I'm Rob. On this site, I post my alternative audio commentaries on movies.
One can glean more details about who I am, where I've been, and how obnoxious I can be sometimes by listening to the aforementioned commentaries. (Seriously, it's almost like all I do is talk during those things.)
I craft these commentary tracks as easygoing acts of impromptu film criticism, my half of a conversation about movies between myself and the person listening. Sometimes I say crazy things with which you will disagree. Other times I get a minor detail wrong, and a wave of fanboy self-satisfaction will wash over you when you realize you caught my tiny error regarding something utterly meaningless. Either way, I like it when listeners explain my craziness to me, or enlighten me about whatever else is on their mind. (Send feedback to robcompodcast@gmail.com. We'll debate the merits, then hug it out.)
Thanks for stopping by.

Kirk Douglas, Porter Hall, and Jesus Christ debate journalistic ethics in Billy Wilder's Ace in the Hole (Douglas had top billing) RC-2013-116: Ace in the Hole (1951) Your browser does not support this audio More thrilling than going over Niagara Falls in Kirk Douglas' barrel chest, Ace in the Hole stands tall among the giants of Wilder's career. I praise the wittiness of the dialogue and marvel at the depravity of Douglas' character, Chuck Tatum. Musings about journalistic ethics give way to my ranking of the movie near the top of Wilder's filmography. Do I successfully spot all the nods to Double Indemnity? Does Douglas' topless scene have artistic merit? And does the boyish Herbie character moonlight as Captain Marvel? Listen to the track to find out. You deserve answers. I screened the Region-1 Criterion Collection DVD. To sync, hit "pause" after the Criterion logo fades from the screen, then wait for my countdown. Show Notes The curious case of Floyd Collins Spike Lee is a fan of the film Is it a film noir? (Not addressed in the commentary—if folks want to count it as an "epic noir," I say cool) I said the original title was "The Carnival," but it was actually "The Big Carnival," and it was not the original title, rather, it was what Paramount re-titled the film just prior to its release and without Wilder's consent Get the mp3, or keep the iTunes carnival humming along.
