Send us a textWelcome back to DMR!Sinners (2025) is a bold, genre-blending film that fuses supernatural horror with rich musical drama, all set in the haunting backdrop of 1930s Mississippi. Directed by Ryan Coogler, the movie follows twin brothers—played by Michael B. Jordan—who return to their hometown to open a juke joint and escape their violent pasts. What unfolds is a slow-burning, atmospheric story layered with blues, gospel, and soul music that doesn't just underscore the scenes—it drives the emotion and tension. The visuals are lush and haunting, and the story avoids cheap scares in favor of deeper psychological and cultural unease.What makes Sinners stand out is its emotional depth and originality. Instead of relying on franchise familiarity or overused horror tropes, it dives into themes of redemption, racial trauma, faith, and family legacy with sincerity and craft. Jordan delivers a nuanced dual performance, and the supporting cast brings authenticity to the story's gritty, soulful tone. Critically acclaimed and a box office hit, Sinners has earned major awards and resonated with audiences for being more than just a horror film—it's a powerful, character-driven experience that lingers long after the credits roll. This film has a near perfect score on RT from both the critics and audience. Also, the BIG NEWS, DMR is now part of the Audible Creators Program!

Tara shares her journey into the film industry, beginning with her graduate studies at USC and her passion for cinematography, where she captures the essence of storytelling through the lens. As she navigates the challenges of the film world, Tara opens up about her recent return to prose writing during the industry strikes, leading to her debut novel, It Will Last Longer, set for release on September 16, 2025. This literary work explores the life of a fine art photographer who inadvertently becomes embroiled in a crime scene, raising questions about morality and the pursuit of creative dreams. Tara also discusses her experiences writing for esteemed publications like American Cinematographer and her ongoing projects, including an independent feature film that delves into modern motherhood. Join us for a heartfelt conversation that encourages listeners to embrace their creative passions, persevere through challenges, and find fulfillment in their artistic journeys.

Friend of a Friend is the brilliant and inventive musical group powered by Claire Molek and Jason Savsani. Their third album, “Desire!,” came out earlier this year, and it’s moody, atmospheric, at-times unnerving, and gorgeous. I love it. They joined me outside Tacos El Tio in Oak Park (1115 Lake Street) for a conversation about their history, “Desire,” and the incredibly spooky place where the album was recorded. Befriend Friend of a Friend. I think you’re going to love them.

In this episode, Jez returns from the Gamescom 2025 floor and joins Berzerker to talk all things World of Warcraft: Midnight! Cinematic analysis, breakdowns of the new and updated zones, the new raids, interview updates with Ion Hazzikostas and Holly Longdale, and more, this episode is your one stop shop following the expansions big reveal. So plug this one in now, and subscribe today!#Warcraft

If you thought this week's show would be entirely about the new Midnight trailer and the information we're getting out of gamescom, you would be right. Site writer Rob Flanagan (who we all call Flan) joined Joe, Matt, and Liz to discuss the news, which included a heated discussion of Blood Elf lore, and whether we'll miss our ol Delving buddy Brann. It's a split house on almost every topic this week, so expect to explore a lot of different perspectives — with one notable exception. That sole exception was free transmog, which everyone was pumped at hearing, but unfortunately was reported a little hastily. You'll be able to assign certain outfits and hotswap to those outfits for free, and you'll be able to set conditional appearance swaps for free — like when you enter combat, or a rested area, for instance — but transmog is not full-on across the board free.Well, maybe we'll find something else to agree on as the expansion gets closer.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

This week we take you behind the scenes and give a full recap of our sold out Cowbell Championship Wrestling show. We then shift gears and countdown the top 7 cinematic matches of all time. We also have a huge announcement about our guests for next week show.

