  • 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.

  • RENT!

    You know nothing about RENT Dave. You didn’t come to New York to see the original cast who actually knew Jonathan Larson. There are a lot of great songs and it’s a magnificent riff on La Boheme of which you also seem to have no understanding. It flew over your head Dave.

  • Needs editing desperately. Incredibly slow, mumbly, endless pauses and asides. They are eating the mic... Gotta sound mega masculine, I guess. Maybe let the pop shield do its job.

  • Can’t stand Alonso

    Good Lord, Alonso is such an ego maniac. Truly an annoying voice to listen to while driving. Get over yourself, Alonso!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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."
LK Special: Alissa Wilkinson, "We Tell Ourselves Stories: Joan Didion and the American Dream Machine"
Q: How do you see Joan Didion's writing resonating today?
Alissa reflects on Didion's critiques of political culture and how they relate to contemporary concerns.
LK Special: Alissa Wilkinson, "We Tell Ourselves Stories: Joan Didion and the American Dream Machine"
Q: What was your personal connection to Joan Didion's work?
Alissa relates her experience of sudden grief and how Didion's writing resonated with her during that challenging time.
