Fritz Lang's Metropolis In 1927 Cinema was still in its relative infancy. Nearly eleven years earlier D.W. Griffith had established the "grammar of cinema" with his epic masterpiece, The Birth of a Nation. The subsequent decade would showcase spectacles (Ben-Hur, Intolerance), comedies (The Gold Rush, The General), and dramatic classics (Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, The Last Laugh). Cinematic Science Fiction would be attempted as early as 1902 with Melie's A Voyage to the Moon, however it would take nearly a quarter of a century for Sci-Fi to reveal its technical brilliance and possibilities with 1927s Fritz Lang masterpiece Metropolis. While an incredibly innovative, beautiful, and groundbreaking film, Lang's narrative (from a treatment and screenplay by his wife and artistic partner, Thea von Harbou), continues - or is the beginning - of the lazy and apologetic "White Savior" cinematic trope that has continued from Lawrence of Arabia thru Dances with Wolves, and most recently, Avatar and Dune. This week Mr. Chavez & I go back to the argument that we have made before and will continue to make regarding this insulting and problemtic cinematic trope. Each generation seems to want to tell its own version of this story without recognizing the inherent hypocrisy of a society and culture victimized by the elite while simultaneously needing to be saved by a blonde-haired, blue-eyed messiah (in this case a billionaire suddenly aware of his "mediator destiny" and responsibility to his "brothers"). Yes, we recognize the technical and production brilliance of this film, while at the same time being unable to ignore (or excuse) the obvious and insulting simplicity of its narrative. It is possible to simultaneoulsy admire and take issue with a work of art. Take a listen and ask yourself if you agree. Let us know what you think.

You may have noticed a trend on social media the past few years of people praising something as "absolute cinema." Wrestling seems to be no different, as internet cinephiles are quick to scream "absolute cinema" at Roman Reigns staring at Jey Uso or Seth Rollins making a face. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Paul Wedding will discuss some actual cinema, namely songs from movies. They could be songs made specifically for the movie's soundtrack, songs that are just in the movie and come from somewhere else, or film score. Artists played include Aimee Mann, Quincy Jones, Townes Van Zandt, Moby, Motörhead, Carly Simon, Roy Orbison, Geto Boys, and many more.

SPY vs SPY - How a MAD Magazine Comic Shaped Spy Cinema explores how a silent comic changed espionage storytelling forever. In this episode, we reveal why Spy vs. Spy matters more to spy movies than most audiences realize. This podcast episode from Cracking the Code of Spy Movies looks past punchlines. It uncovers influence, tone, and lasting ideas: Two identical spies, endless conflict, there are no winners. At first glance, Spy vs. Spy feels like pure comedy.  But beneath the humor lies a brutal truth.  There are explosions, traps, and sudden reversals.  All done with a comedic twist. Episode Focus This episode focuses on how Spy vs. Spy captured Cold War thinking. ·       Paranoia ruled every decision. ·       Escalation never stopped. ·       Trust disappeared completely.   We highlight how wordless storytelling shaped modern spy cinema. If you didn't know, there is no dialogue in Spy vs. Spy.  Also, there is no exposition: only action and consequence. This visual language now defines spy films. We recently released an episode examining how James Bond and his villains are mirrors of each other.  The episode also explores why mirrors matter in espionage stories. Listeners will hear how Spy vs. Spy predicted modern spy themes. How moral ambiguity replaced clear heroes. How technology became unreliable, and finally how victory became temporary. We also connect how Spy vs. Spy created lasting ideas that found their way into major spy franchises: James Bond, Jasone Bourne, Mission: Impossible, and modern Cold War thrillers. Rather than parody, Spy vs. Spy became a blueprint filmmakers still follow, often without realizing it. This episode is fast, focused, and insight‑driven. And it reveals how satire clarified espionage mechanics. If you love spy films, this is essential listening. If you study film storytelling, it's revealing. And if you enjoy uncovering hidden influence, it delivers. Episode Highlights ·       A comic strip predicted modern spy movie structure ·       Mirror logic that shaped heroes and villains alike ·       Silence reinforced visual spy storytelling ·       Escalation replaced resolution ·       Satire became the genre's blueprint This episode proves one thing clearly:  Spy vs. Spy understood espionage better than most movies ever did. Tell us what you think about our look at Spy vs. Spy Were you familiar with this comic strip series?  Had you seen the animated shorts?  Do you agree with our analysis? Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you think of this episode. Just drop us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.  The more we hear from you, the better the show will surely be!  We'll give you a shout-out in a future episode!   You can check out all our CRACKING THE CODE OF SPY MOVIES podcast episodes on your favorite podcast app or our website.

l⁠⁠⁠inktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠It's Pulp Cinema Month here at Catching Up On Cinema!All month long we'll be reviewing films the pulp action genre!This week, in a very special video edition of Catching Up On Cinema, Trevor is joined by his buddy Levi AKA Your Captain Speaking, to review Michael Anderson's, Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze (1975)!Trevor and Levi are both editors for the Red Cow Arcade YouTube channel, and can be found in the Red Cow Discord.

