Ep. 461 – The Return (2024)

TheReturn2024_poster

Episode 461: The Crew’s laying naked on a rocky beach while watching Uberto Pasolini’s The Return. Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes are amazing as Penelope and Odysseus, it’s a shame they’re only in three scenes together. The film is a wonderfully grounded adaptation of The Odyssey, which makes the poor handling of the marketing and distribution so frustrating. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 460 – Troy (2004)

Episode 460: The Crew’s looking at all the beautiful people while watching Wolfgang Petersen’s Troy. Despite being Brad Pitt’s highest grossing film at the time, its huge budget kept it from becoming massively profitable. The Crew’s opinions vary greatly on this film, some think its fun entertainment and others think it’s laughably bad. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 459 – Conan the Barbarian (1982)

ConanTheBarbarian_poster

Episode 459: The Crew’s praying to Crom while watching John Milius’ Conan the Barbarian. This bloody sword and sandal flick introduced the world to Arnold Schwarzenegger (as a movie star anyway, he was already famous as a bodybuilder). More than 40 years later it’s still entertaining, and perhaps the best of the 80’s sword and sandals movies. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 458 – The Lady from Shanghai (1948)

LadyFromShanghai_poster

Episode 458: The Crew’s shooting mirrors while watching Orson Welles’ The Lady from Shanghai. Welles’ first film noir is a mixed bag, some scenes are amazing while others are workmanlike at best. Rita Hayworth and her swimwear steal the show. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 457 – The Magnificent Ambersons (1942)

MagnificentAmbersons_poster

Episode 457: The Crew’s taking George’s advice and buying a horse while watching Orson Welles’ The Magnificent Ambersons. Mr Welles second feature film isn’t as welled remembered as Citizen Kane, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be just as studied and enjoyed. Welles’ shots are perfection; the character blocking, the lighting, and camera movement communicate so much to the audience. We’re in the hands of a master. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 456 – Citizen Kane (1941)

Episode 456: The Crew’s holding their best snow globes while watching Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane. This film is often cited as THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE, and for good reason. The filmmaking techniques used to tell the story are impressive by today’s standards, and the story unfolds at a wonderfully quick pace. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 455 – The Phantom (1996)

ThePhantom_poster

Episode 455: The Crew’s wearing their tightest purple outfits while watching Simon Wincer’s The Phantom. This comic strip character’s film career was cut short by truly terrible box-office numbers, and some bad reviews. Which is a shame cause the film looks incredible and the cast is more than game. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 454 – The Shadow (1994)

TheShadow_poster

Episode 454: The Crew’s doing their best maniacal laugh while watching Russell Mulcahy’s The Shadow. This masked vigilante character started on the radio instead of comic books, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t cinematic. The sets and costumes look fantastic, really embracing style over substance. It’s too bad it bombed at the box office killing the franchise before it started. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 453 – The Rocketeer (1991)

Rocketeer_poster

Episode 453: The Crew’s taking flight with snazzy jetpacks while watching Joe Johnston’s The Rocketeer. This 90’s superhero soars on the big screen thanks to some wonderful performances, truly great effects (that still look great today), and a lovingly recreated 1930s that’s a feast for the eyes. Its a real shame this film didn’t start the trilogy the filmmakers wanted. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 452 – Dick Tracy (1990)

DickTracy_poster

Episode 452: The Crew’s wearing their best yellow hat and coat while watching Warren Beatty’s Dick Tracy. This comic strip adaptation is the very definition of over the top, especially from Al Pacino. The photography and production design are stylized gold, but unfortunately the main star and his leading lady (Warren Beatty and Madonna) are the weakest parts and take up so much screen time. The Crew discusses…
