Mikey And Nicky (1976)

There was a technical issue the night before, which forced us to rerecord this episode during the wee hours of the morning. So picture it ; the two of us sitting at our mics talking about a film with no likable characters, after Doug announces he doesn't want to talk about the movie's storied labor, while still on our first cup of coffee. To make matters more interesting, Devon didn't care for Mikey and Nicky at all, while Doug is so obsessed with all of Elaine May's work (yes, even Ishtar) that he almost can't be objective about why. What you end up with is a podcast episode featuring two punch drunk goofballs forced to sit with this awkwardness, while one of them insists on impersonating Sammy Hagar.   Visit our HQ:   https://studiopropertyshow.com/

Ida (2013)

Happy Casimir Pulaski Day! If you don’t know what that is, you’re still invited to come celebrate it with us! Oh! We also talk about an incredible Polish film we saw. No, really. It blew our minds.   Fun fact : Ida (2013) was the first Polish speaking film to ever win an Oscar.   Also, Neil (The Eastern European fellow from the “Some Like It Hot” episode) called us back to report that he and his husband Mikhail (who called in on our “The Man Who Fell To Earth” episode) are back together!  He also tells us a little about his current project.   Devon pulls a sneaky dirty rotten move during this week’s “Let’s Franchise This, Baby” segment.   Our Home Base : https://www.studiopropertyshow.com [https://www.studiopropertyshow.com]

The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp (1943)

Mondo returns to talk about one of the greatest films in the history of cinema, The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp, produced and directed by “The Archers,” Michael Powell and Emerick Pressburger.   Right out of the gate, I’ll mention that the “Let’s Franchise This, Baby” segment is one of the ages; that is to say, the film we suggest be made is one I would give anything to see. No, really.   We should probably have gushed a little more about Deborah Kerr’s performance. She was only twenty years old when Blimp was filmed and the actress played three different women who were all distinct.    If you’ve never seen this film, it is currently on YouTube for free. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3RyouSN1YE [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3RyouSN1YE]   Here is a link for a YouTube video of the incredible Thelma Schoonmaker talking about Powell and Pressburger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sC_zOAsZTQ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sC_zOAsZTQ]   Our HQ : https://studiopropertyshow.com/ [https://studiopropertyshow.com/]

The Last Temptation Of Christ (1988)

Where to begin? Well, Devon didn’t love this movie. Her reasons are sound. But Doug loves this film…enough to come into the studio dressed as Jesus, which presented a whole other set of distractions/problems. You can see all that magic in our YouTube shorts/Tiktoks and what not… As far as the film goes, we did a deep dive into its structure, its crew and cast. We dissected it like a high school science class frog and maybe ate it afterwards.

Amelie (2001)

This is probably the most requested film we’ve done to date. So what can I tell you about this episode in advance? Well, I can say confidently that it will be remembered for a host of reasons -one of which is because it marks the first appearance of our special guest co-host, Mondo! Doug also kind of does a “normal” intro. I know. Also, it is the time three people weighed in on the “Let’s Franchise This, Baby” segment, and made money -cash – hoe - movie - magic out of a film most people on earth (and Devon) would never want to see remade. It’s a good one! One regret though. We never address that bizarre line in the film. You know the one. “Someone must’ve peed in his mother.” I have no idea what it means but I think we can all agree that if it is strategically placed, there isn’t a film on earth that couldn’t be improved by this charming bit piece of dialogue. This may be a matter of taste. Anyway, subscribe to the podcast and check out our site! https://studiopropertyshow.com/