Celebrating Black History Month 2026 and this year we look back at Blaxploitation which is the film subgenre of action movie derived from the exploitation film genre that began in the 1960s and flourished throughout the early to mid 1970s, consequent to the combined cultural momentum of the black civil rights movement, the black power movement, and the Black Panther Party, political and sociological circumstances that facilitated black artists reclaiming their power of the representation of the black ethnic identity in the arts.Hosted on Ausha.

If the movies you're seeing lately feel like they were assembled by a committee rather than a creator, you're looking at the wrong side of the lens. We are dusting off a classic format today, leaning into the kind of raw film breakdowns we used to live for. The spotlight is on two heavyweights: Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme and Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another. Both of these pictures have just locked in Best Picture nominations for the 2026 Academy Awards, and it feels like a signal fire. After years of franchise fatigue and focus-tested safety, we are looking at a lineup that suggests great, uncompromising cinema is finally clawing its way back to the center of the frame. Fair warning: we aren't holding anything back here, so consider this a total spoiler warning. We are going deep into the structure, the endings, and the technical magic tricks that make these films work: from the anxiety-inducing rhythm of Safdie's 1950s ping pong subculture to Anderson's mastery of the long-lens Mojave car chase. This year's nominations feel like a turning point, a collective realization that the audience is hungry for movies that challenge them rather than just pat them on the back. It's a look at why the "cavalry isn't coming" for Hollywood, and why that might be the best news we've heard in decades for anyone who actually cares about the craft of visual storytelling. //links// Monstrous Moonshine > Marty Supreme Trailer > One Battle After Another Trailer > Original Ending of Marty Supreme >   This episode is sponsored by: Center Grid Virtual Studio Kitbash 3D (Use promocode "cggarage" for 10% off)

Our full review drops next week.We also dive into this week's random topic: Kanye West's public apology to fans following his past embrace of white supremacist ideology, and Nicki Minaj's sudden alignment with the Donald Trump MAGA movement. We break down why these moves feel like a betrayal to their Black and LGBTQ fan bases—and what it says about celebrity, power, and politics today.

Stephanie Ahn discusses Bedford Park, her Sundance U.S. Dramatic Competition debut about a Korean American woman in her 30s pulled back into her parents' home after her mother's car accident, where she meets the man responsible and an unexpected connection begins to form. Ahn shares why she needed to make this film, how growing up Korean American left her hungry for stories that felt real beyond familiar clichés, and why writing Bedford Park meant finally walking straight into something deeply autobiographical she avoided for years.She talks about choosing uncertainty over comfort and taking the scary road on purpose, stepping away from a stable editing career to pursue a story that wouldn't let go. Ahn reflects on journaling as a way into the script, years of rejection, and learning to be ruthless with her own material as the film evolved from a family drama into a more intimate relationship story. Rather than starting with a message, she describes how the film's themes revealed themselves over time, ultimately centering on human connection, being truly seen, and how that clarity reshapes self-understanding.Ahn walks through the long, practical build: seven years of persistence, financing that finally unlocked through relationships and Korean backing, and an unusually deep rehearsal process with actors that stretched across years before shooting in New Jersey. She reflects on editing as a brutal but clarifying search for truth alongside a trusted co-editor, and on the films she kept returning to for structure and inspiration, including A Separation, Secret Sunshine, Rust and Bone, Heat, and The Insider.What Movies Are You Watching?This episode is brought to you by BeastGrip.

