Projecting Film

Sophie Turner oddly bringing the energy of Chris Farley in the latest Netflix Original. A sentence one did not expect to type but we take our pleasures where we can. Even if they come across as mildly creepy. Which is why the failed Bob Saget comedy is here to provide family fun... family fun that involves prison assault. But that is nothing compared to what high school students do to one another on the battlefields of Gen Z cultural currency which scares and intrigues the two old men behind tin cans on the latest episode of PROJECTING FILM! Guest: Jared of SOBER CINEMA is not necessarily convinced that Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke have produced an actress to rival Glenn Close and CERTAINLY not Viola Davis.

An episode on mothers from two dudes, one of whom hates all children. A multiverse of opinions are included as guest Web Bist of TRILOGY IN THEORY joins the podcast to talk about two of the bigger hits (albeit on different levels) of 2022 in some Dr. Who movie that ties into some streaming series and a strange entry into the Halloween series with a really grumpy Jamie Lee Curtis. Alright, alright we do actually show some love to Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi's attempts as he revisits the Marvel universe in DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS but mainly our enthusiasm is reserved for more butt stuff from the Daniels in EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE.

Cinema lives on... in an app called ScreenPix. If your definition of cinema is the same was ours: anything starring Eric Roberts. In the 1990 version of THE AMBULANCE (thank you to any of you who stumbled on a clickthrough after watching Michael Bay's AMBULANCE presumably on Peacock) Mr. Roberts works for Stan Lee when not investigating the disappearance of strange women he chases down the street. But don't misconstrue the intentions of The Best Roberts... he just wants to draw these lovely ladies and save them from a murder mobile commanded by a soap opera star. Classic Eric Roberts. Guest: Jared "The Nasty Hellcat" Dotson of SOBER CINEMA joins us as it is the premier film podcast on the works of Eric Roberts.

Cinema lives on... in an app called Peacock. Which is just fine with your two hosts as we continue to detest people in Year Two of a global pandemic. Not as much as the dork from THE BREAKFAST CLUB hates Michael Myers though. Sure, this crazed killer has been involved in a number of shenanigans in his time... we just can't remember them all. And with all the technology at our disposal, we instead choose to deliberate our own memories of the best in this classic slasher series. HALLOWEEN: H20. We think it has Busta Rhymes in it. Or was that RESURRECTION? Listen to experts debate!

Cronenberg's better and far more original MARRIAGE STORY. When one host tells another "hey this movie makes me think of you" and it turns out to the be THE BROOD... well he couldn't have been more right.

In which two podcasters who aren't big fans of James Bond try desperately to figure out how to continue this nonsense. If you ever wanted to see a beloved franchise compared to the USA cable channel classic BURN NOTICE... then do we have the podcast for you. Along the way we try to remember the various endings of the HALLOWEEN franchise and declare Daniel Craig victorious over Harrison Ford. Enjoy!

You can't please everyone... but you have a better chance by making your movie really long. And just include everyone's favorite character. Maybe that's Jack Lemmon as an absentee father trying to make good. Or perhaps you prefer Madeline Stowe as a mother who doesn't like phone calls. Lyle Lovett who takes baking VERY. SERIOUS. You might even be a guy that likes Julianne Moore with no pants on- Alright, you get the point. This is an episode on glorious excess in film. And to celebrate we do the same. For podcasting.

We talk race relations, class warfare and NOPE we let this 1978 Paul Schrader film speak for itself. What your two lowly movie podcast hosts can discuss with some authority is how they start their day by managing their streaming queues across various platforms and how movie posters did Richard Pryor a great disservice as an actor. Also we imagine what it would be like to interrupt Harvey Keitel as he gives oral pleasure to a lady. All of this adds up to us being BOLD MEN!

We discuss a film where the detectives aren't as bad as the title states. Also BAD DETECTIVES has little to do with the characters of BAD TEACHER. Or BAD MOMS. And absolutely nothing to do with BAD SANTA (for better or worse). Instead this Presley Paras film questions the validity of the old guard when amateurs get a look at the books; something we'd like to believe applies to us... but then again in editing these episodes it's apparent we belong exactly where we are. Enjoy our discussion of this film and other examples of young crime solvers such as THE KID DETECTIVE and BRICK!

We discuss Jenny Slate and Jim #2 from THE OFFICE and it's adorable except for the pregnancy bit. OBVIOUS CHILD released into theaters in the summer of 2014 to much affection but not from the conservatives who loved little JUNO and her precocious decision to keep her pregnancy. Guest Derek of THE GRAND GESTURE joins the show to bro it out on how we adjust our expectations for a comedy based on such serious subject matter and to do so we rely on previous films by the likes of Woody Allen and- -well these show notes are not getting any easier.

