This week, Amy Frost and Phil Keating are back to continue indocrinating Travis in to the cult of Wes Anderson with Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009). It's Wes Anderson, it's stop motion animation, it's based on a Roald Dahl book, AND it stars George Clooney and Meryl Streep. So, is this one Travis plans to watch on a regular basis? Or, did we find one that just didn't connect? Let's find out...Amy Frost is the Voice of Reason for Achewillow, a cozy horror podcast you can find at https://www.achewillow.com and check out the print book coming in June of 2026Phil is part of Botched: A D&D Podcast you can find at https://www.botchedpodcast.com and check out his live stream with his Mom on Christmas eve at https://www.twitch.tv/imaginarynomadThanks go out to Audie Norman (@TheAudieNorman) for the album art.

This week's episode is a little different—Steven is out sick, so it's just Devon and Ben holding down the fort. The result is a loose, thoughtful conversation that bounces from pop culture overload to philosophy, creativity, and the art of not trying so hard. Real Life Devon kicks things off with a trip looming on the horizon, bringing equal parts snow, stress, and snowboarding. That spirals nicely into media consumption: thoughts on Switch 2, Mario Maker 2, and catching up on a new Wes Anderson film alongside a Knives Out rewatch. Cozy movies, big style, and just enough distraction to keep the anxiety at bay. Ben's week leans cinematic and slightly exasperated. Avatar: Fire and Ash clocks in at over three hours, which raises some questions about restraint. We also talk about the newly dropped Avengers: Doomsday teaser—officially slated for December 18, 2026—and the ever-growing pile of what Ben dubs AI slop. The hype machine grinds on. Future or Now Ben files this one firmly under Now, bringing in an essay titled "The Appropriate Amount of Effort Is Zero" from Expanding Awareness. You can read it here: https://expandingawareness.org/blog/the-appropriate-amount-of-effort-is-zero/ The conversation clicks immediately, especially when paired with that classic Star Wars line: "The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers." Devon connects this idea directly to music—specifically guitar playing—and how tension kills creativity. No clenched jaw. No face squinching. Relaxed hands, relaxed mind. Ben takes it further, pulling in some Eastern philosophy and the idea that over-effort can actively work against you. Trying less, it turns out, might actually get you more. Book Club No discussion this week, but we tee up next episode's reading: "The Janitor in Space" by Amber Sparks. If you want to read along, the story is available here: https://americanshortfiction.org/janitor-space/ It's short, strange, and very much in our wheelhouse—perfect fuel for next week's conversation. Steven will be back soon, Devon will (hopefully) survive the snow, and Ben will continue his quest to consume culture without being crushed by it. Until then: loosen your grip.
Jim Jarmusch gained accolades for showing the studio world that a movie can be just as slow, aimless, and infused with deadpan humor as real life—a notion embraced by the likes of Seinfeld, Wes Anderson—and that sometimes foible and folly reveal as much about the human condition as flashy narrative thread.

Sinema kulübümüzün 26. buluşmasında yönetmenliğini Wes Anderson'ın yaptığı, başrollerinde Ralph Fiennes ve Tony Revolori'nin oynadığı 2014 yapımı "Büyük Budapeşte Oteli" adlı filmi konuştuk. Film, iki dünya savaşı arası dönemde Avrupa'da lüks bir otelin ünlü concierge'i Monsieur Gustave'ın ve genç çırağı Zero'nun başından geçen macerayı anlatıyor. Wes Anderson'ın kendine özgü görsel estetiği, pastel renkleri, simetrik kadrajları ve tiyatro sahnesi gibi dekorlarıyla göz dolduran bir sinema şöleni sunan yapım, aynı zamanda göçmenlik, faşizm ve kaybolmuş bir dünyanın nostaljisi gibi derin temaları işliyor. Filmin Otuz'lardaki canlı, rengarenk dünyasından giderek grileşen savaş sonrası döneme geçişi, dönemin ruhunu başarıyla yansıtıyordu. Aynı şekilde karakterlerin zerafeti, saflıkları, dürüstlüğü ve çalışkanlığı bize bir buruklukla toplumun geride kalan değerlerini hatırlatıyordu sanki. Filmin günümüze de ışık tutan mesajları dikkatimizi çekti. Mülteci sorununa insanca yaklaşımı, göçmenlere karşı ayrımcılık ve bu ayrımcılığın kuşaklar boyunca nasıl devam ettiği üzerine düşündük. Film nezaket ve zarafetin gücünü, samimi ilişkilerin ve yardımlaşmanın önemini bize hatırlattı diyebiliriz.Filmin farklı katmanlarını, sembollerini ve göndermeleri keşfetmek için birkaç kez izlenmesi gerektiğinde fikir birliğine vardık. Sonuç olarak hem görsel bir şölen hem duygusal hem de düşündürücü bir yapıt olarak "Büyük Budapeşte Oteli"ni keyifle izlediğimizi ve tartıştığımızı söyleyebilirim. Bu bölümde görüşlerine yer verebildiğim arkadaşlarım sırasıyla (01:56) Ebru Başaran, (02:55) Suat Soy, (08:17) Mehpare Şayan Kileci, (10:57) Suat Soy ve Mete YurtseverSupport the show

