On this episode of Remainders we watch the 1997 political sci-fi movie Starship Troopers. Dismissed upon release as a generic action movie, time has been kind to this movie about fascism and soldier recruitment in a pro-war society. A militarized society in the future waging war against a sub-human alien species, Starship has gained cultural appreciation as a meta-film about wartime propaganda. A first-time viewing for one, we'll see if this is a dumb, fun movie or an indictment of fascism. Or both.Other topics include a David Lynch retrospective, the passing of Nikky Katt, new shows we're watching, and we ask the question: If a movie debuts and is only on streaming, does it really exist?Songs of the WeekFoolish Heart by The MavericksThe Baron by Johnny CashRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

Links to assorted local theater & book venues   David Thomson, Film Critic and Historian David Thomson, film critic and historian, discusses his book, “The Fatal Alliance: A Century of War on Film” with host Richard Wolinsky. Author of over forty books, most of which deal with film and film history, David Thomson here discusses how movies have influenced how our society sees and understands war. In the interview, he talks about how war films rarely focus on the reasons why individual wars are fought, the soldier mentality, the two World Wars on film, fascism and resistance on film, along with such films as Black Hawk Down, The Deer Hunter and A Man Escapes. Recorded a year ago, he also discusses fascism in the United States, and the nature of resistance. Special thanks to AJ Fox and Susan Oxtoby of Pacific Film Archive, where the interview was recorded.

On this episode we watch 2005's The Descent. A year after tragedy strikes, a group of friends discover something far worse in the deep caverns of the Appalachian Mountains. This spelunking splatter fest is a contender for many titles, including best horror movie of the 2000s, most objectionable thing to watch for anybody with even the slightest claustrophobia, and having maybe one of the worst best friends in all of horror movie history. Listen up as we also thoroughly debate the appropriate moniker of Vampire Bats vs. Crawlers in this modern horror classic.Other topics include reflecting on the recent loss of Val Kilmer, visiting with Jim Jarmusch, pivotal David Lynch L.A. landmarks, Days of the Dead Chicago, found footage influence in the early 2000s, and the 90s forgotten gem Rumpelstiltskin on 4K.Songs of the WeekFuck and Run by Liz PhairBy the Light of the Silvery Moon by Little RichardRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

After more than a decade of living in an entertainment golden age... Filled with more and better options, with less advertising, than ever before in human history... Are the good times over? Almost every major streaming service has recently begun inserting advertising into its programming. And it's NOT your imagination... the ads really are more disruptive and obnoxious than traditional television commercials. So what's driving the sudden advertising stampede in the streaming services that we used to love? How much worse is it going to get? And who in their right mind still thinks that intrusive advertising, inserted into something we'd rather be watching, is a way to win hearts and minds in the year 2025?

We began this episode talking about Joan Didion as a Hollywood figure and the importance of John Wayne, as well as her importance as a political writer with early strong conservative political views. Didion's portrayal of Hollywood and her lesser-known film criticism also came up for discussion, followed by a consideration of the work of the legendary film critic Pauline Kael and how Wilkinson, a film critic for The New York Times, decides what films to review or critique. Alyssa Wilkinson then spoke of what she views as the job of the film critic, and she spoke of her strong admiration for "Nickel Boys," which she called this year's best film. She and Krasny spoke of blockbusters, disaster and apocalyptic films, and Spielberg's "Jaws," and the larger question of the effect on our imaginations of the so-called Hollywood dream machine.Krasny and Wilkinson discussed villains and evil in contemporary films and Martin Scorsese's notion of too many films being like thrill rides and avoiding ordinary people and nuanced drama. They spoke, too, of the Oscars and discussed the history of the Oscars, and then went on to the impact of social media and streaming platforms and technology shifts and the question of misunderstood and too-long films and the tensions between art and commerce. They returned to Didion and her overall importance and concluded with a discussion of Wilkinson's view on faith and how she became a film critic and her film critic-filled Brooklyn neighborhood.

This is a celebration, not just another Director's Club episode for a reason. Back in 1990, I became an avid fan and follower of today's guest and he's been on this show a couple of times in the past, most recently for the Paul Thomas Anderson Part II episode. I'm talking of course about Nick Digilio.40 years ago, he began his career as a professional film critic, reviewing movies on Roy Leonard's radio show. It's also amazing to think that 40 years ago, I first fell in love with movies after seeing Back to the Future in 1985.Nick's 40th anniversary is a month away so I thought it would be great to relive the past, share some memories and even throw a couple of lists his way, including my biggest disagreements with him over the years and some titles I'm grateful to have discovered because of Nick too (one of which is obvious since it's the reason he became a favorite film critic of mine).In addition to the first 80 minutes of delightful conversation and reminiscing, we then talk for a half hour about a director he's always considered to be underrated: Kevin Reynolds. Find out why he feels that way and seek out a couple of under-seen works of his that I had the pleasure of discovering too.It's an honor and a pleasure to talk with Nick to celebrate all he's done and all he continues to do. If it weren't for him, my life might've gone in a different direction so I'm grateful for his time and all the support going back to 1997.00:00 - 04:34 - Introduction.04:35 - 33:23 - Celebrating 40 Years Of Nick.33:24 - 01:22:27 - Top 5 Disagreements / Discoveries.01:22:28 - 01:54:38 - Kevin Reynolds (Underrated Director).01:54:39 - 02:10:00 - Nick's Events / Surprise Flashback / Outro.Follow all-things Nick:https://www.nickdigilio.comhttps://www.classiccinemas.com/events/nicks-pix/137https://radiomisfits.com/podcasts/nickdpodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/c/NickDShowFollow all-things Jim:https://linktr.ee/jimlaczkowskihttps://directorsclub.substack.com Get full access to Director's Club at directorsclub.substack.com/subscribe
