This week, we're tearing up the baseboards and getting funky on the saxophone as Gene HackMarch rolls on with a Coppola classic surveillance thriller that he snuck in between Godfathers. It's 1974's The Conversation, written, directed and produced by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Gene Hackman, John Cazale, Harrison Ford, Allen Garfield, Cindy Williams, Frederic Forrest, Teri Garr and Robert Duvall. Needless to say, Hackman is terrific at the heart of an essential 70s paranoid thriller -- though is it really paranoia if you know your fears are true? His Harry Caul is a meticulous professional, a cunning and inventive man who is very good at his work having to reckon with the evil that work may bring in to the world. And can even the best spies really tell good from bad when they only have a piece of the picture? It's a great movie, and a first time watch for both hosts. Plus: J Mo's been to the theatre so we've got a full discussion of Mickey 17, and Hayley's finally captured her great white whale VHS tape. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening to our discussion, The Conversation is currently streaming on Criterion Channel at the time of publication (and can also be found in full for free on YouTube). Other works discussed on this episode include E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial, When Harry Met Sally..., MouseHunt, Sneakers, Runaway Jury, Enemy of the State, Kraven the Hunter, Madame Web, Morbius, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Outsiders, Megalopolis, Dog Day Afternoon, Practical Magic, The Lives of Others, and a last minute Corrections Corner on Crimson Tide. We'll be back next week to close out Gene HackMarch with our monthly canon consideration, as this month we induct The Royal Tenenbaums into the hallowed halls of the pod-canon. It is currently streaming on Disney+, Crave, and Starz. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
The crew takes on Maus, Art Spiegelman's powerful graphic novel about survival, trauma, and family. Along the way, we get sidetracked by Mouse Hunt, Weird Al, and some questionable improv. We also dig into the importance of reading controversial books, the rise of graphic novels, and how humor can (sometimes) help us process tough topics.

1997's Mouse Hunt. I don't think we're dealing with an ordinary movie. This episode we discuss the Nathan Lane physical comedy Mouse Hunt with all its mouse trappings. Will something from such an innocent time in our lives prove comforting (even if its housing and job security issues sting a little now), or will we find that a movie without social consciousness... is chaos?

Join Josh, Jason, and Adam as they discuss how hunting is portrayed in movies. The hosts talk about how hunting can be a metaphor for power and how it is often used as a way to show that a character is upper class. They also discuss how the social strata of the hunter is often reflected by the prey they select.After the hunting discussion, Jason leads a review of The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter. This 2018 Netflix film stars Josh Brolin as Buck Ferguson, a famous hunter who takes his son, Jaden, on his first deer hunting trip. Danny McBride plays Buck's cameraman, Don, and Montana Jordan plays Jaden.If you're a fan of Danny McBride, you'll enjoy The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter. If you're not a fan, you might not like it. It's a niche film that will appeal to certain audiences. The guys also talk about The Deer Hunter, and The Most Dangerous Game, and Mousehunt

Join Michael and Jacob as they continue their cinematic journey through the movies of 1997. In this episode of Hit Rewind, they dive deep into a variety of films that defined the year, from slapstick comedies to powerful dramas. First up, they discuss the darkly humorous "Mouse Hunt," Gore Verbinski's directorial debut that combines slapstick comedy with macabre elements. Next, they explore the emotional depths of "Good Will Hunting," a film that earned Robin Williams a well-deserved Oscar and showcased the writing talents of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. The conversation then shifts to the sci-fi comedy "Men in Black," where Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones fight extraterrestrial threats with a mix of humor and action. Following that, they delve into "In & Out," a groundbreaking comedy about a small-town teacher who is outed by a former student, featuring stellar performances by Kevin Kline and Joan Cusack. Finally, they wrap up with "Boogie Nights," Paul Thomas Anderson's critically acclaimed exploration of the adult film industry in the 1970s and 80s. With an ensemble cast including Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, and Burt Reynolds, this film offers a poignant look at the rise and fall of its characters. Tune in for an engaging discussion filled with insights, nostalgia, and a touch of humor!

