Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trade Movies #021 - Mr. Turner (2014) & The Tree of Wooden Clogs (1978) with Emma
Q: Why did you choose Mr. Turner for this pairing?
Because Mike Leigh's approach to history and character feels intimately authentic, and Turner's life provides a lens on how art, class, and aging intersect in a way that makes the period feel alive and human.
Trade Movies #020 - To Be or Not to Be (1942) and Trouble in Paradise (1932) with director/showrunner/writer/actress Claudia Lonow
Q: What drew you to Lubitsch's work, and how do you see it influencing modern TV writing?
Claudia explains that Lubitsch's modern, rapid-fire dialogue and beat-based blocking offer template for pacing and character-driven humor, which she seeks to translate into contemporary TV writing and filmmaking.
Interview with Matthew Ellis about his new Weimar Cinema class on CineJourneys
Q: How will the class balance historical study with engagement in the films themselves?
The course blends lectures with open discussion, uses clips and readings, and invites students of all levels to contribute ideas in a structured, interactive format.
Interview with Matthew Ellis about his new Weimar Cinema class on CineJourneys
Q: Is there a connection between the Weimar period and later European cinema, like France or Italy, in terms of influence?
Ellis explains that while there are clear historical threads and shared ideas, the periods are distinct generational moments; the question is how those movements inform later cinemas, especially through exchange and cross-pollination.
Trade Movies #034 - $POSITIONS (2025) and La Strada (1954) with director Brandon Daley
Q: What were your reference points for Positions?
Brandon describes drawing from 90s comedies and 90s indie language, with a plan to shift the visual grammar as money changes hands; he mentions Spettters and Varsity Blues as tonal anchors, and discusses aiming for a balance between raw realism and a playful, punchy cadence.
