This week, the boys got conspiratorial again! We headed to 1974 to give Alan J. Pakula's “The Parallax View” a spin. Starring Warren Beatty, this political thriller about a journalist trying to uncover the secret conspiracy behind a senator's assassination, two of the co-hosts called this movie “great”, and one called it “fucking tragic”.

Odds and Ends: Honoring the dead for sure for real; we talk about the recent Apple TV hit Widow's BayFeature Film: Dipping back into Korean cinema with Kim Jee-woon's send up to spaghetti westerns, most specifically Sergio Leone's classic of almost the same name. It's like that turned up to 11 and way more anime, it's what Jee-woon himself calls a "kimchi western" which is, I have to say, very clever, my good sir.

This week, the boys head back to 1937 to discuss the real OG “A Star Is Born”. Produced by David O. Selznick right before he went into production on “Gone With The Wind”, he hired two Oscar winners, Janet Gaynor and Frederic March, to tell this classic rags-to-riches Hollywood story that inspired three more!

Sidney Lumet's 1964 Cold War “what-if” came out the same year as, but a few months after, “Dr. Strangelove…” (previous episode), but ohhhhh man does this movie feel prescient.

Devin & James are back in the Den with another trip (and we mean TRIP) around the world with a look at STRANGE INTERNATIONAL WESTERNS. America may have cornered the market on the genre of its own invention, but artists from around the world have always found inspiration in Wild West mythologies, and we have picked out a few of the wildest, weirdest, and downright most bizarre Westerns from around the globe.We start in 1964 Czechoslovakia with Oldrich Lipsky's highly-stylized musical satire on classic cowboys and capitalism, LEMONADE JOE. We couldn't ignore Italy, so next we look at the dreamlike nightmare that is Giulio Questi's Spaghetti Western, DJANGO KILL... IF YOU LIVE, SHOOT!, featuring Tomas Milian. Then we come closer to home with Alejandro Jodorosky's midnight masterpiece from Mexico, EL TOPO. We jump back across the pond to discover an underappreciated 1970 gem from the New German Cinema Movement, Roland Klick's DEADLOCK (co-starring a very sweaty Mario Adorf). Next we jump continents, and decades, for 2007's wild and unwieldy SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO, an ultra pop culture-infused oater from Japanese visionary, Takashi Miike. Finally, we take a ride with Kim Jee-woon's incredible South Korean Kimchi Western, THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD, his 2008 tribute to Sergio Leone set in 1930's Manchuria that feels more like a true Western than a lot of modern Westerns. Saddle up and keep your wits. It's gonna get weird.
This week, the boys grab a beer and check their home for cameras to see if they're actually trapped in “The Truman Show”! I think we're due for a sequel, right, Peter Weir? John is ready for it to be darker and more F-ed up. Would he still cast the guy from “Liar Liar”? You'll have to tune in!