It's time for more personal picks from your hosts and James has landed on one fairly lost to time Mouse Hunt (1997). Before Gore Verbinski was documenting pirates in the Caribbean, he was making his debut feature with Nathan Lane and Lee Evans about a pesky mouse that won't go away. Down-on-their luck brothers, Lars and Ernie Smuntz, aren't happy with the crumbling old mansion they inherit… until they discover the estate is worth millions. Before they can cash in, they have to rid the house of its single, stubborn occupant—a tiny and tenacious mouse. (Sourced from Letterboxd). Will this film that distressed young James still have the same effect today? Will Cass and Matt enjoy the slapstick shenanigans or is this a childhood watch that should remain forgotten? Also featuring an in-depth discussion of the new film Challengers, the song J was trying to reference was the "yeah yeah yeah" one but he forgot words.

This week we end November with a trio of movies that make us feel good. What happens when the world's most beautiful girl marries the world's most handsomest prince- and he turns out to be a real piece of shit? A tale of True Love, high adventure, miracles, fencing, giants, and torture. Rob Reiner's film based on William Goldman's adaption of S. Morgenstern's history of his native Florin, The Princess Bride. What happens when a once rich string magnate leaves his sons nothing but a rundown factory, a more rundown house with a loan taken against it, and a box of cigars infested with roaches? A tale of bad reversals of fortune, psychological warfare, predator and prey games, and torture. Gore Verbinski's feature debut, Mouse Hunt. What happens when a pair of stoner buddies, both of second generation Americans of Asian decent, get a bad case of the munchies and their most desired choice closed the nearest location four years ago? A tale of what should have been a short trip turned into an epic trip across just a few miles of highway, with helpful if boiled mechanics, fallen television heroes, extreme sports enthusiasts, dreams of small square hamburgers, and, of course, torture. The first of a wildly popular cult trilogy, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (aka Harold & Kumar Get the Munchies in the UK). All that and Tyler tried to revive the hat buckle, Kevin might not get the assignment, Dave makes a room inventory, and Craig just doesn't feel the love like he should. Join us, won't you?

