Today we welcome back Paul Keelan of CINEMATIC UNDERDOGS to discuss the abrasive, deliberately alienating character studies of Rick Alverson. Alverson works with alt-comedy icons like Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington, but his films are anything but normal comedies— whatever you call them, they're dark, uncomfortable, and follow people you probably don't want to spend much time with. We're discussing two of his best-known provocations (don't let the titles fool you): 2012's Tim Heidecker-starring THE COMEDY, and 2015's Neil Hamburger vehicle ENTERTAINMENT. Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

Lean Year is Virginia-based singer Emilie Rex and filmmaker/musician Rick Alverson, along with Erik Hall, who lives in rural Michigan, where he records and co-produces the band's records with Alverson. The band's latest, Sides, is heavy on dreamlike and beautiful melodies, yet the material is also meditation on grief and the processing of personal tragedy. Using mellotron, keyboards of many colors, guitar, and a tapestry of synth pads of sampled woodwinds, together with Rex's distinctive voice, the music is “a balancing act between pathos and pop” (Bandcamp), which feels haunted and cinematic, while celebrating memories and embracing calm amidst the sorrow. Lean Year plays in-studio.  Set list: "Nitetime", "Marriage of Heaven and Hell", "Trouble with Being Warm" Watch "Nitetime": Watch "Marriage of Heaven and Hell": Watch "Trouble with Being Warm":

On this week's episode of the Criterion CULT Film Podcast we get our dancing shoes on and sing and dance our way through our destructive patterns and discuss All That Jazz from the Criterion Collection. And the show must go on with Rick Alverson's film Entertainment starring the great Greg Turkington.

Dreamy slow-core folk duo Lean Year is Virginia-based singer Emilie Rex and filmmaker/musician Rick Alverson, along with contributions from Chicago musician/engineer Erik Hall and guest artists. Their musical palette is one of soft-spoken but direct vocals, a Telecaster guitar dredging through peaceful waters, baritone saxophone and clarinet parts, Rhodes, tape-warps, and waves of strings. Lean Year joins us in-studio to play some of these cutting and quiet minimalist folk tunes. (From the Archives, 2018.)

This week, Mike and Mike discuss probably the bleakest movie Jeff Goldblum has ever starred in - 2019's THE MOUNTAIN, from director Rick Alverson. Also starring Tye Sheridan, Denis Lavant, and Hannah Gross, THE MOUNTAIN features one of Jeff Goldblum's biggest roles in recent years, as a doctor in 1950s America traveling from hospital to hospital to perform lobotomies on patients. Like we said, it's a bleak one.

Jeff Jensen calls in all the way from Ghana this week to talk about his extremely wide but often hard-to-find body of work, including his work with director Rick Alverson in The Comedy and Entertainment, his prank phone calls as part of Earles and Jensen, and his various and often destructive live music acts. He also details his unreleased prank phone calls for American Apparel, emceeing for Sonic Youth and Pavement in character, and his documentary about the unbelievable story behind the independent Elvis museum "Graceland Too." Listen to Earles and Jensen's prank call album Just Farr A Laugh on YouTube and Spotify! Links: Earles and Jensen - I Sure Hope So Chris Campbell Part 1 - Unreleased American Apparel prank call

