Die Hard with Anne Sears

Die Hard with Anne Sears

Anne Sears joins us today to about a little old obscure indie flick...DIE HARD! Anne is all over this movie, having loved it since childhood, and she brings multiple ideas to the table that has never occurred to me before. And I've watched Die Hard A LOT. We talk Alan Rickman, feminism, of course we address the Christmas movie issue, albeit briefly. Trust me; you will have a great time with this one.

Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story with Jim Meadows

Welcome to a rather profound episode of the show. Jim Meadows and I wrestle with a movie we both love, which necessarily tackles challenging subject matter. This is an experimental, early film by director Todd Haynes. This movie is officially pulled from circulation, but you can check it out on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LaBVmyNwshg?is=86AOXkS7fCuNrfe- [https://youtu.be/LaBVmyNwshg?is=86AOXkS7fCuNrfe-]Jim is executive director of noage [https://www.noagenola.org/], an important organization that serves and advocates for elderly members of the New Orleans LGBTQ+ community. Check them out and maybe donate if it's within your means.

Being John Malkovich with Scott Gold

Join writer and critic Scott Gold and I as we discuss the postmodern Spike Jonze flick Being John Malkovich. Scott goes deep on this one, on both the film itself and the tradition behind it. We have a ton of fun with it, as well.

Obsession with Daniel Sovich

It's our first new (well newish) release episode! Past guest Daniel Sovich texted me earlier this week to let me know that he was obsessed with Obsession and that we had to record on it ASAP. I dutifully got my ticket, and we sat down just this past Thursday to break it down. Daniel is a heckuva songwriter and musician, based in Nashville. Check him out!

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

We're heading to Hawaii!!! Well, at least the characters are heading to Hawaii. We just get to jealously gawk at them in paradise. It's the incomparable (because who would we compare to him to) Jeff Elizardi returning to the show to talk Forgetting Sarah Marshall. We have a lot of fun with this movie, highlighting what makes the comedy and the characters tick. There also is an important message partway through about certain people who are no longer allowed to listen to the show. You better check to see whether you've made the cut.
