Does this movie get better with each viewing? Couldn't the script have added a little more of Cliff De Young's character (for Eric)? How great is Snake Guy and his exit from the film? And did anyone care about that legacy sequel? PLUS: Should Charles Xavier take these girls under his wing? The Craft stars Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Rachel True, Christine Taylor, Breckin Meyer, Nathaniel Marston, Cliff De Young, Assumpta Serna, and Skeet Ulrich as Chris Hooker; directed by Andrew Fleming.

We get into: Roman Coppola's practical effects, Keanu's accent work, crossing oceans of time to find you, Michael Ballhaus (and whether this is the dark b-side of The Age of Innocence), Eiko Ishioka with the muscle armor and tiny glasses, do young people want to be turned on by the movies (or at all), and more.--Further reading/viewing: The Costumes are the Sets (a 15-minute doc on the film's Oscar-winning costumes), and James Hart on the transformation of Dracula's script.--The Bright Wall/Dark Room Podcast is hosted by Veronica Fitzpatrick & Chad Perman, produced by Eli Sands, and edited by Buczar.

“Bruce Greenwood, who's surprisingly not crooked in this movie? That blew my hair back!” - Steve On this week's episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza rolls into Will Smith City with a conversation all about the absolutely dreadful I, Robot! And to help dive into this dull-ass flick, the gang welcomes back to the show, friend and film critic, Angelica Jade Bastién! Why did they want to make this movie so damn serious and not let any comedy on the screen? Is Will Smith's character listening to “Superstition” on loop every morning? Why couldn't they pump a few more bucks into these digital effects? Was Bridget Moynihan's direction just to play the character as if she was a secret robot? And why in the world weren't Shia LaBeouf's scenes cut for time? PLUS: Was the most expensive visual effect in this movie really digitally removing Will's johnson from the shower scene? I, Robot stars Will Smith, Bridget Moynihan, Bruce Greenwood, James Cromwell, Chi McBride, Adrian Ricard, Fiona Hogan, and Alan Tudyk as Sonny; directed by Alex Proyas.

Halle Bailey stars as Ariel in the live-action remake of the classic Disney animated film. Casting a Black actress in the role caused quite a splash — which inspired us to look back at two of Disney's forays into Black princess movies. Dr. Aria Halliday studies cultural constructions of Black girlhood and womanhood at The University of Kentucky. She and Sam break down the 1997 made for TV ‘Cinderella,' starring Brandy, and 2009's ‘Princess and the Frog.' Then, Vulture's baddest film critic Angelica Jade Bastién tells us whether 2023's ‘Little Mermaid' has legs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
In the six decades since Marilyn Monroe passed away, Hollywood has not let her go. Actresses have portrayed her in countless films and there have been more than 15 biopics dedicated to the late icon. Ahead of the Academy Awards, Ana de Armas has been getting Oscar buzz for playing Marilyn 'Blonde.' However, one critic finds this role, this film, and these stereotypes deeply problematic. Host Brittany Luse is joined by culture critic Angelica Jade Bastién to talk about Marilyn's misinterpreted legacy and why the Hollywood impersonations never shine as bright as the real star.

This week, the panel begins by talking about Elon Musk taking over Twitter. Then, a discussion about the new film Aftersun. Finally, Angelica Jade Bastién joins to talk about her recent article about Brangelina. In Slate Plus, the panel takes on a listener question and talks about swap casting. Email us at culturefest@slate.com. Endorsements Dana: I know I'm constantly endorsing things on the Criterion Channel! They are streaming the noir films of 20th Century Fox all month long. I don't know why noir has become associated with November. Maybe it goes with the shortening days and the gloomy shadows of November. Julia: A slightly odd endorsement today. People really seem to think they can disrupt underwear. I don't really know why. But, I have been a skeptic until now. Finally the platonic underwear has been designed. Knickey high-rise briefs. It's just too good. Steve: The thing that's given me the most joy is the Richard Wilbur poem Castles and Distances from 1950. I was in the mood for Wilbur and I found one I had never read before. It's so cool. So sadly apposite to modern experience, especially with Elon Musk in the news and tech barons. Podcast production by Cameron Drews. Production assistance by Yesica Balderrama.