When Milwaukee Film rolls out one of their carefully curated series, it gives Dori and Kpolly a chance to do two things: Highlight a bunch of great movies around a particular theme. Rest their voices by bringing in a guest host. For the organization's monthly "Cinematic Sisterhood" run of films, they decided to go straight to the top. That's right, Milwaukee Film Executive Director Susan Kerns steps into the studio to give a very authoritative (but friendly!) perspective of the series made possible by a grant from the Women's Fund of Greater Milwaukee.Our trio of cinephiles talks about the programming that celebrates films directed by women, including the one coming up Aug. 23: The Queen of My Dreams from Fawzia Mirza, who took a creatively kinetic approach to telling a tale of mothers and daughters trying to connect. All three hosts already got their eyes on the 2023 movie and applied their respective seals of approval for the grounded story that finds a way to seamlessly stir in a heavy dose of fantasy.******Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Co.

I spoke with HoneyWeeWee, Sandi_, Humi, Quinnster, & Kiashi_GL about Silhouette of Memories as a part of my Raindance Immersive 2025 coverage. See more context in the rough transcript below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsgZm4u8UsU This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality

A paved over parking lot where there was once a home, a radio tower that once seemed tall enough to touch the sky, and memories that linger long after the years have passed. Invisible connections link Metropolis West, Cair Mallplex, and Glasshouse--and what's been left in each of them will have to be reckoned with. Trigger warnings for references to family death, grief, neglect, poverty, cults, diaspora, protests, police presence and police brutality (specific references to protest disruption tools), chase sequence, uncertainty (could be read as gaslighting.)

If you love movies like Friday the 13th Part 2 or Halloween, or you're curious about experimental storytelling in horror, you're going to want to hear this one.What You'll Hear in This Episode:

The relationship between the city and cinema is formidable. The images and sounds of the city found in movies are perhaps the only experience that many people will have of cities they may never visit. Films influence the way we construct images of the world, and accordingly, in many instances, how we operate within it. Cinematic Cairo: Egyptian Urban Modernity from Reel to Real offers a history of Cairo's urban modernity using film as the primary source of exploration, and cinematic space as both an analytical tool and a medium of critique. Cairo has provided rich subject material for Egypt's film industry since the inception of the art form at the end of the nineteenth century. The “reel” city—imagined, perceived, and experienced—provides the spatial domain that mirrors change and allows for an interrogation of the “real” city as it encountered modernity over the course of a century.Bringing together chapters by architects and art and literary historians, this volume explores this parallel and convergent relationship through two sections. The first uses films from the 1930s to the end of the twentieth century to illustrate the development of a modern Cairo and its modern subjects. The second section is focused on tracing the transformation of the cinematic city under conditions of neoliberalism, religious fundamentalism, and gender tensions. The result is a comprehensive narrative of the urban modernity of one of the most important cities in the Arab world and Global South. Learn more about your ad choices.

We're joined by award-winning Actor/Producer Blair Underwood and Director/Producer/Author Joe McClean to talk about their new novel, Sins of Survivors, written by Joe and presented by Blair. The book brings Black Bottom back to beautiful and sweeping life through the story of The Carter family. Fictional brothers Jasper and Ben whose heart wrenching journey brings them north to Detroit during the Great Migration. The Carters take root, raise families and bloom into neighborhood kingpins in a once vibrant, but redlined area that was bulldozed in the 1950s to put in a freeway.Joe unpacks how his deep research and a love of overlooked history shaped the Carter dynasty story in which two very different but fiercely loyal brothers face a shifting landscape and the rippling impact of their shared trauma on the next generation. Black Bottom, once a hub of Black resilience and ingenuity under strict and brutal segregation  becomes the perfect backdrop for a sweeping saga of survival and criminal enterprise.Blair shares how he chooses which projects to champion, he reflects on his own remarkable career (L.A. Law, Gattaca, Deep Impact, Sex and the City), and shares  his Obama related history! Joe ponders his personal approach when writing screenplays vs. novels and shares a powerful story connecting the haunting legacy of “Strange Fruit” to our current political moment.We also explore the hidden history of Detroit's underworld, from its prohibition-era bootlegging routes to the layered decades of Black Bottom's rise and fall under so-called “urban renewal.”Crime, family bonds and cultural touchstones coalesce in this tightly written work of fiction that reflects the real struggles of black experiences, painting a vivid portrait of a unique time and place in our shared American history.In recommendations--Weezy: Stick, Apple TV+ SeriesFritz: Movie, Sunday Best on NetflixPath Points of Interest:Sins of Survivors by Joe McClean and Blair UnderwoodSins of Survivors Audiobook PreviewJoe McClean on WikipediaJoe McClean on InstagramBlair Underwood on WikipediaBlair Underwood on IMDBBlair Underwood on InstagramStickSunday Best - NetflixMedia Path Podcast

