Yesterday (December 5th, 2016) was the 126th birthday of German director turned Hollywood Auteur, Fritz Lang. Today, we honor the legendary filmmaker with a discussion of his 1931 classic, M. Host, Lady P, is joined by co-producer, Martin Kessler, and Flixwise regular, Carrie Specht, to talk about Lang's disturbingly prescient tale about the dangers of mob rule and police overreach. The panel talks about how well the message of the film holds up to contemporary audiences, and whether or not it is worthy of the 56th spot on the Sight and Sound Greatest Films of All Time List. Then, in honor of Peter Lorre's Hans Beckert character, the panel delves in to a discussion about sympathetic villains. They talk about the ways in which a sympathetic villain differs from a charismatic villain, or an anti-hero. Plus, each panelist gives their Top 5 examples of the type.

Lady P is joined today by Flixwise regulars Martin Kessler and Carrie Specht to discuss the 33rd entry on Sight and Sound's "Greatest Film's of All Time" list, Vittorio De Sica's BICYCLE THIEVES. Upon its release in 1948 BICYCLE THIEVES was immediately hailed as a classic and It even managed to snag the number 1 spot on the 1952 Sight and Sound critics poll.  While the film has dropped a few rungs on the Sight and Sound list, it is still considered by many to be the high-water mark of Italian Neo-Realist cinema. The panel discusses BICYCLE THIEVES enduring appeal, and the larger impact of the Neo-Realist movement in film history. Then the panel gets a little verklempt talking about their favorite movie tear jerkers. BICYCLE THIEVES is a heart-wrencher to be sure, but does it bring our panelist to tears? If not, then what kinds of films do make them cry?

Lady P is joined by Carrie Specht and Anne Marie Kelly to talk about Martin Scorsese's 1976 feature TAXI DRIVER. TAXI DRIVER is tied for the 31st spot on the Sight and Sound Critics' Poll with another "Golden Age" cornerstone: Francis Ford Coppola's THE GODFATHER PT. II. Yes, two of the darkest entries in the 1970's cinema canon landed side-by-side on the "Greatest Films of All Time" list. A coincidence? Perhaps. But nevertheless, while one may forever be the loneliest number, 31 is now officially in the running for broodiest. And speaking of Coppola, a few weeks ago, during an off-air conversation, Carrie casually mentioned that she thinks Francis Ford Coppola is the "greatest living American director." We felt this statement deserved greater unpacking, so this week we hit the record button and talked in detail about it means to be a "uniquely-American" filmmaker.  Then the panelists each offer up their picks for top auteur.

On today's show, Anne Marie Kelly and Carrie Specht join Lady P to talk about the 31st feature on the Sight and Sound Critics Poll: Francis Ford Coppola's THE GODFATHER PT II. Regular listeners will recall that Lady P was less than totally ecstatic about the previous GODFATHER entry; and any criticism of THE GODFATHER series qualifies as heresy amongst some cinephiles--movie people have ways of taking care of heretics. Find out if Lady P's changed her tune for Part II, or if she'll soon find herself on a moonlit boating trip. And since GODFATHER PT II is the only sequel on the Sight and Sound Poll, the panelists take the opportunity to talk about Hollywood's recent proliferation of series and franchises. Then they each list some their favorite movie sequels.

Yesterday, December 15th 2014, marked the 75th anniversary of the release of the Selznick adaptation of GONE WITH THE WIND; a film that is often cited as the crowning achievement of a year that's brimming with classics. For those who are mathematically challenged (No judgement here. This is movie podcast, not an algebra podcast) that year is 1939, the supposed "Greatest Year in Cinema History." And why, you ask, should anyone give a damn? Well, in this episode Lady P is once again joined by two of her favorite classic-film-aficionados, Anne Marie Kelly and Carrie Specht, to ask that very question, and to reflect on whether or not this historic 365 day period lives up to its reputation. Plus, everyone offers up their own personal favorite 1939 movie selections. But before they get into all that, there's the small matter of the next Sight and Sound entry to tackle. This time the panelist offer their analyses of the 24th Greatest Film of All Time, Akira Kurosawa's RASHOMON. Will our group of ladies find Toshiro Mifune's devilish bandit as charming as he thinks he is, or will they take the side of the humorless bandit? Listen up to find out.

All October long we at Flixwise have steadfastly refused to indulge in the ritual demonic possession that seems to come upon many of our fellow-movie bloggers around mid-September. We figured the internet would safely reach peak-monster without any help from us. And also, we're giant scaredy-cats, so in lieu of spooks and slashers, we offered up singing, dancing, and merriment in the form of a Musical Marathon. However, now that Halloween is actually upon us, we've decided to relent on the whole no haunting business. Without further ado we present our audio offering to the Lords of the Underworld (ie. Hades, Mictecacihuatl, Jack Skellington, etc.) It's the Flixwise Halloween Special! Lady P, is once again, joined by Carrie Specht and Anne Marie Kelly. The three of them each recount their stories the very first time that they were scared by a movie. Listeners best curl up with a hot cider, a roaring fire, last years trick or treat spoils, and a cozy blanket, because trust us, these tales will make your blood run cold. So, so cold!* *Okay, we can't promise any actual scares, though there are some truly terrifying scary-movie puns. You've been warned...

It's the last leg of our Musical Marathon! Here at Flixwise we believe that no foray into the world of song and dance is complete without a stop in Fred and Ginger territory. So before we make our exit, we're bringing you our analysis of George Stevens' 1936 feature, SWING TIME. The founder and editor of ClassicFilmFan.com, Carrie Specht, is on hand to present the film for the Flixwise Favorites List. Listen up to see if she can convince Anne Marie Kelly, and your host, Lady P, that SWING TIME is indeed the belle of the ball when it comes to the RKO musical comedies. We hope you enjoyed our October of counter programming. We promise to revisit this topic very soon. If listeners have any suggestions for future Flixwise Favorites episodes. Let us know via Facebook, Twitter, or Email.       

The October of counter-programming continues with our next musical submission to the Flixwise Favorites List. This time The Film Experience's Anne Marie Kelly makes her case for why she thinks WEST SIDE STORY is one of the greatest movies of all time. She's got to convince Lady P and special guest, Carrie Specht, that they should be equally enchanted with Robert Wise's film.  It's charming to be sure, but anything short of alarmingly charming just won't do. Is the epic battle over which nationality can snap their fingers loudest as gripping as ever? Listen up to find out if our panel is as smitten with WEST SIDE STORY as Tony is with Maria.

In our SINGING IN THE RAIN episode we promised you a musical marathon, and we always make good on our promises. Starting this week, and continuing all through October, will have a series of minisodes in which each week we deliberate on one musical entry to the Flixwise Favorites List. We are aware that historically October is typically to be devoted to all things horror. However here at Flixwise we're offering a respite from the creatures who go bump in the night.  I believe they refer to this in the biz as counter-programming. We hope you enjoy! That being said, our first musical entry is many ways an absolutely bone chilling film. Lady P is pitching Bob Fosse's 1972 feature CABARET. She is joined by the author of The Film Experience's "A Year With Kate" series, Anne Marie Kelly, and the editor and founder of Classicfilmfan.com, Carrie Specht. Together they analyze the film and determine whether it is worthy of entry into the Flixwise's stable of Alternate Greatest Films of All Time.   Get well soon Liza!

We watched 1948's The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre with guests Carrie Specht from Classicfilmfan.com and Paxton Holley from The Cult Film Club Podcast and now we all want to do a prospectin' jig.
