In this very special episode, Dhruv and Srilekha celebrate the thoroughly depressing and despairing films of Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke, who turned 82 a week ago on March 23rd. We first discuss his exacting style that has inspired several high-profile European filmmakers (Ruben Östlund and Yorgos Lanthimos, the most famously known amongst them) to address themes of colonial guilt, fascism, racism, and class inequality in a similarly discomforting way. We then choose three films from his filmography that most overtly (but still mysteriously) engage with these themes — “Code Unknown,” “Caché,” and "The White Ribbon." Listen to the full episode for our spoiler-filled thoughts on these three movies and brief discussions of “Funny Games” and “The Piano Teacher," which we use to introduce listeners to the director's chillingly unnerving worlds.

In this episode, Dhruv, Amartya, Shashwat, and a special new guest -- Srilekha Mitra (writer for High on Films, Youth Ki Awaaz, The Red Sparrow, and other publications) -- talk all about the delightfully artifice-laden worlds of Wes Anderson. First, we discuss Anderson's auteurism, discussing its value (or lack thereof) in today's filmmaking world for audiences and critics alike. Then, we go beyond praising the infinite layers of surface beauty that cover his 2023 output to talk about their softly beating hearts. This includes a spoiler-filled discussion of both his divisive COVID-themed feature, Asteroid City, and adaptations of 4 Roald Dahl shorts currently playing on Netflix -- "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar," "The Swan," "The Rat Catcher," & "Poison." Featuring an extended cameo appearance by *drum roll* Lord Sanjeet.

In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 2009 horror-comedy film Jennifer's Body. Episode Highlights: Starting with a look at how this film is now a cult classic (and the ways that it has been claimed by the LGBTQIA+ community), we explore how criticism on this film and its filmmakers focuses nearly exclusively on whether it is good/bad, feminist/not feminist. But we argue that there is so much more interesting about this film than just these limited debates, so we turn to our own analysis of the film through the lens of camp and the ways that this film manages to offer us complicated and messy constructions of (female) identity. A Dose of Scholarship: In this episode, we reference Ben Kooyman's 2012 article "Whose Body? Auteurism, Feminism and Horror in Hostel Part II and Jennifer's Body" (in the Australasian Journal of Popular Culture) and Aidatul Chusna and Shofi Mahmudah's 2018 article "Female Monsters: Figuring Female Transgression in Jennifer's Body (2009) and The Witch (2013)" (in Humaniora). We also talked (once again) about camp, which you can learn more about in Susan Sontag's 1964 "Notes on 'Camp'. " This podcast episode first aired on September 27, 2021.

It is easy to get caught up in the names that have already become known throughout the cinephile world and their accomplishments and great works. But who will carry the torch through the future? One curious fellow worth noting to the is Toronto-based writer and filmmaker Neil Bahaduer. With his iconoclastic ramblings, larky wit, and soft-spoken but all so engrossing enthusiasm, Neil's writing on cinema seems to be pointing toward something different that splices together the past and the future in hope of creating a cinema entirely alien to what we often limit. Peter talks to Neil about his writings on silent films in conversation with more recent art house filmmakers, the role of the marketplace in cinema that hopes to speak politically, and his ambitous first film, From Nine to Nine. They then dive into D.W. Griffith's first feature length film, Judith of Bethulia, and examine how this curious expansion into length allowed the pioneer to bring together questions of aesthetics and politics. Plus, former guest and eating expert Carman Tse joins Peter to discuss the legacy of one of their favorite all time critics, food writer Jonathan Gold. 0:00-4:01 Opening6:02-28:59 Establishing Shots — Remembering Jonathan Gold with Carman Tse29:45-1:26:57 Deep Focus — Neil Bahaduer 1:27:58-1:31:34 Sponsorship Section1:32:34-1:48:10 Double Exposure — Judith of Bethulia (D.W.

While Peter sometimes has questioned what digital cameras have wrought, there is no question that the digital revolution has changed the ways we can relate to our cinematic experiences (Exhibit A: this podcast). UK film scholar Catherine Grant has always seemed to be on the precipice of these changes. Her blog, Film Studies for Free, brought the idea of Open Access within the field to a whole array of scholars, and her pioneering work in video essays transformed the way that film scholarship can come closer to their objects of study than ever before. In this interview conducted in the heart of the annual SCMS conference, Catherine discusses her discovery of art cinema, her research on world cinema and auteurism in the digital age, and the role that these new visual tools have changed the way she approaches cinema. They top off their conversation by turning to The Headless Woman and how Argentine director Lucrecia Martel creates a hyper-attentive spectator in the most breathtaking drama of recent memory. 0:00-3:26 Opening 4:25-9:14 Establishing Shots — Preview of "This American Life — Jonathan Demme" 9:59-1:00:05 Deep Focus — Catherine Grant 1:00:55-1:03:11 Sponsorship Section 1:04:09-1:1:39 Double Exposure — The Headless Woman (Lucrecia Martel) 1:19:43-1:22:02 Close / Outtake
