Grierson & Leitch

Latest Episodes:

"Under the Silver Lake," "Boogie Nights," "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover" Apr 22, 2019

Show notes

We have a little announcement to make at the beginning of the show, but don't worry, it's a good one. Then we discuss the cult-film-in-the-making "Under the Silver Lake," with Andrew Garfield. The real fun comes from the Reboots, with Paul Thomas Anderson's "Boogie Nights" and Peter Greenaway's "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover." Timestamps: 10:44 "Under the Silver Lake" 36:20 "Boogie Nights" 1:06:12 "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@gmail.com. As always, give us a review on iTunes with the name of a movie you'd like us to review, and we'll discuss it on a later podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"Hellboy," "Her Smell," "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" Apr 15, 2019

Show notes

They made a new "Hellboy" movie? They did. And it is bad. Much better is Alex Ross Perry's "Her Smell," with Elizabeth Moss. But whatever your thoughts about either movie, neither is going to stand the test of time like Sergio Leone's "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." (In that order.) Timestamps: 9:27 "Hellboy" 29:44 "Her Smell" 46:50 "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

"Shazam!" "Pet Semetary," "High Life," "Amazing Grace" Apr 07, 2019

New movies, and they're both hits. First, it's the DC Comics "light" version with "Shazam!" Then there's a remake of the Stephen King novel "Pet Semetary." Then Grierson solos on two art-house hits: Claire Denis' "High Life" and the long-thought-lost Aretha Franklin documentary "Amazing Grace." Learn more about your ad choices.

"Dumbo," "The Highwaymen," "The Beach Bum" Apr 01, 2019

Show notes

First off, we apologize for the slightly worse audio mixing on this episode: It's Leitch's fault, he thought his mic was plugged in but wasn't. Sorry. Three new movies this week: Tim Burton's "Dumbo," John Lee Hancock's "The Highwaymen" and whatever the hell Harmony Korine is doing with "The Beach Bum." Also, Grierson talks briefly about "Diane."

"Us," "Dragged Across Concrete," "Roll Red Roll," "Rumble Fish" Mar 25, 2019

Show notes

There isn't much of a bigger story in movies right now than the release of a new Jordan Peele movie, and "Us" looks like it might be even a bigger hit than "Get Out." How does it compare to that movie, and how does it stand on its own? We have an extended conversation. Then we look at the Mel Gibson-Vince Vaughn cop thriller "Dragged Across Concrete," and the Steubenville documentary "Roll Red Roll." Then, in our Reboot segment, we look at Francis Ford Coppola's odd "Rumble Fish." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"Triple Frontier," "Zero Dark Thirty," "Haute Tension" Mar 18, 2019

Show notes

There's one new movie this week, from Netflix: J.C. Chandor's "Triple Frontier." Ben Affleck! Oscar Isaac! It is ... not that inspired. What IS inspired is "Zero Dark Thirty," which we discuss in our Reboot segment. What a movie. Also: The French horror film "Haute Tension." Learn more about your ad choices.

"Captain Marvel," "Gloria Bell," "Apollo 11," "The Apartment" Mar 11, 2019

Show notes

"Captain Marvel" might not be the most ambitious or original Marvel movie, but it's still a historic one, and not just because of the box office receipts. We dig into the origin story, and how it leads into the next (and final?) "Avengers" movie. Grierson solos on "Gloria Bell" and "Apollo 11," and then we dig into our Reboot movie, the Best Picture-winning Billy Wilder film "The Apartment." Learn more about your ad choices.

"Leaving Neverland," "Climax," 'Greta" Mar 03, 2019

Show notes

The movie everyone's talking about this weekend didn't get a theatrical release at all, but we felt it had to be discussed: HBO's shattering documentary "Leaving Neverland." It's quite an experience. It's strange that a Gaspar Noe movie could be "lighter" fare, but his "Climax" has received his best reviews in years. Also, we dig into Neil Jordan's weird, tonally off "Greta," Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

2019 Oscars Recap, "Fighting With My Family," "Paddleton," "Badlands" Feb 25, 2019

Then we discuss the WWE fantasy "Fighting With My Family" and Netflix's "Paddleton." And in our Reboot section, we dig into Terrence Malick's "Badlands." Learn more about your ad choices.

Then they look at the Robert Rodriguez-James Cameron collaboration "Alita: Battle Angel." Then we've got quite the Reboot: 1994's "Interview With The Vampire." Hoo boy, this movie.
