POPULARITY
Kogonada. Ever heard of him? The South Korean-born American filmmaker began to get attention for his video essays that analyzed themes and motifs from various films and television series before launching as a writer/director with the film we are covering this week, Columbus (2017).The movie follows two people who are at a place in their lives where they need to make important decisions related to their family and their future. Jin (John Cho), the son of a renowned architect, comes to Columbus to see his father when he falls ill but is unsure how long he wants to stay and look after him. When he arrives in Columbus (Indiana) he meets and befriends Casey (Haley Lu Richardson), a young woman who is passionate about architecture but hesitant to leave Columbus to pursue her next steps because she feels compelled to stay and be there for her mother who is dealing with addiction issues. It's a beautiful film about space and structures, passion, familial responsibility, and how the relationships we have push us to be the best version of ourselves we can be.Joining us this week are Kogonada enthusiasts and long time podcasters Jen & Sarah from the Movies & Us and TV & Us podcasts!

Jen and Sarah from Movies and Us join Nicole Barlow and Ryan Pak to talk about Kogonada's 2017 directorial debut, Columbus. The film is intimate and captures smaller moments. Hammock's gorgeous ambient score is the perfect compliment to the visuals. Kogonada would follow up Columbus with 2021's After Yang and he would direct episodes of Disney Plus' Star Wars: Acoylte series.Chapters:00:00:00 Introducing Jen and Sarah and Columbus 00:06:34 Initial Thoughts on the Soundtrack00:12:41 Koganada's Journey to Columbus00:14:36 How Architecture and Space Play a role in the Film00:22:17 Hammock's Unorthodox Score00:27:22 Thoughts on Columbus 000:37:31 The Career of John Cho and the American Pie Connection 00:43:57 The Acting and the Legacy of the Film01:02:22 Thank Yous and GoodbyesFollow Movies and Us on Social Media:TwitterInstagramThreads: @moviesanduspodTikTok: @moviesanduspodWe would love it if you would join our Patreon membership, where you will get quarterly bonus episodes, early access to our regular episodes and more!

Get ready for the rise of Chloe East. She headlined 2016's Jessica Darling's It List, appeared in a number of episodes of Liv and Maddie, and was a series regular on both Kevin (Probably) Saves the World and the 2021 HBO Max series Generation, but the one-two punch of The Fabelmans and Heretic in the feature film realm will undoubtedly put East on the map in a wholly different way. In fact, it already has. She's got a number of highly anticipated projects on the horizon including Liz Feldman's new Netflix series No Good Deed, Kogonada's A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, and At the Sea starring Amy Adams.East was a scene-stealer in Steven Spielberg's Academy Award nominated feature playing Monica, Sammy's devoutly Christian (Gabriel LaBelle) girlfriend. However, it's Heretic that proves she's a true powerhouse in a leading role. She headlines alongside Sophie Thatcher as Sister Paxton and Sister Barnes, respective. They're two young missionaries making the rounds in suburban Colorado telling the locals about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Eventually, they knock on Hugh Grant's Mr. Reed's door. Little do they know, he's ready for them, and he's determined upend their beliefs in the church.With Heretic now playing in theaters nationwide, East joined me for a Collider Ladies Night chat to revisit her earliest inspirations, general love and knowledge of cinema, what it's been like finding her voice in Hollywood thus far, and pinpointing the pitch-perfect tone for her character in Heretic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

¡Despedimos The Acolyte, en La Fosa del Rancor! El Rancor da su último rugido esta temporada, con la despedida de la última serie de Star Wars en Disney+. Decimos adiós a la serie de Leasley Headland, con dos episodios muy diferentes entre sí, pero no por ello igual de disfrutables. El séptimo episodio «Elecciones», dirigido por quién ya dirigió el tercero, Kogonada, y el espectacular octavo episodio y final de temporada dirigido por Hanelle M. Culpepper, directora también del, para muchos inolvidable, sexto episodio de la temporada. Dos capítulos que forman una cierre satisfactorio de lo que esperamos que sea, la primera temporada de esta serie de Star Wars. El séptimo episodio de ‘The Acolyte', ha sido una vuelta a los hechos que vimos en el tercer episodio, con ese "efecto Rashomon", donde descubrimos la terrible verdad de lo sucedido en Brendok, el planeta origen de las protagonistas Mae y Osha. Mientras que en el octavo episodio, se resuelven algunos misterios de esta historia, descubrimos el destino del Maestro Sol y se siembran muchos elementos para una, más que probable, segunda temporada. En el programa de hoy comentaremos nuestras impresiones sobre estos dos episodios, qué nos ha parecido el desarrollo de la trama, debatiremos nuestras sensaciones generales de la serie y todas las referencias, que han sido muchas, al Universo Expandido y al canon actual. Y por supuesto debatiremos qué nos han parecido las apariciones de esos dos personajes de los que habla todo el mundo, que no por no esperados, han dejado de ser una sorpresa. También dedicaremos unos minutos ha hablar de lo próximo que viene de Star Wars, con la nueva serie de 'Skeleton Crew' y nuestros planes para nuestro próximo programa número 200. En este programa, hemos reunido a un comando Fosero de acólitos de excepción formado por: Paco Villa, Josemi, Chema Mansilla, Ferran Lloret y Ángel de Jorge. También queremos recordaros que podéis adquirir productos de La Fosa del Rancor, como sudaderas, camisetas, tazas o bolsas, en nuestra sección de La Tostadora. Una manera de colaborar con nosotros y formar parte, de una manera especial, de esta gran familia Fosera. Grabado en la noche del jueves 19-07-2024, montado y editado por Paco Villa. Un podcast hecho por fans para fans, que lo disfrutéis.

