Finally, Kenneth Branagh directs Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994), starring Robert De Niro as The Creature in a lavish, Shakespearean take on the timeless story.Whether you're a horror movie buff, a classic film fan, or just curious how Mary Shelley's Frankenstein keeps coming back to life on screen, this episode has you covered.❗️SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE ❗️Support the showSign up for our Patreon for exclusive Bonus Content.Follow the podcast on Instagram @gimmethreepodcastYou can keep up with Bella on Instagram @portraitofacinephile or Letterboxd You can keep up with Nick: on Instagram @nicholasybarra, on Twitter (X) @nicholaspybarra, or on LetterboxdShout out to contributor and producer Sonja Mereu.

Janicke Askevold unpacks her journey from shooting Together Alone with friends during COVID to premiering her new feature Solomamma at the Locarno Film Festival. The Norwegian actor-turned-director traces how a one-page pitch led to full Norwegian Film Institute backing and a 25-day Oslo shoot that balanced long summer daylight, short 8-hour workdays, and a five-year-old co-star.Solomamma follows Edith, a journalist and single mother who secretly seeks out her sperm donor - an encounter that evolves into love, deceit, and a search for self. Co-produced across Lithuania, Latvia, and Finland, with sound design by a collaborator of Ruben Östlund, the film examines modern solo motherhood in the wake of Norway's 2020 legalization of single-parent conception.Janicke's cinematic influences span Fritz Lang's expressionism, Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard, and Maren Ade's Toni Erdmann. On craft, she champions preparation, the power of casting chemistry tests that “made her cry,” and editing as the stage where “you can make a whole new film.”Her advice to young filmmakers: trust your instincts, start sooner, send the story out—and don't wait for permission.What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time. From bold proof of concept shorts to stand out new films lighting up the circuit, to overlooked features that deserve another look. Sponsored by the Past Present Feature podcast and Leica Camera.

In our latest tribute, Janet, John, (and Pen) celebrate the life and career of a very culturally edgy producer, screenwriter, and director of film, television, and opera who was closely identified with the "New Hollywood" movement of the 1970s... William Friedkin! Inspired by Citizen Cane as a child, he threw away his "bad boy" ways from high school and began his career in media by working for his local news station at 16, moving onto directing a live television series and docuseries, The People versus Paul Crump (1962). From there he went on to direct an episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour and then his first feature, Good Times (1967) staring Sonny Bono and Cher. Friedkin would go on to make a fantastic crime thriller, The French Connection (1971), which would then win him five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. He is also well known for his Academy Award nominated film The Exorcist (1973) and other films spanning multiple other genres like The Boys in the Band (1970), Sorcerer (1977), The Brink's Job (1978), Cruising (1980), To Live and Die in L.A. (1985. To learn more about this episode and others, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website!

Hello and welcome listeners to Episode 22 of JwaC Presents Depp Dive: A Depper Look into Johnny's Feature Filmography. Your host David Garrett Jr. is joined by his Co-Captain and wife, Jaime. For this episode, we're starting with a first time watch for both of us where David has seen the second film. First is Lucky Them (2013), where Johnny has a small cameo. The other is a sci-fi film that explores very real modern ideas in Transcendence (2014). Regardless, Depp takes on two of his more unique roles in this double feature. I hope you enjoy coming on this journey through Johnny's Feature Filmography.Time Codes:Intro: 0:00 - 5:55Lucky Them Trailer: 5:55 - 8:13Lucky Them Review: 8:13 - 23:16Transcendence Trailer: 23:16 - 25:47Transcendence Review: 25:47 - 46:51Social Media:Jaime's Instagram: jai.garrettEmail: journeywithacinephile@gmail.comWritten Reviews: https://horrorreview.webnode.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dgarrettjrTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/buckeyefrommichLetterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/davidosu/Instagram: davidosu87Threads: davidosu87Journey with a Cinephile Instagram: journeywithacinephileThe Night Club Discord: Journey with a Cinephile

