On this episode of What a Picture, Bryan and Hannah don their best beekeeping suits to discuss The Spirit of the Beehive, the 1973 movie directed by Víctor Erice that ranks #84 on Sight and Sound's 2022 Greatest Films of All Time Critics' Poll.

The Cast of Cthulhu goes low-budget for this episode to cover Slamdance alum, The Last Lovecraft: Relic of Cthulhu. An intriguing premise is sabotaged by juvenile humor tinged with homophobia and hamstrung by a budget and scope so small that it never feels like there's a threat to anything (other than good taste). Though the filmmakers were clearly tuned into Lovecraftian lore, they were out of touch with B-movie charm. Read the PopMatters review of The Last Lovecraft: Relic of Cthulhu.

David Bax of Battleship Pretension returns for his third sleepover in the witch house where he witnesses Jim have an existentialist crisis in real time as he realizes that perhaps Mia Watkins' and Catherine Hardwicke's supremely unfaithful adaptation is not very good. Keziah Mason looks cool no doubt, but this adaptation in name only ditches the fatalism and math for spiritualism and a version of Brown Jenkins whose masterplan is just to be kind of a big jerk, I guess?  If you want your own "Fight Like a Final Girl" t-shirt, be sure to head over to Poltergeists and Paramours.

Greetings! Happy Halloween to you all! In this episode we are joined by Battleship Pretension co-host Tyler Smith to discuss one of the most terrifying films ever made, Ridley Scott's ALIEN (1979).

Rob Poyton and Tim Mendees from Innsmouth Book Club hop across the pond to join us for a discussion on horror literature. Leaving the smell of fish behind them, the gents bring classy English accents to go along with a discussion on what makes writing scary in contrast with film, the differences between horror fiction and Lovecraft's signature brand of "weird fiction," and -- of course -- a plethora of recommendations of stories and books to enjoy (and avoid).  If you want to check out any of the work mentioned on this episode, you can use the links below to read or purchase.

Battleship Pretension's David Bax returns almost two years after his first appearance to talk about yet another adaptation of "Dreams in the Witch House" (and also his latest podcast, The One Where I Met Your Mother and also his thoughts on NHL free agency). Basically everything from the production quality to narrative logic in Bobby Easley's H.P. Lovecraft's Witch House (based on the novel Push by Sapphire) is severely lacking, but gosh darnit, at least it feels like they're trying. Sure, the ending muddles the entire journey and the story plays up too much Judeo-Christian mythology and the math literally adds up to nothing, but at least they're trying something beyond straight titillation.  Follow David on Twitter @daveypretension Listen to The One Where I Met Your Mother Check out The Cast of Cthulhu on Facebook or Twitter and email any questions or comments to moviesofmadness@gmail.com.

In this archived discussion, film critic Tyler Smith of Battleship Pretension joined the podcast to discuss the ways in which his Christian faith and his love of filmmaking collide in interesting and controversial ways! 

Tyler and David are joined by old favorites Josh Fadem and Johnny Pemberton to celebrate 750 episodes of Battleship Pretension.

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear. And the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." - H.P. Lovecraft "Adding a Lovecraft quote to your film doesn't make your film Lovecraftian." - The Cast of Cthulhu So, we're talking about The Endless, a film that pays lip service to Lovecraft, but we're also talking about so much more than that, so check out the timecode notes below if you want to get straight to the discussion of a film that raises more questions about its world in its attempt to give us answers and that fundamentally misunderstands the term "Lovecraftian" (if that's even what the filmmakers were intending in the first place). We don't get into that discussion until 42:03 though as we first spend some time to encourage listeners to pick up Battleship Pretension's 101 Best Movies of the 2010s at 1:13, discuss our thoughts on #TheSnyderCut at 3:45, and discuss the horrific allegations against Richard Stanley and why we support his "canceling" (and also why we hate that term) at 19:18. For more information on AAPI organizations to support in the wake of the horrible actions of a white supremacist, check out this link and let's all contribute to stopping Asian hate.

