Come on over to our dead-tech, postmodernistic, bullsh*t, house and watch HEAT with us and Zed Adams (Philosophy, The New School)! Time, light, passing, entrapment, stylized realism, stoicism, individualism, institutionalism, and why people be thieving.
Don’t waste my muthafuckin time!
Vincent Hanna
We are joined by Jason Bailey, author of Gandolfini: Jim, Tony, and the Life of a Legend, to discuss one of his final films, ENOUGH SAID. We talk about midlife romances, self-destructive tendencies, shaggy stories, and a lot about Mr. Gandolfini’s honest and vulnerable performance. Check it out!
You broke my heart.
Albert
We sit down with Phil Gawthorne (Die Hard on a Blank) to discuss our second Stallone flick, Cobra. We discuss how the film’s absurdities make it endearing, the catharsis of comeuppance, aesthetic vibes, robot fashion, metanarrative love.
Robot fashion
Call the Cobra.
Police Chief
We sit down with James Miller (The New School) to discuss Pedro Almodovar’s challenging film TALK TO HER. We consider the juxtaposition of beauty and horror, the duality of subjects and objects, the blurry lines around the moral, ballet, and friendship.
From death, life emerges. From the masculine, the feminine emerges.
Katerina
We sit down with Chad Perman (Bright Wall / Dark Room) to discuss Mike Mills’ autobiographical love letter to his mom. We discuss how becoming a parent helps you become closer to your own parents, finding ourselves alienated from our own children, empaths, narratives as a source of therapy, and much more!
My son was born in 1964. He grew up with a meaningless war, with protests, with Nixon, with nice cars and nice houses, computers, drugs, boredom. I know him less every day.
Dorothea
It’s our first Sly film, so we sit down with Liam Billingham (Die Hard on a Blank) to discuss future politics, the film’s political litmus test, its satire of a conservative’s fever dream of liberal tyranny, masculinity, and more!
Not bad! Matter of fact this is the best burger I’ve had in years!
John Spartan
We talk with Jay Elliott (Philosophy, Bard College) about RISKY BUSINESS! White boys off the lake, Tom Cruise, sexual anxiety, capitalism, authenticity, Hitchcock, and more!
You know, Bill, there’s one thing I learned in all my years. Sometimes you just gotta say, “What the fuck, make your move.”
Joel Goodson
We sit down with Dan Wack (Philosophy, Knox College) to discuss Elaine May’s Mikey and Nicky! We talk gangsters, friendship, honesty, barriers, hangout films, misogyny, character studies, and much more!
It’s very hard to talk to a dead person. I have nothing in common.
Nicky
