Time Sensitive

Time Sensitive has a special episode for you this week to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the theatrical release of Jaws. That's right, this episode drops on June 20, 2025, fifty years TO THE DATE of the movie that revolutionized cinema, introduced the summer blockbuster, and to this day, still makes audiences afraid to go in the water.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

To paraphrase Shakespeare, “It is a tale told by three idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” “So shall you hear of carnal, bloody, and unnatural acts, of accidental judgments, casual slaughters, of deaths put on by cunning and forced cause. And, in this upshot, purposes mistook, fallen on the inventors' heads.” It's Grand Theft Hamlet, the COVID-initated, machinima documentary written and directed by Sam Crane and Pilly Grylls.

This week, we're peeling off prosthetics, unpacking identity crises, and trying really hard not to cast our friends in plays about their own trauma. Is it satire? Is it horror? Is it a giant metaphor about who gets to tell whose story? Yes. That's right—we're pulling up a chair at one of the most uncomfortable dinner scenes we've seen since Hereditary as we dive into A Different Man, the 2024 surreal psychological dramedy written and directed by Aaron Schimberg.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

Bon jour, and welcome to the show. Ian is currently wearing a voluminous outfit that both hinders the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicates seating in the theater, and Sam is currently nude, as we protest the new Cannes dress code, rub shoulders with honorary Palme D'Or winners Robert De Niro and Denzel Washington, and dodge falling palm trees as we celebrate the 78th Cannes Film Festival.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

This week, we're going Dutch… Well, sort of. The original spec script describes it as a “Hitchock-ian style thriller with black humor.” However, much like the titular town, in the words of its lead character Nancy Vangergroot, this movie is “like carbon dioxide. It's so sleepy and comfortable, and you won't even know you're suffocating.” It's Mimi Cave's Holland.

You are joining us for another perennial favorite here on Time Sensitive. At the end of nearly every episode, we ask our guest hosts a simple question: What are you into? Even though this sounds like a sexual invitation (it mostly isn't), we ask our guests to focus on a movie, book, album, game, podcast, or pop culture subject they are currently enjoying. But no one ever asks Sam and Ian what they are into, so we have decided to devote a whole episode to our own pop culture proclivities.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

It's a subject we've covered many times on the pod with reviews of You Were Never Really Here, The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot, Bacurau, Promising Young Woman, Pig, Vengeance, and of course, Do Revenge. How could we forget Thelma? We have even covered a revenge flick set in India with the triumphant RRR. Needless to say, it's a subject we know and love, but few revenge movies come as sexy and stylish as Dev Patel's Monkey Man.

This might be the most bizarre film ever reviewed on Time Sensitive, and yet it is one of the most critically-acclaimed. Return to the nineteenth century for a slapstick, furry-infused, Elmer Fudd/Bugs Bunny-style, brutally genocidal survival film. Sam, what's worse than an eager beaver? Hundreds of Beavers, directed by Mike Chesslik.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

You are joining us for our annual celebration of cinema history, specifically those movies celebrating a milestone release anniversary in 2025.It's a birthday of sorts. We call it a “Filmversary,” and this episode is an ode to those films that have stood the test of time 5, 10, 20, 50, and even 90 years after their original release due to box office success, cultural significance, and/or Oscar glory.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media   

There are over seven million people on the entire island of Ireland. 80,000 of those are Irish speakers. Only 6,000 of those Irish speakers live in Northern Ireland. Three of those are rappers. This is their story. It's a rage against the machine… of oppression. It's Rich Peppiatt's Kneecap.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

In this episode, Sam and Ian will look ahead to the exciting films projects slated for release in 2025. We've got new films from Bong Joon Ho, Steven Soderbergh, Danny Boyle, Paul Thomas Anderson, Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie, Noah Baumbach, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Yorgos Lanthimos, James Cameron, and Guillermo del Toro on the horizon.

As we've stated before on Time Sensitive, 2024 was, in many ways, the year of the lesbian, so we figured we would celebrate that with one of the year's most critically acclaimed queer films: Rose Glass's fun, sweaty, pulpy, and violent neo-noir, Love Lies Bleeding.

Before there was Love Is Blind, there was The Dating Game, and a 1978 episode of the show became retroactively notorious when it helped many women realize their deepest fears. What happens when a cross-country serial killer appears as an eligible bachelor on national TV, and no one knows? You just may end up on a date with death. It's Anna Kendrick's Woman of the Hour.

In this episode, Sam and Ian outline their  favorite movies from 2024, in a daddy of all recap episodes.

Looking for a documentary about Trump's second term in office? Look no further than Alex Garland's Civil War. I'm only kidding… slightly.

The votes are in, history has been cemented, and a whole slew of new Academy Award winners are cuddling up with their Oscars—or something more physical in Kieran Culkin's case—as we speak.

