Gather your bolt pistols and money satchels, friend-os! Andrew's pick for the film that made him a cinephile is the Coen Brothers' violent noir/western No Country for Old Men. He and Joshua partake in a ramble about evil, age, philosophy, movie tattoos, and most importantly, which one of them lost the most out of a coin toss (spoiler: it was Andrew). And then stayed tuned as they bring up One More Thing, going into the apocalyptic zoo novel The Island of Lost Things by Emma Sloley and the latest Big Thief album Double Infinity. Next week, special guest and The Take-Up contributor Cliff Froelich guides the hosts out of the west and into the dark, scuzzy streets of 70s New York with Taxi Driver, the classic Scorsese thriller that led to Froelich's own cinematic awakening. Let's hope that was the only thing that movie inspired him to become.Read on at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TheTake-Up.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and follow us @thetakeupstl on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

En este nuevo episodio de Estamos de Cine cambiamos de pantalla: dejamos la grande para sumergirnos en la pequeña. Repasamos las series que han marcado el verano de 2025 con un "Súper Filtro Rachel" cargado de títulos imprescindibles: la esperada temporada de Miércoles, la dureza de Mobland, la comedia deportiva de Stick: Cracks del golf y la desconcertante producción española Furia. Un episodio pensado para seriéfilos que no quieren perder detalle de lo que se cuece en la televisión y las plataformas Min 4: MIÉRCOLES: LOS ADAMS RETUERCEN SU ESENCIA La segunda entrega de Miércoles confirma el fenómeno global que Netflix alumbró en 2022. La joven heredera de la familia Addams, encarnada de nuevo por Jenna Ortega, regresa a la Academia Nunca Más para enfrentarse a un verano seriéfilo marcado por misterios más oscuros, giros sobrenaturales y un retrato aún más ácido de la adolescencia. Tim Burton mantiene la atmósfera gótica y la ironía corrosiva, pero la serie busca ahora mayor madurez narrativa, combinando thriller juvenil y comentario social con una estética que vuelve a hipnotizar. NOTA EDC SERIES: 3,75 Min 13: "MOBLAND: TIERRA DE MAFIOSOS" ¿LA SERIE DEL AÑO? El desenlace de Mobland cumple con lo prometido: una inmersión sin concesiones en los códigos de la mafia contemporánea, donde la lealtad y la traición conviven en cada plano. La serie, que arrancó como un retrato coral de familias enfrentadas por el control del negocio, alcanza en su último capítulo un clímax de violencia contenida y pactos imposibles. Con ecos del cine clásico de Scorsese y Coppola, pero adaptada al ritmo de las plataformas actuales, Mobland despide su temporada consolidándose como una de las propuestas más intensas y adictivas del año. NOTA EDC SERIES: 4 estrellas Min 18: FURIA: LA SENSACIÓN ESPAÑOLA DEL VERANO La ficción española Furia se ha convertido en uno de los títulos más desconcertantes y comentados del verano. Con un tono que oscila entre el thriller psicológico y el drama social, la serie explora el lado más oscuro de las emociones humanas y la violencia soterrada que late en nuestro entorno cotidiano. Su narrativa fragmentada, cargada de simbolismo y de atmósferas opresivas, desafía al espectador con un juego constante entre lo real y lo imaginado. No es una propuesta fácil ni busca serlo: Furia apuesta por incomodar, por sacudir conciencias y por abrir debate sobre el miedo, la rabia y la fragilidad de las certezas. NOTA EDC