His co-host, roll their eyes, thinking to themselves how dumb this sounds. They realize they can't stop him and he knows this, so…..he continues along his own self destructive path. Still reading this as if he'd just done a line of coke and downed a pot of coffee.

He looks up, smirks at his co-host, looks back at his notes, and plods along, cocky and self assured. TodayHe stops and thinks to himself, I really do say today a lot in this script. I should change that for the next series. Slim it down, make it faster. He continues…Today we're talking about the Wes Anderson Rhode Dhal Netflix shorts; The Swan, The Ratcatcher, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, and Poison. A series of shorts that prove that they will film anything for the right amount of money. Now comes the fun part he thinks. The part Casey gets to have the most fun with….picking their Nicknames. He puts more time into this part than he'd like to admit. He looks back down at his notes and continues once again. Dr. Jon thinks to himself….when will this fucking end?.

In this unlocked episode of Mama Needs a Movie's Patreon spinoff podcast, ATTENTION MUST BE PAID (patreon.com/MNAM), Anne and Ryan look back at Lynne Ramsay's MORVERN CALLAR, a 2002 Scottish drama anchored by a haunting performance from Samantha Morton that is worthy of far more attention. Traumatized by the suicide of her novelist boyfriend on Christmas morning, Morvern Callar (Morton), submits his last manuscript as her own, then sets out on a trip to Spain with her best friend Lana (Kathleen McDermont). Following Ramsay's acclaimed debut feature, RATCATCHER, and preceding her more widely-recognized WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN and YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE, MORVERN CALLAR is at turns moving, meditative, unsettling, and essential to understanding Ramsay's one-of-a-kind directorial approach. MORVERN CALLAR is available to stream for free on Kanopy or Freevee (with ads), or with subscription to The Criterion Channel or Prime Video.

On this episode of the podcast Phillip is joined for the first time by Kevin Westbrook to talk all about Terrance Malick's debut film Badlands. Phillip starts the show by reading the general information about the film with some trivia sprinkled in. It's then time for Listener Opinions from Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Some reviews we talked about are linked here: Dave Kolonich = https://letterboxd.com/trunkshotcinema/film/badlands/reviews/ and Conor Colfer = https://boxd.it/5cDGzt. Then Phillip and Kevin discuss the film and tell some behind the scenes stories. It's a great conversation. They then answer the question of whether they noticed anything in it that Quentin Tarantino might have liked or used in a film. It's then time to individually rate the movie. Finally they answer whether they would buy this movie, rent it, or find it for free. Phillip then gives his Phil's Film Favorite of the Week; Love Lies Bleeding (2024). Kevin shares that he liked the movie Ratcatcher (1999). Phillip then promotes next week's show where he will be joined for the first time by Kristin Battestella, to discuss House of Dark Shadows from 1970. So join us then. Thanks for listening.

This week we dive into the hallucinogenic world of Disco Boy, which stars European arthouse cinema's current It boy Franz Rogowski as an undocumented Belarusian immigrant who joins the French Foreign Legion. We also take a look at Evil Does Not Exist, the latest from Ryusuke Hamaguchi. This Japanese filmmaker has amassed a cult following but he's still to convince some of our hosts on the pod. Will Evil Does Not Exist change their minds? And with Lynne Ramsay's Ratcatcher getting a 25th-anniversary rerelease this month, we look back at the four feature films to date from this visionary Scottish filmmaker.

"The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar," based on the 1977 short story of the same name by Roald Dahl, had its world premiere at the 2023 Venice International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for filmmaker Wes Anderson bringing his trademark cinematic style to the short film format. It is the second film adaptation of Dahl's work directed by Anderson, following the Oscar-nominated "Fantastic Mr. Fox" in 2009. With an Academy Award nomination for Best Live Action Short, "Henry Sugar" marks Anderson's eighth Oscar nomination. Working with his usual collaborators both in front and behind the camera, the film is the first of a four-part series of shorts adapted from Dahl's short stories, including "The Swan," "The Rat Catcher," and "Poison."

Cinematographer Robert Yeoman has been a consistent collaborator with director Wes Anderson since the 1990's. Together, Bob and Anderson have crafted a signature visual style that combines meticulous set design, vibrant color palettes, and symmetrical framing. Each frame feels like a carefully composed painting, with every detail thoughtfully arranged to enhance the overall narrative. Bob's latest collaboration with Anderson is the film Asteroid City and a series of short films adapted from the writings of Roald Dahl. Bob was the DP for The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, The Rat Catcher and Poison. Both the film Asteroid City and the Roald Dahl shorts feature the actors speaking directly to the camera as in a stage play, and props and sets pieces are obviously moved in and out of frame. For the Dahl short films, most of the script is taken directly from Dahl's writing, with the actors reciting the story to the audience. They shot all of the short films in England on two stages right next to each other. While the crew was shooting on one stage, the art department designed and built the stage next to it. Anderson's pre-production process includes the creation of animatics to plan and visualize scenes before shooting begins. An animatic is a series of storyboard images edited together to give a rough preview of the film's pacing and visual composition. Once the animatic is complete, everyone on the creative team is on the same page regarding the visual and narrative direction of the film. The art department then takes the animatic and turns it into a physical space. Since Anderson is so specific about how he wants his compositions to look, Bob usually uses a camera on a dolly track- a steadicam or a technocrane can't get the same level of precision. They imported a special dolly track from Paris for shooting the Roald Dahl shorts. Because of the size of the track, some of the sets that had to slide open and closed were built so that they were slightly elevated from the floor. To accommodate the dolly, all of the lights had to be placed in the ceiling and were operated from a main control board. There were many rehearsals with the art and props department to get the set and prop movements right. The actors knew exactly where to position themselves in the scene just from the detailed animatics. The film Asteroid City explores themes of grief, melancholy and disconnection. It melds together two very distinctive looks- the format of a black and white 1950's era TV documentary in 4:3 aspect ratio about a play, “Asteriod City,” which is then intercut with the staging of “Asteroid City” in a sunny desert town, shot in widescreen with bright pastel colors and lighting. The town set was built from scratch, in a desert in Spain. To create the look, they chose to shoot on film, and Bob tested several different film stocks. He embraced the harsh, high contrast desert light as a character in the movie, even though it went against his instincts as a cinematographer. They made the pastel colors pop in the DI (digital intermediate), and gave it more of a low-contrast look. Though it was shot on a set, Anderson didn't want to use any movie lights on Asteroid City. Instead, skylights were built into each of the buildings such as the diner and the motel office. The skylights were then covered with very thick diffusion so that the light was very soft and even. Under the desert sun, bounce cards and the occasional silk was used to throw more light on the actor's faces. By contrast, they used a very complex theatrical lighting setup when shooting the black and white sequences. They used a lot of harder lights on dimmers, and shot on black and white film. Bob finds that the less gear you have on a set coming between the actors and the director, the more intimate the experience. There's always a huge crew for making Anderson's films, but while shooting a scene, there are only about 10 people present.