It's time to close down your haunted curio shop, grab your anti-teacher assault pencil, and take a trip to the closest madness-mouth, because in this episode the crew welcomes back director David Weiner to the show to talk about his latest entry in CreatorVC's famous line of genre film documentaries, In Search of Darkness: 1994-1999! Pop this into your Talkboy as they have a fascinating chat on the process of putting together the most ambitious (and lengthy) horror retrospective yet, the decision to split the project into two films, what he thinks made the nineties stand out creatively as horror struggled to find its footing financially, and how the upcoming millennium stirred up old fears in audiences as it slowly introduced them to the scares to come.In Search of Darkness 95-99 on sale here: https://90shorrordoc.com?sca_ref=9729058.lIiOUEN8XdSnag yourself a copy and show your support!Also available is a double pack with 90-94: https://90shorrordoc.com/products/in-search-of-darkness-90s?sca_ref=9729058.lIiOUEN8Xd&sca_source=boxofficepulp.comWhile you're at it, pick up the CreatorVC digital filmography: https://90shorrordoc.com/products/digital-bundle-cvc-filmography?sca_ref=9729058.lIiOUEN8XdFind David and CreatorVC elsewhere on the internets:CreatorVC's Website: https://www.creatorvc.com/David on Twitter/X: https://x.com/tikiambassadorIn Search of Darkness on Twitter/X: https://x.com/80sHorrorDocIn Search of Darkness on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/80shorrordoc/In Search of Darkness on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/80sHorrorDocDavid on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itcamefromblog/David's blog: https://itcamefromblog.com/Check out the mega documentary SLASH TRASH by CreatorVC: https://slashertrashdoc.com?sca_ref=9729058.lIiOUEN8Xdhttps://www.boxofficepulp.com/Listen on Apple: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/appleListen on Spotify: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/spotifyListen on Amazon: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/amazonAll The OTHER Ways to Listen: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/listenFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/Follow on Twiter/X:

Mercedes Bryce Morgan unpacks the whirlwind making of Bone Lake, an 18-day Atlanta shoot that battled storms, injuries, and lost gear before completing its night-boat climax on a Los Angeles soundstage. After a Fantastic Fest premiere and Deadline-breaking international sales, the erotic survival thriller heads to U.S. theaters with buzzy audience reactions and a proudly “fun, commercial, popcorn” spirit.Mercedes traces her path from mini DV Star Wars shorts and USC to festival features, describing her taste as a mix of Oldboy's devastation and Amélie's heart. Other past influences include Barbarians, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, The House of Yes, Funny Games, and The One I Love. Her TIFF-premiering Fixation (2022) sparked her love for erotic thrillers.On craft, she argues the best twists are guessable seconds before they land, and test screenings help her fine-tune which parts of the mystery viewers might sense without solving it too soon. Her advice to young filmmakers: embrace constraints as boot camp, stick with collaborators who love the work, design for the audience experience, and make sure you enjoy the day-to-day… because the process is the life.What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

CUJO is a podcast about culture in the age of platforms. Episodes drop every other week, but if you want the full experience — including access to our CUJOPLEX Discord and our eternal parasocial friendship — we recommend signing up for a paid subscription.Paid subscribers also get access to The Weather Report, a new monthly episode series where we take stock of where the cultural winds are blowing and tell you what's rained into our brains. In the latest installment, cyberethnographer Ruby Justice Thelot joins us to wax philosophical about the Labubu craze, matcha and “performative male” discourse, and why politicians are lifting weights in public. To whet your appetite, we're lifting the paywall on the episode for the next 48 hours. It's easy to get the impression these days that the traditional media industry is abandoning cultural criticism. Over the past few months, outlets like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Chicago Tribune have been reassigning or letting go of veteran film, music, and theater critics, leaving some to debate what impact, if any, written criticism still has on the culture at large. Bucking this trend (and pretty much all mainstream media logic) is The Metrograph, a new biannual print magazine about cinema from the eponymous repertory theater in New York City's Chinatown. It's long, proudly niche, intentionally disconnected from the news cycle, and available only in print—with the goal of offering deep film fans an experience they won't be able to find online, while inviting a new generation of people into the culture. The recently released second issue includes a 42-page dive into Paul Morrissey's archives, author Gary Indiana's favorite films (RIP), a history of the Japanese pink film, a “cinemap” of Belgrade, and a comic about Jerry Lewis's infamous lost film The Day the Clown Cried. The cover, which we've cropped for this episode's artwork, features a painting by artist Louise Giovanelli inspired by Christina Ricci's character in Buffalo '66.Senior editor Annabel Brady-Brown (formerly of Australia's Fireflies Press) and editor-at-large Nick Pinkerton (film critic, screenwriter of The Sweet East, creator of the Substack Employee Picks, and a former coworker of Emilie's at Kim's Video) join us to discuss the past, present, and future of independent film criticism—and what it means to make a magazine for cinephiles in 2025. We also discuss why younger people in NYC seem to be gravitating back to the movies these days, and how the hyper-IRL, videostore-centric independent film culture of 20 years ago is a good template for what that might look like in the 2020s. Finally, we shout out some of the directors, movies, and micro publications that are making right now such an exciting time for cinema in NYC — and the repertory theaters and video stores we love around the world that are keeping the old Kim's Video spirit alive.Issue 2 of The Metrograph is out now. Buy it here, or at an independent book or magazine store near you.Read more by our guests:”Less rock, more talk: On Paul Morrissey, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Ezra Pound, ‘political' art, and 1988's ‘Spike of Bensonhurst'” by Nick Pinkerton (Employee Picks) “Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows: On the subversive pleasures of Agnès Varda‘s Le Bonheur” by Annabel Brady-Brown (The Metrograph) This is a public episode.
