Fly By Films

Blamison are back with a regular episode about a movie that know one fucking knows! We dig into the first of three feature films by Mark Romanek who is most known for doing the multi-million dollar budget music video for Michael Jackson's "Scream." The name of the movie is Static from 1985. We talk about the weird tonal shift in the final act of the film, hanging out with slackers, and grief of all things. Join us on this angelic adventure!Also talked about: Blake's post-punk journey, Blake's hatred of Pitchfork and why The Edge is not a cool nickname.Clip: Al Gore talking about creating the internet with Wolf Blitzer.

Blamison remain consistent in their inability to remain consistent as they take a break from forgotten films to talk about a show that is IN THE ZEITGEIST. This show is season two of The Rehearsal with Nathan Fielder. We dig into the true meta nature of Fielder and all of his shows--because they all feed back into this season--and what it is about this show that makes us giddy. Join us! We spoil everything so Beware! And Don't Care!Other Things Discussed: Part 1 of our diatribe on why Christian rock 'n' roll IS actually rock 'n' roll and then we talk about the best thing our kids have done in the past week.Clip: Airplane! (1980)

On this one-off episode of Will Blake Get Cancelled?, Jamison and Blake explain the curse that has been brought upon them by the likes of Ian Olson (of the upcoming Book of Common Terror podcast). We talk about 1992's Michael "MFumay" Mfume's Ax'Em and how nothing could save this film from its own incompetence. This is probably the hardest film we have watched to this point. Join us.Other things discussed: Ian's Native heritage, parenting (because this is a low-key better parenting podcast), and not Christian rock music.Clip from: Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson introduce the 2024 Detroit Lions game schedule.

Blamison made it back just in the nick of time to maintain the efficacy of their typical intro of "once or twice a month"! On this episode we play thought games with the 1996 comedic fable Multiplicity starring Michael Keaton and Andie McDowell and directed by Harold Ramis. But let's be honest, we hadn't talked in about a month, so most of this episode is just babbling.Other things talked about: Blake's mustache, his upcoming breakout talk at the NYC Mockingbird conference, and Jamison's trip to Japan.Clip: The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack

Blamison return to our regular length of blabbering on with this episode on the obscure and FORGOTTEN 1983 film Eureka starring none other than the man, the myth, and the legend: Rutger Hauer....and also Gene Hackman. We don't know quite what to do with this movie even though our review of it is nothing less than glowing. So, sit back and relax as we dig for gold and exploit the native populations under the guise of progressivism.Also talked about: religious faith and TA DA! our kids.Clip: Gene Hackman in Bonnie & Clyde (1967)

Blamison are back in the march towards the Ides with a banger of a film starring Mick Jagger as Ned Kelly (1970). And, get this!, Micky Boy only sings one song on this film and it is all the better for it. We talk about film, yes, but mostly about how fucking incredible this soundtrack is and why it makes the movie so much better than it actually is.Other things talked about: throwing Demetrius Sanders under the bus again and our favorite historical figures and their portrayals in cinema.Clip: "Insult Comic Restaurant" from Season 2, Episode 5 of I Think You Should Leave.

Blamison are back with a great episode on one hell of a film! 1972's Horror Express with Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and Telly Savalas is what would happen if Hammer tried to make John Carpenter's The Thing ten years earlier. Plus if you want to talk about representation on screen, then one of the under-represented great Christian denominations (which sounds suspiciously Protestant) is shown front and center in this film. Plus Cossacks!Other thing talked about: skateboarding maths, science's increasingly shady track record and Blake gets Cossacks and Hessians mixed up.Clip: "The Impossible Dream" by Christopher Lee

Blamison are back with a thrilling discussion about Jules Dassin's great and forgotten prison epic,Brute Force (1947). We dig into the types of prison movies that are made in Hollywood, the distinction between classic and modern acting, and how efficient filmmaking can deliver the goods over and over again.Also talked about: decentralized social media, home labs, and why Hershey's is shit chocolate.Clip:Smoky and the Bandit (1977)

Blamison have wrested control of the AI that took over last week and are getting into the nitty gritty of FORGOTTEN films. Per our rules, Blake picked out the 1988 whimsically nostalgic class warfare picture, Matewan. We talk about why the cinematography got nominated for an Oscar when it clearly sucks and also how good of a guy Chris Cooper is. Oh, and James Earl Jones. It's our first true episode of Season Four so you don't want to miss it. PLUS ITS SHORT. Other items talked about: the same typical bullshit. Clip: Office Space (1999)

