The Hip Pocket #306 - Scott Derrickson

Épisode 306

vendredi 24 octobre 2025 • Durée 02:24:19

SCOTT DERRICKSON is a writer/director/producer whose latest film The Black Phone 2 opened last weekend at #1. His breakthrough film, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, was in 2005, and his movie Sinister is often cited as one of the scariest films of the 2000s. He works frequently with our guest from earlier this season, C. Robert Cargill, and their partnership includes films like Doctor Strange, The Gorge, and the first Black Phone.

Scott made his picks quickly and confidently, and why not? He picked three great, totemic movies, films that feel like they were inevitable additions to this list. First up is Martin Scorsese’s amazing breakthrough classic, Taxi Driver, and I love that we’re publishing this one right now. I just watched Rebecca Miller’s fantastic new documentary series Mr. Scorsese, and I cannot recommend it more strongly. It digs in to his entire career, dispelling myths (including a few that I repeat during this episode) and clarifying relationships, and it’s a dream for fans of his work. We jumped forward ten years for Scott’s next pick, Michael Mann’s bad-vibes masterpiece Manhunter, the film that introduced Hannibal Lec(k)ter to the big screen. Finally, we wrapped up Scott’s picks with David Fincher’s Se7en, a film that I could talk about every episode.

That’s a rough trio of movies, so Craig’s response film almost feels reactionary. However, the more we talked about it, the more Paddington 2 felt like an entirely appropriate and thematically perfect pairing with the movies Scott wanted to discuss.

Finally, this week’s Hip Pocket Hall of Fame entry is a movie that’s just as demanding and stylistically daring as the three films Scott chose, William Friedkin’s brilliant Sorcerer.

While you’re at it, why don’t you wish Aundria a hearty congratulations, as she’s getting married this weekend. One of the best things about doing this show is the way it’s brought Aundria, Craig, and me together. I love these two, and I love doing this with them. We are so happy for her and her delightful husband.

The Hip Pocket #305 - Sarah Watson

Saison 3 · Épisode 305

vendredi 26 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:25:08

SARAH WATSON is a writer/producer who is best known as the creator of The Bold Type, the author of a terrific YA novel called Most Likely, and for her work on the long-running Parenthood. We met through mutual friends and bonded over general movie nerdery, and watching her climb through the ranks of writing rooms has been a huge pleasure over the years. Plus she’s a great dog owner, and, honestly, what higher praise is there?

She’s currently hard at work on seasons two and three of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, but decided to take some time to talk to us about three movies that are hugely important to her. First up is The Dish, a delightful Australian comedy about a team at a remote radio dish who play an important role in the Apollo moon landing mission. Then there’s the Brit Marling/Mike Cahill film Another Earth, which, like most Brit Marling projects, is an absolute vibe. And then there’s the coming-of-age drama A Walk on the Moon, with Viggo Mortensen and Diane Lane.

Aundria picked this week’s response film, the terrific Denis Villenueve SF/drama Arrival, and it dropped right into the line-up in a delightful way.

Finally, this week’s Hip Pocket Hall of Fame entry is one of my favorite films of the ‘90s, the Robert Zemeckis adaptation of the Carl Sagan novel Contact.

I hope you enjoy this hangout with Sarah as much as I did, and I encourage you to dig into her IMDb page and check out her work. She’s the best.

The Hip Pocket #210 - Joe Lynch

Épisode 1

vendredi 16 mai 2025 • Durée 02:02:20

JOE LYNCH has directed movies, TV, and music videos for almost 20 years now. With his long-time buddy Adam Green, he was the co-creator and co-star of Holliston, a truly bizarre sitcom, and they have a long-running podcast called The Movie Crypt where they’ve talked to basically anyone who has ever made a horror film, and they also host an annual marathon to raise money for a Yorkie charity. You may have seen his movies Everly with Selma Hayek or Mayhem with Steven Yeun or Suitable Flesh with Barbara Crampton and Heather Graham. He is perpetually busy, so we were lucky to find a time for him to pick three movies to discuss.

First up is Short Time, a Dabney Coleman vehicle that doesn’t feel like any other Dabney Coleman movie. Then he picked the beautiful Wayne Wang film Smoke, starring Harvey Keitel. And finally, he takes a wild left turn to choose the disco era ensemble comedy Thank God It’s Friday.