In July's Cinefile Rosslyn Hyams speaks to leading French actor Denis Lavant, and a Philippines film director, the prolific and multi-talented Lav Diaz. Click on the arrow on the photo above to listen to the interviews. Or subscribe to Cinefile. The Mountain Also known as a psychosurgical odyssey, The Mountain was released in the US in July on the heels of it's French première at the Champs-Elysées Film Festival. The Mountain has a serious track record, featuring in the Venice Film Festival 2018 followed by Sundance in 2019. US director Rick Alverson's 5th feature is on the surface about the practice of lobotomy, invented by a real-life doctor called Walter Freeman in America in the 1950s. Jeff Goldblum and Tye Sheridan play respectively lobotomiser Dr Wallace Fiennes and his would-be lobotimised photo assistant, Andy. Of course, that's the top layer. Its slow pace, lacklustre palette and trunkated, creepy dialogue, potentially lull the viewer into a mindless state. However, if you seek, you may find issues about today's America, or about many parts of the world today. Alverson puts a lot of thought into this film. The Mountain is a mind-game, where the mostly eery calm of the cajoling or passive characters is blown apart by French actor Denis Lavant. He plays French single-father Jack, who wants lobotomy-mad Dr Fiennes to operate on his teenage daughter, the object of Andy's first love. Lavant is known for his energy and seemingly unbridled action on stage, as well as on screen. His ability to slip into the skin of arresting characters out of a Tolkien novel or a Shakespeare play or from a French equivalent of East Enders, makes him any director’s dream, but he selects carefully. "Jack is already a bit schizo to begin with. I don’t need to analyse this character to be able to play him. I just have to act the character if you like. Rick Alverson is great and really knows how to direct actors. He suggests plenty of imaginative ideas." Listen to Cinefile podcast to hear more about Denis Lavant's take on The Mountain. Ang Hupa -The Halt The four-hour-40 minute long film is largely dark and once again deals with Lav Diaz' main concerns, the politics and sociology of his country, the Philippines. Set in 2034, when the volcanic action has put out the light, a raving, deluded dictator (Joel Lamangan) is manipulated puppet-style by two women security chiefs (Hazel Orencio and Mara Lopez). Their ambition and love of power drives the plot while their passions are inflamed by a love-triangle involving a teacher with a quest and a part-time escort job (Shaina Magdayao). The man to follow is the enigmatic Hook Torollo played by Piolo Pascual. He realises that he will achieve greater fulfillment from helping street children than firing rocket-propelled grenades or the like. Philippines director, writer, producer, composer, editor Lav Diaz could of course say much the same in a shorter time, but he maintains that this would zap his propos. Not just a whim, and far from detracting from the story-telling, the slow pace adds fluidity to Anga Hupa -The Halt, allowing the film to sink in. "I want to work more on spaces, so you can actually touch the thing, a corporal experience with the medium. The so-called audience must also be engaged, not just entertained... rather than being subordinated to the action of Tom Cruise. I want you to see the ants and the birds and the wind." Première at Cannes Lav Diaz', Ang Hupa or The Halt in English premièred at the Cannes Director's Fortnight in May 2019, it also screened at Poland's New Horizons and the Jerusalem Film Festival. Listen to the Cinefile podcast or by clicking on the arrow on the photo above to hear Lav Diaz talking about the dictatorship, street children, homosexuality on film, and why there are a few glimmers of light in his literally dark films.

Indie film editor Michael Taylor returns to the podcast for his second visit. Three projects that he has been working on: Rick Alverson's "The Mountain", Guy Nattiv's "Skin", and Lulu Wang's "The Farewell" are all currently in theaters. Taylor is married to the production designer Judy Becker; the two are bi-coastal these days but call NYC home.

The Mountain, an interview with Rick Alverson by Cinema Without Borders - CineEqual

Jam-packed is an understatement when it comes to this episode of BEHIND THE LENS thanks to special guests writer/director RICK ALVERSON, actor KIRBY BLISS BLANTON, and producer DRAKE DOREMUS! Kicking off #BTLRadioShow we're talking about ONCE UPON A TIME…IN HOLLYWOOD, truly Quentin Tarantino's love letter to Hollywood and specifically, the memorable year 1969. Hands down my fave Tarantino film, he has truly outdone himself on every level to deliver a masterpiece. And what about casting? Brad Pitt's best role and best performance in many a year, and possibly the best of his career. But be on the lookout for scene-stealing Julia Butters who is truly cinematic gold. Take a listen as I discuss the movie at length paying attention to cinematography, color, some fun action sequences, the integral importance of the beloved Musso & Frank's, and more. Shifting gears from the glory and fun of Tarantino, how about the glory of a film starring Jeff Goldblum and Tye Sheridan? Writer/Director RICK ALVERSON is live talking THE MOUNTAIN. Spellbinding, thought-provoking, and compelling, Rick discusses in rich detailed analysis, the narrative of film and breaking the traditional narrative through story construct, visuals, and performance; and what better film to explore this with than THE MOUNTAIN which is loosely based on Dr. Walter Freeman, a doctor who travelled the country promoting and performing lobotomies (Freeman famously performed the lobotomy on Rosemary Kennedy). And talk about performance? Goldblum is solid gold as the doctor. Listen as we talk about the visual design and bandwidth of the film. And then actor KIRBY BLISS BLANTON joins us talking about her two current films – RING RING and WISH MAN. Last week we heard from RING RING writer/director Adam Marino, and a few weeks ago actor Andrew Steel was with us talking about his starring role in WISH MAN. Now we get to hear from Kirby. Take a listen as we talk about both films (even a little bit on her early tv work on "Hannah Montana"), the respective characters and the similarities and differences between not only the characters but with Kirby herself, tapping into attitude of a character, physical demands of certain roles like that in RING RING, and so much more. Rounding out the show is DRAKE DOREMUS. Normally we'd be talking with Drake about his work as a writer/director, but this time he's here in his capacity as producer of the documentary LOVE, ANTOSHA. A loving tribute and look at the life of Anton Yelchin, whose life was cut short too soon, LOVE, ANTOSHA makes your heart smile as we move through Anton's life and hear from him and about him through his many written diaries, his films, home movies, photographs, cards and letters, interviews with friends and family alike (particularly his mother whose love for her son just fills the film). http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