Movie of the Year: 2006BrickThe Brick podcast episode of Movie of the Year arrives just in time to appreciate one of 2006's most audacious genre experiments. Ryan, Mike, and Greg are joined by Pete Wright of TruStory FM to dig into Rian Johnson's neo-noir debut, a film that transplants the hard-boiled world of Dashiell Hammett into the hallways and parking lots of a Southern California high school. Few films from this era take a bigger swing, and fewer still land it this cleanly.About Brick (2006)Brick is a neo-noir mystery thriller written, edited, and directed by Rian Johnson in his feature directorial debut. The film opened in New York and Los Angeles on April 7, 2006, distributed by Focus Features. It stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Brendan Frye, a teenage loner who pushes his way into the criminal underworld of his high school to investigate the disappearance -- and eventual murder -- of his ex-girlfriend Emily, played by Emilie de Ravin. The supporting cast includes Lukas Haas as the drug kingpin known only as the Pin, Nora Zehetner as the duplicitous Laura, Noah Fleiss as the enforcer Tug, and Richard Roundtree as a vice principal navigating the chaos from the margins.Johnson wrote the first draft in 1997 immediately after graduating from USC School of Cinematic Arts. He spent the next seven years trying to get it made, with every financier asking him to set it in college instead of high school. He ultimately raised approximately $450,000 from friends and family, shot the film in 20 days, and spent three months rehearsing with the cast beforehand. The score -- inventive and deeply atmospheric -- was composed by Johnson's cousin Nathan Johnson using traditional instruments alongside improvised ones including filing cabinets, kitchen utensils, and tack pianos, all recorded on an Apple PowerBook.The film drew on hardboiled classics, particularly the novels of Dashiell Hammett, and won the Special Jury Prize for Originality of Vision at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. It holds an 80% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and earned three stars from Roger Ebert, who called it a rich source of dialogue and behavior. You can read Ebert's full review at RogerEbert.com. Brick has since become a cult classic and a clear blueprint for Johnson's later work on Knives Out.Find the full cast and crew listing at Brick on IMDb.Guest Panelist: Pete WrightPete Wright is a podcaster, author, educator, and co-founder of TruStory FM, a podcast production network he has built over more than three decades in media. He has logged thousands of episodes across more than three dozen shows covering film, ADHD, creative process, brand storytelling, and the craft of audio production. His work spans journalism, corporate communications, and graduate-level teaching, where he spent fifteen years working with students on storytelling and media production.Among his best-known projects is The Next Reel Film Podcast, a deep-dive film discussion series that serves as his primary film-critical home. He also co-hosts Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast alongside Nikki Kinzer, an award-winning show with over a million annual downloads and 29 seasons of episodes since its 2010 launch. In 2024, Pete and Nikki co-authored Unapologetically ADHD: A Step-by-Step Framework for Everyday Planning on Your Terms, a practical guide grown directly from the podcast's community and themes. His debut science fiction novella, Lattice, was published in 2026. Pete's most recent podcast venture is Headstone, a personal series about legacy, memory, and the stories we leave behind. He is based in Portland, Oregon. This Brick podcast episode marks his first appearance on Movie of the Year.Brick Podcast Discussion: Noir in High SchoolThe central creative gamble of Brick is not simply that it applies film noir conventions to a high school setting. More precisely, it applies them without irony. Johnson made a deliberate choice to play every scene completely straight, and the cast follows his lead without a single wink at the camera. Consequently, the absurdity of the premise becomes the engine of the film's tension rather than its release valve.This Brick podcast opens with a foundational question: does the noir-in-high-school conceit actually work? The genre's grammar depends heavily on power asymmetry, corruption, and the lone investigator operating outside institutional structures. High school provides all three. Brendan's relationship with the vice principal mirrors the classic detective's uneasy truce with law enforcement. The Pin's basement headquarters functions as the smoky back room. The femme fatale and the enforcer play their archetypal