John Plays the Piano - A Film Podcast

Season 1 of the John Plays the Piano podcast ends with the 1992 film Batman Returns. Curtis, Gary, and Jude attempt to stay on topic or at least solely within the realm of Batman or DC or Marvel or movies in general. But before our round table discussion can begin, Curtis chats with Dave on why the hell he picked Batman Returns for us to watch. #blamedave

Jude, Corey, Gary, and special guest Karyn discuss Waters' 1988 film Heathers. We discuss kids being products of their environment, Mean Girls, what high school was like for each of us, and what if Heathers was released today instead of nearly 30 years ago? Oh, and what's Christian Slater been in lately?

Jude and special guests, Corey and Gary, discuss Cuarón's 2006 film Children of Men. We discuss dystopias, crying babies, crazy old pot smokers, how books compare to movies, and complicated camera shots. Oh, and what's that ringing in your ears?

Jude, Curtis, Paul, Christopher, and featured guest Adam discuss Dante's 1998 film Small Soldiers. We discuss why believing isn't seeing, what Toy Story was really about, and how angry dads make us really angry. Um, was this supposed to be a comedy?

Jude, Curtis, Paul, Christopher, and featured guest Adam discuss Kaufman's 1999 film Being John Malkovich. We discuss consciousness, living vicariously through others, who the hell John Malkovich is, and what happens before a human turns 44. Oh, and is Kaufman really thinking this much when he writes his films?
