Podcast appearances and mentions of damon houx

All the President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute 115, I join semi-retired writer on the internet (formerly of Chud.com, ScreenCrave) and formidable film mind, Damon Houx. Damon and I discuss Woodstein's bluff game, the assumption of the audiences knowledge and strategising an elaborate game of tiddly winks for information. *About Damon Houx* Damon will try to dizzy you with his intellect, but--honestly--at worst you'll get mildly nauseous. *Twitter:* @houx ( https://twitter.com/houx ) Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

We come now to the point in which Doc finally meets his maker, in a manner of speaking—the crown prince of Palos Verdes, one Crocker Fenway. A wealthy elitist who lives a life of unusually high density and incoherence, raping and pillaging the American Fate for his own nefarious ends, Crocker is as close as we get to a Big Bad in Inherent Vice , and he’s the man who paid Doc his first buck on his first case… So what’s it mean to meet your god, and find out he’s a devil? Well… gosh … *About the Guest - DAMON HOUX* Damon will try to dizzy you with his intellect, but--honestly--at worst you'll get mildly nauseous.

Returning to The Return after two excruciating weeks off, Damon Houx joins Allie and Jeremy to talk about timelines, fan theories past and present, as well as just how many loops are being closed...and how many might be kept open...and why. Damon Houx previously appeared on Episode 22 of Fire Talk With Me.

Writer Damon Houx is finally rewarded for making himself scarce for the podcast’s entire run until now. Your reward is that Allie watched a David Lynch movie in addition to this episode, and she reveals more about her Lynchian music-making plans. Crack open a Pabst Blue Ribbon. Episode 21 (22 including The Pilot, or S02E14).

Returning guest Erik Childress of Film Threat, Efilmcritic, and The Chicago Film Critics Association joins us to talk about the incredibly innovative Robert Zemeckis.  We definitely touch upon some of his classic films later in the show but the main reviews we focus on are the more divisive choices, FORREST GUMP and his follow-up foray into science-fiction CONTACT.   In addition, Erik talks about A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD, Jim discusses WRONG, and Patrick reviews the classic SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS.0:00 – 7:59 – Introduction / In-house business 8:00 – 8:59 – What We Watched This Week Song 9:00 – 22:40 – What Erik Watched This Week 22:41 – 28:59 – What Jim Watched This Week 29:00 – 39:22  - What Patrick Watched This Week 39:23 – 40:23 – Robert Zemeckis Song 40:24 – 43:15 – Director Introduction 43:16 – 1:24:13 – Forrest Gump Review 1:24:14 – 2:11:11 – Contact Review 2:11:12 – 2:28:00 – Other Zemeckis Movies We Love 2:28:01 – 2:35:45 –  Top 3 Coen Brothers Films / Outro In two weeks, returning guest Damon Houx will be back to discuss John Cassavetes.  Please be sure to leave us a voicemail with your list to play on the show as well at 224-366-9528.

Damon Houx of ScreenCrush.com joins us to talk about the influential and original Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-wai. We briefly touch upon on his breakout film CHUNGKING EXPRESS (most of that discussion was lost due to technical difficulties) but the main film we focus on is the very beloved IN THE MOOD OF LOVE.  We definitely expand upon some more of his lesser known work as well.  In addition, Jim lept into Rian Johnson’s extremely entertaining LOOPER, Damon reviews the new sci-fi opus from Tom Tykwer and The Wachowski’s CLOUD ATLAS, and Patrick recently had a chance to see GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933 on the big screen.In a couple weeks we will be talking with our friend & guest columnist Gabe Powers about the prolific genre-hopping director Mario Bava!  Please be sure to leave us a voicemail to play on the show as well at 224-366-9528.

Jay Cheel of Film Junk, Kurt Halfyard of Row Three's Cinecast, and Zach Betonte of Film Jive join me in a quick 90-minute conversation about the two recently released films COMPLIANCE and THE IMPOSTER, both of which I think are two of the year's best.  I have a couple of reservations about the latter which are brought up, but most of the debates surround the former.  Overall you can expect a roundtable-style discussion as we examine two very interesting films that tackle true life stories about liars and manipulation.  COMPLIANCE fictionalizes a real-life event that is shocking and stranger than fiction, and for some, this fictionalized approach doesn’t entirely work.  THE IMPOSTER has been highly praised for its style and taut thriller-like execution (and rightfully so), and I mention a couple of things that lead to some questions surrounding documentary ethics and the way we perceive the events overall. For the most part, the conversation surrounds the idea of director intention and the way both stories are presented in distinctively challenging ways that spark some thought-provoking ideas about the way we watch movies based on true events.  Since I realize both of these films are in limited release at the moment, I will promote this episode again once these two titles are out on DVD & Blu-Ray so you can listen to the discussion and maybe send us your thoughts/comments once you've had a chance to catch up with these movies, and I really hope that you do .  Both of these movies are conversation-stimulators in the best way, and I couldn't have been happier that these three guests complied and came on the show for a lively bit of rambling.  We will return to the regular format next week with Patrick as well, when guest Damon Houx joins us to talk about the great Wong Kar-Wai.  - JimEmail us:  directorsclubpodcast@gmail.comWebsite:  http://directorsclubpodcast.com

Troy Anderson joins us to talk about our very first animated filmmaker, the audacious and highly original Ralph Bakshi. We mainly focus on his adaptation of THE LORD OF THE RINGS as well as his unique look back at American history with AMERICAN POP, but we definitely touch upon some more of his lesser known work as well.  Towards the end, we realize that a 2nd episode may come into fruition in the future simply because there's a lot to be said about this incredibly unique artist.  In addition, Jim had time to take a stroll with Mike Birbiglia's rather charming SLEEPWALK WITH ME, Troy discusses BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS PART ONE and SWEET KILL, while Patrick takes a look at an animated short entitled DISKJOCKEY, which is linked in the show notes. In a couple weeks we will be talking with Damon Houx about the great Wong Kar-Wai.  The two films we will be focusing on CHUNGKING EXPRESS and IN THE MOOD OF LOVE so feel free to watch them before the show and send us your thoughts.  Please be sure to leave us a voicemail to play on the show at 224-366-9528.
