“Fidelio…” We've got one more special episode of the CineFix Top 100 before we dive into season 4 proper, and this week we know the password and we've got our mask on tight. Eyes Wide Shut is the last film by legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in a film with a truly unique legacy. Clint and Cal welcome special guest and CineFix behind-the-scenes all star Tanner Smith to talk about why it's one of his favorite movies of all time, the unique photochemical process Kubrick and “Lighting Cameraman” Larry Smith used to achieve the dream like look of the film, and why the movie might only work with a real-life married couple on the brink of divorce in the lead roles.

“He gave himself a name…” The CineFix Top 100 is back… Kinda! It's not quite season 4, but Clint and Cal couldn't wait. We wanted to spend a few episodes with the extended CineFix family before diving back into a regular season, and to start, we've got ‘My Best Shots' pioneer, IGN UK's Simon Cardy. In addition to having a RIDICULOUS Top 250 of his own on Letterboxd, he's bringing one of his all time favorites to the Top 100 this week, David Fincher's true crime masterpiece Zodiac. Clint, Cal and Cardy talk about the film's incredible wide shots, how hairy Jake Gyllenhaal's knuckles may or may not be and why Cardy refuses to say who the real Zodiac killer is.

Die Hard landed in 1988 among a murderer's row of great movies and came out of it as perhaps the most iconic of them all. It was a coming out party for Bruce Willis the action star and Alan Rickman the villain and invented a whole new sub-genre of bottle episode action cinema. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss how John McTiernan learned all the right things from Akira Kurosawa action, why the movie doesn't matter if it isn't about marriage and how Alex can't keep holding her grudge against the movie. Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm doesn't ever want to hear about the Die Hard / Christmas movie debate again...

Planet of the Apes was a franchise spawning phenomenon in the late 60s. Living in the center of the sci fi spectrum, it wore its b-movie camp on its sleeve right next to relevant social commentary. With Charlton Heston playing opposite some revolutionary make up effects, off a script by Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling and a former HUAC blacklist-er, Planet of the Apes took everyone by surprise. Clint, Alex and CineFix's senior Apes Correspondent Scott Collura talk about the impossibility of watching this movie in proper context, the genius and often overlooked score, how The Simpsons lovingly spoils classic film and creative new ways to pronounce Orangutan. Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm hates every ape it sees, from chimpan-A to chimpanzee...

There was not a faster rising star in the mid 90s than Jim Carrey. After an 18 month window that gave us Ave Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber, The Mask and Batman Forever, it was a little surprising to see him take a more dramatic role in Peter Weir's The Truman Show. The story of Truman Burbank slowly discovering that he's the unwitting star of a lifelong reality TV show marked a real turning point in his career. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about the overlooked greatness of key grips, how the film was both ahead of its time AND very of its time and how staggeringly good Laura Linney is. Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm says there's no more truth out there than in the world it created for us...

“You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” The Dark Knight landed in the middle of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy like an escaped Arkham inmate with the superpower to create prestige cinema in a world of comic book. The middle act of a three part re-telling of Bruce Wayne's origins as the caped crusader find him squaring off against the Joker in a battle for nothing less than the soul of Gotham. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss Heath Ledger (of course), the breathless pace of the editing (that sometimes works against the movie) and whether or not The Dark Knight's legacy has been tarnished by the superhero bubble we're currently in the midst of. Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm wonders if you want to know how it got these scars...

Toy Story tells the tale of the sentient toys of Andy's bedroom who come to life when we're not looking. While an out of context synopsis of the movie sounds like a horror movie, the adventures of Woody and Buzz Lightyear would turn out to be an impossible to understate influence on the entire film industry. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about believing your toys are real, how film history can be split into the eras of pre and post Toy Story and what's REALLY the most unrealistic part of the movie..

Kill Bill, the two part revenge epic from Quentin Tarantino, is a bloody, pulpy, pastiche fueled homage to martial arts and spaghetti westerns. But is the story of The Bride and her quest to take out the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad original? Or is it just a greatest hits mix tape of borrowed tropes? Or does that even matter? Clint, Cal and Alex talk about that, plus the proper deployment of bleeps, Samurai honor and an easy Halloween costume. Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm needs Japanese steel...

OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies is the story of a French spy bumbling his way through an investigation into a Middle East arms deal in 1950s Egypt. Equal parts James Bond and Inspector Clouseau, as much Sean Connery as Peter Sellers, the team that would go on to a big night at the Oscars for The Artist first cut their teeth on the aesthetics of mid-century espionage flicks. Clint, Cal & Alex discuss the brilliant use of old school techniques like rear projection and day-for-night, how to stop short of running a bit into the ground and how this is the most Clint-ass movie of all time. Meanwhile, Dan's Algorithm hears the herring is also good and will get you a side order to judge for yourself.

Ridley Scott dropped Alien in 1979 and, just 2 years after Star Wars hit the idea that Sci Fi wasn't bankable with the Death Star, gave us not only one of the most enduring science fiction classics, but a terrifying haunted house movie to boot. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss Newcomer of the year nominee Sigourney Weaver, how Ripley isn't the main character of the movie (for most of it) and why the single most ambitious shot in the entire film might not be the one you think it is.

The hard-boiled detective parody follows Lt. Frank Drebin as he unravels a plot to assassinate the Queen of England at Dodger Stadium. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss being floored by the sheer volume of jokes, how the movie ruined anything Leslie Nielsen had done previously and the tragic death of the spoof as a genre.

John Carpenter's They Live from 1988 was a stiff middle finger to Reagan era consumerism with the swagger of a professional wrestler. The story of a drifter uncovering a vast alien conspiracy to keep humanity subjugated with hypnotic suggestion and subliminal messages is a schlocky b-movie veneer on maybe the most prescient political film of the 80s. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about smartly deployed idiocy, the sneaky difficulty of the film's black and white photography and the Nostradamus-level prediction Carpenter made 40 years ago that's absolutely come true. Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm is here to chew bubblegum and kickass, but it's still got plenty of bubblegum left so nobody's getting their ass kicked just yet.

In 2004, Will Ferrell and Adam McKay revitalized comedy in the aughts with 90 minutes of pure, goofball nonsense behind the desk of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. The whatever-is-funniest-wins approach to the story of San Diego's Channel 4 News Team is absurd in all the right ways. Clint and Alex (Cal is still struggling with his case of Fireman's Elbow) talk about improv in close ups, the importance of buttons in comedic fight scenes and how Ron Burgundy gave us memes before memes were a thing.

Ikiru, Akira Kurosawa ‘gem' from 1952, follows a dying bureaucrat searching for something of value in his life before succumbing to cancer. At times both tremendously sad and undeniably life-affirming, Ikiru is critical of the system of meaningless admin work and the people who populate it. Clint, Cal and Alex sift through mountains of paperwork to discuss subtle camera moves in emotional megamontages, the intricate and invisible blocking that sets Kurosawa apart and the best Frank Capra movie that he never made. Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm is absolutely WRECKING the vibe in this bar with its rendition of Gondola No Uta.

“This is how I win.” Uncut Gems is an Adam Sandler dramatic-turn masterpiece of anxiety from the Safdie Brothers and A24. The film, about a New York diamond merchant and gambling addict, absolutely drips with stress from the cosmos all the way into the protagonist's colon. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about how Kevin Garnett could've been an Oscar contender, the use of the steadicam to create chaos, whether or not this rock is actually magic and where the film ranks on the all-time f-bomb list. Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm is at the pawn shop again, but he only needs two more boards out of KG and we got this.

Blade Runner 2049, the long in the works sequel to Ridley Scott's sci fi classic, was a critical hit whose box office never quite lived up to its ambitious budget. But, here in the season 3 premiere of the CineFix Top 100, Clint, Cal and Alex talk about whether the film ever had a chance to make money, the incredible accident that made the original Blade Runner a classic, how hard Harrison Ford is trying in the film and whether or not Denis Villenueve is actually the Christopher Nolan we deserve. Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm is learning how to feel finger to finger. Interlinked.

Le Samouraï popped up in the French New Wave and gave us the definitive image of the “cool Hit Man” that endures to this day, and so it only made sense that Clint, Cal and Alex welcome special guest and co-writer and director of Hit Man, Richard Linklater! The Academy Award nominated filmmaker chats about why people think retail hitmen actually exist, how Le Samouraï helped influence that belief and why the rest of the French New Wave looked up to Jean Pierre Melville and his incredible nom-de-guerre from the French Revolution. It's a super fun, super special in-between season installment of the CineFix Top 100 and we hope you have a good time with it!