#188 Killers of the Flower Moon, Five Nights At Freddy's, Night of the Hunted It takes a while to get passed the horrific vibes of Halloween. Which brings us to Night of the Hunted; a sniping horror indie film that unfortunately doesn't get passed its concept of a one-location thriller. Five Nights At Freddy's is one of several new horror films geared for the youth and their low-key love of the game franchise and its lore, though it rarely meets high levels. Finally, Killers of the Flower Moon further cements Scorsese's ability as an auteur of truly heinous chapters of American history.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 14 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the first film in their Lynne Ramsay series, 1999's Ratcatcher. Gaining notice throughout the 1990s for her short films, director Lynne Ramsay became a name cemented in the fabric of modern cinema as someone who was able to distinctly exam human relationships at such a raw yet honest perspective. After winning the 1996 Cannes Prix de Jury for her graduation short film, "Small Deaths," she spent some time working on various short films, all with critical success, leading her to develop one of the most personal debuts of the last 25 years, Ratcatcher. In telling the story of a young boy trying to move on in his life after a tragedy to one of his best friends, Ramsay showcases what happens when the innocence of childhood is taken too soon before you are ready to grow up, and announces herself as one of the best visual storytellers of her generation. Led by a cast of mostly unknown actors and shot impeccably by cinematographer Alwin H. Küchler, Ryan and Jay breakdown down Ramsay's debut and where it ranks as some of the best debuts of the 90s, the child performances in the film, the open ending for the film, and the film year that was 1999. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h19m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series covering the films of Lynn Ramsay with a review of her second feature film, Morvern Callar. You can stream Morvern Callar on Max, as well as rent it via iTunes or Amazon Prime Video in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

In this episode of the Roald Dahl Retrospective, Arun and Patricia talks about 4 shorts exclusive on Netflix written and directed by Wes Anderson, the writer and director of Fantastic Mr. Fox. They are The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar, The Rat Catcher, The Swan, and Poison starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes, Dev Patel, Rupert Friend, Richard Ayoade, and Ben Kingsley. The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar focuses on a rich man named Henry Sugar who reads a book about a man who is able to see without his eyes. He wishes to learn how to do it so he can go to casinos and earn millions of dollars. The Rat Catcher is about a rat catcher who has a very unorthodox way to catching rats by acting, looking, and thinking like one, which startles a journalist and a mechanic. The Swan is about a 15-year-old boy who is tormented and bullied by two kids who are going around and killing birds with a hunting rifle. Poison is about two British soldiers stationed in India. One of them is laying in bed very still with a poisonous snake in his stomach and the other is reaching out for help to rescue him before it's too late. The short films have been praised for its set pieces, acting, and accuracy to Roald Dahl's stories. Arun and Patricia praised Wes Anderson's work on Fantastic Mr. Fox. Did he achieve his success again with the 4 short films? Listen and find out. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/old-school-lane/support

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision-making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 13 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the final film in their Denis Villeneuve series, Dune (2019). As the guys talked about last week, Blade Runner 2049 wasn't the biggest success in the world, though it won a couple of Oscars and was considered a perfect test for Villeneuve to explore existing IP and give his unique vision to it. In successfully making that film, he was then given the massive opportunity to adapt one of the greatest pieces of sci-fi canon with Frank Herbert's classic novel, Dune. Obsessed with the novel as a kid, Villeneuve decided to split the book into two parts, only shooting the first film, and trusting audiences would like his take on the book enough for there to be a demand for more. It was a big gamble and it paid off with Dune being a good commercial hit that also bleed into multiple Oscar nominations and wins, and a part two that we will see soon. In their discussion, Ryan and Jay talked about the marketing of the film, if it works as a solo film or not, where they stand on Timothée Chalamet as a Hollywood leading man, the technical achievement behind the work, if Villeneuve was snubbed for a Best Director nomination, and give out their rankings to wrap of the series. Make sure you listen to the whole episode to hear the next two series the guys are going to cover to wrap up the 2023 calendar year. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h02m. Dune is currently available to stream on Max and Netflix as well as for rent on Prime Video. The guys will be back next week for the beginning of an all-new series covering the films of Lynne Ramsey, and her first feature, Ratcatcher. You can stream Ratcatcher on Max, as well as rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.
