They're back! The gruesome twosome return with a fresh ep as they wrap the Twin Cinema series with a modern classic from 2004, Dig! Join the Boys (menos uno) as they explore the tumultuous love-hate relationship between power poppin' alt rockers The Dandy Warhols and combustable psychedelic garage rockers The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Another week, another flick. This time around the Boys (menos uno) tackle The Devil and Daniel Johnston, a powerfully poignant portrait of an artist, his work, and his struggles with mental illness.

Attention all film heads and rock doc junkies, the Boys (-1) are back with a brand new episode focused on concert film and James Murphy shaving tutorial Shut Up and Play the Hits, which documents the 48 hours surrounding LCD Soundsystem's supposed "last" show.

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got a pair of songwriters separated by a generation, but united by a serious dedication to the craft: Carl Newman and Liam Kazar. Carl Newman—aka. AC Newman—is best known as the gravitational center of The New Pornographers, the lark of a supergroup that he started back in 1997 but that quickly found great enough success that it became his main gig. As you perhaps already know, the band also features the prodigious talents of Neko Case and Destroyer's Dan Bejar, though Newman does the vast majority of the songwriting. The band's latest album is 2019's In The Morse Code of Brake Lights, but as you'll hear—maybe for the first time?—in this conversation, they've spent part of the pandemic working on a new one. If that's not enough, the band's classic debut Mass Romantic has just been reissued on vinyl, and in November and December the New Pornographers will do a tour on which they perform both that album and 2005's Twin Cinema in their entirety. Newman has also been spending some time on Twitter in the past couple of years, and that's how he heard about Liam Kazar's song “Shoes Too Tight.” Another Talkhouse guest from this year, Eric Slick, tweeted about the song, and Newman heartily endorsed it. It's from Kazar's debut solo album Due North, which came out earlier this year on Kevin Morby's new label, Mare Records. And while it may be his first album as a solo artist, it's far from the first thing Kazar has done: He was part of the Chicago collective Kids These Days, which also featured Vic Mensa, and he's part of the band Tweedy with his pal Spencer Tweedy and Spencer's famous dad, Jeff. But Due North is the first time that Kazar has been front and center as a songwriter, and he sounds like an old soul. Newman and Kazar talk a lot about songwriting on this podcast, and they also get into social media, Liam's talented family, and lots more. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Carl Newman and Liam Kazar for chatting. If you liked what you heard, please follow Talkhouse on your favorite podcasting services and social media channels. Today's episode was produced by Melissa Kaplan, and the Talkhouse theme is composed and performed by the Range.

Joel DeVisser, Writer and Producer for the film "Gamechanger" joins us to talk about the movie and invites everyone to the free showing tonight and tomorrow.

They're baaaaack! The Boys return from their hiatus with another visit to the Great White North as they break down Canadian indie supergroup The New Pornographers' power poppin' third album Twin Cinema.

Episode 26 begins our new tournament to determine the greatest rock album of all time. This tournament covers albums from 2000-2019 and this episode focuses on the First Four play-in "games." The matchups for this episode are: TV On The Radio "Return To Cookie Mountain" (32) vs. Tame Impala "Currents" (33) The New Pornographers "Twin Cinema" (31) vs. The War On Drugs "Lost In The Dream" (34) MGMT "Oracular Spectacular" (29) vs. Coldplay "A Rush Of Blood To The Head" (36) My Morning Jacket "Z" (30) vs. Titus Andronicus "The Monitor" (35) Notes for this episode: "Twin Cinema" was released in 2005, not 2006. Also, it was incorrect to call Destroyer a solo project, it is a band albeit one with a rotating cast of musicians, with Dan Bejar always leading the way up front and center.

In a rather subdued (re: election night hangover) episode, Chad and Brian discuss the relationship between cinema and writing, photos and memory, and what seems to be Nabokov's relationship to movies as art. They also talk about the screwball comedy nature of Van and Ada being found out, discuss the way in which part II differs from part I, learn a bit about Ada's engagement, and head into part III, with grand hopes for how Nabokov's book will turn out. This week's music is "Twin Cinema" by The New Pornographers. (It should not have taken eight episodes to realize how fitting this song is for this season.) If you'd prefer to watch the conversation, you can find it on YouTube along with all our past episodes. You can watch episode 9 live next Wednesday where you'll also have the opportunity to ask questions, make comments, or correct inaccurate statements.

Kelsey unknowingly introduced me to this band in 2008. Twelve years later we're back to break down the New Pornographer's classic Twin Cinema.

On this Patreon-funded bonus episode, Kirk breaks down the two most fundamental aspects of music: rhythm and harmony. There's the Y-axis, harmony, which tells us which frequencies we're hearing in which combinations. And there's the X-axis, rhythm, which tells us how those frequencies are playing out over time. Much like most music, it's a mix of math and magic that takes many moons to master.

