We’re Jake & Mitch, two lifelong pals on opposite coasts who love movies. Each week we recommend each other a film based on a prompt we choose. This leads to some fresh insight into each of our respective tastes as well as wildly different interpretations of both movies. Do Midsommar and Monsters Inc. work as a double feature? Is Titanic just Parasite set on a boat? Did Christopher Nolan steal all of his ideas from a lost French student film shot on a flip phone?
We try to keep things spoiler-free, so feel free to dive-in without seeing the movies beforehand if you’re on the fence, or watch along with us and see if Jake’s simply thinking way too deep about the color of the rug in the opening scene, or if Mitch somehow makes you realize that what you just watched was actually somehow like that other movie.
We hope our podcast encourages everyone to check out our favorite movies, seek out new ones, and above all, enjoy cinema.

Pangzi from the film Yi Yi (2000) says it best: “Life is a mixture of happy and sad things. Movies are so lifelike - that's why we love them”
While trauma is a feeling that people typically want to avoid in their lives, some of us love to self-sabotage and seek it out in films. Allowing us to experience trauma and other negative emotions in the comfort of our homes can actually be a cathartic and even therapeutic experience.
In our third episode of the Fox Den Film Club we each discuss a film that traumatized us. For those who are seeking a very unique sensation, these picks might just do the trick!
Jake selected Blue Valentine (2010, dir. Derek Cianfrance).
Mitch selected Noriko’s Dinner Table (2005, dir. Sion Sono).
As always, it is not necessary to have seen either of these films prior to listening – but watching along with us could make it more fun! We try our best to avoid spoilers.
Enjoy and welcome to the Fox Den Film Club!
