Panning the Stream

Latest Episodes:

Minority Report Jun 07, 2020

Show notes

Steven Spielberg proves that he can see into the future, thanks to this 2002 film that invents multi-touch displays, smart home devices, self-driving cars, facial recognition, and Tom Cruise running a lot. Okay, maybe it didn't invent that last one.

Devs May 31, 2020

Show notes

Alex Garland brings his science-heavy style to the small screen with this contemplation of quantum mechanics, free will, and determinism. And Dan and Bonk are the perfect audience considering we totally understand all of that stuff!

Highlander May 17, 2020

Show notes

Who wants to live forever? We really don't, but we do want to gush about this ambitious sci-fi/fantasy classic. There can be only one, and all that!

Broken Arrow May 10, 2020

Show notes

John Woo and John Travolta are such a potent combination that it led to a film that Dan and Bonk screened at their wedding. Broken Arrow isn't quite on the "wedding screening" level of quality of Face/Off, but there's still a good deal of fun to be found here.

Show notes

We went in blind, and didn't expect so much bloodshed in a movie featuring the "romance" tag on Hulu.

Aguirre, the Wrath of God Apr 12, 2020

Show notes

Werner Herzog (close personal friend of one of the hosts of this podcast) made several films with noted crazy person Klaus Kinski. In this tale of the search for El Dorado, Kinski menacingly glares at people for an hour and a half and we're sure everything winds up going just fine for everyone by the end!

Son of the Mask (Guest: Ben Hanson) Apr 05, 2020

Show notes

Jim Carrey carried (Carreyed?) the first Mask movie with his otherwordly talent for physical comedy. We're sure that Jamie Kennedy, a dog, and a CGI baby can do it just as well!
