Our 90s Comedies series continues with a dip into black satire. In today's episode, we're talking about Stacy Title's 1995 film ‘The Last Supper.' Is it more relevant than ever with its take on divisiveness? Or does it not work at all? Tune in to find out!
With an Oscar nomination under her belt for a short film and connections to many in Hollywood, Stacy Title was in a great position to make her first feature. She and screenwriter Dan Rosen made a black comedy that tackled liberals and conservatives along with bombastic one-way thinking with their collaboration The Last Supper. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our 90s Comedies series with Title's 1995 film The Last Supper. More Than Biblical References The title clearly connects the film to Biblical stories, so does that make this film more of a parable? Crafting a black comedy can be very challenging as often, we're left with few people to root for. That's certainly the case here as everyone ends up fairly despicable, even if they find a form of salvation in the end. So with all of that, how well does Title bring this film to fruition? And what about the actors? We have Cameron Diaz, Ron Eldard, Annabeth Gish, Courtney B. Vance, and Jonathan Penner as our five liberal grad students who set the story's deadly dinners into motion. Their guests include Bill Paxton, Charles Durning, Mark Harmon, Jason Alexander, and Ron Perlman. The actors are all bringing their own thing to the parts, but are they given enough to work with? Or perhaps as a parable, the script is giving them – and by extension us – enough to work with so we can watch the story unfold and deliver its message. To the point of the message, is it as effective as we'd like? Does the ‘if you could travel back in time, would you kill young Hitler before he could do anything' question posed several times throughout the film deliver the point of the film? How about that last dinner with Ron Perlman's Rush Limbaugh-esque character? And what about the story thread with Nora Dunn's sheriff as she tries to find a missing girl? What's that doing for the story? Is it as effective as we want it to be? Could it have been used for better effect? Stacy Title's Battle with ALS Unfortunately, Stacy Title was diagnosed with ALS in 2017, and it took her from this life in 2021. She never had as robust a film career as she likely deserved, though she still managed to make some interesting projects. We chat a bit about her and the struggles she had. We also touch on the commitment her husband Penner had in supporting her through this difficult time. Wrapping up All in all, it's an interesting film that generates some interesting conversations. Did it work better in 1995 than it does today? Or perhaps does it feel more relevant today than it did then? Would it work as a play now if updated? Or would that fall as flat as the film does for some modern eyes? There's a lot to talk about here and we have a great time digging into it. So check it out then tune in.

Welcome to Kids Pod, a podcast where kids get to ask adults the questions they really want to know. Nothing is too rude to ask. You send in the questions and our adults will give kids the answers they want to hear. Imagine what life would be like if you couldn't move. How would it feel if you couldn't talk or walk or even breathe without a machine? This is every day life for Stacy Title. Stacy lives with ALS. This is a disease sometimes also know as Lou Gehrig's disease. Stacy wasn't born with ALS so living this way is something she has had to learn. Jonathan Penner is Stacy's husband and her main carer. He is going to talk to us today about what life is like when you are paralysed. We wanted to give Stacy a chance to speak in this podcast too, so that you can hear how patient she and Jonathan have to be. When we get to this section you might have to be a bit patient too as it can be hard for Stacy to communicate. You can read more about Stacy and Jonathan's story at stacyandjonathan.com.

Ummmmm. What. That’s all we have to say about 2017’s, “Bye Bye Man.” This was bad, bad, garbage ya’ll. The acting was a mess, the writing was a mess, and the editing was a mess. Join us as we talk the bye bye man as a matchmaker, demon education, and the point of this movie. Be sure to rate and subscribe or we’ll leave a nightstand and two coins at your house summoning the stupidest demon to date. Stats/info: 2017, directed by Stacy Title, starring Douglas Smith, Cressida Bonas, and Lucien Laviscount (Intro music from https://www.free-stock-music.com)
Wow this movie was so bad it literally broke our internet! It also appears that even Doug Jones has bills to pay. This week the guys watched The Bye Bye Man. This film stars Douglas Smith, Lucien Laviscount, Cressida Bonas and Doug Jones (as the title character… of course) and is directed by Stacy Title. We apologize […]
Continuing with our Kung Fu-bruary series (which was picked by you, the listeners!), tonight's movie is Men from the Monastery (a.k.a. Disciples of Death)! I initially picked this movie because of just one scene that a friend told me about during a monthly film discussion - I knew absolutely nothing else about this movie other than that one scene. And while it is certainly a memorable scene, this movie was so much more awesome than I expected! There are certainly some flaws (most notably, pacing issues and the fact that the plot does tend to get a bit lost in the action....the awesome, awesome action), but the impressive fight scenes, serious plot (once it gets around to it), and characters that you genuinely care about...it's no wonder why Men from the Monastery (while not perfect) is one of Chang Cheh's stand-out films in the Shaw Bros. catalog!! So, join The Gargyle and The Chimerican as we discuss why we love Men from the Monastery as much as we do!! Since February is both Black History Month as well as Women in Horror Month, each episode in our Kung Fu-bruary series will start with segments honoring African Americans in cinema, as well as women in horror. For tonight's episode, we honor Dope and Dayveon - two coming-of-age movies with drastically different tones (but, both awesome in their own right!!). For Women in Horror Month, we honor Slumber Party Massacre and Stacy Title, director of... among other things... Hood of Horror (for an additional tie-in with Black History Month) and The Last Supper. Also, as we've done on the last few episodes, we continue to highlight the Chattanooga Film Festival - April 11-14. Tonight, we highlight that Mallory O'Meara's book, The Lady from the Black Lagoon, is available for pre-order on Amazon! We also remind you of the programming that has been announced so far: Joe Bob Briggs, Everything is Terrible, Shock Waves Podcast, Junkfood Cinema Podcast, a screening of The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and a presentation by author Mallory O'Meara. As a reminder, the CFF fundraiser to be able to provide classes and workshops for free during the festival is still going on!

On this week's episode, (Some of) The Worst of 2017 month continues with the stunningly bad horror film, The Bye Bye Man! Why in the world would people move into a house and use other people's old furniture that's been left there for years? What's the deal with these three friends and their living situation? And who honestly thought the design for this monster was scary/cool/worth looking at? PLUS: We need the prequel, Bye Bye Begins! The Bye Bye Man stars Doug Jones, Cressida Bonas, Lucien Laviscount, Douglas Smith, Michael Trucco, Jenna Kanell, Cleo King, Carrie-Anne Moss, Leigh Whannell, and Faye Dunaway (for some reason); directed by Stacy Title.
On this week’s Technicolor Jesus, Matt and Adam welcome Aisha Brooks-Lytle, Minister for Mission at Wayne Presbyterian Church and the organizing pastor at the Common Place in Southwest Philadelphia, to talk about the little known but incredibly prescient movie, The Last Supper. The Last Supper, directed by Stacy Title, takes place among a group of liberal Iowa grad students kill their neo-nazi dinner guest. After the initial shock of the murder wears off, the group eventually decides that they’ve done the world a favor. So begins a scheme wherein every week they invite some radically conservative activist into their home for dinner and murder before burying them in the backyard underneath the tomatoes. The Last Supper provides the backdrop for a lively conversation about the failure of political binaries, the dangerous call to follow Christ’s model, and the ways in which the pursuit of redemptive violence harms the perpetrator before it changes the world. In response to this week’s lectionary passages, the crew spends time debating the idolatry of the Israelites and takes turns trying to discern Jesus’ difficult parable about the wedding banquet. So, this week, pull up a chair at our dinner table The food is delicious, the conversation scintillating, and we promise not to poison you.