Maddy, Kirk, and Jason unite to talk about the many games they've been playing, including Resident Evil 2, Wargroove, Bloodborne, and Destiny 2. Then they take a deep dive into Kingdom Hearts (34:01), debating over whether the story is convoluted, analyzing why people love it so much, and dissecting the pros and cons of the brand new Kingdom Hearts III. Finally, off topic talk (1:06:45) on the Fyre Festival documentaries and Happy Endings. Music pick of the week: “Use It” by The New Pornographers from their 2005 album “Twin Cinema”

This week, Theo of Twin Cinema (who covered this film on their show as well) joins us to talk about the classic 1944 psychological thriller Gaslight! When a young newlywed (Ingrid Bergman, in an Oscar-winning performance) moves in with her controlling new beau Anton (Charles Boyer) into her late aunt's home, she finds herself the victim of psychologically controlling behavior meant to keep her from suspecting her husband of criminal activities. It's a cracking noir with beautiful performances from Bergman and Angela Lansbury (in her debut role), so check out our episode, along with our custom cocktail and drinking game!  (Thanks to our sponsor Cards Against Humanity as part of the Chicago Podcast Coop!)

Theo of our spinoff show Twin Cinema joins us once again this week, as we grab our binkies and talk about the cult 1973 horror film The Baby! Following the efforts of a lonely social worker to wrest control of an infantilized adult from his mother (looking every bit like late-period Joan Crawford) and his two groovy femme fatale sisters, The Baby is one of the craziest films we've seen in awhile.

Saddle up, pardners; Marshall of our sister show Twin Cinema joins us this week to talk about the classic 1961 Western The Magnificent Seven! A remake of Akira Kurosawa's seminal Seven Samurai, the John Sturges-helmed remake follows a ragtag group of outlaws (Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, James Coburn, and more) hired to defend a meek village from some evil Mexican banditos. Along the way, we share our custom cocktail and drinking rules! (Thanks to our sponsor Field Notes as part of the Chicago Podcast Coop!)

This week, Marshall, co-host of our Youtube show Twin Cinema, joins us to talk about Takashi Miike's bloody Japanese samurai flick 13 Assassins! When an evil, sadistic lord threatens to usher shogunate-era Japan into a new time of war, an old samurai gathers a team of 13 ronin to stop him. Does the film's nonstop action at the end justify the long stretch of talking and walking in the beginning? Find out what we thought, and check out our custom cocktail and drinking game! (Thanks to our sponsor Cards Against Humanity as part of the Chicago Podcast Coop!)

This week, we lean into the everlasting arms of special guest Adam Kempenaar of Filmspotting as we discuss the Expressionistic style and intriguing moral center of Charles Laughton's acclaimed 1955 noir thriller The Night of the Hunter!

This week, returning guest Theo (whose film review webseries Twin Cinema will be coming soon to the Alcohollywood Youtube Channel!) joins us to disassemble the cinematic mind-screw that is Shinya Tsukamoto's Tetsuo the Iron Man! Somewhere between the surrealism of Lynch and the body horror of Cronenberg, Tetsuo follows a terrified salaryman as his body is slowly supplanted with strange metal growths. We chat about the film's striking 16mm photography, the surrealist plot, and drill-does, while offering you our custom cocktail and drinking rules. Check it out!

Brian and Bill take a listen to one of their favorite albums, Twin Cinema (2005, Matador), a power pop masterpiece from that Vancouver, BC indie supergroup the New Pornographers. Bill waxes nostalgic about his days of driving a rusty old Jeep Cherokee across New Jersey to get to his part time job at a liquor store during his senior year of college. Brian revisits time spent seeing a new relationship develop and how a great live show from the New Pornographers helped. We also discuss great big group vocals, tremolos, and just how wrong allmusic.com's Stephen Thomas Erlewine really is as we make our way through this great album, track by track!

This week on Alcohollywood, we get a bit more obscure with Theo from Twin Cinema as we discuss William Friedkin’s lost 1977 thriller Sorcerer! An unfortunate casualty of the end of New Hollywood and the beginning of the Star Wars era of special-effects blockbusters, this remake of the classic French film The Wages of Fear sees a group of disparate expatriates (including Roy Scheider) in a small South American hellhole, tasked with a dangerous mission to transport unstable nitroglycerin 200 miles to put out an oil rig fire. What follows is a moody, tense, existential and deeply stylized journey through the bowels of hell and human frailty, resulting in one of the most personal and fascinating works of Friedkin’s career.

OSCAR SPECIAL: BIRDMAN (2014) W/TWIN CINEMA  FEBRUARY 20, 2015EPISODES, GUESTS, NEW RELEASE, SPECIALS Happy Oscar season, listeners! This week, Jared’s been “kidnopped” by Keanu Reeves once more, so our special guest Theo from Twin Cinema drops in to help Clint talk Best Picture nominee Birdman, along with returning guest Andrew Saenz! The latest film by Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu is a dizzying, one-shot wonder starring Michael Keaton as thinly-veiled Keaton allegory Riggan Thomson, a washed-up superhero actor attempting to gain cred as a serious artist by putting on his own show on Broadway, with all the drama, introspection and telekinesis that typically entails. It’s a good movie, but it does have its problems, from an uneven script to an exhausting desire to do too much at once. Still, we delve into those issues and more in detail in the episode below, along with our custom cocktail and drinking rules! (Stay tuned later today or tomorrow for a special Oscar-chat minisode where Clint and Julia go over the nominees!) ANNOUNCEMENT: Clint will also be joining the boys at MovieBoozer on Oscar night in a live stream discussion of the Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday, so be sure to head here when the festivities start for a very special summit of drinking/movies-related-website legends!
