    Fascinating story. I haven’t seen this film but now want to watch it. Being European, I was aware of Christiane F. and The Baader Meinhof Complex, also excellent films. Thanks for highlighting this one. Noam Gonick is a great guest and Norm Wilner an amazing host.

  • Very interesting but...

    You have to put up with more than occasional typical Hollywood left-wing garbage. The once upon a Time in Hollywood episode is the worst kind of garbage naval gazing you'll never hear. It's awful. If you understand the left, however, it makes sense because to them, SJW insanity is a religion. Regarding the film analysis, it is very interesting. The podcast that deserves 10 stars is the Jaws one. Loved the enthusiasm on that. That's how to do it.

  • 10 years!

    I am now updating my own third anniversary review to reflect the additional years of what this podcast does so well: being insightful and enthusiastic. So many of these have led me to rewatch the movie being discussed, or check out a film I wouldn’t have otherwise considered. And often it’s also put the guest’s project on my radar. I have to credit this show for many happy viewing experiences.

  • I love these conversations

    I’ve been listening for years but listening to your Sirk discussion finally got me off my duff and into this review space. I’m learning so much and I LOVE how fluidly you go with whatever and wherever your guest takes the convo. Just a genuinely smart and engaging show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Blake Winston Rice on Hamnet
Q: What did you think of Hamnet?
The film presented an inevitable outcome which affected the emotional engagement for me, although it was solidly crafted.
Guillaume Marbeck on Breathless
Q: How much of the research was about the filming of Breathless in the first place and his response afterwards and how much of it was before?
Marbeck felt that gathering as many inputs about Godard's life and the context in which he worked was crucial for portraying him authentically on screen.
Elliott Hasler on Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl
Q: If you were given a shot at a Pirates sequel, if you were asked to pitch, would you be interested and where would you want to take the story?
Yes, I'd be interested, but I would say a scaled back approach that ties back to the first one, focusing on the history and mythology.
Kourtney Roy on District 9
Q: What do you think makes District 9 such a remarkable film?
It combines sci-fi elements with social commentary and presents complex characters like Vickus, who is neither purely heroic nor villainous.
Chris Nash on The Eclipse
Q: Is there anything from The Eclipse that's worked its way into your own work?
I think the hyper realism and grounding definitely, as fantastical as some of the death scenes are in In a Violent Nature.