SERIS: 3,5 estrellas Min 27: "STICKS: CRACKS DEL GOLF": BUENROLLISMO A LO TED LASSO La comedia deportiva de Apple TV+ cierra su primera etapa confirmando que el golf también puede ser terreno fértil para el humor ácido y el retrato generacional. Stick: Cracks del Golf despide temporada con un episodio que mezcla lo disparatado y lo entrañable, jugando tanto con la sátira del mundo elitista del deporte como con la evolución personal de sus protagonistas. El desenlace mantiene la frescura y el ritmo irreverente que han convertido a la serie en una sorpresa de la temporada, a la vez que siembra dudas y expectativas sobre el futuro de sus personajes dentro y fuera del green. Un cierre divertido y con más de un guiño a la cultura pop que consolida la serie como comedia ligera pero con pegada. NOTA EDC SERIES: 3,5 estrellas Min 33: "DOS TUMBAS". Thriller de catálogo made in Netflix Dos tumbas, creada por Agustín Martínez y escrita bajo el seudónimo Carmen Mola, es un thriller de intriga ambientado en la costa malagueña que impacta por su intensidad dramática en apenas tres episodios. En él, la abuela Isabel (una imponente Kiti Mánver) se convierte en investigadora fronteriza cuando sus nieta y su amiga desaparecen sin respuestas oficiales. Lo que comienza como una indagación desesperada se transforma en una implacable cruzada de venganza, donde la justicia paralela amenaza con devorar a quien la busca. NOTA EDC SERIES: 2,5 estrellas MIN 39: NOVEDADES Y ESTRENOS:THE RUNAROUND (Prime Video) Prime Video desembarca este septiembre con The Runarounds, una serie juvenil musical creada por Jonas Pate (co-creador de Outer Banks). Con sus ocho episodios disponibles desde el primer día—estrenados el 1 de septiembre de 2025—la ficción plantea un verano crucial en Wilmington, Carolina del Norte. NOTA EDC: 3,5 estrellas MIN 43: MONTECRISTO (MOVISTAR +) ¿QUIÉN HA HECHO ESTO? Montecristo propone una versión contemporánea del clásico de Alexandre Dumas al trasladar la venganza del mítico Conde a las altas esferas del capitalismo global. William Levy encarna a Alejandro Montecristo, un carismático empresario cubano fundador de una startup tecnológica que irrumpe en la élite madrileña con una fortuna envuelta en misterio. En realidad, es Edmundo Dantés, traicionado y dado por muerto, de regreso para ajustar cuentas tras dos décadas. NOTAS EDC SERIES: 1 estrella MIN 46: "FALSO AMOR Y VENGANZA" (NETFLIX) also amor y venganza se distancia del formato pasivo de su antecesor (El Estafador de Tinder) para adoptar una narrativa activa y empoderadora. La docuserie despliega seis episodios de aproximadamente 40 minutos que siguen a Cecilie Fjellhøy —víctima emblemática del timador Simon Leviev— y a la investigadora privada Brianne Joseph en su cruzada por ayudar a otras víctimas de estafas románticas a recuperar sus vidas, su dignidad y, sobre todo, cerrar heridas profundas. Min 48: LA MEJOR BSO DE SERIE DEL VERANO PARA ÁNGEL LUQUE Nuestro experto en series, Anagle Luque, pone la aguja en el tocadiscos del verano para repasar las ficciones más sonadas y elegir la banda sonora que mejor lo ha definido. ¿Habrá que apostar por el pulso criminal de Mobland: Tierra de Mafiosos? ¿Se impondrá la oscuridad magnética de Miércoles? ¿O nos sorprenderá con una joya escondida en el catálogo infinito de las plataformas? Sea cual sea la respuesta, lo que está claro es que las series vuelven a escena. Subimos el telón y damos comienzo al 3x01 de Estamos de Cine – Edición Series en Radio Castilla-La Mancha.

