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.

The dark knight rises... RC-2013-111: No Country for Old Men (2007) Your browser does not support this audio Let's call this episode "The Roger Ebert Memorial Commentary." The prolific critic felt No Country for Old Men was as good as any picture made by the Coens (and in the very next clause he warmed my heart by adding, "and they made Fargo.") Still giddy from a recent revival screening, I quit swooning long enough to explicate a lot of what makes this movie so great. I describe the skillful visual storytelling techniques, the strange deja vu structure, and the philosophical concerns found in the works of both the Coens and Cormac McCarthy. I sing the praises of Woody Harrelson, too. Then, after taking some of the more asinine criticisms and interpretations to task, I get around to articulating my own reading of the film (sort of). This one's for Roger. Show Notes That super-comprehensive Wikipedia page on the film's themes and analysis An example of some slightly less-than-thoughtful criticism of NCFOM, along with a withering rebuttal to said criticism David Denby's review in which he wonders why Llewelyn didn't get a death scene A cool Coen Bros. fan site McCarthy's two-man play, The Sunset Limited A Sight & Sound essay on NCFOM Listen to the mp3.