roles without adjustment.Johnson drew specifically on the novels of Dashiell Hammett -- particularly the Continental Op stories -- and encouraged his cast to read Hammett rather than watch noir films. He wanted the stylistic choices to come from the source material, not from imitation of existing screen adaptations. That decision gives Brick a distinctive texture. Moreover, the dialogue mixes actual period noir slang with invented high school vernacular in a way that creates its own self-consistent world. As Roger Ebert noted, the story never fully clarifies itself while it unfolds, but it delivers a rich supply of behavior and incident along the way.Genre Bending: What the Brick 2006 Film Is Actually DoingBrick belongs to a specific 2006 moment when genre recombination was operating at a high creative pitch. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang had landed the previous year playing similar games with noir self-awareness. Sin City had arrived with a maximalist visual approach to the same source material. Brick chose a third path: minimal budget, straight-faced commitment, and an insistence that the formal constraints of the genre could do meaningful emotional work if you simply trusted them.The genre-bending discussion on this Brick podcast examines how Johnson uses the noir framework not as homage but as architecture. The structure of a hardboiled mystery -- the inciting mystery, the series of contacts, the betrayal, the revelation -- maps onto adolescent social hierarchies with surprising precision. Furthermore, the paranoia endemic to the genre translates naturally into the heightened social surveillance of high school life, where everyone watches everyone and information is currency.The Spaghetti Western and Anime InfluencesJohnson has cited Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns and Shinichiro Watanabe's Cowboy Bebop as visual influences alongside the noir literary tradition. That combination matters, because it explains why Brick never feels purely retro. The film's rhythm and its relationship to violence carry a different energy than classic noir. Notably, Johnson used shoes as a design element for each character, treating footwear as an immediate visual shorthand for who each person is. It's a small detail that reflects how thoroughly he thought through every layer of the film's visual language.Additionally, the score by Nathan Johnson uses invented instruments -- wine-o-phones, tack pianos, kitchen utensils -- to create an atmosphere that nods to classic noir without reproducing it. The result is a film that works as genre exercise, coming-of-age story, and tone poem simultaneously.The Treatment of Women in BrickNoir has always had a complicated relationship with its female characters, and Brick inherits that complication without fully interrogating it. Emily exists primarily as a body -- a mystery to be solved, a loss to be avenged. She drives the entire plot but occupies very little of the film's actual screen time. Laura is more present, but her function remains rooted in the femme fatale archetype: beautiful, manipulative, ultimately revealed as the architect of the tragedy.The Brick podcast addresses this directly. Does Johnson's decision to play the genre completely straight mean he also reproduces its blind spots uncritically? The case for the defense is that Brick is a formal exercise, and the female characters serve genre functions that the film deliberately signals as such. The case against is that signaling an archetype and interrogating it are different things, and Brick largely declines to do the latter.Moreover, the pregnancy subplot -- Emily is pregnant with Tug's child, a revelation that triggers her murder -- adds a layer of consequence to the female characters' bodies that the film handles with notable brevity. It functions as a plot mechanism more than a human reality. The discussion examines how this choice shapes the film's emotional center, which ultimately rests entirely with Brendan's grief and not with Emily's life or Laura's survival.Nevertheless, Nora Zehetner's performance as Laura earns genuine complexity within the constraints the script gives her. The hosts explore whether that performance transcends the archetype or simply executes it with exceptional skill.Rushmore: 2006 It BoysThe Taste Buds carve out space in this episode for a Rushmore segment dedicated to the It Boys of 2006 -- the young male actors whose stars were ascending in that specific cultural moment. Brick arrives at a fascinating point in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's career trajectory, before Inception and The Dark Knight Rises made him a mainstream anchor, when he was still operating in the cult-film

