POPULARITY
Episode 180 - Everton 2-0 Chelsea. Three wins in a row! Three clean sheets! 9 points.
Mamo! — the show about movies and popular culture — focuses this week on the identities of the various platforms in the Streaming Wars, and somehow does all of that without mentioning the demise of.... Quazzle? Quambo? Quimdim? Quizzle. Qui-gon. Quaqum. Quo.

If you’re a regular listener to The Cinecast of yesteryear, you’ll know that Kurt’s been on Andrew’s case since forever to get his ass up to Montreal for the annual Fantasia Film Festival. Apparently all it took was the better part of a decade and the “closing” of RowThree to secure a festival badge and train ticket. And from what we can remember, it was a pretty good time with friends and flicks; a full recap is attached hereto. But first, folk horror rears its evil head in Scandanavia with Ari Aster’s Midsommar and Quentin Tarantino wows us with his ninth tenth ninth(?) newest film with yet another foray into revisionist history. This time it’s late 60s California in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. So don your flower crowns, light up a Red Apple® and sit back and enjoy; it’s time for the Cinecast Special! As always, please join the conversation by leaving your own thoughts in the comment section below and again, thanks for listening!

SPOILER WARNING! Summer is here and so are the Avengers, perhaps for the last time! We desperately attempt to recap our AVENGERS: ENDGAME glee in a crowded restaurant before laying out our guesswork for which films will come in below ENDGAME in the summer's top ten list. Join us for a slice, won't ya?
It’s time for another trip back to 1989, and this time we’re driving the Delorean right on down to Hinkley Hills, where Tom Hanks is having a few problems dealing with his new neighbors in Joe Dante’s The ‘Burbs. A box-office success but a critical failure, how does it hold up? While we’re there, why not visit Corey Feldman and see what he’s got in his compact disc player? Mayhaps it’s the self-titled debut album from Skid Row? Point your big-ear-guns to Episode 38 for all that, and more. Our guest on this episode is Kurt Halfyard of Row Three, Twitch, and the Cinecast. Be sure to check out his series Kids Talk Film on Twitch, where his kids view films like Alien, Road Warrior, Godzillaand more and weigh in with their post-viewing thoughts. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/time-bandits/message
Can you believe we've done 500 of these? Neither can we! It's time to convene a Wizengamot on the future fates of the Harry Potter Expanded Universe, as evidenced by the lukewarm-at-best reaction to J.K. Rowling and David Yates' FANTASTIC BEASTS 2: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD.
While it’s true that RowThree.com is going static after a decade of updates, a milestone by any measure, we’re not done! After the Credits has a new home and we’re happy to announce that going forward, you can find new episodes of the podcast at atcpod.ca beginning with the December preview which will drop next week followed by some coverage from the Whistler Film Festival. Come January, we’ll be re-launching Girls on Pop and Dale has been cooking up a side-show for a few months that we’re hoping to launch in the very near future – all this to say that we’re not going anywhere! For the most part, you won’t need to make any changes to your feed but if you don’t see fresh content popping up before November 30th, or to prevent missing any awesomeness, update your feed to http://atcpod.ca/feed/.
Hello Mamo listeners! The Matts are off on a new adventure, a monthly podcast for the Modern Superior network profiling the recently deceased in our pop culture community. Give a listen, and subscribe, follow, and enjoy as you see fit! We're in iTunes, Libsyn, the Play Store, and at modernsuperior.com.
Less about the Joss Whedon clusterfuck than one of its underlying questions: what's the deal with aspirational morality?
The year is 2017. Orange Hitler is the president. And as Mamo predicted at the turn of the decade, movies are on their way out. Let's discuss.
As Mamo gets near the end of its first season, we take in the formal mastery of DUNKIRK while wondering aloud: just white people? Really? And at least one of the Matts is a pretty hefty fan of GAME OF THRONES but greets this CONFEDERATE news with a hefty: really, white people? Really?
Is intellectual curiosity a privilege, or a basic human value? Springing off Matt Zoller Seitz's twitter conversation this week about easy-access movies, we parse out how harshly one can judge anyone in this day and age for being behind the curve.
Wonder Woman is here, and we dive deep into the suddenly-refreshing waters of the DCEU - with additional talk of Batman, the Justice League, Aquaman, and the cult of narrative around projects of this scale. Plus, Price's Disney boycott finally worked, and with Sense8 on its way out, peak TV may have finally peaked.
Summer? What summer? We're here to talk about cultural appropriation, as only two white guys can.
Building on comments in episode 463 ("Uber Iger"), we have another look at the political landscape that Disney is influencing, with an eye on the long game re: representation, diversity, and globalization. Is a billionaire vs. billionaire rumble coming? Plus, many special guest stars!
The summer season kicks off in just three weeks and the Boys Of Summer (trademark pending) are back to pick the hits and misses of the forthcoming box office season!
Brown returns from Japan with stories to share, just as a swath of Orientalist garbage swamps the west - Iron Fist, Ghost in the Shell, and Death Note. Plus, let's talk about the competing nostalgist philosophies of Beauty & The Beast and T2: Trainspotting!
Talkin' PERSONAL SHOPPER with Kurt Halfyard of Row Three.
Mamo covers its second lifetime regime of a King Kong as Legendary expands its cinematic universe with KONG: SKULL ISLAND. Spoilers: it’s a movie about a giant monkey

