Episode 162: Snowpiercer

Posted on by Aaron White.

This month’s donor pick theme was comic book/graphic novel films not part of the Marvel or DC universes and our listeners still managed to get Captain America in the mix. We discuss this sci-fi, horror, dystopian, post-apocalyptic film with deep themes and kick-ass action and have a great time doing it.

Minisode 60: Blackout with Scott Conroy

Posted on by Aaron White.

For this special minisode, we are joined by Scott Conroy, the writer and creator of the new scripted podcast, BLACKOUT, which is a story centered around the town of Berlin, New Hampshire in the midst of a citywide blackout and the fallout that comes from it. It’s narrated by and stars Oscar award winner Rami Malek as Simon Itani, the local DJ. It’s got the flavor of shows like LOST and THE WALKING DEAD, so if you are a fan of those, you’ll want to check it out. It’s 8 total episodes, 7 of which have released as of this conversation, and available via Apple Podcast. We interview Scott about how he got into script writing, where his idea came from, how Rami Malek got involved, and more. You can listen to BLACKOUT on Apple Podcasts now (see link below).

Episode 161: Singin’ in the Rain

Posted on by Aaron White.

We’re not podcasting in the rain this week, but we’re definitely happy again to be chatting about one of Aaron’s favorite films in celebration of both Spring and his birthday. We can’t speak for Don Lockwood, but we assure you that this conversation will be conducted with dignity… always dignity… and hopefully it will put a little smile on your face and even help you appreciate this lovely musical even more.

Episode 160: Missing Link

Posted on by Aaron White.

LAIKA Studios is back with another beautifully animated and charming tale, this time a globe-trotting adventure with an unlikely trio of characters exploring not only mythical lands but themes such as identity and colonialism, as well. This film also gives us gut-busting laughs and endearing moments, plenty of material to discuss for this week’s conversation.

Episode 158: The Babadook

Posted on by Aaron White.

For March’s Donor Pick Episode poll we asked our Patrons to choose between five female-directed films in honor Women’s History Month. We’re pretty sure they chose this film not only because it is a beloved recent favorite, but also because Patrick has a known distaste for the horror genre. Well, the joke’s on them because both hosts really connected with Jennifer Kent’s film in a big way and we have a touching conversation about grief, parenting, and moving on. We hope you’ll listen.

Episode 157: Mr. Nobody

Posted on by Aaron White.

This special episode is brought to you by a generous anonymous patron via our Premium Pick process. We’re thrilled that we were given the opportunity to cover this film, though, because it impacted us both greatly on an emotional level while also stretching our brains to follow its high-concept science fiction ideas. Our discussion is not meant to explain the film, but rather to offer some expression of our reaction to it. Enjoy!