This week on Movie Mistrial, we ride into the dusty frontier with Sergio Leone's spaghetti western classic, For a Few Dollars More.Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef deliver magnetic performances in a film overflowing with tension, style, and Morricone's iconic score. It's western filmmaking at its most operatic.While visually stunning, some viewers may find its deliberate pacing and minimalist dialogue slower than modern action westerns.Join us as we ask: Is this Leone's most overlooked masterpiece?Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitterFacebook: http://tiny.cc/MistrialFBInstagram: http://tiny.cc/MistrialInstaVisit our website, www.moviemistrial.com, for more captivating episodes and to stay up-to-date with all things movies.

This week, the boys grab some beers and head to post-WWII America to watch nobody give AF about our war heroes in William Wyler's “The Best Years of Our Lives”. The highest-grossing movie since “Gone With The Wind”, this moving account follows several soldiers re-acclimating to civilian life in a world that has moved on without them. Thankless bastards. This movie rules. It's long, but it's awesome. John also talks about “Backrooms”. Grab a beer and join us! linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page! Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

WERBUNG | Nehmt am GEWINNSPIEL teil und zieht euch gemeinsam mit uns am 16.06. den neuen Film "THE FURIOUS" im Savoy Kino rein. Mehr Infos unter [Link weiter unten] /WERBUNG Lange im Sinn, nun endlich da: Willkommen zur 1. Folge HEIMKINO+. Mit SCREAM 7, MARTY SUPREME oder THE HOUSEMAID, da die gerade neu auf Blu Ray oder UHD erschienen sind. Und deswegen reden Antje, André wie Schröck zur Abwechslung mal nicht über die Filme an sich, sondern über die Scheiben, auf denen sie sich befinden. Darüber wie die Bild- oder Tonqualität ist, welche Extras enthalten sind, welche und wie viele Tonspuren oder Untertitel es gibt oder was sich anhand der Disc alles über den Film erfahren lässt. Doch weil wir so viel wie möglich zum Thema Heimkino abdecken wollen, soll es daneben auch noch um die Discs gehen, die wir uns privat zuletzt gekauft haben, um ein Fundstück der Woche (also eine besonders vergriffene, besonders günstig geschossene, besonders absurde Scheibe), das alle Drei mitgebracht haben, oder auch um einen ganz besonderen Schatz aus der Sammlung. Was bedeutet, wir reden auch noch über Hitchcocks DIE VÖGEL, über die DOLLAR-TRILOGIE von Sergio Leone, über HARD BOILED oder solch selten bisher thematisierte Titel wie das Regiedebüt ANTIVIRAL, den TV-Film PETER BENCHLEY'S CREATURE oder den Howard Hawks Klassiker TOTE SCHLAFEN FEST. Abgerundet durch gleich drei Gewinnspiele, da wir noch ein paar Blu Rays zu PRIMATE und RETURN TO SILENT HILL verlosen dürfen, wie auch noch mal auf unser Screening zu THE FURIOUS hinweisen. So wünschen wir Euch nun viel Vergnügen mit diesem Pilot, freuen uns über Euer Feedback und wissen aber auch, dass wir noch einiges justieren können. In diesem Sinne: bleibt so gesund wie gut drauf und habt ein schönes Wochenende. Rocket Beans wird unterstützt von Capelight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
We've been so hard on the first Sergio Leone entry on the list that at one point we banned ourselves from talking about it. Do we feel the same about this one? Spoiler alert: no. We talk about westerns, progress, trains, revenge, Bronson, and ponder what the hell Sergio Leone's deal was.Support us at our podcasting network, Podcastio Podcastius at https://www.patreon.com/podcastiopodcastius.