The film follows as a family has to deal with the aftermath of the breakdown of a beloved AI helper named Yang (Justin H. Min) who's an integral part of their family. The father, Jake (Colin Farrell) goes on a quest to get Yang fixed for his daughter Mika (Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja) who sees Yang as a brother. Along the way he discovers that Yang has had a very rich life and he and his wife Kyra (Jodie Turner-Smith), must make some hard choices about Yang and are forced to face the devastating loss. The film clocks in at 1 h 34 m and is rated PG. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.

Tonight MG takes on the first two films by indie director Kogonada - and while they couldn't be more different in terms of subject matter - one set in modern-day Indiana, the other set in a futuristic world and dealing with artificial intelligence - they are equally thoughtful, unusual stories. First up is Columbus, set in that unlikely architectural Mecca of the midwest, and stars John Cho in a career-best performance as a man dealing with his father's impending death. Next, we have After Yang, in which Colin Farrell wrestles with the meaning of memory in a beautifully sci-fi way!
With his first two films, 2017's "Columbus" and the new AFTER YANG, director Kogonada has established a meditative style of filmmaking that rewards close attention. "After Yang" takes place in a near-future that's populated by techno-sapiens, clones, and self-driving cars, but its characters struggle with all too familiar things like death, grief, and the meaning of life. In his conversation with the director, Adam asks about Kogonada's preoccupation with grieving, the quiet, non-confrontational style of his films, and the origins of "After Yang"'s thrilling title sequence. We also share a recent review of "Yang" from our sister podcast, The Next Picture Show, hosted by Tasha Robinson, Scott Tobias, Genevieve Koski, and Keith Phipps.

Kogonada's new AFTER YANG plays in many ways like a mirror to Steven Spielberg's misunderstood android epic A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE as it explores ideas about human nature through the experiences of an artificial being. It's also an unusually warm, thematically rich science-fiction film that opens up countless avenues of discussion, a few of which we travel down before bringing AFTER YANG into conversation with Spielberg's earlier model to consider these stories' shared features: a disrupted family unit, a journey of discovery, adoption ethics, and rumination on what it means to be human. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AFTER YANG, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net.

Kogonada's new science-fiction film AFTER YANG wrestles with the humanity of artificial beings, and their relationship to humanity, in a way that feels distinctly reminiscent of Steven Spielberg's 2001 feature A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Both films are highly sympathetic toward the android companions on which they center, but Spielberg's film, which began life as a Stanley Kubrick endeavor, has a more sour view of humanity… or does it? That's one of the main questions up for discussion this week as we delve into the complexities and contradictions of A.I., a film with no shortage of discussion points, many of which coalesce around the film's still-divisive ending. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about A.I., AFTER YANG, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net. We may respond to it on our Patreon (patreon.com/NextPictureShow), where you can also find bonus episodes, a weekly newsletter, recommendations, and more.

Chris sits down with cinema and media studies professor Dr. Veronica Paredes. They have a spoiler-filled conversation about Kogonada's latest film After Yang.

There have been some great films about the unanticipated complications of artificial intelligence: Spielberg's "A.I.," Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner," Alex Garland's "Ex Machina," Kubrick's "2001." And while AFTER YANG, about a malfunctioning "techno sapien," evokes all of them, it also - unlike those films - avoids exploiting those complications for conflict. Instead, director Kogonada chooses to focus his attention on his film's family of homo sapiens, and how an ailing robot causes all of them to consider what it means to be human. Adam and Josh agree that it's one of the best films of the year so far.

"After Yang" had its world premiere at last year's Cannes Film Festival, popped back up again at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and is now available to see in theaters and stream at home on Showtime. The follow-up to his 2017 feature debut "Columbus," Kogonada's profound sci-fi exploration of what it means to be human is a meticulously designed wonder which engages both intellectually and emotionally. He was kind enough to spend some time talking with me about his latest film, which you can listen to down below. Please take a listen and be sure to see this remarkable film. Thank you.