For the final installment of our Summer of Sam series, Dave, Eric, and Brandon dive into Martin Scorsese's Casino. While the casting choices might feel like the “safe bet” for this director, the acting across the board is still phenomenal and had us hooked. We talk about the film's hefty runtime, its lackluster ending, and how its ultimate message is one of self-destruction—everyone in this story creates their own downfall. We also reflect on how Vegas itself has changed, no longer resembling the gritty, glamorous world Scorsese captured on screen. Despite its flaws, Casino is a movie everyone should see, and we had a blast breaking it all down.Stick around until the end for a round of Movie 20 Questions!Eyyyyyy, watch your self out there, nomads!

The Brow Month comes to a roaring, chaotic close with The Wolf of Wall Street, Martin Scorsese's three-hour carnival of excess, corruption, and quaaludes.We dive into DiCaprio's unhinged performance, Jonah Hill's teeth, Margot Robbie's breakout role, and why this film feels like Marty cutting loose in the wildest way possible. It's loud, it's offensive, it's hilarious, and it's undeniably Scorsese.We also want to note that our good friend Carlos M. De La Torre wasn't able to join us for this episode—he was missed at the table (and probably would've had the best Belfort impression).It's been one hell of a month, and we're closing it out at full throttle.

Beloved for decades of iconic performances, Billy Crystal has left an indelible mark on comedy and film. In this chat from December 2024, Billy sits down with Willie at NYU Tisch's Jack Crystal Theater, named for his late father, to reflect on his time studying under Martin Scorsese, the enduring legacy of When Harry Met Sally, and his acclaimed series, Before.

The Brow Month takes a surprising (and elegant) turn as we dive into The Age of Innocence, Martin Scorsese's lush adaptation of Edith Wharton's tale of love, restraint, and high-society daggers hidden behind polite smiles.This week, we unpack Scorsese's meticulous eye for detail, the heartbreaking performances from Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder, and why this “costume drama” still bleeds with the same intensity as his gangster films.Less blood, more lace—but make no mistake, Marty's still cutting deep.

In this episode of Spitball Media Podcast, we dive deep into the unsettling world of Weapons, unpack the first season of FX's sci-fi drama Alien Earth, and compare the directorial styles of Zach Cregger and Osgood Perkins. We also catch up on what we've been watching lately and break down the trailers for some highly anticipated films and documentaries, including AKA Charlie Sheen, Mr. Scorsese, Dreameater, Marty Supreme, Witchboard, and Americana. Whether you're into horror, sci-fi, or cinematic deep cuts, this episode is for you.

Our summer tradition at Here’s the Thing continues, as staff members choose their favorite conversations from the archives for our Summer Staff Pick series. This week, we revisit Alec’s conversation with Thelma Schoonmaker, the legendary editor behind every Martin Scorsese film since Raging Bull. Known for her warm, unassuming presence, Schoonmaker has shaped some of cinema’s most intense and iconic moments—earning three Academy Awards and seven nominations along the way. She talks to Here’s the Thing host Alec Baldwin about Scorsese’s pet peeves, what it’s like to “create” violence, and the woman she credits with giving her the “greatest life in the world.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Brow Month rolls on as we head back to where it all started—Mean Streets, Martin Scorsese's gritty, raw, and deeply personal dive into the New York underworld. This is Scorsese before the Oscars, before the epics—just restless energy, street-level drama, and a young De Niro already stealing scenes.We break down the film's rough-edged charm, the Catholic guilt simmering under the surface, and how Mean Streets planted the seeds for everything from Goodfellas to The Irishman.It's messy, it's loud, it's pure Scorsese—and the brows are already in full power mode.

Old Cinema! New Cinema! Here they are, together! Ellis and Corbs talk about "Hugo," Martin Scorsese's honestly conspicously excellent family movie about a an orphan, a great filmmaker, and the open wounds of World War One. Topics: how exactly is Scorsese so good at making a special effects extravaganza, the 3D moment, fated to fail, color, and Scorsese's ability to bring a wide range of techniques to the table.  Read a fascinting article about Rave Culture in Britain here.

This week on The WatchTower Film Podcast, we're officially launching The Brow Month—our deep dive into the wild, legendary world of Martin Scorsese. And there's no better place to start than Goodfellas—the mob movie that redefined the genre (and the tracking shot).We break down the film's electric style, unforgettable characters, cocaine-fueled chaos, and why Scorsese's fingerprints are all over modern cinema. From freeze frames to mob betrayals, it's fast, funny, brutal, and endlessly rewatchable.Just don't ask how many takes the Copacabana shot took. We're talkin' here.

Get ready to pour yourself a cocktail, put on an old opera record, and inject yourself with a chemical compound that stretches the bounds of death in a terrifying fusion of science and art, because the crew at Box Office Pulp is back on their wax bullshit with a commentary track for Sergio Stivaletti's Fulci-by-another-name fable, 1997's Wax Mask. The legendary special effects master responsible for the Demons franchise only ever directed a single feature, and this slasher by way of a giallo by way of a Wax Museum mystery has been unfairly forgotten by even the most stalwart horror faithfuls.

