POPULARITY
The fiends gave each other a film to watch. This was the result. Today's discussion involves Maniac (1980), Greener Grass, and Fritz Lang's M. We kinda sorta hate movies.
Fritz Lang's M (1931) is the story of a child murderer (Peter Lorre) in Berlin during the last years of the Weimar Republic. When the police fail to capture the terror of Berlin it's up to the criminal underworld to do the job.

One of the great films made during the early transition from silent to sound, Fritz Lang's M is a movie that has aged well. On this episode we discuss the 1931 German serial killer thriller with Matthew Speredelozzi, a criminal defense attorney and actor. We discuss the film and it's technical achievements, but we also focus on the ethical issues of criminal defense, and the importance of finding the right balance between due process and our desire for vengeance in order to protect justice. Definitely listen all the way to the end, as Matthew discusses some recent trial work where he has helped get an innocent man a new chance at freedom.
Special Guests Stephen YoungkinGuest Co-Hosts: Samm Deighan, Daniel Bird In The Lost One (AKA Der Verlorene) (1951) we find Peter Lorre as Dr. Karl Rothe (AKA Dr. Karl Neumeister), working at a displaced persons camp after World War II. When a figure from his past, Hösch (AKA Nowak) (Karl John), appears at the camp the two men reminisce about their shared history during the war.The film is a tense film noir by way of the German trümmerfilm (rubble film) and the only feature directed by Peter Lorre.Daniel Bird and Samm Deighan join Mike to discuss The Lost One, Fritz Lang's M, and much more.Links:Buy The Lost One on DVD-RBuy The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre by Stephen D.

Yesterday (December 5th, 2016) was the 126th birthday of German director turned Hollywood Auteur, Fritz Lang. Today, we honor the legendary filmmaker with a discussion of his 1931 classic, M. Host, Lady P, is joined by co-producer, Martin Kessler, and Flixwise regular, Carrie Specht, to talk about Lang's disturbingly prescient tale about the dangers of mob rule and police overreach. The panel talks about how well the message of the film holds up to contemporary audiences, and whether or not it is worthy of the 56th spot on the Sight and Sound Greatest Films of All Time List. Then, in honor of Peter Lorre's Hans Beckert character, the panel delves in to a discussion about sympathetic villains. They talk about the ways in which a sympathetic villain differs from a charismatic villain, or an anti-hero. Plus, each panelist gives their Top 5 examples of the type.
In terms of genre, few films are as influential film as Fritz Lang's M. Where would The French Connection, LA Confidential and Se7en be without it? The post 233. M appeared first on Steven Benedict.

The group is annoyed with the upcoming Jumanji reboot. A preview of upcoming indie films takes place. The Scumbags Trivia segment returns. Fritz Lang's "M" is discussed as part of this week's first time watch segment.
Lee, Daniel and Paul are back this week to take a look at one of the least-disputed classics from the start of the talkies: Fritz Lang's "M" from 1931. A film with decades of scholarship and critical analysis behind it is a daunting task, but a fairly in-depth discussion is drawn from it, as well as the little-known 1951 American remake. They also discuss what they've watched, which spirals off into a few tangents, as usual. Featured Music: "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg.
