I really enjoy most of this pod and can’t say anything negative about Brian. But damn, Elric talks way too much and you can tell Brian gets tired of it. Elric has a habit of saying he doesn’t want to smile a movie and then proceeds to tell you everything about that movie. It’s a bummer. Lastly, Elric does this thing, “this one could be paired with” blah blah blah. It’s corny.
Tremendous recommendations for cinephiles in search of unseen gems
Having tuned into Elric for over a decade and then following this podcast since it began, I’m amazed and deeply grateful that I’m still learning so much and having a blast while I do. Contagious passion about movies these guys have and such a wealth of knowledge, as well as just a great conversational hang out vibe. Thanks for the movie discoveries and the good listening
The enthusiasm for film is infectious. Brian and Elric really bring it. An outstanding podcast.
I love Edgar. And his thoughts on Christine, spot on. My thoughts:
clear through every choice in music, Christine was talking to us, to Arnie. And the brilliance of that seduction scene with that smoky, porno wail. Wow.
After Christine is destroyed, laid bare, she “dances” for Arnie — slow, sultry and as enticing as any girl. He couldn’t wait to get his hands on her.
I really enjoyed the rewatch, focusing my attention on Christine’s “dialogue”.
This was a musical, we just didn’t realize it.