This month we're diving into the fresh and relevant debate of Martin Scorsese versus Marvel/Superheroes/Thrill Rides and deciding a definitive winner. See the video here: https://youtu.be/w_nDobUe9ogSupport us on http://www.patreon.com/reactionshots

Film Overview Title: Eddington (2025) by Ari Aster Setting: Small-town New Mexico during the COVID-19 pandemic Premise: Tension and division between a local sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and the town's mayor (Pedro Pascal), reflecting broader cultural and social fractures in America. Themes: Polarization, the influence of social media, performative activism, the corporatization of crisis, and the psychological weight of 2020. Cast & Performances Joaquin Phoenix (Sheriff Joe Cross): Widely praised for his layered, committed performance. Considered perfect for the role. Pedro Pascal (Mayor Ted Garcia): Serves as a foil to Phoenix's sheriff. Also well-cast, though not a co-lead. Emma Stone: Mixed feelings about her casting due to age and tone. Some discussion of alternative casting. Austin Butler: Divisive but ultimately defended. His character is seen as representative of evangelical or conspiracy-driven youth. A recurring homeless man character is discussed as a possible metaphor for society's ignored truths or the prophetic outsider. Cinematography & Technical Merits Director of Photography: Darius Khondji (corrected after initially being misattributed to Bruno Delbonnel) Visuals praised as among the best of the year—shot in New Mexico using real locations, lighting used to evoke horror pacing and psychological tension. Stylistic comparisons to Hereditary and Seven. Return of Ari Aster's visual motifs: isolation, daylight-to-night transitions, and symbolic elevation (e.g., houses on hills). Genre & Stylistic Notes Described as: “Not quite a horror film, but horror-influenced” A blend of satire, tragedy, psychological thriller, dark comedy, and drama Compared to: No Country for Old Men (tone and landscape) Robert Altman's Nashville (ensemble structure and social chaos) King of Comedy and Taxi Driver (Scorsese comparisons in the spoiler section) Rejection of Coen Brothers comparisons as too simplistic Thematic Analysis (Spoiler Section) Fragmentation of Reality: The main theme is how social media algorithms and performative digital culture drive people apart. Bothsides-ism: The film avoids heroes or villains; it's more about the system manipulating everyone. Performative Activism: Especially embodied in the youth protest scenes—young people react to national injustices despite their local irrelevance. Corporate Exploitation: A data center being built in the town is the real power move while townsfolk are distracted by culture wars. The Sheriff as a Symbol: Joe Cross embodies both traditional authority and the poisoned populism of social media-age politics. Final Acts of Violence: Symbolize collapse under social pressure and loss of moral compass. ⭐️ Ratings Michael: 4 out of 5 stars – “Bold, sharp, close to perfect…” Dave: 4 out of 5 stars – “Difficult but essential viewing… very funny, deeply human…”

In this episode, we cover Bringing Out the Dead, Martin Scorsese's overlooked gem that dives into the life of a New York City paramedic. Join The Dale, Cea, and Twan as we explore how Scorsese turns burnout into spiritual warfare and chaos into dark poetry. Nicolas Cage stars as Frank Pierce, a man unraveling under the weight of lives he couldn't save and ghosts he can't shake. Set in the drug-fueled streets of 1990s Hell's Kitchen, the film pulses with exhaustion, guilt, and hallucinatory dread.

In this fantastic episode of The Artists podcast, we are joined by the legendary Sir David Sterritt—renowned film critic and scholar, celebrated for his extensive writings on Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard, and more recently, Martin Scorsese. Sterritt, who previously appeared in Episode 89 where we explored Hitchcock, Godard, and Kiarostami (a must-listen if you haven’t already!), returns to unpack the essence of Pure Cinema—a term often used but rarely understood in its full cinematic depth. He’s written for esteemed publications like MovieMaker, Sight and Sound, and Cinéaste, and his insights offer a compelling journey through both classic and modern film thinking.

Episode Notes In this episode of Workplace Hugs, Shannon and Rami explore how the revolutionary filmmakers of the 1970s - like Scorsese, Spielberg, and Coppola - transformed Hollywood by taking creative risks and challenging studio authority. They discuss what modern creatives can learn about balancing artistic vision with commercial success, and why collaboration beats ego every time.