This week, the boys have a blast getting political, discussing 1969's “Z”. This French-language movie was filmed in Algeria about a true story in Greece, and it feels like it could be 2026.

This week, the boys get all Tom & Huck and head to the Mississippi River to discuss Jeff Nichols' “Mud”. The random year generator spun 2013, and we decided to follow up our recent “Take Shelter” episode to see how Nichols handled the McConaissance. What we didn't expect was finding some of the best youth performances ever by Tye Sheridan and Jacob Lofland in a Stand-By-Me-Meets-Huckleberry-Finn narrative. We were a little split on our overall takeaways, but boy did we appreciate the journey. linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page! Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

Hai Netflix e vuoi migliorare il tuo italiano? Esistono film e serie TV in italiano perfetti per imparare dal divano di casa, adatti a ogni livello, dal principiante assoluto al più avanzato. In questo articolo trovi sei consigli — 3 film e 3 serie TV per ogni livello, dal A1 al C2 — con spiegazioni su come usarli nel modo più efficace per migliorare la comprensione orale, arricchire il vocabolario e abituarti ai diversi accenti italiani. Migliori Serie TV e Film Italiani su Netflix Come Usare Netflix per Imparare l'Italiano Prima di entrare nei consigli specifici, una regola valida per tutti i livelli: usa sempre i sottotitoli in italiano, non nella tua lingua. Se usi i sottotitoli nella tua lingua, stai solo leggendo una traduzione e non stai imparando nulla di nuovo. Con i sottotitoli in italiano, invece, associ i suoni alle parole scritte — un esercizio preziosissimo a qualsiasi livello. Man mano che il tuo livello migliora, puoi progressivamente ridurre l'uso dei sottotitoli fino a guardarli senza alcun aiuto. Livello A1 — Film: "4 Metà" (2021) Al livello A1 — principiante assoluto — la domanda più comune è: «Ha senso guardare qualcosa in italiano se capisco pochissimo?» La risposta è sì, a patto di scegliere il contenuto giusto. E il contenuto giusto per questo livello è 4 metà, una commedia romantica italiana originale Netflix del 2021, diretta da Alessio Maria Federici e interpretata da Ilenia Pastorelli, Matilde Gioli, Giuseppe Maggio e Matteo Martari. Di Cosa Parla Due amici invitano a cena quattro single — due uomini e due donne — e si chiedono: esiste davvero l'anima gemella? Il film racconta le storie di queste quattro persone in due realtà alternative, mostrando come le coppie potrebbero formarsi in modi diversi. Niente crimini, niente misteri, niente dialetti difficili — solo storie d'amore, amicizia e vita quotidiana a Roma. Perché È Perfetto per il Livello A1 Il linguaggio è quotidiano, semplice e naturale — si parla di sentimenti, di lavoro, di amicizia, di appuntamenti, temi che aiutano a capire il contesto anche senza conoscere ogni parola. Le frasi sono brevi e chiare, senza costruzioni grammaticali complesse. L'accento è italiano standard, molto piacevole da ascoltare per chi è agli inizi. Il film dura solo 90 minuti — perfetto per non stancarsi troppo. Curiosità Linguistica Il titolo del film, «4 metà», gioca sull'espressione italiana «la mia metà» — che significa «il mio partner», letteralmente «la mia metà». L'idea è che ogni persona abbia una metà che la completa. È un'espressione romantica molto comune in italiano: «hai trovato la tua metà?» significa «hai trovato la persona giusta per te?». Livello A2 — Serie TV: "Incastrati" Al livello A2 — principiante esperto — capisci già le strutture di base dell'italiano e riconosci il vocabolario più comune. È il momento perfetto per iniziare con le prime serie TV. La serie consigliata è Incastrati, una comedy crime siciliana scritta, diretta e interpretata dal celebre duo comico Ficarra e Picone, disponibile su Netflix in tutto il mondo. Di Cosa Parla Salvo e Valentino, due tecnici della televisione, arrivano a casa di un cliente per un intervento e trovano un cadavere. Per paura di essere accusati, cercano di cancellare ogni traccia della loro presenza — e ovviamente le cose peggiorano sempre di più, in modo sempre più comico e assurdo. Perché È Perfetta per il Livello A2 I dialoghi sono brevi e le situazioni comiche aiutano a capire il contesto anche senza conoscere ogni singola parola. Gli episodi sono corti, ideali per chi si stanca facilmente di concentrarsi in una lingua straniera. Gli attori parlano in modo abbastanza chiaro, anche se si sente spesso il caratteristico accento siciliano — con i sottotitoli in italiano attivati, si capisce tutto senza problemi. Curiosità Linguistica In Sicilia si usa spesso l'esclamazione «minchia!» per esprimere sorpresa, stupore o irritazione. È una parola molto colorita e tipica del dialetto siciliano, che si sente spesso in questa serie. In altre regioni italiane viene usata di meno — è quasi un marchio di fabbrica siciliano. Livello B1 — Film: "Il Falsario" (2026) Al livello B1 — intermedio — capisci l'italiano nella maggior parte delle situazioni quotidiane, ma hai ancora bisogno di qualche aiuto con il vocabolario più specifico o i registri formali. Il film consigliato è Il Falsario, disponibile su Netflix dal gennaio 2026, diretto da Stefano Lodovichi e interpretato da Pietro Castellitto. Di Cosa Parla La storia è ambientata nella Roma degli anni '70, gli anni del terrorismo, della criminalità organizzata e dei grandi misteri italiani. Il