The show returns from hiatus with the return of my dear friend and Movie Club all-star Jason Shawhan. We taped this in the afterglow of a New Beverly double-feature of the two films Goldie Hawn & Chevy Chase did together, Foul Play & Seems Like Old Times. We talk Barry Manilow, Billy Barty, Under The Rainbow, Stanley's stylish swingers pad, Billy Barty, San Francisco, nightmarish theme songs, Bette Midler, Tuesday Weld and the mystery of Chicken Pepperoni.
This month we discuss lesser known films from the 80s that pre-date more beloved and well known films. Join us as we discuss Eyes of Fire from 1983 ( that echoes Robert Eggers The Witch), Sole Survivor from 1983 (a haunting precursor to Final Destination), The Vindicator from 1986 (an accidental predictor of Robocop) and 1986's Witchboard (2014's Ouija owes it all to this one) Original Music and episode audio mastering by Beau Hitt.

Nashville's pre-eminent film critic, connoisseur & Prince devotee Jason Shawhan returns to Movie Club as we talk Prince's 2nd film UNDER THE CHERRY MOON. We get into Prince's ever-practical wardrobe choices, Jerome Benton's woefully short film career, the rather progressive queerness of the film, “Martin Scorsese's Pee Wee's Big Adventure”, Wendy & Lisa, The Linn LM-1 drum machine, Prince's proteges, Michael Ballhaus, smuggling pimento cheese across state lines, why this is Prince's finest film, Morris Day & The Time, the sheer awfulness of Graffiti Bridge, Kristin Scott-Thomas, Siskel & Ebert missing the point and our own mistakes of believing the received wisdom on this film - thus avoiding it - in younger days.

For our thirty-first episode, Jason Shawhan (Fearless Pretender podcast) joins the show for a discussion of the commentary and 4K release of the outstanding 1982 Dario Argento giallo “Tenebrae”. We talk about Argento's surprising narrative autocritique, a semi-futuristic Rome of empty spaces, unmotivated canine attacks, landmark crane shots, which closing credits work best, and so much more.Ryan's Recommendations: “The Bird with the Crystal Plumage” (1970), “Deep Red” (1975), and “Suspiria” (1977)For exclusive bonus content and early releases of every episode, join our Patreon and become an Official Minder: http://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcastTheme Music by: Bildschirm (bildschirm.bandcamp.com).

We have a compelling story to share about Tesla's Gigafactory in Texas, a production facility that is growing at a staggering rate. Jason Shawhan, Tesla's director of manufacturing at the factory, recently disclosed some eye-opening employment statistics at an industry event. At the end of last year, Tesla had over 12,000 employees at Gigafactory Texas. Fast-forward to this year, and the number has leapt to over 20,000, with projections to reach an astronomical 60,000 workers. This kind of employment growth is unparalleled, setting Tesla up to become the biggest employer in central Texas, outpacing even local favorite grocery chain, H-E-B.
I'm joined by Nashville's leading film critic, curator and connoisseur Jason Shawhan to discuss THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN. An overtly feminist, covertly queer cult classic from 1985 that deftly explores America's rampant classist bias, unbridled misogyny, protest movements dissolving into marketing opportunities, modern technology's role in amplifying voices of the devalued underclass, the benefits and dangers of our fame-obsessed world and so much more - all wrapped in a a shiny, gorgeously photographed container. Generally dismissed by critics and audiences alike upon initial release, THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN is a true cult classic, beloved by everyone who resonated with another gem of a film discovered by most viewers via home video and cable. Fabulous performances from Helen Slater, Peter Coyote, Keith Gordon, Dean Stockwell and Yeardly Smith (AKA the voice of Bart Simpson and a brilliant score (Pat Benetar's iconic "Invincible" was written expressly for BILLE JEAN and produced by our friend Mike Chapman), this movie's comment on America is as relevant today was it was upon original release .For more Jason Shawhan: https://x.com/jshawhan?s=21&t=2TXy7cSLOHZN-Ef4khov0A http://rebirthoftheflesh.blogspot.com/ Jason & Sam Inglis host FEARLESS PRETENDER- The Only Podcast That Provides Extensive Analysis of Every-Single Film & Television Show Featuring Jennifer Jason-Leigh. https://open.spotify.com/show/17u9DSmsiByQ56LijyERoo Here my guest spot on the episode devoted to the bizarro Rodney Dangerfield classic EASY MONEY https://open.spotify.com/episode/5WVJsIaVmRSx4HfxjtZvm1?si=IRopJVbdQYWytOJ4tWXIGg Participate in future Movie Clubs, support this show and make your life complete by heading to https://www.patreon.com/CraigAndFriends and signing up now!

