  • One of the best pods around

    The highlight of my week is when Len and Vincent release a new episode. I listen to a multitude of podcasts but this is the only one where I listen to EVERY episode that’s released. Their perspective is so fresh, nuanced, and fun, you’re unlikely to find it elsewhere.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MISSION LOGS: Higher Learning (1995) with Joe Illidge and N. Steven Harris
Q: What did you think about the film?
The film was recommended due to its ambition and relevance, even as it showcased some outdated performances.
MISSION LOGS: Higher Learning (1995) with Joe Illidge and N. Steven Harris
Q: Why Higher Learning?
N. Steven Harris chose 'Higher Learning' because it was a film that stayed with him, prompting a rewatch to see if he still felt the same way.
MISSION LOGS: Johnsn Family Vacation (2004)
Q: Would you recommend the Johnson family vacation?
Not only would I not recommend it, but this actually seems like a film that we should ask a question we do sometimes.
Enemy Mine (1985)
Q: In a film where Louis Gossett Jr. gives birth and dies, does the movie stand out?
The film's shift in dynamics creates a bizarre twist that holds the audience's attention but detracts from its overall narrative impact once Gossett Jr. is no longer present.
MISSION LOGS: Bamboozled (2000) with Omar Dorsey
Q: Why did you choose Bamboozled and what does it mean for you?
Bamboozled resonates with me as it explores themes of identity and the challenges actors face against the backdrop of stereotypes.