protagonista si chiama Toni: arriva a Roma con il sogno di diventare un grande artista, ma il suo straordinario talento nel copiare alla perfezione i capolavori dell'arte lo trascina in un giro criminale sempre più pericoloso. Diventa il più grande falsario d'Italia, coinvolto con la Banda della Magliana e persino — secondo alcune ricostruzioni storiche — con il caso Aldo Moro. Perché È Adatto al Livello B1 Il linguaggio è vivace e diretto, con un vocabolario che va oltre il quotidiano: termini legati all'arte, alla criminalità e alla politica italiana degli anni '70 sono un ottimo modo per espandere le proprie conoscenze. I dialoghi sono chiari e il ritmo è sostenuto ma comprensibile. È visivamente bellissimo, pieno di atmosfera, e immerge in una Roma oscura e affascinante. Curiosità Storica e Linguistica La Banda della Magliana è stata una delle organizzazioni criminali più potenti della storia italiana, attiva a Roma negli anni '70 e '80. Il termine «falsario» viene da «falso» — chi produce cose false è un falsario. In italiano troviamo molte parole formate con questo stesso schema: «bugiardo» da «bugia», «traditore» da «tradire». Una volta capito il meccanismo, è facilissimo. Livello B2 — Serie TV: "Briganti" (2024) Al livello B2 — intermedio avanzato — hai già una buona padronanza dell'italiano e sei pronto per qualcosa di più impegnativo. La serie consigliata è Briganti, un originale Netflix del 2024, ambientata nell'Italia del Sud nel 1862, subito dopo l'Unità d'Italia. Di Cosa Parla La protagonista è Filomena, una donna di origini contadine che si ribella al marito violento, fugge nel bosco e si unisce a una banda di briganti alla ricerca di un leggendario tesoro nascosto dai Borboni. È una serie avventurosa e corale, che mescola il western all'italiana con il period drama storico e con temi modernissimi come l'emancipazione femminile e la resistenza contro l'oppressione. Perché È Consigliata al Livello B2 Il linguaggio è ricco e vario: si sente il dialetto del Sud Italia — calabrese, napoletano — mescolato all'italiano standard, un'ottima palestra per l'orecchio. I dialoghi hanno un ritmo incalzante, spesso sovrapposti nelle scene d'azione. Il vocabolario storico e militare — termini come «brigante», «latitante», «cedere il passo» — è molto specifico e interessante. È girata in Puglia, tra Lecce, Nardò e Altamura, con paesaggi che sembrano usciti da un film di Sergio Leone. Curiosità Storica Dopo il 1861 — anno dell'Unità d'Italia — il Sud fu occupato militarmente dall'esercito piemontese. Molti contadini del meridione, impoveriti e sfruttati, si ribellarono dando vita al cosiddetto fenomeno del brigantaggio. I briganti erano considerati criminali dallo Stato, ma eroi dal popolo. Il dibattito su quella pagina di storia è ancora vivo in Italia oggi. Livello C1 — Film: "È Stata la Mano di Dio" (2021) Al livello C1 — avanzato — capisci l'italiano in modo fluido, riconosci le sfumature e percepisci la differenza tra i registri e i dialetti. Il film consigliato è È stata la mano di Dio, originale Netflix del 2021, diretto da Paolo Sorrentino — il regista italiano che ha vinto l'Oscar con La grande bellezza. Candidato all'Oscar come miglior film straniero nel 2022 e vincitore di 4 David di Donatello, è considerato uno dei film italiani più importanti degli ultimi anni. Di Cosa Parla La storia è autobiografica e ambientata nella Napoli degli anni '80: Fabietto è un adolescente goffo e sognatore che vive in una famiglia straordinaria, caotica e piena di vita. Due eventi cambieranno tutto: l'arrivo di Diego Maradona a Napoli — che trasforma la città intera in un'esplosione di gioia — e poi una tragedia inattesa, che segnerà Fabietto per sempre e gli indicherà la strada verso il cinema. Perché È di Livello C1 Il film usa un napoletano autentico mescolato all'italiano standard — un mix linguistico denso, rapido e pieno di sfumature regionali che richiede un orecchio molto allenato. Il ritmo di Sorrentino è lento e poetico, con dialoghi carichi di sottotesti e riferimenti culturali profondi. I temi — il lutto, l'identità, il rapporto con Napoli, la vocazione artistica — richiedono una comprensione avanzata per essere pienamente apprezzati. È un film che non si guarda soltanto: si ascolta e si sente. Curiosità Culturale Il titolo si riferisce alla «Mano de Dios» — il gol segnato da Maradona con la mano durante i Mondiali del 1986, che lui stesso definì «un po' la mano di Dio, un po' la testa di Maradona». Per i napoletani, Maradona non era solo un calciatore — era una divinità. Quando arrivò a Napoli, la città intera si fermò. Questo film fa capire perché. Livello C2 — Serie TV: "Strappare lungo i Bordi" Al livello C2 — padronanza completa — capisci praticamente tutto e hai bisogno di qualcosa che metta alla prova non solo l'orecchio, ma anche la comprensione culturale e sociolinguistica dell'italiano di oggi. La serie consigliata è Strappare lungo i bordi, la serie animata di Zerocalcare, disponibile su Netflix. Zerocalcare è il nome d'arte di Michele Rech,...
This week, the boys teleport back to 1986, when Jeff Goldblum was awkward yet ripped and writing was weird, especially for women. Only our second David Cronenberg after “Crimes of the Future”, we dive into “The Fly”: the tropey writing, the B-movie plot outline done at an A-list scale with top-notch hair and makeup, and why we all walked away with different ratings for the movie.