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! —the podcast where we resurrect cinema's most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: was it really that bad? We're celebrating five years of cinematic redemption.Not A Bomb! continues with the bombs of 2025, this time examining the black comedy film - The Phoenician Scheme. Troy and Brad use this opportunity to reflect on the cinematic career of Wes Anderson. Everyone knows Wes has a unique visual, but has he grown as a filmmaker? Is he just doing the Wes Anderson thing? The hosts find themselves battling with their initial thoughts and The Phoenician Scheme provided plenty for them to chew on. But hey, most importantly the guys are able to talk about Richard Ayoade AKA Dean Learner from Garth Marenghi's Darkplace so maybe The Phoenician Scheme is the greatest film ever made for that simply fact.The Phoenician Scheme is directed by Wes Anderson and stars Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Rix Ahmed, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amairic, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Rupert FriendAdditionally, Troy and Brad discuss Kill Bill: The Whole Affair as a bonus.Want to help support the show?

Episode 301 – Chair Company, Bagonia & the Anxiety of Being Extremely Online Matt and Bob are back “to pod” and this week they're double-featuring two very different brands of unhinged: Tim Robinson's The Chair Company on HBO and Yorgos Lanthimos' new black comedy Bagonia. First up, they break down why Chair Company's pilot might be an all-timer — deviled eggs, mall-restaurant discourse, wheelbarrow talk, and HR meetings about accidental upskirt eye contact — but why the season's tone, length, and “Scrooge porn” detours make it a tougher hang than I Think You Should Leave or Friendship. There's bouncer Mike, Wazy Wanes, giant wieners, and the eternal question: how many huge bits are too many huge bits? Then they head into the basement with Bagonia, digging into Jesse Plemons' beautifully weird performance, Emma Stone's corporate-speak alien CEO, and a story that sits somewhere between Ari Aster dread and Wes Anderson precision. They unpack conspiracy-brain vs. Big Pharma, torture in a foil-lined basement, corporate “no PTO, but take all the time you need” doublespeak, and an ending that somehow manages to combine telekinesis, exploding heads, and puffy tribunal aliens in a way that's both dark and oddly funny. Along the way, the guys shout out Jim Downey's late-career run, Will Tracy's Onion/Succession DNA, and close with a few rapid-fire watches on their radar: Train Dreams, J. Kelly, Task, Hamnet, and the Safdies' Christmas chaos ride Marty Supreme. If you've ever fallen down a conspiracy rabbit hole, worked in a soul-sucking office, or just love watching deeply weird men completely derail their lives, this one's for you
Isle of Dogs (2018) – Trash Island, pandemics, and very good boysIn this episode of Bad Dads Film Review, we head to Wes Anderson's stop-motion Japan for Isle of Dogs, a film where man's best friend is dumped on a toxic wasteland by a fascist cat-loving dynasty, and the only person who gives a toss is a 12-year-old boy in a stolen plane. We follow Atari and his pack of exiled hounds – Chief, Rex, King, Duke and Boss – as they trek across Trash Island in search of Spots, the missing bodyguard dog who may or may not have become the stuff of cannibal legend. Along the way we get robot attack dogs, poison sushi, hacked kill-switches, and a haiku that brings a dictator to heel.We talk about Wes Anderson's unmistakable style even in animation: the hyper-detailed sets, deadpan framing, fight scenes rendered as swirling dust clouds, and dogs whose fur moves like living sculptures. We dig into the cast (Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Scarlett Johansson), the film's pandemic politics, propaganda and AI war-dogs, and the criticisms about cultural appropriation versus what feels like a pretty sincere love letter to Japanese cinema and design. There's also time for the Bad Dads to confess their real-life dog feelings (ranging from “not a pet person” to “my dog is a tiny menace”), marvel at the sheer effort behind every two-second shot, and argue that Anderson's animated films might be the best entry point for people who bounce off his live-action work.If you're into:Stop-motion that's so detailed it makes your eyes hurtDystopian politics smuggled into a story about lost dogsPacks of flawed, funny, loyal mutts trying to do the right thing…this episode is a strong recommend and a good place to jump into the pod.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Jessica Hische and Chris Shiflett first crossed paths at Studiomates, a Brooklyn based co-working space where some of New York's most talented designers built businesses and influential organizations. Visit our Substack for bonus content and more: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/jessica-hische-and-chris-shiflett Jessica, known for her lettering and illustration work with clients like Wes Anderson and The New York Times, and Chris, whose career spans from the early foundations of the web to co-founding Brooklyn Beta, both experienced firsthand what happens when passionate, independent creatives come together. Today, they're channeling those lessons into Studioworks, a business platform built specifically for independent studios and creative professionals. They're tackling the unglamorous but essential parts of running a creative practice—invoicing, project management, client relationships—with the same care and community spirit that defined those Brooklyn days. In this conversation, we talk about the magic of Studiomates and Brooklyn Beta, what they learned from running their own studios for years, and why they decided to bootstrap a tool for the creative community rather than chase venture capital. It's a story about building something sustainable, beautiful, and genuinely useful for the people who make things. Bios Jessica Hische is one of the most beloved and influential designers of the past two decades. She's best known for her lettering and illustration, but equally for her generosity in sharing what she knows. Jessica was part of the original Studiomates community in Brooklyn, has worked with clients like Wes Anderson, The New York Times, and Penguin Books, and now brings her creative leadership to Studioworks, where she and Chris are building better tools for independent creatives and small studios. Chris Shiflett is a longtime friend of the design community whose career spans the deep foundations of the early web and the heart of the creative world. His early books on HTTP and web security became unexpectedly influential at a time when the internet was still taking shape, opening the door to some extraordinary projects — including one that generated nearly half of the internet's traffic and another responsible for a fourth of the world's email. After years helping big internet companies solve scalability problems, he realized he was more inspired by the people creating them — the designers, founders, and builders making things people love. That shift led him to the original Studiomates community, to co-founding Brooklyn Beta, and ultimately to the work he and Jessica are doing today with Studioworks.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright break down Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme, a visually striking film packed with symbolism, geopolitical parallels, and a surprising spiritual backbone. They explore the movie's Trump-like billionaire protagonist, his battles with global power structures, and the deeper themes of sovereignty, faith, manipulation, and systems versus individuals. From assassination attempts and rigged markets to father–daughter dynamics, moral transformation, and the film's sharp commentary on global elites, the hosts connect Anderson's surreal storytelling to real-world politics, cultural shifts, and the ongoing struggle between sovereign actors and entrenched systems. With sharp insights, humor, and a few man-flu jokes, Chris and BB unpack why this movie resonated so deeply and why it feels far more prophetic than quirky.

