Lewis Allen only gets one film in the Criterion Collection but it's a pretty fun one. The Uninvited (1944) doesn't have great special effects for a haunted house flick, or especially bad ones which can be fun in their own right, but it does have an over-complicated story about family lies, two ghosts who hate each other, a mean lesbian, and cinematography by Charles Lang Jr. And while the film is allegedly groundbreaking for approaching the haunted house genre with seriousness, it's also got some pretty great jokes (just not the ending one).

This week, Emilio, Madeline and Julian make good on something that has been in works for over two years - a conversation about the movies they gifted each other back in 2023!  To be specific, these were discs from The Criterion Collection, acquired during Barnes and Nobles summer 50% Criterion sale.  Madeline gifted Emilio 'House', Nobuhiko Obayashi's wild inventive horror/comedy from 1977.  Julian gifted Madeline 'Being John Malkovich', Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman's breakout film from 1999.  Emilio gifted Julian 'Ikiru' from 1952, Akira Kurosawa's influential meditation on life and imminent mortality.  The group gets a chance to talk spolier free about these three films, what motivated their decision to give what they did, some details and themes that stick out to them about each film, and what kind of cinephile would be ideal recipient of these films.  They also take a moment to reflect on their year in podcasting, and gift each other a new Criterion disc to discover in 2026!  Happy holidays listeners, thanks for a great year!If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.  This really helps us find new listeners and grow!Follow us on YouTube, IG and TikTok: @sleeplesscinematicpodSend us an email at sleeplesscinematicpod@gmail.comOn Letterboxd?

It's Die Hard in a diner! This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK we're discussing David Cronenberg's masterful 2005 film A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, a story that begins (and ends) with a DIE HARD-type scenario…and goes deep and hard on the consequences of surviving such an event. Mild mannered family man Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen) owns and runs a diner in the small, Norman Rockwellian town of Millbrook, Indiana, where he lives a quiet, happy life with his wife Edie (Maria Bello) and their two children, teenage son Jack (Ashton Holmes) and a young daughter Sarah (Heidi Hayes). However, Tom's seemingly idyllic existence is shattered when he thwarts an attempted robbery at the diner, killing two murderous criminals in the process. The local media laud Tom as a hero, and the subsequent press attention results in the appearance of sinister Philadelphia mobster Carl Fogarty (Ed Harris), who believes that “Tom Stall” is in fact “Joey Cusack” a fellow mobster from his past. As Fogerty and his henchmen begin threatening Tom and his family, much of the subsequent tension stems from the uncertainty as to who Tom really is…and what he intends to do about this escalating threat to those he loves. The guys discuss their favorite Cronenberg films and where this particular picture fits within the auteur's oeuvre. They talk about the myriad DIE HARD connections in the ‘DIE HARD DNA' section, discuss its various themes, its provocative presentation of violence and sex, and the remarkable performances. Awards are handed out in the ‘DIE HARD Oscars' and events culminate with the ‘Double Jeopardy' quiz! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_GSE_ZsUNwAt the time of release, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms!

Then it's time for Phillip and Rob to discuss this movie. They have a great discussion. Phillip and Rob then answer the question of whether they notice anything from this movie that Tarantino might have liked or used in a film. They then individually rate the movie. Then they answer the question of whether they would buy this movie, rent it, or find it for free. Phillip then gives his Phil's Film Favorite of the Week; Prime Cut (1972). Rob gives a couple of recommendations; Risky Business (1983) (Criterion Collection) and The Mummy (1932). Then Phillip promotes next week's show when he will be joined by his cousin Chip Reeves, the original co-host of the show, and they will be discussing Invasion U.S.A. from 1985.

If your documentary films were entered into the Criterion Collection, you barely need an introduction, but let me give one to my guest, filmmaker Brett Story, by saying this: her films expand what's possible through visual styling and extensive preparation work. What I mean by that is if you take a look at her work, the story that she is telling can only be said through film. So Brett gives us both something to appreciate and something to strive for. What a thrill it was to talk with her for the podcast.In this episode, Brett and I discuss:the future documentary on the 2025 NYC Mayoral race (not by her, unfortunately);how she came upon her unique style of documentary filmmaking;does she watch a lot of documentaries?her feelings towards her films entering the Criterion Collection and what that means about her art;whether the honors has made pitching projects easier;what about her work is particularly Canadian?how does she start her documentaries and her process for making her films;the visual attractiveness of her documentaries;the festival and release strategy for her films;how can someone with no name recognition make it into a big festival;her film, UNION, and the tradeoffs doc filmmakers have to make to get their films made;what's next for her (such an incredible next project, combining art + film, called PRODUCTION OF THE WORLD;Brett's Indie Film Highlights: THE IMAGE YOU MISSED (2018) dir. by Dónal Foreman; Deborah Stratman; Jem CohenLinks:The Criterion Channel - Brett StorySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