Chick flick? Action film? Disaster Film? Drama? Soft porn? This movie is truly everything, and even the humor throughout truly do land, for me, at least. After my high school years when I finally grew up, I was able to freely admit that Titanic is not only one of the greatest films ever made, but also one of my all time favorite films. My top 10 can change on a daily basis, but usually, this one stays up there pretty consistently. I'll never forget when this movie hit theaters at the end of 1997. My sister was either visiting from college or was about to go off to San Diego in the spring. I was in junior high and she had her own life, so the family wasn't together much in those days because, well, that's how it happens when you start to build your own social groups. That whole week leading up to our showtime at Regal Edwards Stadium in Valencia, CA. The memory is so close to me I can reach out and just about touch it. We might have grabbed dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Don Cuco's first. But I remember it was night as it was mid-December and the streets lights were lined with Christmas lights and Christmas wreaths. So I was already pumped full of excitement for Christmas just around the corner, but I think I might have been more excited for Titanic. All week I'd been glued to the news watching live interviews of people walking out of the film, absolutely praising it to high heaven. Women were in tears, teenagers were glowing, young boys were hooping and hollering. The world was right because the Titanic was once again afloat majestically on the sea of the silver screens across the world. Jack Dawson was alive forever, no matter what the movie tried to tell us about his fate. I remember all four of us in our gold Toyota minivan, those vans that looked like an Orca whale, I always thought. My dad, at one point early on the trip, exclaimed like the captain of a ship: "Ahoy! Away we go!" My sister rolled her eyes, I giggled with excitement. I may have been growing out of childish things, but I would never grow out of the thrill of a new movie that was about to change the world. Granted, I didn't know James Cameron going into Titanic. I wasn't yet aware of Leonardo DiCaprio or Kate Winslet or even Kathy Bates of Billy Zane. This was a totally new cast to me. It was akin to a monster movie anyway, you show up for the monster, not the actors. The monster in Titanic, of course, was a gentle giant gliding though the Atlantic like battle-ready seraph seeking to bring all onboard to the safety of the New York port. I just wanted to get to the safety of the movie theater, my butt planted, my bladder empty, and a ship-shaped box of popcorn in my lap that would likely be eaten before the final preview ended twenty-five minutes after the lights dimmed. The movie happened, and thought I don't know the names of everyone in that crowded theater, I can tell you that no one was the same that night. Titanic wasn't a mere movie to kill 90 minutes with like Mouse Hunt playing for the kids and poor parents next door. Jack Nicholson was yucking it up with racial slurs in As Good As It Gets in the theater across the hall. For those who got to the box office after the last Titanic ticket sold out, Spielberg's ship movie Ammistad was playing as another sea voyage option. Pierce Brosnan was shooting it up in his second Bond outing at the time Titanic was in theaters in Tomorrow Never Dies. Hollywood never looked better than 1996 and 1997, and we were still in for plenty of surprises in 1998. Quality would Peter off in 1999 and then for the next decade or so moving forward. But for now, life - at least life through the big screen - was good. And now, 26 years later, I've been making it a point to watch Titanic annually for the last few years, because it's too good of a movie to just let slip through your fingers. I'm not sure how many people out there love it as much as I do. Sure, the CGI people on the wide shots of the ship's deck are super obvious, but that can easily be overlooked because the script, as simple of a love story as it is, is so tightly written and the characters are so engaging (perhaps because you know their fate going into the film). You may not realize it, but James Horner's score does to this movie what John Williams' does to Star Wars: It elevates a great film to an excellent film. The Southampton track alone is enough to rival E.T. and Jurassic Park. And yeah, it was overplayed in the late 90's, but you've got to admit, when you hear Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On," your mind is taken instantly to snapshots of this film. That's what a great feature song is supposed to do. I hadn't seen Aliens or Terminator 2 when I first saw Titanic. These are earlier films directed by James Cameron. These are movies I finally got to experience as an older teenager. Sure, I'd seen the motor bike chase scene in the wash a bunch of times on TV, but the commercials would come on and force my hand to change the channel back to Fresh Prince. Aliens and T2, of course, are both classic movies whose appeal to older teens and sci-fi/horror buffs will never die. So of course I was excited to see Avatar after Cameron came out of hibernation, but that movie disappointed me so bad that my viewing party unanimously agreed to turn it off with about 40 minutes left to go (and this was after speeding it up several times). Most people who like Avatar really only like it because of the visual effects. I'm sorry, but the visual effects have never been enough for me to keep me invested in what I paid for - the story and characters. No amount of crayons and digital paintings can keep me watching if the story sucks. If I wanted to watch pretty pictures move around I'd go to an art gallery and have my kids run around with the paintings. I haven't seen Kate Winslet in many other things other than Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and admittedly I need to go back and re-watch that film since I don't remember it much - I guess it's become spotless in my mind. But I'll focus here on the other lead. I've since gained much respect for our dear Leonardo DiCaprio. He did this and Romeo + Juliet (a film you couldn't pay me to watch), and like a college kid exploring drugs, he did it and moved on. He moved on from the pretty-boy image to more serious, grown-up rolls. I first took notice of his range and ability in the masterpiece Catch Me If You Can. From there he went on to do The Departed, The Revenant, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, just to name a few standout films. You can tell Leo is still earning his acting legs in Titanic, but he really does keep up with his more experienced ensemble here. I mean, holding the stage with the great Kathy Bates cannot be an easy task by any stretch of the imagination. I don't have time to go into every actor's role here, but let's just say, everyone is at their best here. And I've heard that many people are annoyed when Billy Zane is chasing Jack and Rose down through the lobby of the sinking ship shooting at them with a pistol, but I loved that extra bit of tension. It shows just how deranged and vengeful he is, that