The year's come to an end, and the world of film is as wild and unpredictable as ever. Welcome to Fly By Films, where the conversation isn't about what's hot or what's trendy — it's about the films that matter, the ones that've burned themselves into our memories and won't let go. No fancy lists here, just honest talk about the movies that made us laugh, cry, think, or sometimes just scratch our heads. Your hosts — Jamison Barsotti, a film lover with a sharp eye and an even sharper tongue, and Blake Collier, the eternal optimist who somehow still believes in the magic of cinema — will guide you through the mess of the year's best, worst, and everything in between. They'll be joined by a few voices who bring something more to the table: Ciara Barsotti, an artist whose eye for detail and depth uncovers the beauty in the forgotten frames; and, of course, William Blake, the cat who, despite not having thumbs, has an uncanny ability to judge films with a quiet intensity that puts even the harshest critics to shame. And then there's ChatGPT. Yeah, that damn machine. The hosts can't stand it, but they grudgingly let it in — mostly because it won't stop talking. It spits out facts, opinions, and cold, soulless analysis with a mechanical voice that somehow knows more about films than anyone in the room. But make no mistake, the hosts aren't here for it. They'd rather talk to the cat than let that algorithm dictate the conversation. It's like a ghost in the machine, except the machine is mostly annoying and knows how to ruin a good time. But that's the thing — this podcast isn't about what's polished or perfect. It's about the films that haunt us, the ones that stick with us long after we've turned off the screen. Some are new, some are old, but they all share that undeniable power to move, disturb, or leave us wondering what the hell we just saw. So grab a drink, settle in, and get ready for a conversation that's a bit raw, a bit messy, and definitely not for the faint of heart. It's not a countdown, it's not a critic's list — it's Fly By Films, where we talk about the films that matter, the ones that get under your skin and stay there. Or don't. And if William Blake the cat gives you that look, well, it's because you probably missed something important. You're welcome to argue with the machine, but it's just not the same as listening to a cat.* *written by ChatGPT as John Steinbeck.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Blamison are back for your Christmas pleasure. We are bringing all the goodies for the little boys and girls who listen to us. We talk (mostly tangentially) about the 1977 film The Crater Lake Monster, but more importantly we plan on going back to our roots for Season 4. Actual films that have been forgotten. We even set down rules for our picks. Other things talked about: The Chico mansion that burned down, memory, and the epistemology of forgotten films. Clip: Fatman (2020)

Blamison are BACK! On this episode we end off our Alien series with the most recent entry, Alien: Romulus. We talk about what works and what doesn't work in this Fede Alvarez film. We also briefly suggest deeper discussion of CGI ethics and then do nothing with it. Then we end off the episode with our final ranking and what is next for the podcast. Also talked about: the recent election and scary shit that has happened to us. Clip: The Goonies (1985)

Blamison dig into the Psycho franchise to uncover the actual heart of the whole series: Anthony Perkins. We analyze the original film, 2-4 and the 1998 remake by Gus van Sant in order to breakdown what makes this story so intriguing and how the trajectory of the series actually parallels David Gordon Green's Halloween trilogy. Also talked about: what horror we have seen recently, what we are doing with our families on Halloween, and general bullshit. Clip: "The Mike Wallace Interview" Ssn 2, Ep. 11 Intro.

Blamison talk with the man, the myth, the legend, Demetrius Sanders, about Oz Perkins' most recent offering, Longlegs (2024). We dig into how the film is set up as a crime procedural and subverts it in just about every way imaginable. We dig into the "brain" of the dolls and its links to Phantasm because why not? All in all, we dissect all of the ways that Longlegs works thematically and technically. So join us for this enthralling discussion. Other things talked about: Aliens, mythmaking, and Marshall McLuhan. Clip: Dead & Breakfast (2004)

On this episode, Blamison talk about Nepo-baby Osgood Perkins' third feature film, Gretel & Hansel. Of course, we talk about its occult geometries, the consumptive critique of society and just how damn good this movie ultimately is. This movie is primed to be Perkins' most accessible film and yet the marketing is botched by Orion. Go figure. Also talked about: nepotism, Perkins' obsession with young women, and more parenting bullshit. Clip: "Tooth Fairy Looks For a New Job" Eddie Murphy from early SNL.

