Films We Should Have Seen By Now Sep 09, 2019

Show notes

In episode one hundred of movies imo, Ben, Brandon, and Daniel yell over each other about three movies they’d wished they’d had the chance to discuss on the podcast: Ben offers up Lars von Trier’s devastating death penalty musical DANCER IN THE DARK, Brandon brings Steven Spielberg’s bleak dystopian fantasia AI: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE to the table, and Daniel serves to the group Alan J. Pakula’s paranoid thriller/podcast outro feature KLUTE. On this final episode of the podcast, they also list their ten individual favorite new-to-me films discussed while on the mic. Ben makes the case for Jane Fonda as one of the ten best Best Actress winners in Academy history, Daniel celebrates the seemingly askew coverage of Björk’s dance numbers, and Brandon debuts (and edits) his Spielberg ranking live on the air. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for listening - and we looking forward to meeting you all at 23 Commerce Quay, 1080 Bruxelles for an ice cold Anchor Steam!

Love, Simon Mar 26, 2018

Show notes

In episode twenty-five of movies imo., Ben, Brandon, and Daniel take a step back into the closet and break its doors down with LOVE, SIMON, the first major American studio film to follow a gay teen in the lead role on his journey to come out. Your fav film f*gz get real personal as they share their own recollections of high school life in the closet, and celebrate the film on its own genre terms as well as in connection to the emotional earnestness of John Hughes’s FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF. Ben applauds the film’s breadth of queer expression while catching his own breath at Natasha Rothwell’s tubes being tied, Daniel catches flack for wanting more from the ending, and Brandon breathes a heavy sigh of relief that this groundbreaking film is actually good.