Snobs On Film is a monthly movie podcast, exploring one theme per season. This season: love in its strangest forms, across classic and contemporary film. 1. On this episode of Snobs On Film Power, Prophecy and Paranoia - ‘The Tragedy Of Macbeth' In Joel Coen's The Tragedy of Macbeth, a tale of paranoia begins with a prophecy, and the road from one to the other is littered with treachery, ambition, and the tragic results of a strange love. Denzel Washington is Macbeth — Shakespeare's ‘man who would be king' — and Frances McDormand is Lady Macbeth; the wife who sparks her husband's lust for power, fanning it into a murderous flame. After Macbeth is told by three witches that he is fated to sit on the throne, Lady Macbeth helps fulfill his destiny by committing an act of betrayal so grim it threatens to drive them both insane. Amidst the ruins of Macbeth's nobility and honor are the urgent words of his wife, steadily encouraging his doomed ascent; using her affection to sweeten her demands as the couple watches their love devolve into conspiracy. When the film ends, Macbeth's tragedy is steeped in lingering questions and blood-soaked regret. But what's done, is done. 2. Background listening from Snobs On Film Last season on Snobs On Film, we explored the theme of redemption in the 1946 film ‘Notorious', starring Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. The Hitchcock classic famously features a mother-son relationship geared towards power, but poisoned by paranoia — not unlike Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Enjoy that episode, and our take on the film's enduring legacy and influence, right here: https://wildflowerpodcasts.com/snobs-on-film/redemption-notorious/ 4.

Marilyn Monroe was an unrecognized feminist pioneer before her time. Nearly 70 years before #MeToo, she penned an expose about her experiences with “the casting couch” called “Wolves I Have Known.” In the final episode of our Marilyn Monroe series, we delve into the parts of Marilyn's life that no one talks about. Vulture film critic Angelica Jade Bastién joins Brooke and Aricia to talk about what Marilyn teaches us about how society treats women who battle mental health challenges, and discuss some of her greatest on-screen moments.Read Angelica's Marilyn Monroe movie rankings here.Listen ad free with Wondery+.

This week on WHM, the gang is hanging at HeadGum's Brooklyn studio with Vulture writer and good friend of the show, Angelica Jade Bastién, talking about the totally great Wild Things!

And how great is Bill Murray in this movie?

We are delighted to be joined by Angelica Jade Bastién (Vulture and much more) to discuss the all around sub-par episode Gang War! T.J. Christer appears to help two rival gangs in the Barrio neighborhood.

The Trylon’s playing movies we already recorded on earlier in the pandemic, so we’ve changed the rules for a short Non-’Lon Series on movies we HAVEN’T seen and may never see at the Trylon! They say it’s not tragic to die doing what you love, which is why the Non-’Lon BoysPick series is dying with POINT BREAK (1991), the most Dudes Rock movie ever. It’s a thoughtful exploration of a cop’s ability to find a soul, what he has to give up to find it, and the people who help him do it. In our discussion, we focus on how the movie compares and contrasts the core motivations of the unbelievably hot leading men Johnny and Bodhi, the political statements the movie makes in the broader context of its release, and whether or not it matters that the stakes in a 1991 surfing movie don’t feel very high in 2021. Also, the name “Bodhi” is pronounced two different ways in this episode with startling consistency. Apologies to all affected listeners.

Though Emerald Fennell has cited Mary Harron’s AMERICAN PSYCHO as one of the inspiration points for her buzzy debut feature PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN, there’s not a whole lot obviously linking the films in terms of protagonist, narrative, or even their respective satirical targets. But as we discuss in this week’s comparison, both woman-directed films are deeply concerned with ideas of male privilege and toxic masculinity, make ample use of high-pop needledrops, and engage with violence in a heightened and stylized manner that underlines their thematic concerns. We get into all that, plus Your Next Picture Show, where we share recent filmgoing experiences in hopes of putting something new on your radar. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about AMERICAN PSYCHO, PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

I'm joined by critic & essayist Angelica Jade Bastién to talk about Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 surfer crime thriller Point Break. We talk about Angelica Jade's love of Keanu Reeves, his long track record of working with women directors, our feelings about Kathryn Bigelow's Detroit, Point Break and how Black Lives Matter is making us reconsider some of our favourite films.

