  • Unlistenable

    I tried one episode but had to stop. The lady in the show couldn’t get thru one sentence without saying like or you know or so um yeah.

    I looked at the timer and started counting the number of likes she said in one minute. I got up to 12 and before the minute stopped I gave up and shut it off. Saying like 4 times in one sentence was the breaking point.

    There’s dozens if not hundreds of movie related podcast out there. This one doesn’t need to exist.

  • Great conversations on classic films

    I met Bryan earlier and he suggested I give this a listen, and so far, I’m not disappointed. I love your guy’s talks on these movies, and can’t wait to hear more in the future. If you ever talk about films like Big Fish or Lost Highway, maybe even hit me up!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lost Highway (1997)
Q: Does the Mystery Man, the first big step in Lynch and Barry Gifford's writing process, have a big impact on your enjoyment of this movie?
Harlow said he preferred focusing on the film's relationship dynamics rather than assigning the Mystery Man a definitive meaning. He liked that the character raises questions and remains unexplained.
Lost Highway (1997)
Q: What was your background with this movie and your expectations for today's recording?
Tyler Harlow had seen it before and described himself as a David Lynch fan who enjoys trying to interpret the director's visually distinctive films. Bryan Frye said it was his favorite Lynch film, partly because of its soundtrack.
Rio Bravo (1959)
Q: Rio Bravo is the story of Sheriff John T. Chance, a man with two problems. What are they?
An outlaw gang trying to bust their man out of jail and a staff consisting of a drunk, a kid, and a singer, creating a tense, intimate setup rather than a large-scale chase.
Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
Q: So if you were, let's think about our other movies before, recommending this to your friends, what is it that you recommend about it?
Michelle recommends the film as a historical crime spree while warning viewers that it is not a precise retelling and should be read alongside real histories; she emphasizes the mythic portrayal by Penn and the compelling performances, especially Dunaway's, as reasons to watch.
Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)
Q: DJ, had you seen Fried Green Tomatoes before?
Yes, growing up in Georgia, it was pivotal; he saw it young and it shaped his view of the film.