he's not content to leave their fate up to the unforgiving ocean. He has to kill Jack himself, even at the cost of his own life. That's what I'm talking about: James Cameron packs in as much excitement and tension and human drama as possible to make this sinking ship even more exciting and visually stunning than it already is. Over the past few months I feel like I've been on a sinking ship, and it has not felt stunning or glamorous at all. I've been waiting on doctors to give me a date and POA about my heart surgery that's been looming over me for nearly a year now. I got fired from my job that I absolutely loved. Internal family issues have been a big source of our growing sadness. I've learned things about certain people in my past that I cannot overlook. Have you ever felt like you're in a sinking ship? You're like the captain, and you look around and realized there's nothing you can do but wait for the water to crash in through the windows and swallow you up for eternity. One of the greatest things about Jesus is that He practically promises that life is going to suck and things will be hard. Never, ever does He say if you trust in Me, your life will go well. He doesn't even promise an easy life for those who reject Him. Life is going to suck for everyone at some point or another. And for some, the ship will just continue to sink from birth until the day they die. Others might experience a righting of a capsized ship for a time. But there's still water in the galley. Damage has been done. It's still going to go down. But the beauty of this film is that it does't end there. Not for Rose, anyway. When the elderly Rose remembers the Titanic in the final frames - Okay, I do hate the part where Old Rose goes "Oops" and drops the necklace in the ocean, that was awkwardly delivered like it should have been in a sitcom. But that's nothing compared to what the ending could have been. Do me a huge favor. After you're done with this podcast, go on YouTube and look up "Titanic - Alternate Ending." This will shock you, it will crack you up, and you will absolutely be stunned. You'll also be grateful someone had the courage to talk James Cameron out of letting this be the final version of Titanic, and I can almost guarantee that if this were the ending, we would not be talking about this magnificent film today. Not to mention, goodbye, Oscars. Anyway, the beauty of this film is that it doesn't end with the ship going down. At least not for Rose. When the elderly Rose remembers the Titanic in the final frames, she remembers it as it once was, with the warm lights, the smiling faces, the classical ambiance in the background, the hot steaming shrimp platters and broiled chicken. Children looking over the edge, gazing at the endless black ocean which they thought they'd never touch. Couples walking hand in hand.When I look back on the darkest of days, there was always a friend or two. People bringing us food, sending Bible verses, long conversations over chips and salsa, or phone talks aimed at pointing me in the right direction. A hug from my wife goes father than anything else in the world in the darkest of days. My kids saying "I love you," or making a pop-up card with Spider-Man drawn inside can light up the darkest recesses of my heart, if I let it. Yeah, Jesus promised life would suck. But He also promised we'd never be alone, those who trust in Him. And let's just say that everyone you love gets blown up by a raid from Russia and you're the only survivor. You'd still have the Holy Spirit working inside you. I bet if you look back on your most difficult times, you weren't really alone ever. In fact, you might have had too many people pestering you to offer you care and support. Everyone's on a sinking ship. It's called mortality. Not one valuable thing is going to last in this world. Not the Heart of the Ocean. Not your iPhone. Not even that Chinese stickman sitting on your shelf that's supposedly a family heirloom from when your grandfather fought in Vietnam. Life sucks, nothing lasts, but like the movie Titanic, all will end well for those who believe in Jesus as their savior. How do I know this? Can I prove it to you? I mean, I can show you a bunch of Bible verses, but ultimately it just comes down to childlike faith. I've been in the place where I had nothing and nobody, and I had no one else to turn to but God. It was a tough pill to swallow because I really, really hated Him. I cursed Him out on a daily basis, I mocked my wife for believing in Jesus. I despised church and everyone who worked for it. Either way, my ship was sinking. So did I want some help or not? I called on God and asked Jesus to help me. Parts of my life got better, sure. But ultimately, life still sucks. The bills keep getting bigger, the economy still crashed, I still lost my job for reasons 100% outside my control, I still fight with my wife and kids. But now at least, I'm not doing any of it alone. The thing I hate about talking about Christian stuff is that sometimes it just sounds like meaningless platitudes. You've heard people saying forever that some pizza is the greatest pizza in the world. But you truly don't understand how good a Chi Chi's Pizza is until you actually try it. You don't know what great, epic, 90's filmmaking is until you watch Titanic, or Braveheart. Or, like the elderly Rose at the beginning of the movie says after the bearded guy on the ship describes how the Titanic went down with the use of 90's computer graphics. She says, "Thank you for that fine forensic analysis, Mr. Bodee. Of course, the experience of it was ... somewhat different." I can tell you as someone who hated God, Bible verses were like pois on to me. I inwardly reacted to anything Scriptural the way Superman does to Kryptonite. But it's a very different experience when you enter into the faith and family of Jesus. Suddenly, it clicks, and the words of Scripture aren't just meaningless Hallmark well-wishes. They cut deep, speak to your soul, mend wounds that no words from mortals can utter. Your life, like mine, is a sinking ship. Soon, we'll each be buried, some scattered at sea. We hit the iceberg the second we were born. There's no escaping the rising waters. There's no slowing down time. But we can certainly build good memories while there still is time. Though the water may be rising around us, we can choose to focus on the ones we love, our family, our friends, those who speak truth into our lives. Much in the way Jack told Rose that she was better than the life she was born into - that she didn't have to continue on in that way, that she had a choice, she could turn from her life and experience something freer, more exhilarating. Just look around for one minute on Twitter, and you'll see quite clearly that the world is sinking, whether its by political disputes, ongoing systemic racism, or quite literally global warming. Jesus promised it would happen. He warned us about the icebergs. We were unable to steer clear. He's provided enough lifeboats to abandon ship, but unfortunately not everyone gets on. Thank you for listening. I'm your host, Andrew Toy, and I'll see you next time on Life Through the Big Screen.