Blamison pick up where they left off with Osgood Perkins' next released film Blackcoat's Daughter and this time they invite special guest Ryan Ellington of Grindhouse Theology and the Hardcore Baptist Convention™ onto the show. We break down how this early A24 offering is everything A24 wants to be and can never be again. We talk about how every choice Perkins makes in this film ripples into the present day "elevated horror" yet did it sincerely. Other things talked about: Backdoor Sluts franchise, the origins of Grindhouse Theology and being a Baptist minister. Clip: South Park, Ssn. 6 - "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers"

Blamison start off their Halloween series with a bit of a rocky start as Blake's mic seems to have been glitchy. First it sounds like Jamison is talking to himself, but eventually Blake's voice comes into the mix. This may be the case with the first three episodes...unfortunately. That being said we start our exploration with Osgood Perkins' first(?) film I Am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House which can only be found on Netflix much to our chagrin. We talk about watching this film inebriated or high or on acid and how nothing about this film seems like something that would get made now. Perkins hit the sweet spot with Netflix. Yet we find certain charms in the film. Also talked about: parenting, coming up with the name of our series, and the typical bullshit. Clip: Nathan For You, Sn. 2, Ep. 1

Blamison actually talk about the Alien films. They cover Alien³ (Assembly Cut), Alien: Resurrection, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. Also talked about: just how bad Aliens is and they rank the franchise sans Alien: Romulus. Clip from Sen. Ted Stevens describing the internet.

Blamison stretch the bounds of space and time and intellect in their discussion of the Alien franchise by exploring Alien³ (Assembly Cut) through to Alien: Covenant by way of CCM music, specifically the incestuous musical relationship between Decent Christian Talk, Audio Adrenaline and Newsboys. Stick around for this mind-expanding dive into the outer fringes of the Xenomorph mythos. Also talked about: not Alien, so if that is, like, a problem for you then wait two more weeks and you will get nothing but Alien talk. Clip from Multiplicity (1996).

Blamison deride the destestable follow-up to Alien with Aliens (get it? cuz there is more than one!) by the tech-obsessed (oblivious?) director James Cameron. We talk about the horrible characterizations, the special effects seams that are everywhere in this movie and how is the villains and locations were changed this film would be no different than an 80s actioner. And it doesn't stop there... Also talked about: What we will be doing in the coming days, podcast time traveling, infant corporate takeover. Clip: Key & Peele, Ssn 4, Ep. 1 - "Alien Invaders"

Blamison start a new series covering the main entries into the ALIEN franchise starting with the greatest of all 1979's Alien. We talk about how great the acting is, how seamless the effects are (and how they hold up over time) and some of our reasons for considering this movie a masterpiece. Also, talked about: why this August is gonna be a great music month and various other tangents as we attempt to get to the movie bullshit quicker than normal. Clip from: YouTube channel How It Should Have Ended - "NUTHIN' BUT AN ALIEN - An Alien and Dr. Dre Parody"

Blamison dig into the film/propaganda piece known as Sergei Eisenstein' Oktyabr (1927). While it's no Bronenosets Potyomkin (1925), we dig into how the film uses editing and montage to create cinema that is certainly decades ahead of its time. This is a jolly episode filled with political and economic opinions that will probably lose us more listeners, but we aren't in it for the money after all. Also talked about: dat parenting 'bolshevik', silent films and their bombastic music, and we become singular spokesmen for our cities. Clip from Season 6, Episode 24 of MADTv.

Blamison talk about the 2001 Oscar-bait film In The Bedroom by Todd Fields and the 2017 Mount Eerie album A Crow Looked at Me and discuss the theme of grief. This is a bit more of a downer episode than normal so gird your loins for some feelings (or lack there of--we're looking at you Blake). Other topics discussed: Tom Cruise's cousin, what we have been watching lately, and confirm that Frailty is indeed a superhero film. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

Blamison talk about the utter confusion that is Joel Schumacher's 1995 hit film and soundtrack, Batman Forever. Is it good? Is it perhaps the only gay superhero movie? What was Tommy Lee Jones thinking when starring in this film? Why in the world was this soundtrack a multi-platinum success? All of these questions are addressed adequately and answered inadequately as only Fly By Films can do. Other things talked about: our recent bouts with parasites and what we are reading, watching and listening to. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

Blamison talk about the 2018 film You Were Never Really Here directed by Lynne Ramsay and starring Joaquin Phoenix as well as the soundtrack by Jonny Greenwood. We dig into why Phoenix is a great actor and whether or not the ending of this movie is actually good. Other topics discussed: the Emerald Triangle, Missing 411, and Delillo's Underworld. Clip from I Think You Should Leave Season 1, Episode 5 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

Blamison begin a new ongoing series for season 3 by talking about the 2010 film The Book of Eli and pairing it with the 2001 underground hip hop classic The Cold Vein by Cannibal Ox. We dig into the film's peculiar place in recent cinematic history, its religious text (because there is little subtext), and what a couple of rappers from Harlem have to do with Denzel Washington. Other things discussed: Red Hot Chilli Pipers, Christian hip hop giants and shitty calculations. Clip from Training Day. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

Blake and Jamison dive into the manic pixie dreamland of Cameron Crowe's 2005 film Elizabethtown and talk about everything from daddy death issues to why reductive film criticism is annoying to what makes a great compilation soundtrack. Check it out! Things get a little emotional. Other things talked about: Jamison sets up a podcast-length game for Blake, the Brick app, and Jamison goes deep for a childhood memory that carries into the present. Clip from The Office S3, Ep. 4.

