Martin Scorsese's "Raging Bull" (1980) : Raging Flam

The Drunk Episode: Two Truths and a Flam || Warning: Explicit and Alcoholic

In this raunchy and daring BONUS episode of Film Flam, the men (boys) break down from the stress of constantly generating new, groundbreaking insights on films. Oh, and they drink. How much they drank exactly is up to debate, and probably lost to the cruel churning tides of history, but one thing is certain: you should drink too. A lot. And only then will you be able to appreciate the masterpiece of a bonus episode that is blessing your shitty feed. Come in, listen to some “fake” movie synopses, and get away from those pesky life responsibilities. What we have for you here is more important. With love, realfilmflampod@gmail.com

Wings Of Desire (1987) || Wim Wender's Flamsterpiece

What does it mean to be human? What is the value of struggle? Is it all worth it? In this episode of Film Flam, Colin and Sean answer these and many, many other questions. The Film Flam Angels (Flamgels?)  take a brief reprieve from their divine perch to stoop to the dirty, corporeal world of the unbathed masses to share all that they learned tromping through the world of Wim Wenders’ Wings of Desire (originally Nicholas Cage’s idea, but Wim beat him to production). Outstanding questions: * Will Colin stop bullying Sean after watching this movie? * If an angel touches a man and he feels it, and the man still commits suicide, is the angel liable? * Is this movie as good as "City of Angels?"
