Two Movies…One Theme

  • Reel 13: Love, Maybe

    PROGRAMMING NOTE: Your podcatcher may have downloaded an episode with an audio problem in the second half of the show. If this is the case, you’ll need to delete and re-download the episode to hear it correctly. Apologies for the goof, and thanks for understanding. So, where have we been? Actually, it’s Claude’s fault that…

  • Reel 12: Backstage Intrigue

    It’s Women’s History Month! And as our means of taking advantage of a remarkable coincidence, in today’s episode we’re looking at two films where the bulk of the primary cast is female. That said, the true theme this week is stories related to the theater. First, we’re looking at a favorite of the both of…

  • Reel 11: Apocalypse Later

    In this episode we’ve chosen a couple of near-future films in which humanity seems doomed for one reason or another. First up in our Double Feature is 1995’s 12 Monkeys, directed by Terry Gilliam, involving a plague, time travel, mental illness and, of course, World War One.  After the Intermission we’re looking at Children of…

  • Reel 10: SorkinFest Part V–The UNcredited Rewrites

Listen in as we discuss the two films on their own merits and try to figure out which parts Sorkin left his fingerprints on.  COMING ATTRACTIONS: Next…

  • Reel 9: SorkinFest Part IV–The Credited Rewrites

    We’re closing in on the end of SorkinFest as we get to Part 4 of our five-part series looking at the work of Aaron Sorkin. And this time around we’re looking at a couple of films that Sorkin had a public hand in writing–or, more accurately, re-writing: 1993’s Malice, starring Nicole Kidman and Alec Baldwin,…

  • Reel 8: SorkinFest Part III–Mostly-True Stories

    That’s a little bit of a misnomer, but not by much. This episode–the third in our series of five episodes dedicated to Aaron Sorkin’s work–looks at two films he worked on that told stories about specific individuals: Steve Jobs (2015), Directed by Danny Boyle, and Sorkin’s film directing debut, 2017’s Molly’s Game. Now, with Steve…
