We are thrilled to finally have another film from our (second?) favorite Danish director. Breaking the Waves (1996) is the first film Lars von Trier made after establishing the Dogme 95 framework, but he mostly ignored that to make a 1970s period pie... more
The back story on Don Siegel's fantastic Riot in Cell Block 11 (1954) is pretty crazy, and I promise we do eventually talk about it this week. But this is a message picture about prison reform, so we have to spend some time talking about the history ... more

- Great discussions of interesting movies
I appreciate the “two friends talking about movies” vibe of this, especially when they bring their cultural knowledge and political perspectives to bear on the films. They let you know when they don’t think a movie deserves its reputation, but they also recognize and appreciate genius when they see it. They are also funny, congenial hosts, and the theme music is so damn catchy.

Canadaa year ago - i really wanted to like this
but it’s just terrible. condescending, moralizing, extended periods of literally each guy saying “yeah uh huh” multiple times to each other while laughing about the film. they don’t like these films, don’t like the directors, don’t like the people who like these films. not knowing who john cazale was the last straw though. just another couple of smug guys with zero frame of reference prior to ~2015 and proud of their ignorance.

United States2 years ago I'm pretty mixed on this podcast. There are some good discussions to be had and I appreciate the effort they put in to provide background context to the movies. However, for the amount I've listened to now ~25 they spend way too much time talking about what they don't like with some episodes having no positivity. If they read this I would say, negativity is not interesting to listen to.
Podcast Addict43 years agoBurt_Macklin- Good Show; Too Much Banter
Guys I like the show but you are surely losing a lot of listeners with your pre-film banter. Your strength is the review and analysis. If this whole endeavor is for you then don’t change a thing. If it is for the audience (or both), then improve the banter or drastically cut it or eliminate it or use chapter indexing so we can skip right to the movie content.
This is all intended as constructive criticism.
I appreciate you doing criterion films.

Great subject matter. Unfortunately these guys can’t keep a thought together without drifting off topic. Only heard the Ikiru episode but I won’t return to this pod.