Our response film is a big swing from one of our most flamboyant filmmakers, and I have loved it since the moment it was released, so let’s talk about Tucker: The Man and His Dream.

Finally, I decided to induct into the Hip Pocket Hall of Fame a movie that polarized audiences when it came out, and it still feels completely insane when you see it now. I get it if you don’t love Hudson Hawk, but I do.

The Hip Pocket #209 - Kevin Biegel

Épisode 1

vendredi 9 mai 2025 • Durée 01:37:14

KEVIN BIEGEL is one of the eight hundred writers who worked on A Minecraft Movie, and that’s just the latest highlight in a career that has been dedicated to making people laugh. He broke into the industry working for the Farrelly Brothers on Me, Myself & Irene, and he has moved from one great situation to the next. He worked on South Park before landing on Scrubs, where he worked for a number of seasons before he went on to create Cougar Town with Bill Lawrence, his boss at Scrubs. He also created Enlisted, a passion project that was as much about his own brothers as it was the US military. More recently, he was the screenwriter of The Machine, a film that brought the stand-up of Bert Kreischer to life.

Kevin was also the host of a long-running Movie Night here in Los Angeles where he was eventually hosting about 50 people every event, showing triple-features of carefully curated lunacy, and this week, he drew from some of the highlights of his time attending festivals and hosting his own events to pick a list of three films that were all part of unforgettable screenings. First up is Neil Breen’s Fateful Findings, a bit of outsider art that you have to see to believe. Then we’ve got Action USA, a long-lost local Florida film that Kevin literally rescued from obscurity. Finally, it’s the fantastic Daryl Duke film Payday, starring Rip Torn, a must-see for anyone obsessed with the work of Danny McBride and Jody Hill.

Our response film is an example of what happens when you don’t program a film festival the right way, the harrowing Dowdle Bros. movie The Poughkeepsie Tapes.

And finally, after the conversation we had, I felt like there was only one possible addition to the Hip Pocket Hall of Fame this week, the underseen but outstanding caper film Gambit, starring Michael Caine and Shirley McClaine.

The Hip Pocket #208 - Mike Mitchell

Épisode 1

vendredi 2 mai 2025 • Durée 01:35:55

MIKE MITCHELL is best known these days as one of the hosts of the wildly-popular Doughboys podcast, where he reviews fast-food chain restaurants with his co-host, Nick “Tiger” Wiger. He is a prominent figure in the LA comedy scene, having trained at the UCB Theater, and he only seems to be picking up steam as an actor. This summer, you’ll see him in the second season of Peacock’s hit adaptation of the Twisted Metal videogame series, reprising his role of Stu, and he’s got a number of movies waiting to be released as well. You may have seen him in The Tomorrow War or on Netflix’s Love, or maybe you know him from his time with The Birthday Boys, a comedy troupe that had a two-season show on IFC, produced by Bob Odenkirk.

His picks today speak to who he is as a performer. There’s Tommy Boy, the movie that made a case for Chris Farley as a movie star. He also picked South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, which he saw at the perfect impressionable age. And finally, he picked The Muppet Movie, which feels like the most Mike Mitchell film of all time.

Our response film was brand-new to Mike, which is always fun, especially when it’s something as silly as Amazon Women on the Moon.

Finally, this week’s selection for the Hip Pocket Hall of Fame was chosen because this episode was recorded the week that David Lynch passed away. I had no choice, so buckle up as we dig deep into Eraserhead.

The Hip Pocket #207 - Eric Vespe

Épisode 1

vendredi 25 avril 2025 • Durée 01:53:58

ERIC VESPE cut his teeth as Quint at Ain’t It Cool, starting with the site when he was still in high school, and he grew up embedded on film sets all over the world. He has written hundreds if not thousands of interviews and set visits, and along with his creative parter Aaron Morgan, he’s also made several short horror films while developing various feature projects.

He was one of the first people I invited to be on the show, in large part because he’s become a podcasting superstar with The Kingcast and The Spiel, focused on two of pop culture’s most totemic artists. I was not surprised when he came back with two films right away, because I think if you turn my friend into a math equation, his first film plus his second film is a pretty handy summation of who he is.

