❗️ OUR LATEST EPISODE❗️

🎥 Minari (2020)
Directed by Lee Isaac Chung

• Ambitious father Jacob Yi moves his Korean-American family from 1980’s California to rural Arkansas with the dream of starting a 50-acre farm growing produce from his home country. Their new life in the strange and rugged Ozarks comes with challenges - as marital struggles, financial disaster, cultural differences and their youngest son’s heart defect threatens their attempt at the American Dream. Can the resilience of family keep them together?

This semi-autobiographical film is a low stakes slice-of-life drama that revels in making the smallest parts of life feel monumental. Aided by gorgeous cinematography, and a beautiful score by Emile Mosseri, Minari is undeniably an optimistic highlight from what was a relatively slow year for film. It stars Steven Yeun, Han Ye-ri, Youn Yuh-jung, and Will Patton.

Blow Out (1981)
Directed by Brian De Palma 🎥

• Jack Terri is an audio technician who works on sound effects for low-budget horror films. While out recording sound for a new movie, he witnesses a car careen off a bridge into a river. He jumps into the water and saves a woman named Sally, but finds that not only is the other passenger dead - it’s a U.S governor and upcoming presidential candidate. As Jack investigates the audio he captured of the accident (and begins a romance with Sally), he starts to unravel a political conspiracy that puts them both directly in the line of danger •

Blow Out is a mystery-thriller that also contains elements of noir, giallo (Italian horror) and meta-commentary on filmmaking. It was released in 1981 to critical acclaim but very little financial success, although it’s achieved cult-classic status since. Over the years it’s been praised for its stylish direction by De Palma (Carrie, Scarface), performances by John Travolta/Nancy Allen/John Lithgow, and is infamously one of Quentin Tarantino’s favorite films.

Its low budget, manic energy, practical effects, and inventive cinematography make it possibly one of the most iconic horror films of all time 🎃

🎶 Talking Heads - Remain in Light (1980)

• We’re FINALLY back after a long hiatus to talk about an album from the 1980’s for the first time. Talking Heads’ album ‘Remain in Light’ takes the groups brand of quirky post-punk, and merges it with new-wave, funk, electronics, and the polyrhythms of West African music. The band experimented with linear one-chord song structures, looping grooves, layered percussion, and the unhinged rants of vocalist David Byrne. It features the bands biggest hit ‘Once in a Lifetime’.

🎥 The Big Lebowski (1998)
- Directed by Joel & Ethan Coen

• Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski is a simple man. He likes bowling, drinking White Russians and getting high while laying on his rug listening to Creedence tapes. When he’s mistaken for a millionaire with the same name, he becomes wrapped up in a series of convoluted events involving a kidnapped pornstar, a feminist artist, a thug kingpin, a former German techno group, and a soiled rug that really tied the room together, man. He then enlists the help of his buddies, the Vietnam vet Walter and the totally clueless Donny, who make things considerably worse..

It stars Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, John Turturro, Tara Reid, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

We’re drinking Miller Lite and White Russians for this episode, as we tackle the beloved crime-comedy that we’ve coined as “the anti-podcast movie”. If you like what we do, consider subcribing to the podcast and leaving us a rating/review. As always, thanks for listening guys.

🎥 The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

• A national manhunt is enacted after a serial killer known as ‘Buffalo Bill’ kidnaps the daughter of a US senator. FBI agent Jack Crawford asks one of his top students at the academy, Clarice Sterling, to interview the infamous killer Hannibal Lector, as he may have insight into the case. Lector may be serving life behind bars for cannibalism, but he was also a brilliant psychologist, and Clarice is unknowningly about to become his newest patient..

This 1991 psychological-thriller is widely considered one of greatest films of all time. It swept up 7 Oscars at the Academy Awards that year, including Best Picture, Best Director for Jonathan Demme, and Best Performance for both of its stars, Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins. We dive into the films themes (woman working in a male-dominated field/sexism in law enforcement), praise the technical aspects and subtle tone, and get to drink Lè Finn Du Monde (the greatest beer ever) while doing it. Thanks to everyone who listens 😎

❗️ NEW BONUS EPISODE ❗️

• Happy Halloween! We’re ringing in the holiday by taking a look at one of the more iconic figures in horror with Jason Voorhees and the Friday the 13th franchise. Known for its low budget, lack of continuity, and loose plot, the first four films in the series are relatively same-y (teens wander through woods, get undressed, then die) before the later entries veer off into bizarre directions with Jason going to hell, Manhattan, then space.

We’re hopping directly into the fourth film, The Final Chapter (1984) without seeing the previous entries, because why the hell not? Join us on what was supposed to be Jason’s last hurrah, before he returns an additional six times!