This week we bring you a review of a GenZ coming-of-age dramedy that, despite the title, hits way harder than you might expect. It shows the true beauty of being young and dumb. It's Megan Park's My Old Ass. Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media

This is our final film review of the season, and we are literally going out guns blazing! We close Season 6 with a profile of Francis Galluppi's The Last Stop in Yuma County. Though this film is a blend of neo-noir styles and the western genre, it is not to be confused with the western 3:10 to Yuma or the poorly reviewed Tate Taylor film Breaking News in Yuba County. No, it's The Last Stop in Yuma County, and it's our last stop of the season.

Do Androids dream of electric sheep? This was the titular question asked by Philip K. Dick's 1968 dystopian novel that served as the basis for the Blade Runner films. This week, we learn they actually dream of river dancing daisies in the Emerald City as we explore Robot Dreams, the actor-less and dialogue-free Oscar-nominated animated feature film from Spanish producer/writer/director Pablo Berger.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media 

What do Bruce Lee, Shrek, Mean Girls, Sergio Leone, Get Out, Bollywood, Kill Bill, Charlie Chaplin, and All About Eve have in common? NOTHING! But that didn't stop first-time writer/director Nida Manzoor from throwing them all into a single movie. It's Polite Society.

This week, we make up for lost time with another unhinged performance by Cage, one of our favorite Time Sensitive subjects. We close our sixth annual Freaky Film Festival with one of the buzziest horror films of 2024, with arguably the best marketing campaign of any film all year. Some are even calling it the best serial killer movie since Silence of the Lambs. I'm happy as peaches to review Longlegs, NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE, but AS MANY TIMES AS I LIKE, directed by Oz Perkins, especially because it has a connection to one of our favorite Time Sensitive episodes.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media 

This week, we continue our festival with a horror standout from 2024 that answers the question: What if Jimmy Kimmel and “Long Island Medium” Teresa Caputo hosted a variety show? It's Late Night with the Devil, directed by Aussie brothers Colin and Cameron Cairnes.

David Cronenberg is the director of this week's subject, 1986's The Fly, one of his early signature body horror films, and often referred to as one of the genre's best. Will this change Ian and Sam's mind on the body horror genre? Listen to find out.  Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media 

It's that time of year again! Throughout the entire month of October, Time Sensitive will be devoted to blood, guts, and the BEST classic and under-the-radar horror films.This week, we kick off our sixth annual Freaky Film Festival with an instant classic, whose real cult classic status could not be appreciated until now, 18 months after its original release. She's more than a toy. She's family. She's a box office juggernaut. She's camp. She's a queer icon. She's M3GAN.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media 

Financial scams against the elderly are an unfortunate, and increasingly common phenomenon. But what happens when a fraudster messes with the wrong grandma?

This week we profile a story that features sex, true crime, race, consent, delusion, agency, power imbalances, white-saviorism, and disability. All cultural fault lines with the potential for a damaging quake of reaction. It's our first non-fiction film of Season 6. It's Netflix's much-hyped documentary Tell Them You Love Me.

This week on the pod, SAM READS A BOOK! That's right! As an extension to our standard review formula, we've elected to read the original novel in which this week's subject is based, and reflect on how the film adaptation adheres to the text. That film is The End We Start From, adapted from Megan Hunter's 2017 minimalist, dystopian survival novel of the same name.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media 

This week, we chose to step outside our traditional realm of under-the-radar films to talk a bit about one of Hollywood's buzziest new A-listers. With a short, but lucrative box office resume, a Rolodex that boasts Tom Cruise, J. J. Abrams, Sylvester Stallone, Steven Spielberg, Peyton Manning, and Richard Linklater, and classic leading man good looks, we have to ask… is this the year of Glen Powell?Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media

This week, we profile Harlem with an ode to black motherhood. We're offered a complex look at the damaged foster care system, the power of a chosen family, and a damning portrait of gentrification in New York City.

Lives are expendable. Design is forever. Winning is everything.This week, the rubber hits the road as we travel back to post-WWII Italy for a high octane, pulse pounding F1 racing flick and end up deep in some 70-year-old Italian soap opera. And all I have to say is…Perhaps you have a need for speed? It's Michael Mann's Ferrari.  Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media 

What happens when you throw a bunch of talented people into a road movie, throw in some lesbian sexploitation and tagline it with some silly double entendre like “A story of two ladies going South,” and have that movie carried solely by the name ID of one half of a dynamic filmmaking duo? You get the “gleefully anarchic caper with one foot in the world of Looney Tunes,” also known as Drive-Away Dolls, co-written and directed by Ethan Coen. A day late and a dick short.

You've gotten to know Sam and Ian over the last six seasons of Time Sensitive, and by now, it should be clear what we do and don't like. Well, now we are forcing each other to embrace those things that we don't like, as we continue a series called “Forced to Watch.” This week we play in to Sam's biggest fears, and every stereotype imaginable. It's Ryan Murphy's 2020 adaptation of The Prom.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media

This week, we change things up a bit by profiling one of the most talked-about and viral movies from the last year. A stylized, seductive, and sinister “eat the rich” narrative.

This week, we dive into what star Anne Hathaway calls, “Carol meets Reservoir Dogs.” A stylish, deliciously dark, psychological thriller with a final act twist that will leave you shouting, “Come.