On this "Smackdown" edition of the podcast -that it's episode '47 featuring the year 1947 is accidental! -- Nathaniel welcomes actors Dana Delany (The Code, China Beach) and Patrick Vaill (Oklahoma), as well as lyricist Thomas Mizer (The Marvelous Mrs Maisel) and culture critic Angelica Jade Bastién. We discuss the film year of 1947 but especially anti-semitic dramas Crossfire and Gentleman's Agreement (which competed for Best Picture), the Hitchcock courtroom thriller The Paradine Case, and the farm comedy The Egg and I.
Dan Rogge bought a ticket for our latest episode on HBO's Run, a "comedy thriller" about college sweethearts trying to reunite. Does the pleasure of watching Merritt Wever and Archie Punjabi at work outweigh the credibility issues? Do phones in the Run-verse never need charging? And is Rich Sommer TV's worst husband? We super-sized Around The Dial with stops at The Baker And The Beauty, Bosch, The Good Fight, Sesame Street, Money Heist, The Valhalla Murders, Devs, and Picard. And we chased that with a Sean double: first, whether he's a crackpot for thinking streaming services should offer a single-storyline watching option; and then his Canon pitch for the virulently catchy America's Next Top Model episode, "Game." Amy Schumer won, Lori Loughlin lost, and the melody lingered on in a musical Game Time. Grab your show-branded airhorn; it's an all-new Extra Hot Great! GUESTS

Like the landmark 1991 film THELMA & LOUISE, the latest DC comics movie entry, BIRDS OF PREY (AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN) uses a recognizable form to take its female protagonists to some unfamiliar places. The newer film hasn’t received that same sort of critical acclaim as its predecessor, but some on our panel — which this week once again includes Angelica Jade Bastién of Vulture.com — argue why perhaps it should have, on the way to discussing what the two films share in their attitudes about female emancipation in a man’s world, and in their refreshing depictions of women misbehaving without remorse. Plus, Your Next Picture Show, where we share recent filmgoing experiences in hopes of putting something new on your cinematic radar.

The new BIRDS OF PREY: AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN is part of an inconsistent and fitfully realized tradition of female-empowerment stories told within a high-gloss genre framework, a tradition that reached one of its too-rare high points with THELMA & LOUISE, a Ridley Scott-directed, Callie Khourie-scripted take on a buddy road movie/chase film that ruffled plenty of feathers when it became a sleeper hit in 1991. This week we’re joined by Vulture.com critic and friend of the podcast Angelica Jade Bastién to consider how the conversations THELMA & LOUISE inspired in 1991 would — or wouldn’t — be different today, how the film’s structure and performances subtly underline its feminist themes, and whether complaints about the film’s “cartoonish” male characters hold any water. Plus, we answer some feedback on our recent pairing of THE PIANO and PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE.

Essayist, writer, film critic and all-around badass movie and pop culture buff and staff writer at Vulture, Angelica Jade Bastién is here to talk the creepy, unsettling and fascinating under-discussed classic film MY NAME IS JULIA ROSS. This episode is a fun one, spanning a wide range of topics beyond the film itself and why Angelica hasn't been able to let go since seeing it. We begin with an assessment of Brad Pitt, Leo DiCaprio and male beauty politics. Find out whether we think Leo looks like he's having fun as an actor/whether he looks like he's good in bed (spoiler alert: no. and no.) We also talk misogyny via the mother role in film and (naturally) we arrive at the conclusion that heterosexuality is a prison (joking...kind of.)

We all endured the epic Oscars ceremony last weekend to discuss our favorite moments, our reactions to the winners, and whether or not things in Hollywood are actually getting better.

What’s with making the main character a white woman?

It’s Olympics season once again, which means there’s also a bit of a respite in what is typically a busy TV midseason. This week, Noel and Kate talk through a truncated week in TV, looking at the finale of Star Trek: Discovery, the midseason premiere of Legends of Tomorrow, a powers-centric Black Lighting, the latest RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Snatch Game, a dizzying Top Chef: Colorado, and the penultimate Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Then we head over to Netflix and spotlight the first season of the Queer Eye reboot. How do we feel about the new Fab Five? Did Star Trek: Discovery live up to its potential? How much Trent is too much Trent on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend? (Spoiler alert: there is never too much Trent.) Listen to our thoughts, then reach out with your own takes on these pressing TV questions.

Well, friends, it's time to dust ourselves off after a very long, strange, and painful week and get back to the important business of talking about Marvel movies. Yes, that's right: this episode of Mousterpiece Cinema is all about the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Strange, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tilda Swinton, Mads Mikkelsen, and more. It's the story of a cocksure white guy with quirky facial hair who gains special abilities after he's disabled in an intense accident. But no, it's not the story of Tony Stark this time, even though it might feel that way. Josh and Gabe are joined by freelance writer Angelica Jade Bastién to talk about this film's character arcs, whitewashing, the notable cast members being misused, and more.
