POPULARITY
"Yippie-ki-yay, motherfucker!", een van de meest geciteerde zinnetjes uit de filmgeschiedenis. Je hoort het, en je voelt de kerstwarmte meteen opzwellen. Je ziet Bruce Willis meteen opdoemen in een viezig hemdje, met een dikke gun in zijn hand, en alles wat ook maar een klein beetje Duits klinkt is zijn leven onzeker. Die Hard is een icoon in de filmgeschiedenis, daar kunnen we het over eens worden. Documentaireregisseur Suzanne Raes verwelkomt ons bij haar thuis, en nodigt ons uit om mee te denken over de vraag: in hoeverre is Die Hard nou een rasechte kerstfilm? Ze maakte prachtfilms als Hou Me Vast - De Dijk, 0.03 Seconden en het Gouden Kalf-winnende De Tegenprestatie. En op het afgelopen IDFA-festival in november ging MS in première. In de film komt de New Yorkse agent John McClane (Willis) een beetje per abuis terecht op het kerstfeestje van het bedrijf van zijn vrouw Holly, terwijl ze al een tijdje uit elkaar zijn. Een groep Duitsers met geweren bestormt het gebouw en gijzelt de boel. McClane kan zich verschuilen, maar kan hij ook een einde maken aan deze wanpraktijken? Niet als het aan opperschurk Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) ligt... En verder gaat het over: stomme kerstcrackers met glühwein, filmmarathons voor de hele familie met kerst en de wonderbaarlijke acteur Bruce Willis.

Seasons may change, winter to spring, but we love this movie until the end of time! Our movie musical for the week is the overwhelming Baz Luhrmann mélange of major Romantic operas: Moulin Rouge! It’s hard not to love this glitter-covered jukebox musical as it takes us through a rollercoaster of emotions and pop song medleys. Join Alex and Daisha as they discuss how the modernity of the movie works well with the turn of the century setting, the music (of course), and how the movie handles its many themes, including the bohemian lifestyle, sickness, and jealousy. Do you think Moulin Rouge! is spectacular spectacular? Let us know your thoughts on Facebook or Twitter. Enjoy the show!

YouTube channel ScreenPrism actually just made a video essay about Nicole Kidman and her unique screen persona, just like we were talking about. This couple is...actually kinda cute covering “Come What May”? The Broadway musical is all about “Beauty” this week… An interesting history of the actual Moulin Rouge dance hall and Toulouse-Latrec's paintings.

This is not a love story, but it may be the most relatable romantic comedy ever made if you have a history of failed relationships like Luke & Rachel do. Listen in to discover how (500) Days of Summer does away with the worst romcom tropes and succeeds by being something of an anti-love story instead. Also, Summer is certainly not a Manic Pixie Dream Girl and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
