After a longer than expected Spring hiatus, The Film '89 Podcast is back and on Episode 134, returning co-hosts Matthias Van De Roest and Bill Scurry join Steve and Skye to celebrate the 40th anniversary of acclaimed director William Friedkin's 1985 crime drama To Live and Die in L.A. Something of a return to form for Friedkin after a number of critical and commercial failures, the film would tap into the same gritty police procedural approach that made his 1971 masterpiece The French Connection so successful. Starring William Petersen, John Pankow, Debra Feuer, Darlanne Fluegel, Dean Stockwell, John Turturro and featuring a brilliantly threatening turn from Willem Dafoe as counterfeiter Eric Masters, To Live and Die in L.A. also features gorgeous cinematography by Robby Müller and a stunning new wave soundtrack by Wang Chung. As well as giving their usual in-depth analysis, the guys also dig into the making of the film, paying particular attention to its incredible car chase sequence. So fasten your seatbelts and hold on tight as the Film '89 team explore one of the quintessential crime dramas of not just the 1980s, but any decade.

On Episode 131 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Steve, Neil and Skye are joined by returning co-hosts, Bill Scurry and Matthias Van De Roest to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Academy Award winning crime thriller, The Usual Suspects (1995). Critically acclaimed upon its release and making a considerable worldwide box office haul on a meagre $6 million budget, it's amazing ensemble case, incredible Oscar winning script, precise editing and sharp direction would make it an endearing classic of the 1990s. Unfortunately the film doesn't get spoken about as frequently as it once did, likely due to the controversy that arose in the intervening years surrounding its director and one of its stars. But putting aside those issues and examining it purely as a work of collaborative art, The Usual Suspects remains one of the greatest crime dramas ever conceived and is a film that's endlessly rewarding and rewatchable.

On Episode 119 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Steve, Skye and Bill Scurry discuss a film that's been high on the list of films that they've most wanted to dedicate an episode to since the podcast began. The one big stumbling block that was preventing them from doing so was it's lack of availability on any kind of modern HD format, having never even had a release on Blu-Ray. But fortunately it was given a shiny new 4K upgrade earlier this year for its 35th anniversary. That film is of course The Abyss, James Cameron's 1989 underwater science fiction thriller that got a significantly bulked up rerelease in 1993 in the form of the considerably longer and undeniably better Special Edition. As well as their usual in-depth analysis of the film, they take the deep dive into the making of The Abyss, a film whose production was one of the most ambitious and frankly arduous ever attempted.

Following on from the harrowing events of the second film and the loss of Spock, actor Leonard Nimoy would make his directorial debut and craft a film about death and, as the title suggests, rebirth. Employing superb practical and optical effects that more than hold up 40 years on, the guys fight the corner for a Trek film that they feel is somewhat underrated as well as providing their usual passionate and in-depth analysis in this celebration of the film and where for them it ranks amongst the numerous big screen Trek outings.

On Episode 111 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Skye and regular guest host, Bill Scurry don their colours and venture into the violent New York of 1979 to discuss Walter Hill's cult classic film, The Warriors. Beloved by film critics such as Pauline Kael, the film was controversially pulled from cinema's by Paramount three weeks into its theatrical run following reported outbreaks of gang violence at theatres. The film wasn't the financial success that Hill had wanted but in the years that followed, The Warriors attained an ever growing following and a second life on television and home video, and is now regarded as not only one of Hill's best films, but as a beloved example of ‘70s American cinema. Oozing style from every pore and armed with a phenomenal synth-rock score by composer Barry De Vorzon, The Warriors is a film as worthy as any of the Film ‘89 treatment.

The Pink Smoke is coming in from the cold to debrief our listeners on 100 years worth of espionage thrillers. Starting in the 1920's, we chose one notable spy movie (as well as a few alternate picks) for each decade leading to our present day in order to decode how they reflect the history and pop culture of their respective epoch. From the years leading to World War II through the Cold War and up to the modern age of counterintelligence in the time of domestic terrorism and the internet, we recruited agents John Arminio (co-host of Popcorn Eschaton!) and Bill Scurry (co-host of I Don't Get It) to analyze these cloak-and-dagger tales and what they have to say about the excitement and morality of the spy profession. In Part One, we cover the 1920's through the 1970's which includes one epic silent masterpiece, various adventures set behind enemy lines during the war of nations, intimate stories of British citizens who exploit governments for personal gain, human dramas about moral degradation behind the Iron Curtain and post-Watergate paranoid thrillers.

The wait is over! It's been a whole year since Richie, Skye, Adam Rackoff and Bill Scurry gave their epic assessment of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring for the film's 20th anniversary and, as promised, the guys are back together one year on to give their in-depth analysis of the second part of Peter Jackson's epic trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002). This remarkable film is every bit as astonishing as the first, and then some. Not only are a slew of new characters and locations introduced, but there are technologies put to use here that would have a huge impact on the special effects industry for years to come. Aside from the film's technical merits, the story being told is done with such care and an exacting precision and with such deftly skilled craftsmanship and acting talent as to truly create a film for the ages and one that solidifies Jackson and Co's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's books as a true masterpiece of modern filmmaking. So pick up your sword and axe and step once more into Middle Earth with Episode 89 of The Film ‘89 Podcast.

On Episode 81 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Richie and Skye are face to face with a genetically engineered tyrant as former guest host and friend of the Film ‘89 team, Bill Scurry, joins the guys in person to discuss one of their all-time favourite films, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) which celebrates its 40th anniversary the same week this episode was recorded. The guys discuss the making of the second big screen Trek outing following their discussion 3 years ago of Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). Following production troubles on that film, significant changes were made behind the scenes when the sequel was put into production. The stellar cast including Paul Winfield and Ricardo Montalban, are discussed as is James Horner's phenomenal score and a near perfect script, elements that come together to make a film held by many as the high point of a franchise that's been going since 1966.

On Episode 79 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Steve and Skye are joined by regular guest host, filmmaker Bill Scurry, to discuss Ridley Scott's seminal science fiction classic, Blade Runner (1982) which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Blade Runner is without doubt one of the most influential films not just within the sci-fi genre, but in any genre. Scott's film had a troubled production and was something of a failure upon its initial release in June of 1982, but over four decades has seen it revived and rejuvenated and gain a huge following. For a time it attained cult classic status but unlike many films that fail on their initial release only to find appreciation later on, Blade Runner's following has grown way beyond that of a mere cult film. Easily as influential a motion picture as the likes of Citizen Kane or Star Wars, Blade Runner has left an indelible mark on the landscape of cinema, a masterpiece of visual and technical filmmaking like few others, celebrated here by the Film ‘89 Team as they discuss in-depth the fascinating making of and lasting legacy of Ridley Scott's masterpiece.

The guys give their spoiler-filled, in-depth analysis of the second of two big Zack Snyder films in 2021. Is Army of the Dead a worthy addition to the already vast horde of zombie films, television shows and video games we've been besieged by these last two decades or so, or is it a shuffling corpse that brings nothing new to the zombie sub-genre? As well as Army of the Dead, the guys discuss Snyder's directorial career, the new type of delivery method of films that's currently filling in for cinema's absence and lots more besides.