JASON SHAWHAN (Nashville Scene) salutes the stars and stripes with us as we tackle the bombastic, jingoistic dad movie to end all dad movies, the 2019 movie you probably didn't even know was a Roland Emmerich movie, MIDWAY. It's a lot of bland white dudes (including Nick Jonas with a mustache) exercising their patriotism, and Mandy Moore just sort of 'there'. It's, surprisingly, more successful than you'd imagine.
Known for her burning intensity as an actress, JENNIFER JASON LEIGH feels like a proper 'first' for The Incinerator, seeing as how we've never inflicted this kind of damage on an individual before. Doing just that are SAM INGLIS (Hawke Talk Podcast) and JASON SHAWHAN (Nashville Scene), the two biggest JJL fans to ever JJL. They'll be guided, rewarded, and penalized the entire way by a super secret guest known only as "The Engineer". The players won't know who's causing them so much grief, and neither will you, till everything is said and done. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Our buddy JASON SHAWHAN (Nashville Scene) returns to the gravy to rank our individual Top 10 Films of 2022 (thus far). May has only just begun, but there have already been some true bangers in Q1 - between that fact and Jason's eclectic tastes, it should be a wild and friendly curation! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/movieswithgravy/support

Yeah, this one is melancholy as hell. I just had a birthday, so you know I talk about how much of a bitch it is getting old. I also get into that dumb-ass Houston doctor that Trump likes, all the people who recently passed away (including former presidential candidate/Godfather's Pizza founder Herman Cain), why Republicans insist on pissing off AOC and a nasty snack that's been floating around on Twitter. Later on, I have an equally downbeat talk with film critic (and upcoming birthday boy) Jason Shawhan about so many things: racism, depression, hot sauce, miniature golf, Revenge of the Nerds and, of course, titties. As for music, I play tunes by Teyana Taylor, Khruangbin & Leon Bridges, Stevie Wonder and Floetry featuring Sebastian Rogers. If you'd like to donate to the podcast, go here.
Alex Steed sits down film critic Jason Shawhan to discuss the Belcourt and Robert Altman's Nashville (and nine other films you should know).
This week's issue of the Scene is our annual Summer Guide, in which we point to the most enticing events going on this summer, and take a look at interesting folks from all over town. That includes artists, a drag queen and a very charismatic chef. But on this week's Scenecast, we talk about the 49th annual Nashville Film Festival, which takes place May 10-19 at Regal Hollywood 27. In the May 3 issue of the Scene, we picked out 25 interesting titles from this year's programming. We spoke to Nashville native Alex O Eaton about the world premiere of her debut feature 'Mountain Rest,' and we had a look at some of the festival's short-film programming. On this week's Scenecast, we speak to Jason Shawhan. If you know film in Nashville, you know Jason. He's a Scene contributor, a Belcourt employee, a Nashville Film Festival programmer and a self-described media prophet. He programs the festival's Graveyard Shift competition category. On this Scenecast, we talk to Jason about this year's Graveyard Shift films and a lot more. Fair warning: If you haven't yet seen 'Avengers: Infinity War,' there's some very lightly spoiler-y content from minute 21 to minute 23.
Depeche Mode, the British band that played a key role in shepherding synth pop into the mainstream, hasn’t visited Music City since an under-attended stop at Starwood Amphitheater in 1988. But they had no trouble selling out Ascend Amphitheater for Monday’s gig. Music editor Stephen Trageser sits down with two of the biggest DM fans we know — former music editor Adam Gold and longtime contributor Jason Shawhan — to explore the complexities of the band’s work.
On Tuesday, I spoke to Boston film critic Sean Burns. (Thanks tp all of you who listened, by the way.) Today, we'll be talking to an old college buddy of his, Nashville's very own Jason Shawhan. Also a fellow film critic (we both serve as contributing critics over at Nashville Scene), he and I touch on a number of film-related subjects. We discuss how me backing out of reviewing a certain film cemented his status at the Scene. We spend quite a bit of time discussing on-screen nudity (as well as come up with a new term for showing audiences the goods.) We also talk about Shawhan's life as both a critic and a gay man. And, somewhere down the line, we both agree that Jewel is a badass. Yeah, it was one of those nights.
