  • Always a Weekly Highlight

    It’s like if Frog and Toad (the Arnold Lobel characters) had a podcast where they just talked about movies and culture while cooking // doing laundry. Sent here via The Flop House after hearing Alonso’s episodes // amazing voice. Not surprised one bit that his husband’s voice is equally fantastic.

  • I love these 2

    My favorite gay married couple/ pair of movie critics. Dave White is correct that he is a sweetheart, despite the fact that he looks like a trucker and has a gravelly speaking voice that makes Tom Waits sound like a sparrow. I would totally hug him if given the opportunity.

  • A cinema nerd’s delight

    Alonso & Dave know a LOT about films and critique in general. They have a long history of quality published books, articles and reviews along with many years of podcasts. Dave’s oh-so-seductive growl dovetails splendidly with Alonso’s soothing purr to provide an enjoyable ASMR for movie fans with a wide range of tastes and genres. Their rapport is funny, thought-provoking, and genuinely sweet. Long may they run.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LK Special: Bleu! Letters!
Q: What are your thoughts about matching tone or finding the vibe, say, that the film or the actors were ever going for and enhancing that or playing with it?
Bleu says composers need to balance respect for a director's vision with pushing the director creatively. He adds that music editing and direction can affect how a score works, and that scoring choices depend on the film and the viewer.
LK Special: Bleu! Letters!
Q: But where did this piece of music come from?
Bleu says he wrote the theme as a candidate for Parks and Recreation, and it was among the final three or four options considered.
LK Special: "Boorman and the Devil" director David Kittredge
Q: How long did it take to make the documentary, and what motivated you to start?
It began in earnest after a push from a friend in 2017, but the project stretched over seven years due to the complexity of securing access, archival work, and the desire to tell a fuller, more responsible story about the making-of than a simple retrospective.
LK Special: Stephen Rebello on "Criss-Cross" and "Hitchcockian Thrillers"
Q: What is Hitchcockian, please?
Hitchcockian is less about branding a specific visual style and more about a mood and mindset: an atmosphere that feels hypnotic, with characters who are beautiful but not straightforward, often dangerous, and whose inner lives drive suspense beyond simple mystery.
LKTV Special: Jessica Yu (A Very Jonas Christmas Movie)
Q: Did you have any sort of, any Christmas movies of the past that were maybe your guiding star here in terms of like trying to get certain shots or, you know, establishing a mood or a visual tone?
Jessica Yu explains she's not a big Christmas movie person and generally prefers comfort movies like "Mad Max Fury Road," but enjoyed the self-awareness and dynamics portrayed in the script for "A Very Jonas Christmas."