As if inspired by our recent comments re: our lane and his, Bozo POTUS doubled down on bringing the pop culture straight into the American government. Is Saturday Night Live now the voice of the resistance? Will corporations tilt towards, or away from, the cheesy-haired weirdo? If pursuing the right course demands an act of piracy, can PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES be the right course?
America is dying a very specific "Germany in the mid-1930s" sort of death, and even if we don't know the outcome, we're beginning to identify the collaborators. Not so Mamo-related when it's a taxi company, but what about when it's the chairman of Disney? What are our responsibilities to this "popular culture" we've been gabbing about for 12 years? Before you say "stay in your lane," sorry friends, this shit is our lane.
It is my esteemed pleasure and honor to introduce the all-new Director's Club! This is the first official episode hosted by your two new hosts. The great Brad and Al have been handed the keys to the kingdom and inherited a chocolate factory. Please give them your support, kind words, and feedback for their stay here on the podcast. It will continue to be bi-weekly, sometimes featuring guests, sometimes not. The format is very similar so don't fret. For their first episode as hosts, Brad and Al have recruited a familiar voice from past episodes both here and over at RowThree.com. The Cinecast's very own Andrew James joins Brad & Al to talk about the entire career of Mr. Danny Boyle. They start at SHALLOW GRAVE and go all the way to STEVE JOBS, and everything in-between. I pop on the mic at one point to give my two cents on SUNSHINE as well, and the crew discuss the merits of TRAINSPOTTING and its upcoming sequel. So kick back and relax, and welcome to Director's Club hosted by two truly terrific and intelligent hosts that I hope you enjoy and respect just much as you did with the original hosts.

Team 'Mo gathers once again to discuss the 2017 Oscar nominations, which are fairly boring, but as ever, we are not.
The "separate the art from the artist" debate rears its head once again, as allegations arise against Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Star Trek says we'll evolve: can we?
POWER!! Who has it? Who needs it? Who wants it? Who lost it? Team Mamo recaps the year 2016 in movers and shakers as the pop cultural landscape is wracked by celebrity deaths, digital doubles and orange-faced idiots. Hey 2016: don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. And for sure don’t fall down that flight of stairs, accidentally set yourself on fire and throw yourself off a bridge.
In advance of tomorrow night's Superticket, the Mamo twosome gather to come down against ROGUE ONE - and the discrepancy between the movie Disney marketed and the movie we actually got.
Mamo and Cinecast unite to form the Super Ticket! We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us.
What are the limits of representation? Looking at MOANA and in light of Kathleen Kennedy's recent comments re: female directors for STAR WARS, we have a gab.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. And I want to say thank you for all the very kind words and messages in regards to my introduction from the last episode in which I announced the show will be hosted by two different voices next year. For this episode, it is my pleasure to welcome back two special guests from the past that have meant a great deal to me and for their friendship, I am grateful. The first is the co-host of RowThree.com’s Cinecast, and has been a frequent contributor to the show here going all the way back to his first appearance on the Michael Winterbottom episode, the loquacious and astute Kurt Halfyard. The other is a film graduate and she has joined me twice this year to talk about Hitchcock and Varda, the intelligent and good-natured Kate Blair. We cover the surprising winner of the listener’s poll, UK’s very own Jonathan Glazer who has made three films that are all incredibly unique as well as several advertisements and memorable music videos. First up we cover Glazer’s take on the gangster heist noir SEXY BEAST, in which we all do our best impersonations of Ben Kingsley and his Oscar-nominated role as Don Logan. Secondly, we revisit a much-derided film upon its release, BIRTH, with a pitch-perfect Nicole Kidman as she grapples with the possibility that her dead husband has been reincarnated into the body of a ten-year-old boy. Finally, the one that anyone who has seen it then can’t wait to talk about it afterward, we dive into the pool of the profoundly original sci-fi alien thriller UNDER THE SKIN. Later in the episode, we briefly talk about 2016 recommendations as well as the plans I have for the rest of the year. There may be a bonus episode or two, but other than that, I’m taking most of December off to focus on a number of projects including the revision of my interview podcast and more. Stay subscribed and Happy Holidays to all! 00:00 – 07:03 – Introduction 07:04 – 08:57 – Director Song 08:58 – 26:48 – General Overview, First Experiences 26:49 – 01:02:30 – Music Videos, Sexy Beast 01:02:31 – 01:58:28 – Birth 01:58:29 – 02:21:06 – Under The Skin 02:21:06 – 02:31:13 – Outro For the next episode, it may be a whole month until I return alongside friend Bill Ackerman as we talk for three hours about our favorite films of 2016. I’m going to be binge-watching as much as I can for the next month, getting ready to launch a revised version of Pop Culture Club, as well as spending time with friends and family because now more than ever, we need to remind one another that we care. Please visit Directorsclubpodcast.com, send me an email to directorsclubpodcast@gmail.com. I want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Welcome back to Mamo! Join us for a far-ranging discussion that starts with Donald Trump, Devin Faraci, and complicity in rape culture; wraps its arms around Ava DuVernay's 13th and Queen Sugar and the proper use of one's "power list" capital; and gets, generally, into where we are right now.
It's time to close up the summer of 2016 with respect to box office, and the box office contest! We anoint a new winner and talk about the summer that sorta wasn't.
We almost made it out of TIFF 2016 without ever doing a show, but not quite! Joined (and prompted) by special guest star Shelagh Rowan-Legg, we have a look at a couple of remarkable genre films about women - RAW and THE UNTAMED - before diving into MOONLIGHT and the question of representation, as things finally begin to move forward.
Andrew James, co-host of Cinecast at Row Three, joins us again to play some movie games. Can he break out of the “High School Musical” doldrums? Did Zach give “8 1/2” the Fellini Flop? Does James secretly like “Singin’ in the Rain?” There’s only one way to find out. Links You can listen to Andrew James on his podcast, Cinecast. Follow Andrew James on Letterboxd.