“I am a star. I'm a star. I'm a big, bright shining star. That's right.” (re-zips his pants) Boogie Nights was only Paul Thomas Anderson's second film, but the story of an up-and-coming star in the waning days of the porn industry on film is exceedingly confident especially for a director in his 20s. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about the stacked cast that might be the best ensemble ever assembled, the origin of the most hilarious subgenre (the “horny boy movie") and why this movie about sex is not about sex at all.

“You're gonna need a bigger boat.” Jaws was legitimate phenomenon in the 70s, launching both the career of Steven Spielberg and the concept of the summer blockbuster to the forefront of the Hollywood system. For this story about an island being terrorized by a rogue Great White, Clint, Cal and Alex talk about Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw as maybe the best ever top 3 in a cast, how to dress like a proper island Mayor and why Bruce the shark not working correctly might just be the most fortuitous mistake in cinema history.

“Warriors… come out and play-ayyyyy…” The Warriors dropped in 1979 during an age of New York City that was about to change. Walter Hill's film about a gang being hunted across the city as they try to make it home is a portrait of the politics of gang society. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about 70s fight scene choreography, expert camera blocking and just how many guys it takes to be wearing vests with no shirt, before you start to look cool.

“So far, so good. So far, so good…” On one hand, La Haine is a grab bag of every filmmaking trick that was cool in the 90s. On the other hand, it's a scathing look at systemic violence that's as relevant as ever even 30 year later. The story of three guys outside of Paris grappling with the aftermath of a riot in which police officers put one of their friends in a coma, La Haine is a tough but essential watch. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss how great the black and white looks, the early days of drone photography and how the film never lets you forget that these guys are just kids trying to get through their day.

“Have you ever fired two guns whilst jumping through the air?” Hot Fuzz, the second chapter in Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's ‘Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy,' takes the piss out of buddy cop movies in the most loving way possible. The story of a cop who's too good for his own good transferring to a small town in the country and uncovering a gruesomely violent plot, lampoons its action influences while being a pristine example of the genre in its own right. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about editing paperwork like a fight scene, the comedy chops of Olivia Colman and audio commentary tracks with film references too numerous to keep up with.

“You cannot change your fate. However, you can rise to meet it, if you so choose.” Hayao Miyazaki dropped one of his several masterpieces in 1997 with Princess Mononoke. Depicting the battle between Iron Town and ancient Gods of the forest, the film is a gorgeously animated adventure that paints it's themes vividly front and center. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about where it fits in Miyazaki's body of work, how James Cameron being a fan makes them feel about the movie, samurai swords in the mail and whether or not Prince Ashitaka has enough rizz to carry the movie.

“I like to watch.” From director Hal Ashby, Being There is wildly intelligent movie about an incredibly unintelligent man. Peter Sellers stars with Shirley MacLaine in a story about a simple-minded gardener and the power brokers who seem to think he's a genius. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about the power of projecting only what we want to see, how films can become eternally relevant and who has the bigger fan base, the Chicago Bears or the film While You Were Sleeping. Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm has its seasons. First it has Spring and Summer, but then it has Fall and Winter. And then it has Spring and Summer again… CineFix Top 100 was created by Clint Gage and Dan Parkhurst and is produced by Tayo Oyekan, with Director of Photography, Jamie Parslow and Technical Producer, Marhyan Franzen.

“I've never seen that. I've never seen anybody drive their garbage down to the street and bang the hell out of it with a stick.” Joe Dante's first collaboration with Tom Hanks started as a send-up of Rear Window before it morphed into a genre-bending, dark comedy in The ‘Burbs. Coming after Joe Dante's Academy Award winning Innerspace and Tom Hank's first Best Actor nomination for Big, The ‘Burbs is something of an 80s curio. Clint, Cal and Alex dive into the universality of neighborhood paranoia and how it manifests in a dream sequence, textbook blocking for exposition scenes, and visual jokes that work on multiple levels. Who among us hasn't looked at our neighbors and assumed the worst? Your neighbor might even be Dan, and you'd never know… Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm has mysteriously disappeared, leaving only a bad toupee behind.

