    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.

Aisha Jamal on A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
Q: What of the film, if anything, has influenced you? Have you taken any opportunity to lift or quote or reference or borrow or steal? And if so, how?
Jamal says the film's diasporic approach to storytelling has influenced her: its references cross cinematic traditions and its setting mixes cultural and geographic signals. She sees a similar quality in her own films, which often follow people shaped by multiple influences and histories.
Aisha Jamal on A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
Q: But what was your first experience of it? Did you get to see it at a festival?
Jamal recalls seeing the film in a theater about eleven years earlier, after it had already gained a buzz. She was struck by the big-screen experience, especially its carefully chosen music and detailed sound design.
Kent Jones on The Passenger
Q: Where do you feel The Passenger fits into Antonioni's larger filmography?
Jones avoids ranking Antonioni's films, but says The Passenger is remarkable because its camera movement carries it beyond plot and intrigue, giving it an unusual resonance.
Kent Jones on The Passenger
Q: How long had it been since you last revisited it?
Jones says he had watched it with his wife a couple of years earlier, but did not revisit it for this discussion because every frame felt burned into his memory.
Cassie Workman on Eurovision Song Contest - The Story of Fire Saga
Q: What do you think of the progression of horror and where we've landed now?
Wilner argues that internet rabbit holes, information overload, and uncertainty about what is real have helped make folk horror and stories about forces beyond human control appealing.
