Episode 196: Halloween Oct 30, 2019

Show notes

David and James stand ominously and stare in through the window of the horror genre at a defining movie that set the course for the slasher genre. They take a stab at understanding our film fascination with fear, and this particular slice of cinematic history in terms of what is says about morality and the "final girl" trope. Join them as they unmask Halloween and examine the film's ambiguities and seeming contradictions, thanks to our Patreon supporters and their pick for our podcast this month! As referenced in the episode, here's James' legacy article from Cinemagogue on the holy, hellish, hodgepodge history of Halloween!

Episode 195: Zombieland: Double Tap Oct 25, 2019

Show notes

Join our hosts, Seattle and Martinsburg, as they take a shambling look at the second shot of Zombieland. From the genre in general to the themes of this film - rules, pacifism and a healthy dose of political incorrectness - we see if this comedy has any brain matter in its cinematic cranium.

Episode 192: Taxi Driver Oct 04, 2019

Show notes

Go for a ride with David and James as they see how Taxi Driver fares after forty years. What drives Travis Bickle, and does the narrative steer into dangerous territory? Considering this (and The King of Comedy, another De Niro film) are noted influences on the controversial Joker film, it seemed wise to review this historic film in light of imminent debate.

Show notes

"IT girl" Kathryn Harleman joins James for our return to Derry... from the book, to the first film, and how the lengthy part 2 stacks up against both King and Curry.

Episode 190: Triple Frontier Sep 06, 2019

Show notes

David and James journey with Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac and Charlie Hunnam to South America, self-interest, and stark consequences. in this heist film that is perhaps more honest and sobering than others that glamorize the criminal behavior.

Watch the Netflix original and listen to their reflections on temptation, greed, self-righteousness and more.