On this episode we wanted to see a depiciton of people resisting fascim, so we're looking at an Robert Kramer's Ice (1970). It's our first American film in this series and the resistance we're seeing comes from a cell of New York Urban guerillas. They are fighting a dystopian version of the Nixon administration and its illegal war of imperialism in Mexico. Kramer's film is less a straightforward dystopia thriller than a raw document of the fractured leftist movements trying to organize within the belly of U.S. empire in the late 1960's. Kramer's handheld, on-location shooting style and use of non-actors offers a time capsule not just of American radicalism in 1970, but of filmmaking that rejects Hollywood polish for a Cassavetes style immediacy. Ice is uniquely embedded in the struggles it portrays; Kramer and his peers were activists themselves, not just chroniclers. The result is a film that forgoes easy allegory or procedural clarity and instead immerses viewers in the skepticism, paranoia, and possibility of revolutionary change at a time when history felt radically contingent.

For our final episode in this summer's Drive-In series, we review the film, "Hook," a cinematic endeavor released in 1991, which features the esteemed talents of Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman. We engage in a critical discourse regarding the film's unjust placement on the list of poorly rated movies, as evidenced by its subpar score on Rotten Tomatoes. Our examination delves into the narrative elements, character arcs, and thematic undercurrents that contribute to the film's enduring appeal, particularly in relation to the themes of nostalgia, familial bonds, and the importance of childlike wonder. As we explore our personal connections to the film, we articulate our perspectives on its merits and shortcomings, striving to ascertain whether its critical reception aligns with our own sentiments. Ultimately, we invite listeners to reflect on their interpretations of "Hook," as we navigate the complexities of nostalgia and cinematic critique in our discussion.The dialogue centers around the cinematic exploration of 'Hook,' a film that presents a reimagined narrative of Peter Pan, now portrayed as an adult grappling with the responsibilities of life. The hosts express their disbelief at the film's low Rotten Tomatoes rating, which they categorize as a profound injustice against a film that resonates deeply with themes of nostalgia and the complexities of adulthood. Their discussion unveils the intricate layers of the plot, which follows Peter's journey from a work-obsessed lawyer back to the world of Neverland, where he confronts the infamous Captain Hook, a character brought to life by the talented Dustin Hoffman.Throughout the podcast, the hosts engage in a reflective analysis of the film's thematic elements, particularly the dichotomy between childhood innocence and adult responsibilities. They underscore the importance of imagination and the loss of one's youthful spirit, positing that these concepts are pivotal to the film's narrative. The hosts also critique certain aspects of the film, such as its pacing and length, suggesting that a more concise structure could enhance its overall impact, yet they remain steadfast in their admiration for its emotional depth.In wrapping up their discourse, the hosts invite listeners to reassess 'Hook' not merely through the lens of critical reviews but as a profound exploration of the human experience. They emphasize the film's ability to evoke powerful emotions and provoke thought, ultimately urging audiences to embrace its messages about family, adventure, and the enduring power of imagination.Takeaways: The film 'Hook' explores the theme of rediscovering one's childhood and the importance of imagination, as Peter Pan learns to reconnect with his inner child. Critics have often dismissed 'Hook' as a failure, yet the film resonates deeply with audiences who appreciate its nostalgic value and emotional depth. The portrayal of Captain Hook in 'Hook' adds complexity to the character, showcasing his desire for revenge and reclamation of honor, rather than presenting him as a one-dimensional villain. Despite its low Rotten Tomatoes score, 'Hook' features strong performances, particularly by Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman, contributing to its enduring appeal and cultural significance. .We discuss all this and more in this one!

