Today we're doing a retrospective on John Cassavetes, arguably the father of American Independent Filmmaking. More specifically we're looking at the five of his films that made it into the Criterion Collection and discuss his style, direction, technique and the progression of them.
A fun episode! I had a lot of fun researching Cassavetes despite the fact that his movies were a lot of work to watch.
Hope you enjoy the episode.
Cheers!

We're Talking Turbo Kid! Directed by a very talented Trio: Anouk Whissell, François Simard, Yoann-Karl Whissell whose names I definitely butchered in the episode (apologies)
A fun movie that invites cheekiness and celebratory parody to the 80s nostalgia trend we've been noticing as of late. Truly fun filmmaking.
Synopsis:
In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, an orphaned teen (Munro Chambers) must battle a ruthless warlord (Michael Ironside) to save the girl (Laurence Leboeuf) of his dreams.

Today we're talking about Blue Velvet, In our opinion, David Lynch's most accessible film that still manages to capture that Lynchian spirituality of cinema that eludes a lot of the satisfying explanations that film critics want while talking about his work.
It's exciting and if you haven't watched any of Lynch's work before, a brilliant place to start.
Hope you enjoy the episode!
Cheers!

Today we're talking about Good Time! The Robert Pattinson Movie directed by the Safdie brothers. A great entry into the crime thriller genre with the grime and filth needed to create a strong sense of identity for itself.
Cheers!
Hope you enjoy the episode!

On this episode we're joined by the lovely Lauren Calucag once again to talk about Rian Johnson's Neo Noir Film "Brick".
Many people describe Brick as a filmmaker's film, with good reason, there is a ton of things to learn from a filmmaker as talented as Rian Johnson.
Cheers!
Hope you enjoy the episode!

So today we're talking about Raising Arizona, written by Ethan Cohen and Directed by Joel Cohen. Campy, Funny, but poignant and covered in Cohen Brother polish. Had a fun time watching and talking about this film and think it's a really good film to learn how to execute slapstick well.
Also! Sorry for the delayed posting. I got violently ill during the recording weekend and we had to push back the record day but here's the episode! Fresh off the press.
Enjoy!
Cheers!

Sorry for the Delay in the upload, Our editing process takes a little bit longer now and we had a late recording session for this one.
Today we're talking about Spike Lee's Jungle Fever. An Interesting film that provoked an interesting feeling, especially since it feels like a precursor to "Do The Right Thing" in terms of themes.

2018 is over! like, 4 minutes ago as I write this, and I have to say that it was a bizarre year. Some great films, some absolutely rubbish ones but an interesting year nonetheless. Thanks for the consistent support, thanks for texting us and listening and helping us make the show that we want to make.
We got some fun things planned in 2019. We're working with a new audio interface and software so the audio will inevitable have some kinks to work out over the next couple of weeks but it'll be worth it.
Hope you enjoyed our lists as much as we enjoyed making them. Please let us know what your favourite films of the year were.
Cheers!