But we also project these films: DEFENDING YOUR LIFE KNOCKED UP YOU CAN COUNT ON ME THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY OBVIOUS CHILD and THE SWIMMER That last one was mainly to talk about Burt Lancaster's chest. We couldn't resist and neither could you.

Much like the rest of you (THOUSANDS of listeners we can only assume) we can't wait to leave 2020 behind. So for our first episode of 2021 we look at the charms of parenthood. And no... not more of the strangely beloved NBC family drama but instead the child-rearing talents of one Sarah Paulson in RUN. This leads to hot tub fantasies with Kathy Bates from MISERY. Naturally. 2021 is going to be great!

Web Bist co-host of TRILOGY IN THEORY and well-known Emilia Clarke superfan joins PROJECTING FILM to discuss LAST CHRISTMAS. This late Christmas episode is fine because look at that title. Also the editor of this show is very lazy. But that matter not as we talk holiday films that are strangely obsessed with death and being late to ELF sixteen years after its release.

While it may be sad that this year no one should be gathering around the dinner table for the holidays, fear not! For the latest episode of PROJECTING FILM can provide all of the awkwardly boorish conversation you have come to hate for those annual family gatherings as your hosts compare an official Criterion classic in THE BIG CHILL to something that is truly great... which is the DAREDEVIL publicity tour episode of DINNER FOR FIVE.

Our Thanksgiving break was filled with more Katie Holmes (this is good!), an even more obnoxious than usual Robert Downey Jr. (bad!) and Michael Douglas having to babysit Tobey Maguire (the worst!)... but all roads lead to Frances McDormand in WONDER BOYS, so I guess you could say it was all worth it in the end to ignore our families over this holiday weekend.

It's Election Day in America... which means that your gracious host takes you away to his favorite fantasy of being in Kevin Kline's stupid seventies shoes as his makes stupid seventies decisions to attend a key party hosted by Allison Janney... and DOESN'T end up having a night of passion with The Jackal.

On this episode the two hosts from TRILOGY IN THEORY theorize on how over the course of 25 years THE TERMINATOR franchise can't quite seem to decide on a third part. The one year anniversary (and box-office death, sadly) of the latest entry TERMINATOR: DARK FATE is as good a time as any to take our mind off what could be the dark fate of this country a week from now.

As one of our hosts is a father who seemingly loves nothing more than to get in touch with his particular form of weepy manhood with a Sam Mendes movie, the other host (the real man) decided to allow a celebration of Father's Day by using DON'T COME BACK FROM THE MOON as our buffer to avoid real life experience or feelings. This Rashida Jones and James Franco starring film looks at parental abandonment with apocalyptic tones that remind one of our hosts (the real man) of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE... and the other one brings up Sam Mendes YET AGAIN.

As we enter the summer season proper there's no better time for your two favorite movie podcasters to promote body shaming by watching Cobie Smulders and Guy Pearce being fit, attractive but more importantly incredibly unfulfilled in RESULTS.

Also syndication. Sweet, sweet repeat episodes so your two favorite movie podcasters don't have to speak to each other and can spend time with their family.

Sandwiched between the hilarious gentrification in THE LANDLORD and the sad bastard sex romp that was SHAMPOO we got a creepy kid with a substantially much older woman in HAROLD AND MAUDE. As this is the dynamic between one of your hosts who is full of vigor and vitality and the other one is named Chris, we decided to bring on a mediator to balance out the age gap in discussing this classic film. Anderson Cowan of THE FILM VAULT talks excessive enthusiasm for a trip to the movies and a distaste for not giving appropriate attention to darkly comic performance art from one's child.

For twenty-five years both hosts of this widely respected program had managed to avoid Lawrence Kasdan's masterpiece FRENCH KISS. Today this mistake has been corrected with no consideration given by the rights holders as this is strangely a lost film with no current digital distribution. A film that managed to succeed at the box-office and give Meg Ryan a victory over her former costar (the hideous Billy Crystal) for best romcom set in France in May 1995. And that's something that even Stanley Kubrick couldn't achieve. Think about THAT. Also we revisit our ethical debate from THE CABLE GUY, defend Weezer's choices and blame Goo Goo Dolls for everything. Twenty-five years of FRENCH KISS!

The love affair between two grown unavailable men continues for two weeks in a row with a date night at the Clam Casino in... MANIAC. And if you thought Elijah "Radio Flyer" Wood was too sexy for you, never fear for we are talking about the 1980 original of this loving look at a lonely man with an impressive mannequin collection and an even more impressive beer gut.

High school affairs are a necessary evil to keep the kids social. One host continues to shock the other with just how vanilla he is.