Jamison and Blake talk about the 1995 Jim Jarmusch film Dead Man, its score by Neil Young and how Roger Ebert was such a good rhetorician that even his dumbass takes are superbly written (and hilarious!). Our friend Greg Shafer joins us for this terrific conversation. Other things talked about: Catholicism, whether the invention of the automobile was good or not, and identity.

Jamison and Blake. IN THE SAME ROOM AT THE SAME TIME. WE EVEN SAW THE SAME MOVIE AT THE SAME THEATER. That's right! We watched Ethan Coen's first single outing post-Coen Bros. divorce: Driveaway Dolls. We discuss what Joel and Ethan's choice in filmmaking says about their past films and their future as individual filmmakers. Other items discussed: getting in on that parenting bullshit (but this time parenting in the same house!), what we catastrophize about and whether or not Stephen King killed John Lennon. This is an action packed live episode that should not be missed! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

Blake and Jamison talk about William Friedkin's 1977 work of old school sweaty-ass machismo Sorcerer. We dig into its seeming prelude to the gamification of everything down to the synth-y score by Tangerine Dream. It's a surprising take on the film that is sure to send some to permadeath by the end of the episode. Other things talked about: Jamison's plan to save all animals via veganism, parenting (again), and existential dread.

Blake and Jamison kick off a new season by trying out a new gimmick of picking films based on their soundtracks and being intentional to bring the film music into the typical conversations they have. On the first episode, we take on the 1961 Akira Kurosawa classic Yojimbo. Blake brings the film and its intentionally discordant music into conversation with Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian and it leads to a wild jaunt into chaos. Other things talked about: Jamison's Day Off, what discipline looks like in parenting, and we opine the state of capital punishment showcased by the death of Kenny Smith on Jan. 25th in Alabama.

Jamison and Blake are back in a fashionably late manner to ring in the NEW YEAR with our second annual podcast film ranking episode. We ranked our individual lists of the films we watched for season two of the podcast with points and conglomerated them into our starter list. From there Blake treats Jamison to a quiz about the filmmaking during the year of his birth--1987--and based on whether he gets the answers right or not, they get points to be used to switch films around on the list. Also talked about: favorite musical discoveries of 2023 and parenting children 2023's Final Fly By Films Ranking: 10. Mandy 09. Seven Psychopaths 08. Coherence 07. Four Brothers 06. Man Bites Dog 05.

Jamison and Blake bitch about work without getting too specific as to not lose their jobs, then they talk about parenting sick kids and those who won't sleep and Blake's skype goes in and out on this recording so enjoy that. We then turn our attention to 2013's indie science fiction film Coherence where a group of friends come face to face with themselves from other dimensions and have to decide who is from what dimension. With multiverse theory is there any way for people to crossover or is this all just pop science bs? Listen to the episode and find out! Clip from Deep Impact. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

On the last regular episode of 2023 the boys will be talking about the scrappy 2013 sci-fi mind bender Coherence. Jamie chose this film because his beloved Banana Slugs get a shout out. The less you know going into this one the better. Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

That's right. We are going indie for our final normal episode of the year. Get ready because Blake only chose it because he is a slacker and needs to write a chapter on it. So, there you go. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

Jamison and Blake figured the only way to finish up their review of the McDonagh Brothers' filmographies was to go dark, real dark. We talk about 2021's The Forgiven and 2022's Banshees of Inisherin and about the general lack of listeners we have had for these episodes. Also talked about: parenting, Blake's dedication to this podcast and the Catholicity of these films. Clip: Stephen A. Smith schooling some Youtuber on the film Cars. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

Well, it's Halloween finally. And we here at Fly By Films are wrapping up another year of horror-related field recordings. On this final episode, we dig into our final pre-2000 found footage film The Last Broadcast. It probably wasn't the best choice for our final film in the series, but, alas, beggars can't be choosers after all. We break apart what it does well and what it sucks at. Oh, and we talking about sucking snot, digging around in our shit for candy corn, and forgotten scenes from Bambi. Have a wonderful Halloween!