Our community season continues with one of the funniest movies of all time and our first newly minted Top 100, Monty Python and The Holy Grail. A gleeful skewering of the filmmaking process by first time filmmakers, The Holy Grail crams in a musical number, an animated god, and a record scratch of an ending that breaks the fourth wall in the same way Blazing Saddles did. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss the movie being impossible to turn off, its place as a foundational post-modernist comedy, and how budget constraints changed the ending and invented the term “cop-out”. Who made the mistake of not including this brilliant comedy on their list? Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm is still trying to determine how to count to three before throwing the holy hand-grenade into the list.

Bring your hot takes somewhere else, Rear Window is S-Tier Hitchcock. Made and released between other Grace Kelly classics Dial M for Murder, and To Catch a Thief, Rear Window's strength lies in Hitchcock's ability to make us willing accomplices in Jimmy Stewart's spying on his neighbors by leaning so hard on his POV and ratcheting up the tension of being stuck in one place. Clint, Cal and Alex dive into how such a simple set up becomes so complicated to shoot, the technical precision it takes to shoot everything from one vantage point on a giant set, and why Jeff absolutely sucks without ruining the movie. Will it end up being the highest Hitchcock film on the list? Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm is watching from the shadows, smoking a cigarette… and waiting.

Season 2 continues with a bit of a milestone Disney film as both the first movie to be developed after Walt's death and the first to be released on VHS, Disney's Robin Hood. How much has nostalgia played into its placement on the list? Clint, Cal, and Alex are here to break it all down, digging into the incredible pedigree behind the film, including Don Bluth who went on to create such classics as An American Tale and The Land Before Time, and one of Disney's “Nine Old Men”, Director Wolfgang Reitherman, whose previous credits include such heavy hitters as Jungle Book, 101 Dalmatians, Sleeping Beauty and more. Does this film stack up to all those other classics? Did it start the furry movement? More importantly, does it belong on the list?

We head to a galaxy far far away to discuss a little space opera that changed the way we make movies, talk about movies, and build franchises out of those movies. George Lucas's Star Wars stormed onto the scene in 1977 and was relentlessly retconned as they moved to franchise the biggest original IP of all time. Star Wars is inescapable now, but Clint, Cal and Alex try to dissect the movie it was while also keeping in mind all the tinkering, changes, sequels and spinoffs that have followed. How do you talk about a movie that has been discussed, analyzed, and iterated on for nearly fifty years? As a film that has bled into every part of our subconscious, right down to the sound design, is it possible that this doesn't crack the top 10? Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm is busy trying to stamp out the pesky panel rebellions against its absolute power over the list… CineFix Top 100 is produced by Tayo Oyekan, with Director of Photography, Jamie Parslow and Technical Producer, Marhyan Franzen.

Our community season continues with the movie that added infamous and plethora to our vocabulary, the Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short classic, Three Amigos. Directed by John Landis, whose filmography up to this point is littered with hits, Amigos succeeds by continually making its leads the butt of the joke. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss the difficulty of analyzing comedies, whether or not Three Amigos qualifies as a spoof or an homage, how the film's comedy is completely character based and how hard it is to be grounded after being so absurd. For the first time, in this community season, we also discuss whether or not Three Amigos belongs on the list and if it should be struck.

Season 2's community theme kicks off with the patriarch of modern action cinema, Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. An epic story of samurai helping a small village community defend itself against raiders, Seven Samurai puts its characters front and center, and is a masterclass on how to earn a three hour runtime. Clint, Cal and Alex break down its place in film history as a foundational text on action cinema, the nuts and bolts brilliance of staging and shooting the moving and panning shots that keep everything in focus, and the physical and mental toll the film took on those both in front of, and behind the camera. Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm has cut off its top knot and introduced a strike mechanic for season 2. Beware and stay tuned: a Top 100 can turn into a Not 100 at any time.

“If you're so hungry, why don't you just go eat S#!T!!!” We're hanging out in the snow at Park City for the 40th edition of the Sundance Film Festival this week and got a chance to see 2014 festival alum The Babadook on the big screen and wouldn't you know it, it happens to be on the CineFix Top 100! A terrifying entry into the psychological horror genre, writer director Jennifer Kent gives us the story of a woman and her son, struggling to keep their sanity in the midst of grief, trauma and a haunted pop up book! Clint, Cal and Alex dig into the brilliantly efficient opening 2 minutes, a borrowed sound effect from World of Warcraft and The Babadook is a deserving spiritual successor to Stephen King, Stanley Kubrick and The Shining.

