If there's anything you're bound to enjoy, it's a good fight movie! This doesn't have "FIGHT" in the title, but adopts the more measured and assured term "SELF-DEFENSE". Fighting shouldn't be encouraged or promoted, but looking after yourself should, respectfully.That brings us to Riley Stearns' 2019 black comedy THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE, which follows a "weak" man who gets beaten up, decides to learn to fight, and discovers his inner manliness.As dystopian as this world is presented, I do appreciate the idea of just being able to buy something that is generically named "DOG FOOD" to eliminate the time wasted in having to think about my choices.Before I bore you with how complicated my life is buying dog food, enjoy this film review.

The gang gets their dose of Dutch angles this week as they review The Third Man (1949) as the second entry for Detective June. While not starring Orson Welles, that seems to be the name and face most commonly attached to this film, in retrospect.

Marcia, Marcia, Marcia. Jan's lament was front, center and hilariously accentuated by a game cast in 1995's The Brady Bunch Movie. Thirty years ago, the film was loved by critics and audiences alike, as we witnessed The Bradys staying true to themselves during 1990's. But nowadays, where do the Bradys fit in? Are they awesomely anachronistic or just plain annoying? Are the impersonations of Carol, Marcia and Jan too good? And where's Tiger?

Welcome to our latest festival! This week we kick off our Peter Greenaway festival with his wild and rambunctious 1988 film, Drowning By Numbers. Watch out for those Cissie's! Three generations of women continue to have marriage troubles that are far too similar in this oversexed comedy that laughs at death. Wes Anderson owes this guy some royalties! Great conversation, enjoy!

Can men truly ever be friends? This is the question Jett Loe asks of his co-host, (and possible friend), Gareth Higgins on this, the 300th episode of The Film Talk. In this ep male friendship is discussed in the context of the new, excoriating satire from the makers of Succession, Mountainhead, and the hilarious Tim Robinson star-vehicle Friendship. Along the way Loe and Higgins reference poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, artist Joseph Beuys, the films Robocop and Starship Troopers and much more. Enjoy.

Paco and George watched the 2025 Matt Wolf two-part Paul Ruebens doc on HBO.This is prime Gen X imprinting, Paul Reubens' real life definitively laid out for the picking. The impish Reubens created his signature Pee-Wee Herman stage show as a cult Hollywood underground theater piece in 1981, but it didn't take much time for the world to catch on thanks to 1985's Pee-wee's Big Adventure, also the feature film debut of director Tim Burton. We talk about his comedy origins, the cultural impact of Pee-wee's Playhouse, and how Reubens blurred the line between persona and performer. Pee-wee Herman, the quirky, bow-tied man-child brought to life by Paul Reubens, revolutionized children's television and pop culture by refusing to fit into any traditional box. With Pee-wee's Playhouse, Reubens created a technicolor world that was as smart as it was silly—mixing slapstick, surrealism, and subversion with genuine warmth and creativity. The show wasn't just for kids; it was a layered, artful spectacle that celebrated difference, encouraged imagination, and featured a wildly diverse cast before that was common. Pee-wee became a cultural icon because he gave audiences permission to be weird, to laugh loud, and to embrace joy without irony. His influence can still be seen in everything from alt-comedy to design to how we talk about identity and play. Part review, part tribute, this episode is a celebration of a singular, subversive icon who never stopped being a kid at heart. A very private Reubens faces his own internal battles even while doing interviews with doc director Matt Wolf, right before his death in 2023. This two-part series is moving and joyous, but also heart-breaking look at the man who truly was "a loner, Dottie."George's article about the Pee-wee radio showMeeting Ric Heitzman at his gallery show closing.Paco's video for Sal & MitziSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Masie & Stuart arrive in a galaxy far far away to complete their tribunal of JJ Abram's by covering Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Unearthing over a decade of mixed (mostly negative) feelings about this sequel trilogy, our hosts find that while they are still compelled by the characters and their actors' performances, there are many early signs of the confused, aimless direction future sequel entries would take. Listen as our hosts discuss the film's awkward copy and pasting from the structure and character arcs of A New Hope and eventually devolve into a full dissection of the Walt Disney Corporation and it's many baffling executive and creative decisions with this trilogy.   Linktree: https://linktr.ee/cinema_bones Follow Us on Social Media @ Cinema_Bones on Instagram and Letterboxd for podcast updates.   Additional Reading/Sources: Jenny Nicholson's Star Wars Hotel Review Disney Plus Wrongful Death Lawsuit

This week we're back talking 1980s films and we're back talking David Lynch (!!) as Mark, Paul and I discuss the late director's classic film noir, 'Blue Velvet'. A film we love- I think this is one of the best of the decade TBH- but find scarily relatable. (I even get to break out the censor sound which I haven't done in quite some time.....)

Val Kilmer played Jim Morrison in 1991's The Doors to great acclaim but was, alas, snubbed by the Academy. People are strange, eh? Yes, the movie's release was attacked by fans and former band members of The Doors for its alleged inaccuracies and exaggerations. But now, years later, were movie audiences just riders on the storm of bad press? Upon rewatch, does the Oliver Stone movie provide some truth among the spectacle?