Jamison and Blake bring in the penultimate October episode by talking about their shitty producer and more parent talk before they dig into the stellar 1992 Ghostwatch and how it may say something about the corruption of technology and media via Stone Tape theory. We probably go deeper than was actually needed. Also, Blake clicks his mouse a lot. So enjoy that. Clip from Lost Highway. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

Blake and Jamison dive right in to the typical inane bullshit without even taking time to introduce the podcast. We talk donuts, parenting, and using donuts as a means to bribe our kids. Then we turn our attention to 1992's Man Bites Dog [aka by its film title as C'est arrivé près de chez vous] a charming coming of age tale about a documentary crew and their ruthless serial killer subject. Does this tick all of the found footage boxes? Or does it transcend all the worst parts of the subgenre? Listen and find out! Clip from I Think You Should Leave: "Ghost Tour". --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

Jamison and Blake start their second October episode with a rousing philosophical analysis of the word "spoop" and then we turn our attention to our favorite holidays. Mostly we are avoiding talking about The McPherson Tape because while it nails the found footage aesthetic, it falls flat on its face when it comes to scares and effects. We discuss the shift from footage with context to footage decontextualized for the audience and we pick apart what that shift is so fascinating. It's a fun (and, for us, mercifully short) episode! We hope you will join us. Clip from Mars Attacks. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

Blake and Jamison dish on their most recent book club book Michel Faber's The Book of Strange New Things and how it triggered Blake's memory of LOST. Then we talk about what we are drinking in order to prepare to talk about what some people eat...namely other people. That's right, we take on the cult classic Cannibal Holocaust as the first entry in our October series on proto-found footage films. In this episode, we talk about this film's reputation, how it started a subgenre craze, and simply whether it has anything valuable to say. Then we talk about the likelihood of watching Eli Roth's Green Inferno having now seen the original inspiration. It's a fun romp and we hope you enjoy it! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

Blake suggests using Zencastr once again on this episode and finds out that it really is as shitty as they once thought. Jamison and Blake continue to remind their listeners to not use Zencastr because it is no longer any good. We also talk about parental leave, a Chico, CA connection Blake has at his church, and what documentary is. With this, they turn their attention to Jamison's selection of three episodes or "short films" from "How To with John Wilson." They come to the conclusion that the show is what would happen if Woody Allen made documentaries. Off-putting, yet surprisingly profound in equal measure. Clip from The Life Aquatic. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

On the next episode, Blake and Jamison will be discussing three episodes from the HBO show* How To With John Wilson. For those following along at home, the episodes we will cover are How To Make Small Talk (S1E1), How To Cook The Perfect Risotto (S1E6), and How To Remember Your Dreams (S2E5). The homework for the episode is the article “How documentaries mark themselves out from fiction: a genre-based approach” by John Ellis (link). *We make no apologies to anyone offended by the fact that we, a film podcast, are covering a TV show. Nor do we apologize for choosing three discontinuous episodes. We do what we want. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flybyfilms/message

Welp. Due to technical difficulties with Blake's mic, the audio is a little wonky on this one. Jamison goes in and out of sounding like an automaton while you hear everything Blake does including clicking a mouse and breathing. My apologies for this. We were only willing to put so much effort into this low-effort podcast. Nonetheless, Jamison and Blake talk about sleep while having kids, American myths and their theme parks, and the good feeling parents get when their kids are overjoyed to see them. Then we turn our attention to the next two films in the McDonagh Bros. filmographies, War on Everyone (2016) and Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) and their requisite controversies and how non-American directors and writers write about America and what it has to teach us about the bullshit myths we outsource to other countries. Tune in (despite technical difficulties) for what was an enlivening conversation.

Jamison and Blake and special guest Ciara Barsotti (artist and better half of Jamison) talk about parenting, "Nice Cream," and her high effort, pristinely-produced podcast Chico Creates. Folks, we have hit the big time. Our first real major podcast personality joins us for a discussion of 2017's Mandy starring Nic Cage, Andrea Riseborough, and Linus Roach. We talk about how Panos Cosmatos (whether he is a real person or not) mirrors the paid film criticisms of Nicolas Winding Refn who is always said to be all style and no substance. Yet we talk about how Mandy differs from other revenge flicks and how its color palettes and heightened violence end up giving us a greater lesson about the cost of such actions. Ciara brings the neon pink heat on this episode. Come to listen to her and stay for the typical bullshit from Blake and Jamison.
