  • Great discussion, great films...but intrusive ads

    This show is a treat, host Chris Stachiw talks about a wide range of films and he has wonderful guests such as Mike White (The Projection Booth) and Father Malone (Midnight Viewing). Chris' is open to a films' merits and his guests opinion even when he himself doesn't like the film under discussion. And the show is a lot of fun and has introduced me to a lot of films.

    That being said, the ads are very intrusive, they seem to come up randomly (sometimes in the middle of sentence) and its the sa... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"We're all part monsters in our subconscious, so we have laws and religion!"
Q: What makes Forbidden Planet a timeless piece of science fiction?
The film combines a Shakespearean frame with Freudian psychology and a thoughtful meditation on power and ethics, using innovative visuals and a restrained approach to dialogue to let deep ideas resonate across decades.
"Have you ever known a place where God would have felt at home?"
Q: What memory from the set stands out?
The guest recalls the two-location shoot, the massive exterior set built to resemble a 13th-century monastery, and the dynamic of an international, close-knit cast that bonded over the long shoot.
"Have you ever known a place where God would have felt at home?"
Q: What was it like working with Sean Connery on a period piece of this scale?
The guest describes Connery as down-to-earth, generous, and unpretentious, often discussing golf, and notes the positive, collaborative atmosphere among the cast during production.
"Have you ever known a place where God would have felt at home?"
Q: Had you read the book prior to starring in the film?
The guest explains that they were aware of the book, found it extremely dense and challenging to read in depth, and relied on the script and provided context rather than a full read before joining the project.
"They want you to think it's you. You that's made this whole world. But it's always been them."
Q: Do the conspiracy theory elements feel earned or contrived?
The guests acknowledge well‑executed writing and character depth, while also debating whether some scientific claims are intentionally exaggerated to serve thematic critique rather than literal truth.