The boys are back for 2026, and they are not easing into it gently. Born to Watch kicks off the new year with a full-blooded dive into one of the most aggressively 80s action films ever put on VHS shelves, Walter Hill's Extreme Prejudice (1987). Cowboy hats, cocaine, mercenaries, sweat, testosterone and a whole lot of unexplained shoulder shots, this one has it all. In this Extreme Prejudice (1987) Review, Whitey, Gow and Damo reunite as the A-team and take on a film that feels like The A-Team pilot collided head-on with a dusty Western, then detonated somewhere on the Texas–Mexico border. At the centre is Nick Nolte at peak brooding intensity, playing a stone-faced Texas Ranger chasing his childhood friend, now a drug-running psychopath in a pristine white suit, played with unhinged gusto by Powers Boothe.Directed by action legend Walter Hill, Extreme Prejudice is the kind of movie that barely pauses for breath. Secret military units officially declared dead, renegade majors, bank robberies, double-crosses, unnecessary nudity and a final act so chaotic it feels like an entire missing movie has been cut out, which, as the boys discover, is pretty much exactly what happened.The cast reads like an 80s action villain roll call. Michael Ironside growls his way through another morally questionable authority role, Clancy Brown looms menacingly, William Forsythe perfects the art of being deeply hateable, and a young Larry B Scott pops in an action film after Revenge of the Nerds turned him into a cult comedy icon. Add in Maria Conchita Alonso, singing badly on purpose, and you have a film bursting at the seams with characters who all look like they should be in different movies.As always, the boys break it down properly. Overs and unders are debated, including the uncomfortable realisation that Extreme Prejudice may make perfect sense if you're sixteen and not at all if you're over forty. There's deep discussion about whether Nick Nolte smiles even once in the entire film, spoiler, he does not, and whether anyone in the 80s understood centre-mass shooting.The Nut-Tuck-Yourself SAG Awards get a workout, with Nolte's pre-Prince of Tides physique under the microscope, and the Snorbs Report pops up exactly where you expect it to. Box office numbers are crunched, Walter Hill's career is put into context, and the boys try to work out how a film with this cast, this director and this level of explosive excess somehow lost money.Film School for F-Wits returns with a look at Hill's obsession with male-driven action cinema, while Hit, Sleeper and Dud for 1987 reminds everyone just how stacked that year really was, from Predator and Lethal Weapon to the absolute disaster that was Revenge of the Nerds II.Add in listener feedback, voicemail chaos, bird-related accusations, corn beef confessions, and a reminder that Born to Watch never takes movies, or itself, too seriously, and you've got the perfect way to start the year.This is sweat-soaked, ridiculous, deeply flawed 80s action cinema, and the boys wouldn't have it any other way.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs Extreme Prejudice peak 80s action excess, or just glorious nonsense?Does Nick Nolte smile even once in this movie?Is the final act pure chaos genius, or a missing half-hour of film?Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or at BornToWatch.com.auBorn to Watch, because some movies demand to be watched, argued over and mildly roasted.#BornToWatch #ExtremePrejudice #80sActionMovies #WalterHill #NickNolte #ActionMoviePodcast #CultAction #VHSClassics #MoviePodcast #80sCinema

Our women director miniseries continues with two VERY different movies from the 1950s. Muriel Box's "Eyewitness" is a fun, silly bit of pulp, while Kinuyo Tanaka's "Forever a Woman" (or its original title, "The Eternal Breasts") is a warm if dire look at female isolation in post-War Japan. Hosted by Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler, with guest Nina Chernik0:00 Introduction, 1:14 Eyewitness, 7:31 This Other Eden, 8:49 Forever a Woman#classicmovies #akirakurosawa #blackandwhite

In the second installment of our Surveillance Cinema series, we are joined by citizen journalist Travis Mateer for a discussion of Sneakers, a 1992 comedy heist thriller, directed by Phil Alden Robinson and starring Robert Redford and Ben Kingsley. Among the most conspiratorially significant films of all time, Sneakers is an overt vehicle for globalist views on information warfare, filled with limited hangouts, misdirection, and predictive programming. We get into the sus background of the director, writers, and much of the cast, also analyzing related films, such as Blindfold (1966), WarGames (1983), and Volunteers (1985).Travis's blog - https://zoomchron.com/If you enjoy Psyop Cinema, check out the Decoding Culture Foundation and Cultural Engineering Studies magazine - https://decoding-culture.com/print-copies/ - https://decoding-culture.com/publication/ - https://decoding-culture.com/https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://psyopcinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

There's a lot of anxiety about artificial intelligence invading Hollywood; the general mood there right now could be called “doom and gloom.” But speculation about a future where A.I. actors perform A.I. scripts in A.I.-generated movies often obscures the role A.I. is currently playing in the industry.In this episode, the host Michael Barbaro talks with the Hollywood reporter Brooks Barnes and the movie critic Alissa Wilkinson about the ways that A.I. is already showing up in our movies and television today, and how they see it contributing to — and complicating — the future. On Today's Episode:Alissa Wilkinson is a Times movie critic.Brooks Barnes is the chief Hollywood correspondent for The Times. Background Reading:Can You Believe the Documentary You're Watching?Disney Agrees to Bring Its Characters to OpenAI's Sora Videos‘The Wizard of Oz' Is Getting an A.I.