Tyler Smith is a film reviewer who hosts two podcasts with More Than One Lesson specifically from a Christian perspective. We talk about why Christian movies seem to be lackluster as well as other movies looking at it through a Christian lens.

This week's Out Now with Aaron and Abe (https://www.facebook.com/outnowpodcast) is taking things from the snow to the living room. Aaron is joined by FirstShowing’s Alex Billington and Battleship Pretension’s David Bax to discuss the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. The group puts a spotlight on a variety of features and documentaries, including the best films they caught up with, the worst, and the weirdest. There’s even time for a game! Even though not everyone could catch up with all of the films, if any, it’s fun to get a sense of what could be coming to screens for all to eventually see.

This week's Out Now with Aaron and Abe (https://www.facebook.com/outnowpodcast) has a gesture combined with a word for you. Aaron and Abe are joined by Battleship Pretension’s Scott Nye and Forbes’ Scott Mendelson to discuss Christopher Nolan’s Tenet. The group digs into the cerebral blockbuster that proved to be a major point of discussion for its release plans in 2020, in addition to being another major effort facing many thoughts surrounding its twisty plotting and distinct sound design choices (and the podcast itself is inverted to an extent as well, so enjoy that).

Happy New Year, y'all! Before discussing the surprisingly good Black Mountain Side, we catch up on some news and housekeeping, including Jim bidding adieu to I Do Movies Badly (boo...), a new home for The Cast of Cthulhu on Battleship Pretension (hooray!), and discussion about indie directors Benson & Moorehead signing on to Moon Knight. But if you'd like to bid auld lang syne to what was and focus on what's ahead, skip ahead to roughly 31 minutes where we dig into Nick Szostakiwskyj's Black Mountain Side, a claustrophobic slow burn cosmic horror film with more questions than answers and the creepiest, most gravel-y voice this side of the French New Wave. Head over to The Lovecraft eZine to read the interview with writer/direct Nick Szostakiwskyj's quoted in the episode.

This week's Out Now with Aaron and Abe (https://www.facebook.com/outnowpodcast) takes a trip back to the Golden Age. Aaron and Abe are joined by Battleship Pretention’s Tyler Smith to discuss Mank, the David Fincher film that digs into the story behind the writing of Citizen Kane. The group has a long discussion regarding the quality of the film, Fincher’s choices, the legacy of Kane, and more. Additionally, the trio also plays a game and goes over some listener feedback to round out the episode. So now, if you've got an hour or so to kill...

Tyler and David are joined by Battleship Pretension's resident musicologist West Anthony to discuss the career of Ennio Morricone.

Spooktober! All month, we're talking about pop culture associated with Halloween. This week we're talking about scary movies from four different decades. This week's guest is David Bax of Battleship Pretension. 11:30 - David talks about The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. 20:00 - Sam resurrects The Mummy (1932). 28:00 - Andy goes to the mall with Romero's Dawn of the Dead. 39:30 - Tessa stays awake for A Nightmare on Elm Street. Full Transcript

Tyler and David are joined by their two favorite Torontonians, Nick Flanagan and Jeremy Woodcock, to celebrate 700 weeks of Battleship Pretension.

Lovecraft's influence wasn't just felt by novelists and filmmakers; Lovecraftian elements have shown up in comics, board games, and video games as well. Tyler Smith of Battleship Pretension joins the podcast to talk about one such video game in which Lovecraftian elements feature heavily, Sierra's fourth installment of the Quest for Glory franchise, Shadows of Darkness! Having never played the game as kid, Jim mostly facilitates the conversation between the nostalgic James and Tyler as they walk down memory lane talking about the defunct Sierra's catalogue and approach to tone, some of their favorite in jokes from the game, what a horror video game experience can offer that a film can't, and what "Lovecraftian" means to Tyler. Listen to Tyler at both Battleship Pretension and More Than One Lesson Follow him on Twitter @tylerpretension Learn more about his documentary, Reel Redemption: The Rise of Christian Cinema And we're just days away from the premiere of Lovecraft Country on HBO! Listen to Jim on FanSided's Lovecraft Country Chronicles talking about Lovecraft the man, the problematic legacy, and how his influence will be seen - and subverted! - on the show.

