2000: IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE ... and Noodles

lundi 6 mars 2023 • Durée 33:53

The characters in director Wong kar-Wai's "In the Mood for Love," which recently ranked No. 5 on the BFI's Sight and Sound poll of the Greatest Films of All Time, crave human connection -- but they'll settle for a good meal.

In this episode, Mike and Brian explore physical vs. emotional hunger; the various ways that Wong kar-Wai uses framing, color and slow-motion to communicate desire and/or loneliness; and how playing make-believe can draw us closer while simultaneously distancing us from deep life experiences.

1966: You + Me = Us in PERSONA

lundi 27 février 2023 • Durée 45:19

Duality. Facades! Identity!? It's all underneath the microscope in director Ingmar Bergman's "Persona" (1966), which ranked No. 18 on the BFI's Greatest Films of All Time Sight and Sound poll.

In this episode, Mike and Brian dive into the subconscious to explore the links between authenticity and art, desire and security, intimacy and acting, secrets and the Self. They gush over the film's black-and-white cinematography, discuss how horror stylings work to guide viewer expectations, then debate what's "real" in "Persona," and how much literal truth even matters in movies obsessed with intuition and the fine lines that divide competing forces within ourselves.

1963: Slipping through the Subconscious in 8 1/2

lundi 20 février 2023 • Durée 39:43

Ranked No. 31 on the British Film Institute's Greatest Films of All Time poll is director Federico Fellini's surrealist meta-project "8 1/2" (1963).

To really do the movie's vision justice, Mike and Brian intended to podcast about podcasting for a straight hour, but their producer (the illustrious Marc Gilliland) wouldn't allow it. Instead, the two discuss why we're drawn to movies about movies and the creative process, talk the power of images to fill logical gaps in the subconscious and explore what it means to make "authentic" and "important" art.

1953: Time Flies in TOKYO STORY

lundi 13 février 2023 • Durée 29:42

Ranking No. 4 on the British Film Institute's recently released Greatest Films of All Time poll was director Yasujirō Ozu's "Tokyo Story" (1953), which plays as a meditation on time and generational divides, set during a parents' trip to Tokyo to visit their adult children.

In this episode, Mike and Brian discuss Ozu's visual approach and whether or not a film can be shot "objectively;" they talk pre- and post-war sensibilities; growing apart; trauma-bonding; and the disapointments that come with being stuck in transitional periods of familial or cultural change.

1975: The #1 Film of All Time: JEANNE DIELMAN

lundi 6 février 2023 • Durée 52:05

Coming in at No. 1 on the British Film Institute's recently released Greatest Films of All Time poll was "Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" (1975), directed by Chantal Ackerman.

Never seen the film? You're not alone. Its placement at the top of the charts was a surprise to many, which made it the perfect place for Mike and Brian to kick off their international cinema blindspotting miniseries.

In this episode, they discuss whether or not mundanity can be a form of awakening and what tedium teaches us about marginalized groups; they debate the film's style and ending; talk agency vs. victimhood; then dig into where "Jeanne Dielman" might palce in their own "greatest films of all time" lists.

2009: Mike & Brian Get AN EDUCATION

lundi 9 janvier 2023 • Durée 26:49

It's not enough to edcuate us anymore, Academy. You have to tell us why you're doing it!

In this episode, Mike and Brian explore the final Best Picture nominee of 2009: director Lone Scherfig's "An Education," starring Carey Mulligan, Peter Sarsgaard, Alfred Molina and more. They discuss allusions to the Great Recession, what the movie intends to say about higher education through its ending (and whether or not it's successful), if Peter Sarsgaard is certified BPTGIE (Best Picture This Good in Everything) material and -- the big one -- if the Oscar-nominated film will win a spot in their top fives of the year.

2009: CRAZY HEART - For Your Consideration for Best Actor

lundi 2 janvier 2023 • Durée 25:46

Jeff Bridges and Colin Farrell as country music icons?! Where do we sign?

In this episode, Mike and Brian dive into director Scott Cooper's "Crazy Heart," an intimate character study of an aging and down-on-his-luck musician (Bridges, who won the Oscar for Best Actor). The film owes a lot to Darren Aronofsky's "The Wrestler," and Mike and Brian parse out those comparisons. They talk "fake" biopics, the complicated world of happy endings, how original music compares to the ultra-famous songs that frame out films about real-life legends like Ray Charles and Johnny Cash, then decide whether or not this movie will make their top fives of 2009.