I mean, his Hip Pocket choices are Almost Famous, Jaws, and A Matter of Life and Death, the Powell and Pressberger masterpiece. I mean, Eric really is the kid from Almost Famous, but for the movie business in the early 2000s, and of course, he took his online name from Spielberg’s breakthrough blockbuster, something that he found incredibly awkward when he actually met Spielberg, as we’ll discuss. That last film? Well, Eric’s a big ol’ softie, which is one of the reasons I love him, and that movie speaks directly to that gooey romantic heart of his.

I figured if he’s going to give you a core couple of pieces of his identity as his picks, I can do the same, so I’m adding Lawrence of Arabia to the Hip Pocket Hall of Fame this week.

The Hip Pocket #206 - Bear McCreary

Épisode 1

vendredi 14 mars 2025 • Durée 02:03:30

BEAR MCCREARY is our guest today, and he couldn’t have been more of a delight. From the moment I contacted him about being on the show, he was engaged and excited. He sent me a number of possible combinations of films and themes before landing on the one he went with: Movies that combine rock music and symphonic score on their soundtracks.

Makes sense. After all, McCreary is one of the hardest-working film and TV composers today. His mentor was the legendary Elmer Bernstein, so he learned about film composition from one of the all-time greats, but he’s also a working rock musician who frequently collaborates with his brother Brendan. His breakthrough work was the Battlestar Galactica reboot, and his music was a huge part of that show’s identity. He’s done terrific work for Outlander, Foundation, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. His recent album The Singularity features contributions from guests like Rufus Wainwright, Slash, Buck Dharma, Scott Ian, Joe Satriani, and Corey Taylor. In 2019, he wrote the score for Godzilla, King of the Monsters, a score that my son, a lifelong Godzilla fan, refers to as “straight f*****g fire.”

His three Hip Pocket choices were Highlander, Pink Floyd - The Wall, and Heavy Metal, and I felt it was my moral imperative to choose Phantom of the Paradise as our response film.

Finally, I was in a mood after all of that, so I picked Hedwig and the Angry Inch to join the Hip Pocket Hall of Fame.

The Hip Pocket #205 - Clay Keller

Saison 2 · Épisode 205

vendredi 7 mars 2025 • Durée 01:56:42

CLAY KELLER is a writer, actor, and podcaster, and one of the hosts of Screen Drafts, a collaborative competitive movie discussion game where groups of people battle it out to create the definitive lists on topic after topic after movie loving topic. He was one of the hosts of the now-defunct Vidiots podcast, and he’s helped create a sprawling community of movie fans who can endlessly debate the various categories that are introduced each week.

His three Hip Pocket selections were Broadcast News, Malice, and Summer Hours. Craig chose True Stories as our response film.

Finally, Drew inducted Quick Change into the Hip Pocket Hall of Fame.

The Hip Pocket #204 - Bryan Cogman

Épisode 1

vendredi 28 février 2025 • Durée 01:27:01

BRYAN COGMAN is today’s guest, and he’s showing his sensitive side with his choices. This might be a surprise if you primarily know him from his WGAw-nominatd work on Game Of Thrones as a writer/producer. He was educated at Juliard as an actor, and he’s certainly got a big soft spot in his heart for great performances. He’s also worked on remakes of Sword in the Stone and Zorro for Disney, with the latter in development as a series for Wilmer Valderama.

His three Hip Pocket selections were About A Boy, Broadway Danny Rose, and Lost in Translation. Aundria chose The Shape of Things as our response film.

Finally, Drew inducted Freebie & The Bean into the Hip Pocket Hall of Fame.

The Hip Pocket #203 - Jason Pargin

Épisode 1

vendredi 21 février 2025 • Durée 01:47:31

JASON PARGIN is today’s guest, and he came ready to dig deep! No surprise if you’ve read his acclaimed novels like John Dies at the End, Zoey Punches the Future in the Dick, or This Book is Full of Spiders, or if you know his work from Cracked.com. He has a massive TikTok following these days and his latest book, I’m Starting To Worry About This Black Box of Doom, feels like an essential text for our turbulent times.

His three Hip Pocket selections were American Beauty, Fight Club, and Office Space, and I picked the Alan J. Pakula film Orphans as our response.

Finally, Drew inducted The Virgin Suicides into the Hip Pocket Hall of Fame.