THE MOUNTAIN is a dark, hypnotic and surreal satire about repression and conformity set against the 1950’s “golden age” of American male domination. (Tye Sheridan, READY PLAYER ONE, MUD), whose mother was sent to an asylum years ago, is an introverted young photographer at loose ends, ignored by his father (cult actor Udo Kier). After the death of his father, Andy is befriended by renowned lobotomist Dr. Wallace Fiennes (Jeff Goldblum, THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL, JURASSIC PARK) and joins him on a tour to promote the doctor’s recently-debunked procedure. As Andy increasingly identifies with the asylum’s patients, he falls in love with a rebellious young woman, Susan (Hannah Gross, “Mindhunter”), and encounters the burgeoning New Age movement of the West. Also starring Denis Lavant (HOLY MOTORS). Director and co-writer Rick Alverson (ENTERTAINMENT, THE COMEDY) joins us for a conversation on the subversive performances of Goldblum and Sheridan and the ways his harrowing, brilliant film cuts to the core of savage male brutality in the guise of “science.” For news and updates go to: kinolorber.com/The Mountain Rick Alverson Productions Rick Alverson's film production - madebedproductions.com

If there's one universal truth about filmmaking, it's that it's hard as hell to get your picture made. So if you're going to go through all the trouble of making a movie, you better damn well make sure you're not scared to tell the story that you want to tell. Luckily, there's no better time to do this than at the very beginning. Rick Alverson is one of the most daring filmmakers on the planet. His latest film, The Mountain, is a surreal odyssey concerning the very heart of creativity itself: the mind. Or rather the antiquated science behind destroying it. In the film, Tye Sheridan plays a young man who after losing his mother, goes to work with a doctor, portrayed by the unhumanly charismatic Jeff Goldblum, who specializes in lobotomies. The timing of this film's release is no coincidence. While there may not be a literal blade held to our skull, every day we are subject to creative suppression from an overabundance of media, screens and pop culture. And while mainline cinema may do its best to further this narrative, Alverson argues that it's our duty as independent filmmakers to buck the trend and create art that leads to critical thinking. It's a truth that he learned some time along the middle of his career, that filmmaking should be about having a conversation with the medium and not a promotional exercise. Filmmakers should meditate on how they can contribute to the art form itself and not look for personal advancement. There is no better time to start this practice, than at the very beginning. NFS sat down with Alverson and Sheridan to discuss how filmmakers can look to achieve this very notion at SXSW.

This week we get together to discuss Jonathan's pick, Michael Mann's *The Insider*. We also talk about the trailers for Rick Alverson's *The Mountain* starring Jeff Goldblum and Tye Sheridan and *IT: Chapter Two* with Bill Hader, Jessica Chastain, and James McAvoy. We also talk extensively about (including spoilers) *Avenger's: Endgame*, the goods and many bads of Peter Hyams filmography (*Sudden Death*, *Outland*, and *Time Cop*), Kevin and Jon spar over of Paul Thomas Anderson, specifically *Boogie Nights*, *There Will Be Blood*, and *Inherent Vice*. Other films include *The Wandering Earth*, *The Running Man*, *Prospect*, *Last of the Mohicans*, and *Snowpiercer*. Feel free to email us anytime at filmyakpodcast@gmail.com!

The big day is here 5 films, a 12 hour marathon. Starting off with a Claire Denis retrospective Beau Travail. We cover two Troma adjacent films Assassinaut and Mutant Blast, all hail Lloyd. We would never miss a fresh Rick Alverson movie especially one starring Goldblum. UWE BOLL says "Fuck You All" to the critics and fans alike, but he seems like an interesting man in the documentary about his life. 

The leeeeeegendary Ryan and the leeeeeegendary Dave immerse themselves in the strange world of Neil Hamburger, the intentionally off-putting stand-up character created by comedian/actor Gregg Turkington. Joined by familiar faces like John C. Reilly and Michael Cera, Turkington and director Rick Alverson take us on a surreal, David Lynch-esque journey into the lonely mind of a uniquely twisted performance artist. Also, Ryan and Dave continue their discussion about modern comedy and "political correctness" that began with last week's review of "The King of Comedy", where Ryan does some John C. Reilly impressions and Dave coins the term "blackologist". Next week, Ryan's next pick brings perennial favorite Harvey Keitel back to the forefront where he belongs - "Bad Lieutenant"!

Rick Alverson’s new film THE COMEDY is not necessarily a comedy. Depending on your limits for satire, many scenes will make you laugh while you might be cringing or even angry at other scenes. As we follow 30-something Swanson (Tim Heidecker) in his privileged yet aimless leisurely days, the ante gets upped when he stands to inherit his Father’s estate. Forced with the first major change in life, he and his friends (among them Eric Wareheim, LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy and comedian Gregg Turkington a.k.a. Neil Hamburger) strive for connection and an understanding of the world – not by hip, gleeful emoting but through testing the limits of society and common taste with possible punishment at every turn. It’s a strong, timely film. Cinemad talks with Alverson about making the film and testing audiences for the right reasons.