Yeah that proved to be of no podcast promotional help, damn you Helen Mirren) we welcome author Chris Vander-Kaay to discuss GOOD TIME and GOOD NEIGHBOR SAM.

What can't be ignored is your beloved hosts expansive knowledge on the format of talk shows... as long as said talk shows are featured in movies that they've seen.

On this episode we guess that the new film LONG SHOT starring Seth Rogen as the forever unfuckable is just the latest in this real life ogre's filmography of strangely being chosen by beautiful women. So do we go with Kevin Smith's 2008 film where America was disgusted by Elizabeth Banks choosing to have sex with this man in ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO. Or perhaps we side with our neighbors to the north where Michelle Williams decides that she's had enough of a cleaned up Mr. Rogen in Sarah Polley's TAKE THIS WALTZ.

The title could also apply to this very podcast which is probably equally as terrifying for PROJECTING FILM listeners.

For our comeback episode we give our dozens of fans exactly what they want... an episode on how insane fans are. But in a good way! UNITED WE FAN looks at a now decades long tradition of dedicated fans saving their favorite low rated shows which creates both a positive and negative influence on the material being saved. One host is reminded of the turn made in a previous documentary as everything we thought we know may not be entirely accurate in CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS. Meanwhile your other host chooses to think happy thoughts in the new year and how pop culture pushes us all to find our own love story in LOVE, SIMON. Also we discuss the most depressing Super Bowl party in history.

Thanks to the Nashville Film Festival we were able to check out THE SCENT OF RAIN AND LIGHTNING which stars Maika Monroe, a young actress who first got our attention in IT FOLLOWS. Maybe with that on the brain we ended up with an episode theme based around another previous rising star in Jennifer Lawrence and in particular her roles in feuding family films THE BURNING PLAIN and WINTER'S BONE.

On this episode we throw a Hitchcock themed podcast party for Sally Potter's new film THE PARTY. This Kristen Scott Thomas and Patricia Clarkson starring movie is fast, aggressive, and darkly funny; which means that this cast of characters would fit in nicely at a dinner party to celebrate getting away with murder in the 1948 classic ROPE. Or maybe the focus would be on the missing guest such as in the other Alfred Hitchcock joint REBECCA?

For Valentine's Day we offer up a triple feature of being snared by love for new release ENTANGLEMENT. This Thomas Middleditch and Jess Weixler starring romcom reminds us of the manic pixie dream girl trope and how it can be subverted with a seriously manic male lead, be it Bradley Cooper in SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK or David Thewlis in ANOMALISA. One of your hosts also convinces the other one to not do a Valentine's Day first time watch with the wife of Weixler's breakout film TEETH.

On our latest episode we discuss new release BOMB CITY and how we approach real life tragedy as entertainment. Does the apprehension we feel over the fate of the real life characters on screen add to our appreciation of the moments that the filmmakers chose to present? And just why was one of your hosts so damn nervous about possible life-changing events when watching SLC PUNK! for the first time? Find out this and maybe a little more as we once again praise Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan (what else is new?) in this episode and at the social media outlets below: Facebook/Twitter/Instagram: @projectingfilm Hosts: Chris @Following_Films Mike @warmachinehorse Email us suggestions on indie films you are looking forward to at projectingfilm@gmail.com Theme music provided by the band Good Talk Russ.

On the road again with Chris and Mike of PROJECTING FILM. A pair of podcast lovers who fancy themselves as Celine and Jesse from Richard Linklater's BEFORE SUNRISE but in actuality are more like Zoe Bell and Kurt Russell from Quentin Tarantino's DEATH PROOF. We'll leave that up to the listeners which one is the cowardly stuntman... BUT FOR NOW we have yet another indie film gem from 2018 with Ethan Warren's WEST OF HER. A strikingly beautifyl film full of stolen shots and stolen moments also manages to keep its feet on the ground and provide the spark of a romance between two people who travel the country together but are heading in very different directions. Also they aren't Chris and Mike. So well worth spending your time with them instead. On that note, follow us at the links below!

On our latest episode we travel with three films to cabins in the woods and find the usual horror movie tropes: awkward encounters with friends, emotional outbursts that push people away, and revelations that forever change the bonds with those we love. Which is to say that new indie film KATE CAN'T SWIM gets it all right and if you like what you saw in YOUR SISTER'S SISTER and THE ONE I LOVE, make a point to check out the feature debut of writer/director Josh Helman. If you do, maybe we will get the sequels of various KATE CAN'Ts that our hosts so desperately want.

