Never Seen It Podcast — Episode 73 Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (2019)

Épisode 73

mardi 6 janvier 2026 • Durée 01:37:45

In this episode, we finally tackle Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a film that has only grown more divisive with time. We approach it not just as a Tarantino film, but as a meditation on Hollywood nostalgia, aging masculinity, and the mythmaking power of cinema itself.

We start by talking about the film’s loose, meandering structure and how it operates more like a hangout movie than a traditional narrative. Rather than building toward constant plot escalation, the movie asks us to live alongside Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth as they drift through late-1960s Los Angeles. For some of us, that vibe is intoxicating; for others, it can feel indulgent and self-satisfied.

We spend a lot of time on Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance as Rick Dalton, breaking down how his insecurity, desperation, and occasional self-awareness make him one of Tarantino’s most human characters. His fear of irrelevance hits especially hard in a story obsessed with the end of an era. We contrast that with Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth, cool, capable, and intentionally opaque, and debate whether the character is aspirational, troubling, or both.

Margot Robbie’s Sharon Tate becomes a major point of discussion as well. We examine Tarantino’s choice to portray her more as a presence than a fully fleshed-out character, and whether that approach feels respectful, reductive, or somewhere in between. Her scenes embody the film’s nostalgia but also raise questions about agency and perspective.

Naturally, we dig into Tarantino’s revisionist history and the insane third act. We talk about why rewriting real-world violence into cathartic fantasy has become such a defining feature of his later career, and whether Once Upon a Time in Hollywood earns that ending emotionally and thematically.

By the end, we land in a complicated place. We admire the craft, performances, and atmosphere, even as we wrestle with the film’s pacing, indulgence, and tonal choices. It’s a movie we don’t entirely love, but one we can’t stop thinking about, which might be the most Tarantino outcome possible.

Never Seen It Podcast — Episode 72 Left Handed Girl (2025)

Épisode 72

mardi 30 décembre 2025 • Durée 01:17:59

In this episode, we sit down to discuss Left-Handed Girl, the 2025 film directed by Shih-Ching Tsou, making her long-awaited solo directorial debut after years of collaboration with Sean Baker (Take Out, Tangerine, Anora). The film follows a mother and her two daughters as they relocate to Taipei to open a noodle stand in a bustling night market, hoping for a fresh start—only to find that family secrets, tradition, and unresolved trauma come with them.

We talk about how Left-Handed Girl uses the idea of left-handedness as both a literal and symbolic device, touching on cultural superstition, childhood imagination, and the way shame and fear can be passed down through generations. The character of I-Jing becomes a fascinating lens for how kids internalize adult anxieties, sometimes in playful ways, sometimes in destructive ones.

Visually, we break down how the film was shot largely on an iPhone, and why it never feels like a gimmick. Instead, the vibrant colors, natural lighting, and fluid camera movement make Taipei feel alive. The night markets, streets, and small apartments aren’t just settings—they’re characters. We discuss how limited resources, small crews, and real locations actually enhance the authenticity of the film rather than holding it back.

We also share insights from the San Diego Asian Film Festival, where the film screened and where Shih-Ching Tsou participated in a Q&A, including the revelation that Left-Handed Girl had been in development for nearly two decades. That long gestation shows in the confidence of the storytelling and the emotional precision of the performances—especially from the young lead, who delivers one of the most natural child performances we’ve seen in recent years.

Throughout the episode, we reflect on why films like Left-Handed Girl are so inspiring for independent filmmakers, how Sean Baker’s influence can be felt without overpowering Tsou’s voice, and why this quiet, observational drama lingers long after the credits roll. If you’re interested in Asian cinema, indie filmmaking, or character-driven storytelling, this is one we highly recommend.

Never Seen It Podcast — Episode 64 Overlord (2018)

Épisode 64

mardi 28 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:23:58

We start by introducing the “Hardcore Four” crew—Adrian, Arnold, Alex, and Justin—before diving into Justin’s pick for the Halloween episode, Overlord. Justin explains why he chose the film and how it flew under the radar when it first came out despite being produced by J.J. Abrams. From there, the discussion evolves into a mix of serious film talk and pure comedy as we unpack what makes Overlord such a unique hybrid of action, horror, and war. We discuss the movie’s standout moments, from the shocking opening plane sequence to the grotesque reanimation scenes in the Nazi lab. We also geek out over the attention to detail in the set design and pyrotechnics, which helped the practical effects stand out against the CGI-heavy landscape of modern horror films.

