of the bestselling biography Robin, Dave Itzkoff. We tackle Robin Williams’ first attempt at movie stardom, Robert Altman’s absolutely insane, cocaine fueled movie musical, featuring songs by the legendary Harry Nilsson, and filmed exclusively in a functional village that hundreds of carpenters built from scratch over a year, that 40 years later is still a standing tourist attraction on the isle of Malta, Popeye! What could go wrong? ONLY 4 EPISODES LEFT UNTIL THE END OF DUNE POD AND THE RELAUNCH OF THE PODCAST AS ESCAPE HATCH!

Rollerball (1975) Apr 10, 2023

Show notes

At long last, the return of super producer and co-host of The Letterboxd Show and 70mm, Slim. He’d always wondered why no one talks about 1975’s sci-fi film gladiator sports film that was James Caan’s follow-up to The Godfather, Rollerball. Now he knows. Is it an under-rated gem, attaining Kubrickian levels of genius, or does the story, pacing, editing, acting, costuming, sound design, and directing make this film a dud. Find out...NOW.