Movie of the Year: 1971WandaRediscovering Wanda (1971) – A Landmark of Feminist CinemaIn this episode of Movie of the Year, the Taste Buds—Mike, Ryan, and Greg—begin their deep dive into 1971 cinema with Barbara Loden's raw, groundbreaking film, Wanda. Once dismissed and now celebrated as a cornerstone of feminist filmmaking, Wanda (1971) captures the alienation and quiet rebellion of a woman trying to survive in a world that refuses to see her.For movie lovers and film historians alike, this episode explores how Wanda transformed independent film, redefined the female gaze, and challenged the capitalist structures of both life and art.The Character of Wanda: Feminism and Alienation in 1971 CinemaAt the heart of Wanda (1971) lies a protagonist unlike any other. Wanda Goronski, portrayed by Barbara Loden herself, is a woman out of step with the world around her—drifting through Pennsylvania coal country with little purpose, no plan, and even less hope.The Taste Buds explore how Wanda's detachment becomes a quiet act of resistance. She isn't empowered in the conventional sense, but her refusal to conform to the expectations of wifehood, motherhood, and labor gives her a radical presence. Her story asks: is true freedom even possible for someone like Wanda in a capitalist, patriarchal society?Barbara Loden's Direction and Legacy in WandaBarbara Loden—actor, writer, and director—crafted Wanda as an intensely personal response to the limitations placed on women in both Hollywood and everyday life. The Taste Buds examine how her minimalist style and vérité realism broke from the conventions of the era, situating Wanda as one of the earliest examples of American independent cinema's feminist movement.Shot on a shoestring budget with nonprofessional actors, Wanda captures authenticity without sentimentality. Loden's direction feels lived-in, intimate, and unsparing—her camera refuses to judge Wanda even as society does. The Taste Buds discuss how Loden's work paved the way for later filmmakers exploring identity, alienation, and the female experience.Feminism vs. Capitalism: The Political Core of WandaWanda (1971) isn't just a character study—it's a political statement. The Taste Buds unpack how the film critiques the intersections of feminism and capitalism, showing how both liberation and exploitation exist within the same system.For Wanda, the American Dream is a nightmare: men exploit her, work dehumanizes her, and freedom always comes with a price. The Taste Buds discuss how Wanda's raw honesty about poverty, gender, and survival resonates today, reflecting an America where independence remains conditional and fleeting.FAQ: Wanda (1971) on Movie of the YearWho directed Wanda (1971)?Barbara Loden wrote, directed, and starred in Wanda, making it a pioneering example of feminist independent cinema.Why is Wanda considered a feminist film?It rejects Hollywood's idealized portrayals of women, instead depicting a complex, flawed woman navigating systemic oppression and limited choices.Where can I watch Wanda (1971)?Wanda is available through the Criterion Collection and select streaming platforms dedicated to classic and independent cinema.Conclusion: Why Wanda Still MattersMore than fifty years later, Wanda (1971) endures as a defining work of feminist and independent filmmaking.

All three of his films mean a lot to us both so we opted to bypass the new format (which consists of two films per episode) to talk about his debut film, You Can Count On Me (newly released via Criterion Collection) then his remarkable follow-up Margaret, ending with the award-winning Manchester by the Sea.Much more to say overall about what happened during my hiatus up top but this conversation was perfect for my return after a lot of heavy, challenging, difficult circumstances affected me on a profound level.

This Is Spinal Tap ushered in a new wave of genre films with its satirical, mockumentary style. It is hailed as a classic, having found its way into the U.S. Library of Congress' National Film Registry. And if that isn't proof enough, the Criterion Collection is releasing a director-approved 4k restoration of the film. Now, over forty years later, the band is back together for one last show. Spinal Tap II: The End Continues finds bandmates David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls (all reprised roles by Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer) reuniting on stage after much time apart. Along with documentarian Marty DiBergi, the band tries to recapture the magic that was in the original This Is Spinal Tap. Today on FilmWeek, Larry Mantle is joined by Rob Reiner, co-writer and director of both films to talk about the legacy of the original This Is Spinal Tap for both film and music, and the unique task of continuing that legacy four decades later. SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES is in Wide Release and available in IMAX theaters. A Director-Approved 4K UHD edition of THIS IS SPINAL TAP will be released from the The Criterion Collection on Tuesday, September 16.

“That's the majesty of rock / The mystery of roll / The darning of the sock / The scoring of the goal / The farmer takes a wife / The barber takes a pole / We're in this together…and ever.” These lyrics ring as true today as they did back in 1992, when Spinal Tap penned them for their song “The Majesty of Rock,” from the classic album Break Like the Wind. Centering around the core trio of frontman David St. Hubbins, lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel, and bassist Derek Smalls, Spinal Tap have exerted a significant amount of musical force since the early '60s, when St. Hubbins and Tufnel first linked up as young rockers in the rough-and-tumble London neighborhood of Squatney. After trying on a few different styles and names—including The Originals, then the New Originals, then the Thamesmen—the group eventually settled into their now very-well-worn position as the elder statesmen of rock.  But now, after a long, peaceful silence, Spinal Tap is back with a new film, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, in theaters on September 12. With noted filmmaker Marty DiBergi returning to the director's chair, the movie follows the band as they prepare for a triumphant reunion concert, offering an intimate view of the Tap working through festering interpersonal conflicts, rehearsing material and potential new drummers, and dealing with interruptions from the likes of Paul McCartney and Elton John. As with all things Tap, there's more: on September 16, the Criterion Collection will release a new special edition of the 1984 classic This Is Spinal Tap. Film Comment Editor Clinton Krute spoke with St. Hubbins, Tufnel, Smalls, and DiBergi about the new movie, which the band hasn't seen yet, and the old one, which they hate. They also discussed their long careers in music and film, the influence of cinema on their chosen art of music (including formative encounters with “good violent Westerns” like Run of the Arrow and sci-fi fare like The Tingler), and much more.
