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.

Gene Tierney was so hot that she could make a frumpy rain hat look sexy RC-2013-112: The Film Noir Series — Laura (1944) Your browser does not support this audio Otto Preminger's Laura is beloved by many a noir aficionado, and I'm out to figure out why. (Could it have something to do with Gene Tierney being nuclear hot? Hells yeah.) I have fun with the movie, lamenting the fact that the opening titles sequence wasn't created by Saul Bass and declaring that Preminger's directorial style is "slick." Listeners might begin to suspect that there isn't an actor from the 30s and 40s that I don't adore as I swoon over the verbal acuity of Clifton Webb, the implacable demeanor of Dana Andrews, and the radioactive...uh, talent of Tierney. Along the way, I analyze the bizarro story story structure, discuss Daryl F. Zanuck's alleged homophobia, and examine the lapels on Vinny Price's double-breasted suits. Due to the Rank Speculation software I have running on my brain, I also speak about how Laura may have weighed heavy on the mind of David Lynch when he made Mulholland Dr. and how Preminger's picture also has similarities to Gilda, Vertigo, and a couple other classics the posters for which are hanging in my bathroom. Show Notes The late Roger Ebert's "Great Movies" essay on the picture Some insight into David Raskin's score Clifton Webb's unofficial, posthumous web presence (!) Richard Shickel's review of that Preminger biography I mention A tumblr dedicated to sexy-ass Gene Tierney Listen to the mp3, or kick it iTunes style.