We break down what's gone wrong in Hollywood, of course the clutter, the soullessness, and obsession with trends. Why indie creators have become the new heartbeat. Jake opens up about filmmaking as a team sport. The danger of chasing comfort, and the pressure of working in a world. That expects instant perfection. The conversation swings from Wes Anderson to The Matrix sequels. From South Park's cultural power to the future of AI in film. It's blunt, it's funny, and it's everything filmmaking conversations are supposed to be. Honest and a little uncomfortable. We also, got personal the fear of missing your moment. The frustration of bad writing sinking good movies. The optimism needed to keep creating, and the reality that humans everywhere want; the same things.

It's time to reignite the rivalry, as our hosts Jon and Fil return for their biannual check-in to ask the question of all questions, "Are you an Anderson guy, or an Anderson guy?"That's right, folks. With both Wes Anderson and Paul Thomas Anderson releasing films this year, you better believe that we are back with a new instalment of ANDERSON vs ANDERSON! This year, Wes Anderson is here with his 12th feature, THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME. This quirky comedy stars Benicio del Toro as a ruthless tycoon, who launches the massive “Phoenician Scheme,” a nation-building infrastructure, but he's sabotaged by enemies manipulating the bolt market and inflating his costs. Desperate to cover the financial gap, he begs his partners, including his resentful brother, for more funding, while also trying to mend his relationship with his nun daughter (Mia Threapleton) who goes along for the ride. Features fun appearances from Michael Cera, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, and Richard Ayoade. And Wes Anderson's opponent, of course, is Paul Thomas Anderson, who delivered the biggest film of his life with his 10th feature, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. Leonardo DiCaprio takes the lead in this Thomas Pynchon inspired action thriller/stoner comedy, playing Bob: a washed-up revolutionary who lives in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited and self-reliant daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti). When his evil nemesis (Sean Penn) resurfaces and Willa goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her as both father and daughter battle the consequences of their pasts. It's the spectacle of the year, and one of PTA's strongest films he's ever made. And for those looking for links, the boy of the year, Benicio del Toro rip roars his way through this film in a show-stealing performances as Sergio St. Carlos. He's had a few beers, and he's ready to save the revolution!Which film do you think Jon and Film will pick to come out on top, as Anderson and Anderson battle it out once again? What was your favourite of the two?Don't miss ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER showing from 70mm at The Prince Charles Cinema from 26th December.

We've covered most of Wes Anderson's recent output, but we missed The Phoenician Scheme when it released in theaters. So we wanted to rectify that in between our holiday coverage, and give this espionage/business caper its proper due. Here we talk about the overly complicated scheme, Benicio del Toro as frontman, the phoenix rising of Michael Cera, and a whole lot more as we try to parse the symmetrical orientation of Anderson's film. We're also drinking Ommegang's Ommegeddon, a Brett Saison Ale!Approximate timeline0:00-12:00 Intro12:00-20:00 Beer talk20:00-end The Phoenician SchemeNext up: we head into Thanksgiving with a look at 2021's Black Friday!
The boys are watching a Wes Anderson (derogatory) flick once again because yer boi Tom Hanks simply cannot stop himself from being in them. So put on a twee little coat and talk without any emotions, things are (definitely not) heating up with The Phoenician Scheme! Jokes this time include: back at the brick factory, woodsman attire, meat shirts, movies for piggies, Wes is less and a basement absolutely full of trains.
