This week, we dive into Damien Chazelle's First Man and prematurely wind up our Fassbinder series with Ali: Fear Eats the Soul and Fox and His Friends. Bonus features: Taipei Story, The Conversation and more! Plus a VERY SPECIAL GUEST!
Hello and welcome to the very first episode of the Film & Loathing podcast! On our first episode we will be giving our review of Damien Chazelle's "First Man" (spoiler free) and also be discussing some other things we watched. Some other topics that came up were the current state of comedy, Spielberg and why does Tarantino get a free pass for stealing from other films? Enjoy! If you have any comments or feedback you can email us at filmandloathingpodcast@gmail.com or follow us on twitter! Thanks for listening! P.S. We apologize for some of the less-than-great audio, there were some technical difficulties in the editing and some audio was lost and had to be pieced together from our Skype call recording.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, the latest release from the Coen Brothers, was released on Netflix last week. Adam and Azeem discuss the film's virtues and pitfalls, and argue whether Damien Chazelle's First Man fulfils audience's high expectations.
The FMBoys are back and to make up for lost time the boys decide to cram in every notable film they saw in the week(s) since their last episode. There's something for everybody here; ranging from Maciej's bitter disappointment with Gareth Evan's Apostle (starts 5:10), Tobias' unforgiving scorn for Drew Goddard's Bad Times At The El Royale (starts 28:10), to both host's respectful ambivalence toward Damien Chazelle's First Man (starts 50:00). Next Week much to Tobias' chagrin we will be watching all 3 hours of Kevin Costner's The Postman. P.S. the audio on this episode was recorded over Discord with a terrible internet connection, so the quality and your mileage, may vary.
Damien Chazelle's 'First Man' is a riveting blend of suspense, heart, and politics that shows this country at its finest hour. We have different takes on where this film soars and where it comes short, but one thing we know for certain is that the flag controversy was... nonexistent.

In our latest episode we answer a lot of BIG questions. Does Jason Clarke's chin appear to be shot in 3-D even when it wasn't? Was the moon landing faked? Was this movie actually shot on the moon? We tell you all that and more in our review of Damien Chazelle's First Man. We also tell you about our awesome buffer zone in an IMAX theater and sick aisle seats, which for some reason people don't prefer to sitting in the center. We'll never understand why.

James Gunn trolls Disney by accepting a job writing, producing, and possibly directing Suicide Squad 2, the WGA decides that all screenwriters are equal unless you write cartoons in which case - no soup for you, and John Rambo puts an end to the debate over who drew first blood with a shiny new title. Plus we pit all four versions of A Star Is Born against each other in an Extreme Death Match in which there can only be one glorious victor. Then it's off to space with Ryan Gosling on the good ship Apollo with a feature review of Damien Chazelle's First Man, accompanied by Ron Howard's Apollo 13 in which Houston gets some very bad news.
We are jam-packed with movies this week: It is clearly that time of the year. The big release of the weekend is Damien Chazelle's "First Man," a look at Neil Armstrong and the moon landing. Grierson likes it, but Leitch LOVE it. We also dig into Paul Greengrass' "22 July," the Drew Goddard genre-hopper "Bad Times at the El Royale" and Maggie Gyllenhaal in "The Kindergarten Teacher." And Grierson solos on "Beautiful Boy," starring Timothee Chalamet and Steve Carell. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Review of Damien Chazelle's 'First Man' starring Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy
In this special Hamptons International Film Festival episode of RMR, Louis goes it alone as he reviews some of the very best films the festival had to offer, including Damien Chazelle's First Man, Yorgos Lanthimos' The Favourite, and Ben is Back! He also drops some weird stories about his time there.
Not many people with an interest in film have the direction to start pursuing sound at an early point in their career. It seems, rather, that through working on various projects they come to realize how powerful a tool sound really is and fall head over heels in love. If it's early enough in their career, there's plenty of work to be found and no turning back. For Milly Iatrou Morgan and Ai-Ling Lee, this was certainly the case. All it took was a simple choice followed by years of dedication to find their way as two of the biggest sound designers in the industry today. Their latest collaboration is Damien Chazelle's 'First Man', one of the biggest movies of the year in both popularity and scale. The film, which tells the story of Neil Armstrong's ascent to the moon, is densely layered with filmic tricks that when combined together create a wholly immersive experience for the audience. And while much fuss has been made over the project's expansive visuals, it would truly be nothing without the genius sound work of these two individuals. No Film School's Jon Fusco sat down with the pair at TIFF to discuss how they first decided to enter the business, gathering libraries of sound over the years and their collaboration in post with director and composer on what will surely go down in history as one of cinema's greatest space stories.
This week gave us the lineups of two of the fall's biggest festivals, Venice and Toronto. On this 66th Oscar podcast, I am joined by freelance film writer (you can find his work at Vanity Fair, Moviemaker magazine and more) and publications editor for the Sundance Film Festival, Daniel Joyaux. While these festival announcements always give us great intel on how studios are positioning their fall and winter awards releases, it's often the films that are missing that give us even bigger clues. Where are Bohemian Rhapsody, Boy Erased, Destroyer and Mary Queen of Scots? Some may show up at Telluride, others may be added to Toronto's lineup next month (there are still three Gala spots and 30 Special Presentation slots open). Venice will give us premieres of Damien Chazelle's First Man, while Toronto will world premiere Steve McQueen's Widows and If Beale Street Could Talk from Barry Jenkins. Alfonso Cuarón's Roma looks set to hit every major festival - Venice, Toronto, NYFF and Telluride. All eyes will be on the follow-ups of these Oscar-winning directors. The Cannes/Netflix kerfuffle earlier this summer proved to be the gain of both Venice and Toronto as each festival is flush with debuts from the streaming service. The Coen brothers' anthology series (which will apparently compete as a feature film for the Oscars) The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Paul Greengrass's 22 July and the final film from Orson Welles, The Other Side of the Wind are all set to kick off at Venice. I will be at the Toronto International Film Festival this year for the first time. Keep your eyes and ears open for more podcasts leading up to, at, and after TIFF. With music this podcast runs 1h 27m. Opening song: "Sulk" by TR/ST Closing song: "New York City by Day" by Thomas Newman from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of Desperately Seeking Susan