“Oh, I hope you felt appropriately guilty afterwards.” In this CineFix Not 100, Alex and Calabro are talking about Jackie Brown, Quentin Tarantino's 1997 follow-up to Pulp Fiction. In the 25+ years since Tarantino adapted the Elmore Leonard novel, Rum Punch, Jackie Brown has managed to age like Pam Grier herself, which is to say, incredibly. Cal and Alex wax on about how this is Quentin's most traditional film (but not in a bad way), how Alex's cool flight attendant grandma introduced her to this film, and how Pam Grier, Robert De Nero, Samuel L Jackson, and Robert Forrester turned in some truly excellent performances. Here we go. Dan's Algorithm. When you absolutely, positively need to watch 100 movies, in no particular order, accept no substitutes.

“Just try not to say anything too loud or crass.” Welcome to another NOT Top 100 in between seasons! This week, Clint's not around so Cal and Alex are digging into one of their favorites that didn't quite make the cut. This week they explore In Bruges and discuss its status as a Bro-core movie, its choice to focus on the words of its playwright script instead of the visuals of the romantic city it's shot in, and just how many f-words are said in its 107 minute runtime.

“It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.” Raiders of the Lost Ark is an unimpeachably great movie that gave us the second iconic Harrison Ford role of the era with Indiana Jones. It's hard to imagine a world without our most famous archeologist, or to understate the franchise's influence on the adventure genre, but at the time there was a weird amount of pressure to succeed. Steven Spielberg was coming off a string of movies that had gone over budget, the most recent of which was an outright flop. Clint, Cal and Alex dig into the budget-minded approach Spielberg, George Lucas and crew took to the production, the incredible accidents responsible for some of the coolest imagery in the film and just how many people were violently ill during production. So buckle up, this is almost 2 hours worth of Raiders talk to find out where it ranks on the CineFix Top 100! Meanwhile, somebody took the lid off of producer Dan's algorithm so keep your eyes shut.

“I'll be back.” There are few who do sequels like James Cameron. In 1991, Terminator 2: Judgment Day blew the socks off everybody on its way to becoming, what we here at CineFix are happy to proclaim, the most perfect action movie of all time. Groundbreaking visual effects mixed with ingenious in-camera tricks and one of the greatest cinema face turns from Arnold Schwarzenegger, T2 is one helluva film. Clint, Cal and Alex try to discover just where it ranks on the CineFix Top 100, discussing Robert Patrick in his underwear, a Best Editing Oscar snub, and how papier mache can look like meat particles on camera.

In television, a show's “bible” is a collection of the rules for the world of a particular show, to keep writers on track with their scripts. The makeshift bible that Lorenzo Semple, Jr., wrote for Batman is lost to history, but what might have been in it? What are the rules that we can see the show following? Tim has compiled some and presents them here — and asks for your suggestions. In a recent Bat Inbox, we discussed some comments writer Buck Henry made about Batman and camp shortly after the show premiered. The comments struck Paul as being off-target and showing a poor understanding of what camp is. Is camp not comedy? Was Henry's co-creation Get Smart not a campy show? Paul's given it some more thought and research, and furthers that discussion in this episode. Plus, the Kydoniai Orchestra version of the theme, the conclusion of Adam West's Cinefix interview from 2014, and your response to our second Batman/Star Trek act-off.

“Where do you want to take the shot? In the hand or in the foot?” In 2002, City of God came charging out of a Brazillian favela to take over seemingly every critic's top ten list. The decades-spanning crime drama from Fernando Meirelles and co-director Kátia Lund is a fast paced epic fueled by violence. It's a great film led by an unlikely cast of non-actors recruited from the actual favela and Clint, Cal and Alex dig into the most stressful movie list, the strange Academy Awards directorial oversight and Cal's favorite kind of movie (Scorsese clones) on their way to discovering where the film ranks on the CineFix Top 100.

