Filmmakers talking about movies because… Well, they would be doing it anyway!
Episode 359: The Crew’s wishing they could get a free apartment in Paris while watching Sydney Pollack’s Sabrina. This remake of Billy Wilder’s film is updated for the 90’s but much of the plot stays intact. Julia Ormond steals the film as the titular character. The Crew discusses…

Episode 358: The Crew’s struggling with all the CGI in James Mangold’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Spielberg and Lucas are only producing this outing, and you can feel it. The magic is missing. Everything looks fake and cheap. The artifact/MacGuffin feels great, and fits into the franchise nicely. The Crew discusses…

Episode 357: The Crew’s trying on a $6,000 dress while watching Mike Nichols’ Working Girl. Melanie Griffith is excellent in a star-making performance as the titular Working Girl. This 80’s box-office hit works well as a rom-com and a drama, with Griffith’s character climbing the Wall Street ladder to success. And it’s another example of Mike Nichols brilliant direction. The Crew discusses…

Episode 356: The Crew’s searching every kind of house while watching Andrew Davis’ The Fugitive. This big screen adaptation of the 60’s tv show was a surprise box office hit in 1993. The film was nominated for Best Picture and Tommy Lee Jones won a Supporting Actor Oscar. Everything is pretty perfect in this film, but the editing really stands out. All the montages, cutting between Ford and the US Marshalls, are incredible to watch. The Crew is joined by Writer/Director Brandon Russell. The Crew discusses…

Episode 355: The Crew’s terrified of all these violent children while watching Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch. Peckinpah has lots to say about violence and it’s effects in his 1969 Western. The film editing is revolutionary, mixing shots with different frame rates to help visualize the horrific chaos of a gunfight. The Crew discusses…

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…
