Episode 354: The Crew’s wearing Bowler hats while watching Billy Wilder’s The Apartment. While the plot may seem dated, the story of loneliness and wanting to find connections is still relevant today. Wilder’s tonal switches are so perfect, he makes it look effortless. The apartment and office building sets are jaw-dropping amazing. The Crew discusses…

Episode 353: The Crew’s wondering if they really ever saw colors before watching Mario Bava’s Blood and Black Lace. This early slasher/giallo film (maybe the first color giallo) is an artistic marvel. Yes, the lighting is colorful, but everything in front of the camera is gorgeous. The fun whodunit plot accented with some brutal murder scenes makes this 60’s film enjoyable even today. The Crew discusses…

Episode 352: The Crew’s refusing to shave while watching Robert Aldrich’s The Dirty Dozen. This star studded WWII movie was a huge box-office hit in 1967 and influenced so many movies. John Cassavetes, Jim Brown, and Telly Savalas really standout from the dozen. The Crew discusses…

Episode 351: The Crew’s taking creepy carriage rides around Central Park while watching Woody Allen’s Manhattan. Woody Allen follows up his first Oscar win (Annie Hall) and his first dramatic feature (Interiors) with one of his biggest box-office hits. Cinematographer Gordon Willis shoots this romantic comedy in black and white, giving the film a nice European/Art House feel. All the performances are great! The Crew discusses…

Episode 350: The Crew’s packing for Camp Climax while watching Stanley Kubrick’s Lolita. Kubrick manages to make a story of an adult sexually fantasizing about a 12 year old girl watchable by inserting some comedy. Yeah, Peter Sellers hams it up; but some of the edits are comedically timed, and the dialogue is innuendo filled. Everything is heavily implied… but that has more to do with the Hays Code than Kubrick’s desires. The Crew discusses…

Episode 349: The Crew’s having a glass of milk while watching Luc Besson’s Leon: The Professional. This 90’s cult classic has 2 different edits, the American cut and the 20 minute longer International version, which includes more scenes of a 12 year old girl making sexual advances to an adult man. Creepy romance aside; this film is beautiful. Cinematography and Production Design are super impressive on a $16 million budget. The Crew discusses…

Episode 348: The Crew’s having a bowl of bread, milk, sugar and liquor while watching Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver. Robert De Niro plays the titular villain (antihero?) that’s about to explode into a violent rage. The photography is amazing, the music is perfect, and every performance is memorable. The Crew discusses…

Episode 347: The Crew’s swinging nunchaks around while watching Chad Stahelski’s John Wick: Chapter 4. Wick is back in action with more weapons, more supporting characters, and a longer runtime. Donnie Yen steals the film as a blind swordsman who knows how to make use of motion detectors. The Crew discusses…

Episode 345: The Crew’s thinking that John Wick is back while watching Chad Stahelski’s John Wick: Chapter 2. “Someone please get this man a gun!” Keanu Reeves is back shooting every assassin in the head. The world-building and action scenes are expanded to a crazy level. The Crew discusses…