The crew riffs on cultural and historical details, like how Nazi soldiers were reportedly on meth and obsessed with the occult, and joke about how trippy warfare might’ve looked if acid and glow sticks were involved. Adrian connects the film’s tone to video games like Castle Wolfenstein, while Arnold and Alex take the conversation into some hilarious and bizarre territory about Filipino and Mexican superstitions, the idea of immortality, and what it would mean to live forever. We even manage to tie that back to the themes of Overlord and how it questions the morality of power, science, and human experimentation.

Between all the banter, we bring real insight to the film’s themes—how Boyce evolves from a scared soldier into a leader, how Ford’s sacrifice seals the story’s moral weight, and how the lack of overt racial commentary actually makes Boyce’s heroism even stronger. We talk about the deeper implications of war horror, the human cost behind “super soldier” fantasies, and how Overlord could easily be reimagined as a series or expanded universe.

By the end, we unwind into our usual post-show chaos, shouting out our Twitch and TikTok audience, joking about “National Nut Day,” and teasing what’s coming next. We close by reflecting on how Overlord deserves more love as a clever, brutal, and surprisingly emotional war-horror gem that never got its due.

Never Seen It Podcast — Episode 63 A Halloween Feast (2024)

Épisode 63

mardi 21 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:05:05

In this episode, we sit down with filmmaker Guile Branco to talk about his darkly funny and deeply human horror-comedy A Halloween Feast. We dive into how the film mixes absurd humor, classic horror vibes, and social commentary — all while exploring heavy themes like generational trauma and the ways we inherit dysfunction from those who came before us.

We talk about Guile’s free-flowing writing process — how he lets ideas come organically without over-structuring too early — and how that spontaneity led to the film’s bold tone and surprising emotional beats. A Halloween Feast doesn’t just deliver laughs and scares; it lands with a twist that reframes the characters’ relationships in a way that sticks with you long after the credits roll.

One of the most fascinating parts of our conversation was hearing about how Guile balanced acting and directing at the same time. He opens up about the mental juggling act of switching between performer and filmmaker, and how having a strong assistant director made all the difference on set. We also dig into the realities of indie filmmaking — tight budgets, limited time, and the resourcefulness it takes to pull off something ambitious with minimal means.

Guile shares his thoughts on audience reactions and how screenings, especially at festivals, can be the truest test of a film’s success. He reminds us that filmmaking doesn’t stop once you call “cut.” There’s an entire journey in marketing and distribution, and he’s refreshingly candid about the challenges of getting an independent film out into the world. His story with Breaking Glass Pictures and O2 Play shows just how much persistence and smart strategy it takes to find your audience.

For aspiring filmmakers, this episode is full of insight. Guile emphasizes that the most important thing you can do is to write — get your ideas down, even if they’re messy, and don’t wait for perfection. He encourages young creators to take risks, trust their instincts, and use whatever resources they have to make something authentic.

We loved talking to Guile not just about A Halloween Feast as a movie, but as a creative journey — one built on passion, collaboration, and a fearless sense of humor in the face of chaos. Whether you’re into indie horror, absurd comedy, or just the behind-the-scenes grind of filmmaking, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Never Seen It Podcast — Episode 62 The Doom Generation (1995)

Épisode 62

mardi 7 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:30:08

Welcome back to The Never Seen It Podcast! This week, the gang—Adrian (@b00tz2big), Alex (@filipinogrigio), Justin (@ghostnerd88), Donnie (@donnieappleseed_), and Arnold (@arnieda1manparty)—take a wild trip through The Doom Generation (1995), Gregg Araki’s cult classic of sex, violence, and absurdity.

Chosen by Alex, the film sparks a lively discussion about Araki’s place in ‘90s indie cinema alongside Tarantino, Kevin Smith, and Spike Jonze. The crew dives into the director’s signature chaos: neon-drenched lighting, exaggerated violence, and surreal comedy that somehow distills a simple story about three lost kids searching for meaning.

They talk about the film’s queer undercurrents—Araki calling it his “heterosexual movie,” while still exploring fluidity, repression, and the politics of identity. Adrian draws parallels to modern filmmakers like Marlon Wayans and Jordan Peele, while Alex compares Araki’s visual flair to modern absurdist films like Boys Go to Jupiter.

Justin breaks down the movie’s striking use of lighting and color gels—reds, greens, and purples that make every frame look like a fever dream. Arnold reflects on how The Doom Generation feels like Natural Born Killers with way more sex and chaos, while Donnie praises the raw, DIY energy and gives it a solid 4.5/5 on Letterboxd.

