    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.

Karen Lam on In Bruges
Q: What did you love about the second viewing and what new aspects stood out?
Lam notes that after revisiting, the orchestral feel of the score, the rhythm of McDonagh's dialogue, and the way the film builds toward its inevitable confrontation stood out more clearly, revealing a deeper psychological sophistication and a tighter design than she initially perceived.
Jan-Ole Gerster on Taxi Driver
Q: Well, you said you were young, but how young?
He describes watching Taxi Driver in his early teens, around fourteen, and explains that it was a formative experience that helped him understand cinema as something made by people with vision and intention.
Courtney Summers on The Wolf of Snow Hollow
Q: What drew you to the film and its portrayal of trauma and family dynamics?
Courtney Summers discusses how the film's unflinching look at parenting, masculinity, and the emotional impact of trauma resonates with her YA work and how it elevates female perspectives within a typically male-centered genre.
Courtney Summers on The Wolf of Snow Hollow
Q: Did you watch it on your own or?
I was watching it on my own and then I made my mom watch it, and then I watched it again, and I can't stop talking about it.
Jonny Campbell on Get Carter
Q: Did you have fun watching it?
Yes, the film is a contagion thriller with a sharp edge of humor and a profound engagement with character, making the experience both entertaining and intellectually rewarding.