On this episode we hit the road with Dakota Fanning in her new film PLEASE STAND BY about a Trekkie pursuing her dream of getting her script produced while her family catches up with her (in more ways than one). This inspires a look back at not only our previous episode on THE ROAD MOVIE (hey you should download that) but also that blend of fantasy in NURSE BETTY and the harsh realities of travel in PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES. Along the way we both embrace and reject Patton Oswalt's proud use of the Klingon language. Feel free to embrace and reject us at the links below!

On this episode we try to make something of the dash cam footage provided in new release THE ROAD MOVIE, and of course we come up with a mash-up of experimental documentary LEVIATHAN about commercial fisherman andddddd the BOOK OF SHADOWS, the much loved sequel to THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. Along the way we discuss the need for guidance from documentarians and our favorite films of 2017. ALSO we debate which Franco brother your hosts are more like, and unfortunately for the winner of the James Franco contest, this was of course recorded before yet another round of allegations against an actor mentioned on this podcast.

On this episode we look at the relationships between fathers and sons and the jokes that develop along the way as we revisited Kevin Smith's MALLRATS and Mike Mills' BEGINNERS for the new release HUMOR ME. This indie film starring Jemaine Clement and Elliott Gould opens with crass humor that repeatedly antagonizes its audience (okay mainly just the son character played by Clement) which aligns perfectly with our goals for this podcast. So put in your earbuds and get weepy with us as we debate the merits of a stink palm as a bonding experience between two men.

MR. ROOSEVELT is what happens when one host assumes that this is a political thriller starring Gary Oldman, and instead is pleasantly surprised to find something far closer to Noah Baumbach's GREENBERG and Diablo Cody's YOUNG ADULT. In these three films about going home to reconnect with former friends and lovers, we did you the service of waiting to release this episode after the holidays... and also when you can take a look at Noel Wells' new comedy which has just hit Netflix streaming. Enjoy and hug your pets while listening! Facebook/Twitter/Instagram: @projectingfilm Hosts: Chris @Following_Films Mike @warmachinehorse

Look ahead to the great beyond of 2018 with the Netflix documentary JIM & ANDY: THE GREAT BEYOND... and also this latest episode of PROJECTING FILM. If you do, you will hear us talk about not only the darkness of Jim Carrey going full method for his portrayal of Andy Kaufman in MAN ON THE MOON, but also your hosts Chris and Mike competing on who can bring the darkest film to the table. In THE PLEDGE, Jack Nicholson commits his life to finding a child killer, while in GRIZZLY MAN Timothy Treadwell goes to his death living with and "protecting" bears in the wild. Clearly our commitment to comedy is unquestioned with these choices, and we hope you don't question your commitment to subscribing to this podcast.

For our latest episode we have our own little premiere party for the Netflix original MUDBOUND. This includes watching this Oscar hopeful from the comfort of our homes with at least one of your hosts in a bathrobe. After this sign of disrespect to modern cinema-going we praise the film by comparing it to the likes of DAYS OF HEAVEN and THE DEER HUNTER, for its narrative of returning veterans and also in the how DEE REES uses narration. However this does make us face the stark reality that what this up and coming filmmaker could really use on screen is Richard Gere and his fantastic hair.

On this episode we look at the strange connections made by characters in crime films both big and small. From a lowly barber attempting to blackmail his wife's lover in the Coen brothers THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE to a father protecting his son from the life he's chosen in Sam Mendes' ROAD TO PERDITION. Those two films lead us to new release SWEET VIRGINIA starring Jon Bernthal and Christopher Abbott as two men from the same part of the world brought together by chance and of course... crime. Speaking of which, it would be criminal for you not to listen to this episode or follow us at the places listed below.

Our latest episode spreads the holiday cheer in a way that you never knew you wanted: Michael Shannon in a drunken rage, terrorizing a small town as Bigfoot. This hard to categorize monster movie by way of Hallmark leads us to a discussion on JAWS as not just a scary shark movie but a terrifying look at a small town's insecurity. And the only way to top that is to look at those desparate enough to try and make it in the film business, such as the characters in the Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy comedy classic BOWFINGER. Like most Christmas episodes this leads to a bit of self-reflection from your hosts Mike and Chris... which means that this particular episode is easy to categorize as a tragedy.

On this episode we talk with Brie Williams and John C. Clark and their new genre subverting film A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE. This leads to a discussion on how genre guides an audience through the story and manages our expectations for characters based on the film world they reside in. That world is a bit different when your hosts make their own mash-up of this new scary but very funny indie film as we debate the horrific merits of Jim Carrey's overbearing THE CABLE GUY against American sweetheart Sandra Bullock's romantic white lies in WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING. ALSO: It should come as no surprise to our subscribers that one of of our hosts (Mr. Vanilla) really agrees with Matthew Broderick on a prostitute not being a cool gift to receive from a friend.