The politics of the James Bond franchise serve as a focal point for this episode, wherein Christian Ashley engages in a profound discussion with Brandon Knight about the intricate interplay of espionage and international relations depicted across the series. They delve into how the narratives reflect historical sentiments, particularly post-World War II, and how the portrayal of villains, often emblematic of contemporary political fears, has evolved over time. The conversation touches upon the characterization of Bond himself, exploring his role as a British agent navigating the moral complexities of his assignments while engaging with adversaries that symbolize broader ideological conflicts. We further examine the evolution of female characters within the franchise, considering both their historical representation and the attempts to foster more nuanced roles in recent installments. This episode not only illuminates the political undercurrents inherent in the franchise but also invites listeners to reflect critically on the implications of these portrayals in the context of modern geopolitics.The podcast episode presents a meticulous examination of the James Bond franchise through a political lens, inviting listeners to reflect on the nuanced relationship between popular culture and international relations. Hosted by Christian Ashley, featuring returning guest & former host, Brandon Knight, the discussion navigates the complexities of Bond's character as a representation of British values and the ideological battles that have defined global politics since World War II. The hosts delve into the origins of the franchise, exploring how the narrative of a suave British secret agent emerged in a post-war context, often serving as a response to the perceived threats posed by communism and other global adversaries.The conversation also scrutinizes the portrayal of villains within the Bond universe, analyzing how these characters embody the fears and anxieties of their respective historical moments. From the Cold War to the present day, the hosts discuss how the franchise has adapted to reflect contemporary geopolitical concerns, including the rise of terrorism and the complexities of modern warfare. Ashley and Knight encourage listeners to critically engage with these narratives, questioning the ethical implications of espionage and the glorification of violence that permeates the franchise.Furthermore, the episode addresses the evolution of gender representation within the Bond series, acknowledging the criticisms leveled against its treatment of female characters while recognizing strides made in recent films. Through this multifaceted discussion, the hosts invite audiences to contemplate the broader social and political messages embedded within the James Bond narrative, urging a deeper understanding of the interplay between entertainment and the realities of global politics.Takeaways: The James Bond franchise reflects the geopolitical landscape of its time, particularly during the Cold War. Ian Fleming's experiences as a World War II spy significantly influenced his portrayal of espionage and political themes. The evolution of female characters in the Bond films indicates a gradual shift towards more nuanced representations of women. The portrayal of villains in the Bond series has transitioned from clear-cut enemies to more complex adversaries over time. The discussion highlights the balance between entertainment and the portrayal of serious political issues in spy narratives. The franchise's ability to adapt to changing societal norms and expectations is crucial for its continued relevance. .We discuss all this and more in this one!

What does cinematic mean to you? Carlyn Hudson https://www.carlynhudson.com/ joins Matt and Oren fresh off completing her latest short, "Waffle".Is cinematic just a slick look? Is it about lighting? Or is it whatever Midjourney gives you when you ask for a cinematic style? It's always a party when these three are together, with lively discussion, interesting perspectives, and free thrown punches.

Listen Now to 120 Future Now Podcast Being the editor of the podcast, this week’s show is quite timely and  humorous, if I don’t say so myself..I do! Ido!  On the top of the news - Another interstellar object from who knows where, made of and containing who knows what? All we know is that it was forged in another star system, alien to ours. And then there is the massively intense flooding in Texas and the Midwest.  We present you with the findings of the comprehensive generalist and scientist Stefan Burns, and all the factors to consider in creating such disasterous weather..We, of course, share a few personal stories of relevance.. And then there is the Honda rocketship, a test by the company to see if they could do it. (looking good!). Dr. Future has some fun explaining how the cinematic language is key to communicating with the AI’s, and we end with a report on a strain of tomatoes that can revert thousands of generations with the twist of a gene! Why, why?? Enjoy!! Forbidden Fruit?
