Step right up, boils and ghouls, for a rather creepy episode of the Cut Print Film podcast. This week our cauldron is bubbling over, starting with a review of the new Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Thor: Ragnarok. Then we dust off an old classic and play our Halloween-themed AMAZON-A-THON game. Who will win? The listener, of course. And finally we continue our journey into the Alfred Hitchcock directors series with a discussion about his 1954 film Rear Window. Tune in OR ELSE!
Max and Chris are talking about the Toronto International Film Festival 2017 this week. That's right. This week John was not able to make it, but we have a guest! Chris Evangelista from Cut Print Film joined us for this episode. His work has appeared at /Film, Mashable, The Film Stage and more. They start by talking about the other film festivals currently going on including Venice and Telluride. They also discuss that Martin Scorsese's latest film, The Irishman, has begun production.

Save some room for movie (and TV) recommendations, because they're what's for dessert. 3:02 - Cut Print Film Mailbag 14:57 - The Matrix gets rebooted 25:19 - Rumble Fish 53:20 - Movie Recommendations

Two recent films came out that surprised us in very different ways. First up is Creed, the seventh installment in the Rocky franchise, and a film that did very little for us as far as the trailers were concerned. We discuss what makes it not just a great Rocky movie, but one of the best films of the year. Next is Alejandro González Iñárritu's new film The Revenant in which Leonardo DiCaprio may or may not be sexually assaulted by a bear (spoiler: he is not). With such high expectations, it's easy for a film to disappoint, but that disappointment rarely feels as painful as it does with The Revenant. We sink our teeth into the film's soft underbelly and rip it to pieces. Then it's time to wrap up our Billy Wilder Directors Series with a discussion about his 1960 classic dramedy The Apartment. And as always, we send you to bed (or work) with our latest movie recommendations. 2:16 - Creed 16:10 - The Revenant 33:10 - Cut Print Film Mailbag 37:36 - The Apartment 1:06:12 - Movie Recommendations Help us out!

Drafthouse Films is re-releasing the absolutely bonkers Roar this week and we discuss the wisdom of pairing trained human actors with untrained lions/wild killing machines. Also released this week was A24's new existential sci-fi feature, Ex Machina. The film stars newcomer Alicia Vikander as well as Cut Print Film heartthrob du jour, Oscar Isaac. We ponder the limits of humanity and ask, "Are we human or are we dancer?" The answer will shock everyone. Part two of our Akira Kurosawa Directors Series finds us talking about his endlessly influential action-adventure masterpiece Seven Samurai. Find out which one of us is a true warrior before we harvest our Weekly Movie Recommendations. 01:34 – Roar 07:18 - Ex Machina 20:31 - Seven Samurai 1:00:34 - Weekly Movie Recommendations