Grab your cricket bat, raid the fridge for a cold one, and head to the Winchester, because this week, the Born to Watch crew are diving deep into one of the smartest and most beloved horror-comedies of all time with their Shaun of the Dead (2004) review.With G-Man MIA (probably off playing Tekken in the shed), Matt and Sir Dimmy hold the fort to break down Edgar Wright's 2004 cult classic that reanimated the zombie genre and redefined the zombie flick with a pint of bitter and a dash of British wit.In this week's episode, the lads explore how Shaun of the Dead walks the tightrope between gore and giggles, creating a film that works just as well as a slacker comedy as it does a horror satire. Damo admits to confusing it with The World's End (don't worry, he's new here), while Matt reveals he's seen the film nearly 20 times and could watch it on loop, especially with a packet of pork crackle and a Pepsi Max.From the iconic walk to the shop (twice), to the Queen-backed zombie beatdown in the Winchester, the boys dissect every major scene with the kind of reverence usually reserved for Tarantino or Scorsese. They also dig into Simon Pegg's breakout role as the titular Shaun, Nick Frost's glorious (and infuriating) turn as Ed, and the supporting cast of Britcom legends including Lucy Davis, Dylan Moran, and the ever-reliable Bill Nighy.They ask all the important questions:Is Shaun actually a zombie at the start of the film, who awakens into humanity?Could a pub really be the best place to ride out the apocalypse?And how the hell did Shaun survive that crowd of flesh-eaters outside the Winchester?Damo goes full philosopher, questioning the human condition in the age of smartphones (spoiler: we're all zombies), while Matt wonders why anyone would throw priceless vinyl at the undead.But it's not all jokes and Queen sing-alongs, the episode also touches on the emotional beats of the film, like Shaun's relationship with his mum and stepdad, the heartbreak of watching loved ones turn, and the surprisingly poignant ending that still manages to sneak in one last gag.The boys also fire off rapid takes in “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly,” with highlights like:The perfect pacing and editing of the dual morning walk sequencesThe underappreciated brilliance of the bizarro “mirror crew” sceneAnd Ed's ability to be the most annoying – yet somehow still likeable – flatmate in cinema historyThrow in some choice reviews from critics (both good and hilariously bad), box office trivia, and the revelation that director Edgar Wright used just $4 million to craft a film that grossed over $30 million and launched a thousand pub-themed Halloween costumes, and you've got yourself one hell of a breakdown.Oh, and yes, the team briefly wonders why cricket bats are now over $1,000, a real horror show.So whether you're a diehard fan of the Cornetto Trilogy or new to the undead scene, this episode is a must-listen.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation:Is Shaun of the Dead the best zombie comedy ever made?Would you ride out the apocalypse in a pub? And what's the best record to throw at a zombie?#BornToWatch #ShaunoftheDead #EdgarWright #SimonPegg #ZombieComedy #BritishHumour #HorrorComedy #NickFrost #CornettoTrilogy #MoviePodcast

Topics covered include: Steven Soderbergh's greatest commentary tracks, the first Mission Impossible as a perfect film, writing movies for actors not executives, Ari telling Bill the idea for Eddington outside of an Italian restaurant, Bill laughing at the sound of Toni Collette's head falling off in Hereditary, being intuitive and impulsive, David Lynch as a great spiritual teacher, using genre film as a shield, Ari's deep research process in New Mexico before making Eddington, the genius comedy of Christopher Morris, walking into the meat grinder, unmade horror scripts, Bill's cameo in Beau is Afraid, going beyond the breaking point, Steven Spielberg as the king of shot sequencing, childhood obsession with screenplays, Sturges on Sturges, Bill filming shorts as a kid with his sister in Tulsa, meeting Scorsese at SNL, and 50+ films that shaped them. 