David Bax remains the only I Do Movies Badly guest to actively pitch me topics and thus, he returns for the second time in three months to discuss some Canuxploitation films - or, less fun, "tax shelter films" - in which our neighbors of the Great White North used tax laws to create genre films that were precursors to American genre films in more ways than one. There is, of course, some talk about the impending NHL playoffs and why they're a stupid idea, wading into the waters of questioning if Hamilton is a "movie" or not, and, obviously, the recommendations: Bob Clark's Black Christmas (1974), George Mihalka's My Bloody Valentine (1981), and Mark L. Lester's Class of 1984 (1982). 

Tyler and David are joined by Battleship Pretension editor-at-large Scott Nye to count down their respective top five films of the year so far.

Filmmaker and host of the Battleship Pretension podcast Tyler Smith makes a long-awaitied return to the studio.

Instead of listening to Battleship Pretension this week, help us oppose police brutality.

In their almost-one-year episode, Tim and Jay talk to Tyler Smith, writer and director of the film Reel Redemption, about God's Not Dead; Christians and movies; the relationship between Christianity and Hollywood; The Last Temptation of Christ and The Passion of the Christ; God's Not Dead; the best Christian movies that aren't Christian movies; God's Not Dead 2; Christian movies as a new genre; and God's Not Dead.We also mentioned God's Not Dead.Show Notes:Opening music: "Let's Start at the Beginning," Lee RosevereClosing music: "Découvre moi," Marc Senet & Simon GrivotLinks:Reel RedemptionTyler's podcasts: More Than One Lesson and Battleship Pretension

This week's Out Now with Aaron and Abe (https://www.facebook.com/outnowpodcast) is receiving a signal… from the skies! Aaron and Battleship Pretension’s David Bax discuss The Vast of Night, the directorial debut of Andrew Patterson. The guys discuss the strength of this directorial debut and what it is about this 50s-set sci-fi flick that speaks well to what independent features are capable of. Following some listener feedback, the group also discusses streaming services, which ones cater to what aspects of media, smaller services deserving a shout out, and the best way to allocate funds in regards to which services would serve best for folks.

David and guest co-host Julie Sesnovich are joined by Battleship Pretension editor-at-large Scott Nye and Nerdist.com Senior Editor Kyle Anderson to discuss the movies they watched during the first ever Special Home Edition of the TCM Classic Film Festival.

I Do Movies Badly returns from its month-long with David Bax of Battleship Pretension in tow (tug? Like a tugboat? That's a boat joke). It's been a while, so there's a good deal of catching up first including some talk on working and viewing habits in the pandemic, recapping my improvised marriage in the face of a shelter in place order, and revisiting the lost bet* that resulted in David choosing the topic of discussion.  That topic of discussion, by the way, is on Soviet silent films, which were ahead of their times in how they pioneered editing techniques (...and state funded propaganda). It's a return to film school as David recommends Sergei Eistenstein's Battleship Potemkin (1925), Vsevolod Pudovkin's Mother (1926), and Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera (1929).

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and special guests Jane Jensen (Writer/Designer of the Gabriel Knight Trilogy) + Tyler Smith (Host of Battleship Pretension) discuss the Gabriel Knight trilogy of computer games. A thriller writer becomes embroiled in a supernatural world that is not unlike the very novels he writes. One of Sierra's darker franchises, the Gabriel Knight games combined the sexiness and love of historical detail of an Anne Rice novel with the gothic romance of the Hammer Horror films of the 1960s and 1970s. Characters had actual arcs. Yes, there was violence, but what's more notable is how sex is treated in an adult way in these games. Jane Jensen released a remake of the first game entitled Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition with new voice-acting without the all-star Hollywood talent of the original. Jensen now writes gay romance novels under the pen name Eli Easton with over 30 titles to her name.      Huge thanks to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode.