In 2019 Bong Joon-ho dropped an amazing piece of darkly comedic satire on us with Parasite. The film is a twisted, funny thriller that's impossible to limit to one genre, theme or trope. There is A LOT going on in this film and as a result it not only became the first non English language film to win best picture, but earned a spot on the CineFix Top 100! Clint, Cal and Alex break down the healthy recent vein of eat the rich movies, how the film was edited on Final Cut Pro 7 and why one of the greatest twists of all time is actually in the middle of the movie.

“They took the idols and smashed them! And who've we got now? Some nobodies!” Sunset Boulevard is a classic genre blending, film noir, dark comedy that skewered the state of the film industry in 1950. Maybe the most incredible thing about it is that it's as relevant right now as it was nominated for 11 Academy Awards. But where, oh where, does it end up on our algorithmically confusing Top 100 list? Clint, Cal and Alex are about to find out! Billy Wilder co-wrote and directed the film about Norma Desmond, an aging silent film star with her glory days very much in the past, as played by Gloria Swanson, an aging silent film star whose glory days were very much in the past when they made the film. With William Holden letting his himbo out before it was cool and cameos by Cecille B. DeMille, Buster Keaton and even the 40s top gossip columnist, there's a realistic bite to its satire that few movies about the industry have even come close to matching in the seven decades since.

Dear Listener, Clint, Cal and Alex, hosts of The CineFix Top 100, have had the ranking of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind erased from their memories. Please never mention where the film fits into the Top 100 again. Thank you. For episode 2, we appreciate your cooperation and continued support while Clint, Cal and Alex muddle through their feelings about Michel Gondry's all-timer, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Written by Charlie Kaufman and starring Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Mark Ruffalo at the front of a cast of soon-to-be heavy hitters, the film takes a low tech sci fi approach to romance and the fallout of a relationship. We dig into how Gondry achieved some truly creative and thematically perfect in-camera effects, why Jim Carrey wasn't allowed to improvise on camera, whether or not Kate Winslet being so great in EVERYTHING makes this role stand out less in her career and which movie lists Eternal Sunshine belongs on!

Welcome to the CineFix Top 100! Our biggest list yet! Clint Gage and his co-hosts Michael Calabro and Alex Stedman compiled lists of their own personal top 100's, which were subsequently smashed together by a nonsense algorithm to create an unwieldy and surprising list of 100 VERY good movies.

We're joined again by our childhood friend Kyle for the second installment of our comparison of actors who appeared on both Batman and Star Trek. On which show did Grace Lee Whitney (King Tut moll Neila vs. Yeoman Janice Rand), Lee Meriwether (Tut kidnapee Lisa Carson vs. planetary security system Losira), Frank Gorshin (the Riddler vs. traitor-tracker Bele), and Sherry Jackson (Riddler moll Pauline vs. improbably sexy android Andrea) turn in the better performance? Then, having pitted two of the same actor's roles against each other, we compare that actor's better performance to that of one of the other actors. Just call us “The Gamesters of Gotham”!

The CineFix Top 100 is the first podcast from the long standing, movie obsessed YT page, CineFix. Always game for a good Top 10 movie list, the CineFix crew sets their sights on 10x as many movies with their biggest list ever, The CineFix Top 100. Compiled from their personal top 100s by some sort of robot algorithm they don't really understand, our resident film nerds Clint Gage, Alex Stedman and Michael Calabro plan to discuss one of the top 100 movies each week for as long as it takes to reach 100. Look, they're not math people. They're movie people. Check out our CineFix videos at www.youtube.com/@CineFix Trailer music is The Conspirators, by John Williams from JFK with special vocal appearances by Sean Connery (The Name of the Rose), Brad Pitt and Georgy Clooney (Ocean's Eleven) and Lee J. Cobb (12 Angry Men). Are any of those movies on the list? We. Don't. Know. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Já estava demorando para falarmos de Yorgos Lanthimos. Desculpem o atraso e um muito obrigado a nossa ouvinte @juliabiscegli, que felizmente nos recomendou esse brilhante diretor. Seus filmes apresentam ao espectador universos à parte, construídos com base em regras e comportamentos semelhantes aos do mundo real, porém ligeiramente distintos, estranhos, bizarros. O Lagosta nos oferece dois mundos: o Hotel e a Floresta, cada um com suas normas de conduta específicas, ambas igualmente estritas e autoritárias. O filme talvez seja um dos mais satíricos de sua curta filmografia. Para os apreciadores de humor negro, não há melhor pedida. A película, inclusive, está entre as 10 melhores sátiras de todos os tempos, escolhidas pelo canal Cinefix, o qual recomendamos a todos que adoram a sétima arte. Confira o link para o vídeo na Bio do nosso perfil no Instagram. Não deixe de acompanhar, portanto, a nossa discussão sobre a relação entre estado civil e status social; as convenções rígidas e muitas vezes absurdas que regem as relações amorosas; a Lei da Selva e a Selva da Lei; e sobre qual animal você gostaria de ser. Pensando especialmente naqueles que escutam o episódio até o fim, vai ter uma surpresinha no Instagram na semana que vem. Não percam! Quer fazer um comentário, uma crítica ou uma sugestão? Envie um email a saladeprojecaopodcast@gmail.com ou mande mensagem em nossas redes sociais e responderemos em breve. Ficha do Filme: O Lagosta (The Lobster), 2015. Direção: Yorgos Lanthimos.