The crew wraps by asking: could a movie this horny, this violent, this unapologetically weird ever get made today? Maybe not—and that’s exactly why it still matters.

BONUS: Flavor & Film: How Music and Food Shape Our Stories

mardi 30 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:13:57

In this episode of the podcast, the hosts power through some early live-stream hiccups and dive headfirst into a wide-ranging conversation on the art of movie soundtracks and the culture of food. What begins as a discussion of technical difficulties quickly evolves into an exploration of how music shapes film, fuels emotion, and leaves lasting impressions.

The hosts reflect on the power of soundtracks—how orchestral scores elevate cinematic storytelling, how 90s alternative music defined an era, and how hearing a single song can instantly transport us back to a memory or moment. From cult classics like The Doom Generation to mainstream blockbusters, they break down the way music enhances narrative impact while also considering cultural representation in film soundscapes.

The conversation then shifts to another universal connector: food. Drawing from personal stories and cultural reflections, the hosts unpack how cooking and eating are just as rich in symbolism and creativity as film and music. They highlight how Asian cuisines like ramen and sushi have become staples in American culture, contrast this with the lack of Filipino food representation in mainstream film, and celebrate the nourishing history of soul food. The hosts also explore food’s chemistry, the visual appeal of dishes, and the way meals bring communities together.

Tying the two threads together, the episode emphasizes how both music and food create shared experiences that are emotional, cultural, and deeply personal. Whether it’s a favorite movie soundtrack, a dish passed down through generations, or the simple joy of sharing a meal, these art forms remind us of the beauty in connection.

Tune in for laughter, nostalgia, and plenty of food-for-thought as the hosts mix personal anecdotes, film analysis, and culinary reflections into one flavorful conversation.

Get ready for a wild ride through Neo-Tokyo! On this episode of Never Seen It, Adrian, Justin, Alex, and Arnold tackle the groundbreaking 1988 anime film Akira. For some of us, it was a first-time watch, while others grew up enthralled by its mix of sci-fi spectacle and cryptic storytelling. Together, we break down the film’s unforgettable visuals, its haunting soundtrack, and the legacy it left behind.

We talk about:

Cultural impact: How Akira helped bring anime to the West and influenced everything from Kanye’s Stronger video to Jordan Peele’s Nope.

Cyberpunk & body horror: Where it sits alongside Blade Runner, Neuromancer, and David Cronenberg’s grotesque transformations.

Themes: Post–World War II trauma, political corruption, religious zealotry, youth rebellion, and the dangers of unchecked power.

Behind-the-scenes trivia: The massive budget, its detailed hand-drawn animation, why the ending feels ambiguous, and how the manga was still unfinished when the film premiered.

Personal takes: Which scenes blew us away, which parts left us confused, and the moments that made us laugh unexpectedly.

From the iconic motorcycle slide to debates about the ambiguous ending, this episode digs into why Akira is still a five-out-of-five masterpiece for so many fans. Whether you’ve seen it once or a dozen times, it’s a film that rewards repeat viewing—and one that continues to shape pop culture decades later.

Never Seen It Podcast - Episode 59 Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010)

Épisode 59

mardi 9 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:16:01

Join us as we dive deep into Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010), a film that has evolved from box office underperformer to beloved cult classic. With its mix of action, romance, and razor-sharp comedy, the movie stands out as one of the most visually inventive projects of modern cinema.

We explore how Wright’s signature direction and fast-paced editing style create a comic book aesthetic that feels alive on screen. From the explosive fight scenes—choreographed like musical numbers—to the playful pop culture references and Smashing Pumpkins needle drops, Scott Pilgrim balances spectacle with heart.

The conversation highlights Scott’s journey of self-respect and personal growth, while also looking at the dynamic role of Ramona Flowers and the eccentric “Evil Exes.” We also reflect on the ensemble cast—many of whom went on to become A-list stars, including Chris Evans, Brie Larson, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead—and discuss the cultural legacy of the film more than a decade later.

Other highlights include the film’s Comic-Con marketing push, the way nostalgia and guilty pleasures influence audience reception, and how fight choreography and music fuse to elevate the narrative. We share favorite moments, fun behind-the-scenes theories, and debate how Scott Pilgrim might be reimagined in today’s Hollywood landscape.

If you’re a fan of Edgar Wright, comic book adaptations, or just love a good cult classic film discussion, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