Welcome back to the podcast! In this episode, I present and examine the music composed for the PREDATOR film franchise, from the 1987 original through to the latest installment, PREY, released via the streaming service Hulu in August 2022. My goal is to identify the themes, motifs, instrumentation and approach applied by composer Alan Silvestri (BACK TO THE FUTURE, MOUSE HUNT, THE AVENGERS) to PREDATOR (1987) & PREDATOR 2 (1990) and how this symphonic model was subsequently interpreted in the sequels and spin-offs (or not). Later, PREY eschews much of the previous musical language and charts new sonic territory, with a subtle nod to Silvestri. Additional composers represented in this pulse-pounding episode include John Debney, Brian Tyler, Henry Jackman, Harald Kloser and Sarah Schachner.

The Mikes are about to make millions, but first they just have to catch that mouse that's been running around the house...if they don't kill each other first. That's basically the plot of Forgotten Cinema in a nutshell, but ALSO the plot of the 1997 film, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119715/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 (Mousehunt); the first feature film by director https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0893659/?ref_=tt_ov_dr (Gore Verbinski). In the film, brothers Ernie (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001447/?ref_=tt_ov_st (Nathan Lane)) and Lars (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0262968/?ref_=tt_ov_st (Lee Evans)) are down on their luck when inherit their father's old dying string factory that they promised not to sell as well as an old decrepit house they didn't even know he owned. When the brothers find out the house could be worth millions of dollars if they fix it up and auction it, they get straight to work. What they don't know is that the house already has a tenet; a super smart and hard to catch mouse who outsmarts and ruins Ernie, Lars, and even a neurotic pest control specialist (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000686/?ref_=tt_cl_t_14 (Christopher Walken)).

It's March, it's sunny, Sam turned twenty-something, and now we're watching Mousehunt (1997). You guessed right listener, we're living the dream over here. Jealous? Well, you're in luck. You can listen to us and maybe even watch along (if this film even appears on Amazon prime in your country). You want morbid funeral and toiler humour? This film is perfect for you. Despite the fact that Calum giggles at farts (I've HEARD you do it many times, sir), he didn't appreciate the toiler humour and he let's us know about it. Frequently. So you have that to look forward to, dear listener.

Welcome back to our month of 90's Childhood Fever Dreams, in which we celebrate the birth of Sam by watching the weird crap she watched as a child. This week, we had an amaizing time as we watched VeggieTales. Well, that's a lie, we've bean suffering. We don't carrot all for this series and we don't beet around the bush about it. Peas don't worry, we didn't include any puns in this episode at all. It's a show about Christian vegetables, so it's corny enough without the extra help.
