The Movie Loot Theme: Tino Mendes & Yellow Paper - The Heist

What does a young swineherd, a wooden puppet, a superhero, and a Founding Father have in common? Obvious, isn't it? They're all owned by Disney! That, and the fact that they were in some of the films I saw during the first weeks of September. Check out Episode 21 to hear my thoughts on them, as well as some thoughts on the new Oscar elegibility standards. Enjoy!

It's Episode 20 on 2020! and we continue with another Special Birthday Episode where I talk about your film recommendations, or "gifts". Once again, you delivered. From rewatches of old favorites like Hard Eight and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, to ones I had never heard of like Sennentuntschi and The Ballad of Lefty Brown. Check out my thoughts on all of them, as well as some thoughts from those that recommended them. Thanks!

In this special episode, the "loot" becomes a specific scene in a specific film that I love. I start with the scene where John Doe surrenders in David Fincher's Seven. Listen to my thoughts, analysis, and trivia about it.

Special Birthday Episode! My Birthday was a couple of weeks ago, so I asked you for film recommendations as "gifts" and you delivered with some fun and quality films. From ones I knew of and was looking forward to, like The Straight Story and Barking Dogs Never Bite, to the ones I had never heard of like Fat City and Odd Thomas. Check out my thoughts on all of them, as well as some thoughts from those that recommended them. Thanks!

I continue my test run of Disney+ with toys, genies, and bears, but also talk about grown up films. From video games to drug hazes, from Argentina to France, from Norway to the White House. That's some of what we get into in Episode 18 of Thief's Monthly Movie Loot. Check it out!

Welcome to Episode 17 of Thief's Monthly Movie Loot. This episode features a good mixture of mature films along with several films for the kids. From westerns and gory horror to lost fishes and feuding toys. We finally took Disney+ for a spin so we decided to take advantage of that and show our kids some of the classics. Check it out!

Episode 16 is out and full of surprises. Lots of films I didn't know about or expected to be bad, but ended up being quite good instead. From a Chinese drama about an aging mobster to a Korean drama about Buddhist monks, from the Philippines to the US, from an aspiring, black, lesbian filmmaker to a perspirating white hearthrob... it's all here. Check it out and let me know your thoughts!

In Episode 13, I go back to 1967's In the Heat of the Night to try to process some of what is happening around the US and the world and analyze some of the things that the film teaches us about race and prejudices. I also talk about the last five films I saw in May, from a Norwegian disaster film to a rewatch of Life is Beautiful, and a bit of shade thrown at a 1940s favorite. Thanks for listening.

Recorded LIVE in the middle of April 2024, this episode features our host Carlo as he and his guest Seth Vargas, co-host of Movie Friends Podcast, choose their loot by settling on the categories for the five films they will watch through the month. Listen to them talk about why they chose the categories they chose, and the possible films they would like to watch.

After this, stay tuned for our April Loot episode sometime later, where they will share their loot and give their thoughts on these films. Listen and Join the Loot!

Halfway through May and I'm about to call a May Day. Had a slow start, which is why this episode was delayed for a couple of days. But here it is! With everything from classics like Murder on the Orient Express, Escape from Alcatraz, and To Kill a Mockingbird, to modern animation like Song of the Sea, and a documentary. Will I get to my 15 film goal for the month? Stay tuned!

April is gone, and so is one of the best streaks of good/great films I've had. From classics like The Invisible Man and The Graduate, to more modern, critically acclaimed films like Parasite and Hell or High Water, to more obscure foreign films like Aniara or Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts. Come listen to me talk about these and a few others!