Welcome back to Foreplay! In this episode, we explore the third film in our Gene Hackman Arc: 'Unforgiven' (1992), directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. Join us as we discuss the intricate details, character portrayals, and thematic elements of this legendary Western. We'll delve into Gene Hackman's award-winning performance as Little Bill, the slow-burn storytelling, and the cinematic parallels that make 'Unforgiven' a timeless classic. We also touch on Richard Harris' memorable role as English Bob, Clint Eastwood as William Munny, the film's impact on the Western genre, and its cultural significance. Get ready for a deep dive into one of the greatest Westerns of all time!

This is a re-upload for Spotify of a conversation originally held in November of 2023. Hit Factory wishes to extend our deepest gratitude and reverence to the National Music Publishers' Association - tireless defenders of intellectual property, guardians of taste, and brave crusaders against independent podcasts that allegedly included a brief clip of copyrighted music within a previous version of this episode.  Journalist and writer Séamus Malekafzali returns to the program for a lengthy conversation about Martin Scorsese's 1995 crime epic 'Casino'. Initially viewed by critics and audiences as a retread of Scorsese's masterful crime saga 'Goodfellas', the film has since been reevaluated as a masterpiece in its own right - one enriched by the director's late period films and preoccupations.We discuss the film's dizzying construction, effectively evoking the glitz and glam of the Vegas strip through extended montages and voiceover (an effect masterfully rendered by Scorsese's deft hands as a director, a firecracker script with co-writer Nicholas Pileggi, and the brilliant editing of longtime Scorsese collaborator Thelma Schoonmaker). Then, we examine the brilliant, career-defining performance of Sharon Stone as Ginger McKenna. It's a role that deserves every possible accolade, and strikes a note that no one but Stone could conceivably achieve. Finally, we discuss the film as capitalist allegory, and how Scorsese thoughtfully weaves commentary on the corporate centralization of the American economy and its steady collapsing of the middle class.We also offer some thoughts on Scorsese's latest, 'Killers of the Flower Moon', and the evolution of the director's views on capitalism, corruption, and consequence.

Back in the 1970's in the United Kingdom, there was a sole female Director of a movie. It was an avant-garde, cinematic depiction of the person's stage work and a perfect example of "Panic" Cinema. That film is THE OTHER SIDE OF THE UNDERNEATH.It's a cinematic journey we could not take on our own so we brought back Josh and Kat of Uncomfortable Brunch to bring a bit of academia to the table. We also introduce a new segment that tests Josh's proclivities. In an episode that talks about everything but the film in question, we believe our thought process is accurate.Everything makes sense... eventually.

In this episode, the hosts of Outside the Cinema discuss the cult classic film 'Vamp', exploring its unique blend of horror and comedy, the all-star cast, and the impact of listener engagement on the show. They delve into the film's plot, character dynamics, and its cultural significance, drawing parallels with other films and emphasizing the importance of visual storytelling. In this conversation, the hosts delve into the film 'Vamp,' exploring its artistic expression, character dynamics, and the transition from comedy to horror. They discuss the unique presence of Grace Jones, the visual aesthetics of the film, and the performances of the actors. The conversation culminates in their recommendations and grades for the film, highlighting its campy nature and the impact of its middle section. In this conversation, Chris Bricklemyer and OTC Industries delve into the campy charm and flaws of the 1998 film 'Deep Rising.' They discuss the impact of 90s CGI on the horror genre, character dynamics, and performances, ultimately recommending the film for its entertaining qualities despite its shortcomings. The discussion transitions into a review of the 'Annabelle' film, highlighting the challenges of modern horror films and the importance of character development.

Arguably one of the best action franchises of all time comes to a presumed end with Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning. Somehow, the most divisive entry yet, Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise's latest attempt to save movies as champions of the analog finds Ethan Hunt once again fighting the rogue AI known as The Entity. Are its two barnburner stunt extravaganza's enough to stick the franchise's landing? Find out as we discuss our rankings, fan service, and the quest to preserve the moviegoing experience altogether.

"My mother told me never to do this." When are we going to listen to our moms, people? The 1986 cult classic, The Hitcher, not only put the fear of hitchhikers in us, but also the fear of cops, German Shepherds, and even french fries. Rutger Hauer and C. Thomas Howell share the front seat of this dark thrillride with more than one gross-out moment. But now, decades of defeated horror villains later, what's left to be afraid of? Is there any suspense to be had when you can just drive away? And are the cops in this movie more vicious than the hitchhiker? The Old Roommates thumb through it all with their middle-aged lens on high alert. Join them for a ... side-splitting conversation. Old Roommates can be reached via email at oldroommatespod@gmail.com.

In this episode- recorded back in the midst of the pandemic- Kieran and I discussed Robert Zemeckis' debut feature film, 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand'. This was a film we both enjoyed but certainly had issues with. So you can expect us to talk about the pros and cons of this film about a bunch of teens in 1964 going to New York to try and see The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. We also compare this to other films Zemeckis worked on from 1941 to the Back to the Future trilogy to Forest Gump and beyond! This episode originally aired on my sister show the SpielbergPod in early 2023.

In this episode- recorded a few weeks after the passing of visionary director David Lynch- Kieran and I discuss the artist's surreal debut film, 'Eraserhead', as well as reflecting on his career as a whole.
