Viddy Well Podcast

Grab some peanuts or Cracker Jacks and join Aaron & Rob as they kick of season 7 of the podcast with more "Four Seasons of Film Fun!"  For this year’s Spring entry, they round the bases on the 1992 period sports dramedy A League Of Their Own, directed by Penny Marshall and starring Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna, Lori Petty, Rosie O’Donnell, Jon Lovitz, and Bill Pullman. Based around true events, the film is a charmingly bittersweet look at women taking on a more active role with society during WWII, and in many ways, being able to make choices on their own for the first time.

Join Aaron & guest host Rob Chenoweth as they close out this year's "Four Seasons Of Film" series by diving into the snowdrifts of Sergio Corbucci's cold-blooded late-60s western: The Great Silence. With chilling seasonal vibes and a bleak ending that's numbingly frigid, this winter western totally embraces its icy nature and paints the white snow spaghetti-sauce red. Boltered by beautiful cinematography, a killer score from Ennio Morricone, and a memorably menacing performance from Klaus Kinski as the loathsome Loco, the film offers a fascinating revisionist take on the western that sets it apart from the rest.
