À propos de cet audio

Two siblings go film by film through cinema history, from the blockbusters to the arthouse, with discussions on what these movies meant then and how we see them now. Using the BFI Sight and Sound list as a starting point, we’ve watched canonical films from the silent era up to the 60’s, and now we examine the decade when the cinema medium exploded. We don’t have film degrees or press passes, we like it unauthorized.

  • Bugonia (2025)
    Nov 12 2025

    We interrupt your regularly scheduled podcast to hash out our Bugonia feelings - does Yorgos Lanthimos strike a chord with his sci-fi class war extremity, or do these provocations ring hollow? Topics include: Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, Stanley Kubrick and Rian Johnson, and the nature of meaning in the universe.

  • Wanda (1970)
    Oct 29 2025

    This week we tackle another “reclaimed” classic, actress Barbara Loden’s sole feature-length directing effort, the spare character study Wanda. Should we be wary, like Paul Schrader suggested after the 2022 BFI Sight and Sound List was published, of the new canonizing of just this sort of previously unsung film? To find the answer, we go deep on Loden’s aesthetic choices, and the themes to be teased out of both the images and the narrative of this american ghost story.

  • A Touch of Zen (1970)
    Oct 15 2025

    King Hu stood at a crossroads early in his career, just before the release of 1967’s Dragon Inn. He had left Hong Kong and the film industry he had just begun to break into, following his mentor Li Han-Hsiang to Taiwan at a time when there was no taiwanese film industry. To make matters worse, Li’s epic gamble Beauty of Beauties had just flopped, casting the entire future of their independent enterprise into doubt. Against all odds, Dragon Inn was a smash success, and set the template for King’s fantastical high-flying martial arts films to follow. On this episode we discuss his direct follow-up, a film that threatens to bend the genre beyond its breaking point, and we interrogate what works and what doesn’t about one of the most ambitious chinese films to date.
