Ep. 309: Jourdain Searles on Lurker, Mad Bills to Pay, Dead Lover, Together, By Design, Desert Fury Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. One of my absolute favorite critics working today is Jourdain Searles, a contributor to several publications (The Film Stage, Hollywood Reporter) and DVD/Blu-ray labels, but I also avidly read her X posts which offer a sharp running critique on films new and old. Searles joins the podcast to discuss a couple of big films screening in New Directors / New Films—Lurker (the Closing Night selection, directed by Alex Russell) and Mad Bills to Pay (Joel Alfonso Vargas)—and some other notable titles from Sundance like Dead Lover (Grace Glowicki), Together (Michael Shanks), and By Design (Amanda Kramer). Plus: the last film she saw at the time of recording: Desert Fury (1947, Lewis Allen). Please support the production of this podcast by signing up at: rapold.substack.com Photo by Steve Snodgrass

Aisha Harris, co-host of the NPR podcast Pop Culture Happy Hour, is a 90s girl. Her new book, Wannabe: Reckonings with the Pop Culture That Shapes Me, is a collection of nine essays about the pop culture she grew up with, how it shaped her, and how some cultural tropes were maybe more problematic than they seemed at the time. Harris joins us to reflect on how pop culture can influence how we see the world. Aisha Harris will also be in conversation with Jourdain Searles tonight for a book event at The Strand at 7:00.

They also had a tumultuous romantic partnership that culminated in a 19 month trial where Locke developed breast cancer. Locke, an Academy Award nominated actress, turned to directing in the late 80s, but was never able to achieve the notoriety she deserved because of her public falling out with Eastwood.Today on the podcast, we're looking back on their final collaboration together, the fourth entry in the "Dirty Harry" franchise, "Sudden Impact," as well as Locke's sophomore feature behind the camera, "Impulse." Critic and writer Jourdain Searles returns to the show for an in-depth conversation about the tragedy surrounding Locke's career and her mostly unseen directorial efforts.Why were we robbed of such a talented artist's future works? Was Sondra Locke the Polly Platt to Eastwood's Bogdanovich? How do reconcile an artist's off-screen behavior with their legendary career? What happens when Dirty Harry tackles rape culture? Why doesn't Theresa Russell work anymore? How the fuck do you pronounce George Dzundza's last name? Find out right now as we kick off our month-long descent into the seedy back alleys and underworlds of Vulgar Neo-Noir.

The "Mission: Impossible" series is the rare Hollywood franchise where each new film somehow manages to top the last. But in the year 2000, the series hit a slight critical bump when John Woo took over for Brian De Palma and delivered what is still the only Rotten entry in the lucrative franchise. Was it the early millennium nu-metal soundtrack featuring Limp Bizkit and Uncle Kracker? Was it the Oakley-sponsored lineup of tragic choices in eye-wear? Was it the slow motion Flamenco dance? The doves? The Iko-Iko remix?? Okay, granted some of these things are *not* great, but that's part of the film's endurance! Besides being the only certified Nu-Metal entry in the franchise, "Mission: Impossible II" is the only sequel that values vibes more than a twisty narrative, putting it more in line with Michael Mann's similarly maligned 2006 adaptation of "Miami Vice." We're joined by critic, comedian and co-host of the Bad Romance Podcast, Jourdain Searles, to unpack the sequel, as well as the rare on-screen chemistry Cruise shared with co-star Thandiwe Newton and why critics were not horny enough in the early 2000s. We also discuss important cultural topics like: Are British capable of being funny and when are we going to start sexualizing men the way we did in the 80s and 90s?

The slasher sub-genre was revitalized in 1996 with Wes Craven's “Scream,” ushering in a whole new era of self-aware slasher films steeped in irony. By the early 2000s though, the genre was on life support yet again. Today, we're taking a look back at some of the last of the WB-approved era of slasher films with two campy horror flicks that come so, so close to satirizing the genre as “Scream” did in the late 90s. First up, it's the return of podcast MVP Brittany Murphy in the 2000 cult favorite “Cherry Falls,” wherein the virginal teenagers in a tight-knit community are being preyed upon by a serial killer. After that, we're jumping to 2001 for the holiday themed revenge thriller “Valentine,” starring another podcast favorite, Denise Richards, as well as the first podcast appearance by our beloved “Angel” himself: David Boreanaz. Film critic, writer, and co-host of the Bad Romance Podcast, Jourdain Searles, joins us to discuss the compromised production of “Cherry Falls,” the legacy of Brittany Murphy, David Boreanaz's brief film career, and how Jay Mohr was ever a thing. “Cherry Falls” and “Valentine” are both available to rent or buy through Shout! Factory, while “Valentine” is also streaming on Tubi!
On this week's show, film critic and Bad Romance Podcast co-host, Jourdain Searles drops by to chat with the guys about the totally wild, ultra-horny thriller, Single White Female!

All good things must come to an end. After nine sweaty weeks of motiveless femme fatales, cucked husbands, cage fucking and nipple clamps, we're ready to say goodbye to our Erotic Thriller Summer. Thankfully, we can't think of a better film to go out on than Jane Campion's criminally underrated, misunderstood masterpiece, "In the Cut." Starring Meg Ryan in a role that was supposed to catapult her into more serious fare, along with an up and coming Mark Ruffalo in a rare performance as a scumbag, and returning podcast MVP Jennifer Jason Leigh, "In the Cut" is one of the most underrated films of the 21st century. We're joined by screenwriter, critic and co-host of Bad Romance Podcast, Jourdain Searles, to discuss this overlooked deconstruction of the infamous erotic thriller. "In the Cut" is available to stream on all your usual rental streaming apps.

It's that time of year again, where we put our spookiest foot forward and our horror history hats on. And since we're a podcast full of vampire fans, we thought we'd step out of our comfort zone and try out some of those werewolves we've heard so much about. This week we're joined by media critic Jourdain Searles to shine a light on the horror classic that was unfortunately overshadowed by An American Werewolf in London when it came out and makes stellar use of the werewolf as a metaphor for grappling with trauma.

Special Crossover Episode! Film Critics Bronwyn Isaac and Jourdain Searles of the Bad Romance podcast join Auntie Julia to discuss the fabulous movie "Obvious Child" staring Jenny Slate. One of the first and only movies to portray the choice to have an abortion without trauma, this is the perfect film to examine pop culture's handling of parenthood as choice. It's fun and cute with excellent character development and humor. Bronwyn and Jourdain have great insights and I highly recommend checking out their podcast Bad Romance for more fun film reviews!