New York-based DP/director Sean Meehan returns to IDMB to talk about another DP/director, Reed Morano! The conversation is a little more inside baseball than usual with some film school-ish explanations of the technical and creative considerations that go into being a DP (I learned where the term "color timing" came from!), but it transitions into an excellent conversation about why Morano was equipped to be a great director by first being a great DP.  Seeing Morano's third feature as director, The Rhythm Section hasn't yet been released, Sean had to get clever and recommend one film that she was lensing rather than directing, making January's titles: Meadowland (2015), The Skeleton Twins (2014), and I Think We're Alone Now (2018).

Professor Tyler Smith makes his second appearance on I Do Movies Badly this year to discuss how he easily could have split his Mike Leigh recommendations into 2 episodes. We've only got time for 1 though, so we'll have to make do with a discussion on his approach to why he teaches some films over others in his classes, what it means for Leigh to be an Oscar-nominated writer despite such a heavy improvisational directing style, what it means to be objective vs. observational, and a little bit of fantasy film casting (who would Eddie Marsan play in your Harry Potter franchise?). Avoiding Leigh's more tightly controlled period pieces, Tyler recommends Naked (1993), Secrets & Lies (1996), and Happy-Go-Lucky (2008).

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, William Thrasher, Jersey Jason, and guest Tyler Smith (Battleship Pretension) discuss the animated feature Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. They also touch on the live-action Batman 1960s TV series and the animated Batman 1990s series. Batman has been portrayed in so many different ways there's bound to be a Batman that works for you! Along with the X-Men cartoon, Batman: The Animated Series kicked off a trend of more adult animation with long serialized stories with a rich continuity.  Follow the show on Twitter @Sequelcast2 Like our Sequelcast 2 Facebook Page Sequelcast 2 is delighted to be a member of The Batman Podcast Network.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, William Thrasher, Jersey Jason, and special guest Tyler Smith of Battleship Pretension discuss Tim Burton's first Batman film. The Dark Knight squares off against the Clown Prince of Crime! A departure from the Adam West TV show from the 1960s, Batman reimagines the hero as a brooding man haunted by his past. Michael Keaton acquits himself well with Bruce Wayne's pathos, but is blown off the screen by Jack Nicholson's meatier stab at the Joker. Danny Elfman's rousing score would influence film soundtracks for decades to come.    Follow the show on Twitter @Sequelcast2 Like our Sequelcast 2 Facebook Page Sequelcast 2 is delighted to be a member of The Batman Podcast Network.

Mark, Aaron and Scott Nye kick off the first of a seven episode series about French cinema in the 1930s. We give an overview of the decade and some historical context, and discuss the French silent tradition and how that it transitioned to sound. We also get into detail about two important filmmakers, Jacques Feyder and Jean Vigo. Feyder was an important filmmaker in his time, but his works are not as prominent today, whereas Vigo was nearly forgotten in the 1930s and discovered after the war.

Mark and Aaron are joined by Scott Nye to hash out the intricate themes, history, and nuance of Edward Yang's A Brighter Summer Day. Given the length and depth of the film, we explored it in detail, distilling the cultural and societal clashes that took place in a pivotal period of Chinese and Taiwanese history. We also compare it to what is considered Yang's other masterpiece, Yi Yi, and we touch on the New Taiwanese Cinema movement. About the film: Among the most praised and sought-after titles in all contemporary film, this singular masterpiece of Taiwanese cinema, directed by Edward Yang, finally comes to home video in the United States. Set in the early sixties in Taiwan, A Brighter Summer Day is based on the true story of a crime that rocked the nation. A film of both sprawling scope and tender intimacy, this novelistic, patiently observed epic centers on the gradual, inexorable fall of a young teenager (Chen Chang, in his first role) from innocence to juvenile delinquency, and is set against a simmering backdrop of restless youth, rock and roll, and political turmoil.