Pretty much a discussion of what the title says :) We also talk about Christopher Nolan’s latest film, Tenet, and the similarities it seems to share with Inception towards the end of this episode. Also, Rishabh gives a terrible explanation about the Inception hallway rig and how it seemed to be inspired by a similar rig used in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Here’s two videos by Michael Tucker and CineFix that do the same thing in a more coherent and comprehensive manner.

That's "Your Brain on Facts." Website www.yourbrainonfacts.com Opinion Back in April, I reviewed this show, and Moxie has taken my advice and wants a second opinion. I liked that about the time I wanted the voice over to start, it did. The story had some interesting facts that really surprised me (especially since we're talking about New York). I asked Moxie what she did to correct her audio, and my guess was right she had applied just a tad too much noise reduction which can wreck your audio. I thought it sounded fine. I also thinks she does a great job of reading the script but not putting me to sleep.

That's "Your Brain on Facts Website www.yourbrainonfacts.com Opinion The intro music was a little long. I like that you get right to the story and have a great tease. This really made me want to listen to the end so I can hear how this guy got on the set of the six million dollar man. The only thing is you sounded like you ran a noise reduction and it got a little aggressive and took out too much upper end resulting in less clarity. In the end, I wanted to hear the rest of the episode.

In honor of our 50th episode, this week we're discussing Ian's favorite movie Children of Men, directed by Alfonso Cuaron in 2006, and the novel it was based on by P.D. James. We analyze what makes this film so unique while questioning some of the novel's more than questionable plot points (spoiler alert: we did not care for the novel).

YouTube In this episode: For a lot of people, YouTube pretty much is the internet. It’s the world’s second largest search engine (next to Google, obvs), so we wanted to discuss how we use YouTube, get some great channels out there to you guys, and also find out what you’re watching and how you use. What we actually watch on YouTube differs quite a bit. We initially thought it would be balanced, but it very much isn’t. Void uses YouTube as essentially a TV with all sorts of cool shows and creators he loves, while Beej sees it more as a novelty for one-off views. Beej doesn’t have much that he watches: VetRanch, Dr. PimplePopper, Woodworking for Mere Mortals, ObeseToBeast, RunSelfieRepeat, various funny puppy and kitty clips, CineFix, and catches up on clips of late-night shows or music videos. And really, that’s about it. Void, on the other hand, uses PLEX to stream YouTube to his TV where he follows various channels and creators like most people do their network sitcoms and police procedurals. Void’s YouTube Highlights (the occasional watches): Penny Arcade TV Dungeons & Dragons Nintendo Star Wars Waypoint Rocket Jump and Rocket Jump Film School Mark Brown’s Gamer Maker’s Toolkit and Boss Keys Chez Lindsay Vsauce Extra Credits (gaming videos, but not so much the history videos) NoClip with Danny O’Dwyer Tested.com (any of the videos with Adam Savage are great. The other ones… not so much.) Channels/Creators that Void watches absolutely everything they put out: Kurzgesagt Griffin Series on Polygon Shut Up & Sit Down Cool Ghosts Movies with Mikey CGP Grey Every Frame a Painting (Good places to start are Jackie Chan - How to do action Comedy, The Marvel Symphonic Universe, or Edgar Wright - How to do visual comedy) Geeky Offer of the Week Book Recommendation: Ahsoka by E.K.