Hope you're ready for an epic-length episode featuring the great Kurt Halfyard of RowThree.com, who returns for the fourth time to talk with us about the controversial and divisive director Michael Haneke.

RowThree.com writer and Cinecast co-host Andrew James returns to the show to discuss the very prolific Steven Soderbergh. We parse two of his most acclaimed films for this first look into what makes Soderbergh more than just a "dabbler" whose filmography happens to be all over the map, mostly for better than for worse. The three of us discuss his Palme D'Or Winning debut, SEX LIES & VIDEOTAPE as well as his 2nd film in the year 2000, TRAFFIC, which lead to Soderbergh's first Academy Award for Best Director. In addition, Andrews reviews MY WEEK WITH MARILYN, Jim proclaims his adoration for MELANCHOLIA, while Patrick defends and stands by his praise for MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE. Things get a bit heated for the first time in a long time, since everyone had different reactions to two interesting films about mental illness. We elaborate a bit more on a couple other Soderbergh films after the two main reviews, but expect us to return to this man's work for a 2nd look possibly sometime late next year. About ten days before Christmas, our third returning guest, Kurt Halfyard of RowThree.com and TwitchFilm joins us to talk about a filmmaker that Patrick might very well despise although he's only seen one film (a film that Jim happens to love). The incredibly quirky Hal Hartley will be looked at, and although he's not a filmmaker everyone knows about, much is to be said about his love-it-or-hate-it style. Until next time, please send us your suggestions as well as any comments about Argento or any director we’ve discussed or will discuss on a future episode. Drop us a line if you’re a movie blogger/podcaster and would like a guest spot on the show to talk about a filmmaker whose work you admire (or despise).

In addition, Gabe reviews Spanish arthouse horror film, IN A GLASS CAGE, Jim talks about the sci-fi horror cyberpunk insanity of HARDWARE, and Patrick recently rewatched and reevaluated HOSTEL 2. We elaborate a bit more on a couple other Argento films as well and make plans to talk about another Italian horror master with Gabe for some time next year. The weekend after Thanksgiving, Andrew James of RowThree.com joins us to talk about a prolific and versatile filmmaker, Steven Soderbergh, a man who is known to put out two movies in one year!

Guest Kurt Halfyard from RowThree.com and Twitchfilm.com joins us to discuss prolific British filmmaker Michael Winterbottom. We all agree on Winterbottom's triumphantly energetic 24 Hour Party People but all three of us have different opinions on Code 46. We also have a very lengthy deconstruction of the majority of his filmography (although he's almost too prolific to where it's hard to see everything or keep up). There are a couple of brief in-house items and we elaborate on a couple other things we've watched this week including Ghostbusters II, The Swell Season documentary, and The Change-Up! Any thoughts on this episode, shoot 'em our way. And please be sure to visit our website so you can enter our $30 Amazon Gift Card contest. Entries are due by August 25th: directorsclubpodcast.com