This week, the boys head to Sicily to try and save cinema with 1989's “Cinema Paradiso”! This highly regarded film expresses the nostalgia of growing up in post-WWII Italy where a single movie theater was the only source of entertainment for a town. It ends with it getting torn to the ground, which is reason enough for us to grab some drinks and talk positively about the film, whether or not it's too nostalgic and sentimental, and how it reflects our feelings of today's cinema culture. linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!

El 23 de marzo de 2006, hace 20 años, fallecía de forma inesperada Eloy de la Iglesia, uno de los directores malditos del cine español. En este episodio le rendimos homenaje recordando su figura y su cine. Nuestra sección de villanos a los que nos encanta odiar pone el ojo esta semana en un malvado con botas y sombrero del Oeste: Frank, el personaje que interpretaba Henry Fonda en “Hasta que llegó su hora” de Sergio Leone. Hablamos de un nuevo canal de televisión dedicado enteramente al western y nos vamos de aventura por un río africano en una barcaza junto a Humphrey Bogart y Katharine Hepburn en “La reina de África” de John Huston.

This week, the boys drink beer and keep it positive as they head back to 2017 to discuss “Blade Runner 2049”. Avid fans of cinematographer Roger Deakins, you'll hear in-depth adoration and flogging of the man at the top of their Mount Rushmore, who's shot more films on previous episodes than any other DP! Dave loves him, and John just finished his book. They also JUST discussed Blade Runner in the Films of 1982 episode a few months ago, so this was the time to revisit. They also discuss the recent Oscars before setting up the film year 2017 and our featured conversation. Crack open a tinny and enjoy! linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!

The LAMB community chose the least Western western for this month's selection as MOTM. Not a spaghetti western but a kimchi western, from Korea, set in Manchuria, in the 1930s. "The Good The Bad The Weird" is a takeoff on the Sergio Leone film in many ways, but it is also vastly different. Howard Casner championed the film and hosts the discussion and he and Richard are joined by Matthew Simpson, for one wild ride across the far east, in western garb to talk about it. If you like Sergio Leone, Indiana Jones, Sam Rami and a lot of madcap action, then this film and the discussion are for you.
In this episode Kieran and I talk about Sergio Leone's gangster epic, 'Once Upon a Time in America'. A long old film giving us much to discuss, both positive and negative. (Expect comparisons to 'Goodfellas' and 'The Godfather' from the outset)
This week, the boys headed to 1970 to the new decade of the new wave of American independent cinema! Bob Rafelson's “Five Easy Pieces” established the behavior-driven, theme-over-plot indie movies that paved the way for the best era for indies. Jack Nicholson is a badass (asshole) prodigy-turned-roustabout looking to find himself in people he's willing to screw over in Bob Rafelson's seminal movie. After John fires off some mini-reviews and news, we set up the film year of 1970 before we drink beers and try to keep our conversation positive! linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!

This week, the boys grabbed some beers and kept it positive while they fired off some mini-reviews before featuring a conversation about “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. As part of the random year generator series, 2004 was a great year for movies, with over 50 $100m movies and many likable ones. While “Eternal Sunshine” didn't gross in the top 70, it may be the year's greatest film. Props to Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman for giving Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet some juicy roles and incredibly shifty worlds! As for the mini-reviews, the boys can't speak highly enough of Gore Verbinski's “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die”, starring Sam Rockwell, and the intense and captivating “If I Had Legs I'd Kick You”, and the Academy Award-nominated “It Was Just An Accident”.

The boys thought the San Francisco Super Bowl was so boring, we checked ourselves into Alcatraz! The random year generator spun 1979, a year we've visited in the past (Apocalypse Now Director's Cut, The Warriors, 1941, Mad Max), and “Escape From Alcatraz” was the perfect movie for this frigid February weekend. After John gave us a mini-review of “Send Help”, we grabbed some beers and discussed! linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page! Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

On the latest episode of A Life In Movies, the movie interview podcast by All The Right Movies, we're talking to legendary actor James Woods.With a career spanning five decades, James has built a reputation as one of cinema's most compelling performers. An actor drawn to morally complex characters and unafraid to inhabit the darkest corners of human nature. A two-time Academy Award nominee with multiple Emmy wins to his name, his filmography reads like a masterclass in intensity.Speaking to us from Los Angeles, James takes us through the key moments that shaped his remarkable career. From his early days studying Political Science at MIT before the pull of acting proved too strong, to his film debut working with the legendary Elia Kazan. We dive deep into five landmark films: David Cronenberg's prophetic body-horror Videodrome, Sergio Leone's epic Once Upon a Time in America opposite Robert De Niro, Oliver Stone's raw and urgent Salvador (which earned him his first Oscar nomination), the action-comedy The Hard Way with Michael J. Fox, and Martin Scorsese's Casino where he brought the slippery Lester Diamond to unforgettable life.James also shares insights into his approach to those morally ambiguous characters that have become his trademark, his acclaimed television work, the compelling story behind his Executive Producer credit on Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer and his most recent artistic endeavour in music. A fascinating conversation with one of American cinema's most distinctive talents.Connect with ATRM: To join our fantastic community of film fans, support what we do, access our archive, listen to exclusive episodes, and a whole lot more, become an ATRM patron:Join the ATRM Community We're available on any podcast platform:Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyYouTube: Subscribe to our channelWe're across all major social channels too:Twitter: @ATRightMoviesInstagram: @allthe_rightmovies Facebook: Join our movie groupBluesky: @alltherightmovies.comTikTok: @alltherightmoviesWebsite: alltherightmovies.com