This week on Cinematic Underdogs, we're betting itall on a suburban fever dream of bad decisions, illicit blackjack, and cameo-toting blowtorches—that is right, we're rolling our dice on The House, a 2017 comedy wherein Amy Poehler and Will Ferrell turn middle-class desperation into high-stakes chaos.The plot is as plain as poker; When their daughter's collegefund vanishes, two mild-mannered parents do what any rational soon to be empty nesters would do: open an illegal underground casino in their neighbor's basement. Imagine Breaking Bad meets Vegas Vacation, with PTA moms, home improvement mishaps, and Will Ferrell slowly unraveling into a budget Scorsese mob boss.Simplistic yet promising on paper, The House feels asarchitecturally trite as your average suburban lot. It plays out as the latest, lukewarm hedge in the studio comedy genre—confiding in recycled gags, a flimsy plot, and the kind of cheap laughs that scream "first draft." Will Ferrell, once a master of absurdist escalation, seems stuck in a creative holding pattern—the same shouting and man-child meltdown, dressed up in a different movie. There's a sense that the Semi-Pro/Blades of Glory/OldSchool formula is wearing thin. We get it: take a well-known premise, throw in some improv, ante-up with some unhinged hijinks, and double down with slapstick shenanigans, then hope it lands. Here, it doesn't. It's not unwatchable (we both enjoyed it as a vapid diversion); but it's utterly uninspired — another reminder that the golden era of Ferrell-led comedies, and 21st century theatrical comedies, are long past their prime and stuck in a rut.More direly, we discuss how the odds of a revival of thisflailing genre look increasingly grim, as lackluster efforts lead to waning box office receipts. Who will break the vicious cycle? Will someone soon hit the jackpot and rake in the next decade of theatrical releases? Join us as we theorize how the Hollywood hot hands of our adolescence have grown lazy, and whether the chips are too stacked up against a once surefire sanctuary of deep belly laughs and winning escapism for a comeback.

In this episode, we dive into The Wolf of Wall Street and break down how Martin Scorsese uses brilliant filmmaking to distract the audience from just how terrible these characters really are. We explore how the film mirrors the lifestyle it portrays—fast, loud, and reckless—and how that chaos makes it easy to ignore the darkness underneath. We also analyze Jordan Belfort's character, the outrageous tone, and the psychological tricks Scorsese uses to keep you entertained while showing you the truth.Chapters:00:00:00 How Scorsese distracts you from the debauchery00:05:41 How the beginning sets the stage for insane story00:10:56 Stratton Oakmont's recruitment 00:12:27 The metaphor Scorsese used in penny stock phone call00:15:53 The Jonah Hill scene that reveals the thought process of everyone00:18:41 How Scorsese uses the frame to show Jordan's "superior" life00:20:04 DiCaprio is the only man to pull this movie off00:24:29 The fight against being an ordinary man00:27:40 The amount of iconic scenes in incredible00:29:02 The genius use of a real event as a thematic moment00:30:49 The collapse of Jordan Belfort00:37:15 What was Scorsese trying to say at the end?00:40:43 Last point on distracting you from Jordan's losses00:41:51 The ending00:44:10 Jonah Hill took a pay cut to make this movie00:46:20 Our official rating00:53:34 Cool behind the scenes story of Margot Robbie00:56:41 Final thoughts01:00:29 Cue the music

As chatbots continue to evolve, Lesley Stahl reports from Nairobi, Kenya, on the growing market of “humans in the loop” – workers around the world who help train AI for big American tech companies. Stahl speaks with digital workers who have spent hours in front of screens teaching and improving AI, but complain of poor working conditions, low pay and undertreated psychological trauma. Correspondent Jon Wertheim journeys by boat (and winch) into the world's smallest – and unlikeliest – state: the Principality of Sealand. Just off the English coast, and roughly the landmass of two tennis courts, it boasts a full-time population of one. It was built during World War II as a nautical fort, and later repurposed as a “pirate radio” station under its monarchs, the Bates family. Wertheim takes a tour of this micronation and its history of piracy, coups, countercoups and rogues. The name Werner Herzog may not be as recognizable as Spielberg or Scorsese, but over the last six decades, the German filmmaker has had a profound and far-reaching influence on the world of cinema. He's made over 70 features and documentaries, which are often dream-like explorations of nature's power, human frailties and the edges of sanity. Correspondent Anderson Cooper sits down with the enigmatic director to discuss his films, and his other roles as writer and actor.

The first episode of this season of Movie Mindset is free for all listeners as always. To listen to the rest of the season, subscribe at www.patreon.com/chapotraphouse When you love movies, you've got to watch them. There's no other way…Movie Mindset Season 3 commences with our first ever single feature on the most referenced movie in Chapo Trap House history: Martin Scorsese's masterpiece Casino. Will and Hesse are joined by Felix to take a kaleidoscopic and dizzying dive into the inferno of American greed that is Las Vegas. Anchored by a triumvirate of all career great performances from Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci in FULL PSYCHO MODE, Casino is by equal turns hilarious and stomach turning and stands alone as Scorsese's grandest and most generous examination of evil and the tragic flaws that doom us all. Should you listen even if you haven't seen this movie? Why take a chance? At least that the way we feel about it.
