The Exorcist (1973) 1:13:37

1d ago1:13:37

1:13:37

In this episode, I join Hugo and Priscilla Luna to explore the iconic 1973 horror film The Exorcist, directed by William Friedkin. We dissect its classification as horror, delve into its psychological themes, and reflect on how early exposure to the film shapes perceptions of the genre. We examine the historical context of post-Vietnam America, dis…

Do the Right Thing (1989) 35:32

4h ago35:32

35:32

BODY & SOUL this month. That means Black Directors and Black Leads and we follow up our kickoff with another actor/director movie. We couldn’t get through this month without puffing a Spike Lee joint so it’s time to discuss one of his most essential works and Spike Lee’s most significant lead performance in one of his own films is, of course, 1989’…

Buck and the Preacher (1972) 26:46

2d ago26:46

26:46

It’s a fresh month and we’re coming at you with the freshest theme that we’re calling “BODY & SOUL”. All month long is Black Directors and Black Leads and we’re gonna kick it off with the directorial debut of classic Black Hollywood royalty. When Sidney Poitier took over the director reigns for the 1972 western “BUCK AND THE PREACHER” he got bit by…

The Sixth Sense (1999) 28:06

5d ago28:06

28:06

New year, new overarching director theme! Last year we discussed every Lars von Trier feature film (that wasn’t a documentary). The process had its ups and downs. We may not have come out of that as better people. Wiser? Maybe. More traumatized? Sure. This year we’re hitting up another director whose filmography we will tackle over the course of 20…

Gladiator II (2024) 29:29

6d ago29:29

29:29

We’ve arrived at the end of January with an episode we actually recorded not long after the movie was released in theaters. This marks the end of a month of 5 DIRECTORS and the last of SIR RIDLEY SCOTT’S LAST FOUR and it stays historical with a sequel to his Oscar winning smash hit from over 20 years ago. Hanno, like anyone who isn’t Roman, hates R…

Napoleon (2023) 27:57

7d ago27:57

27:57

We’re nearing the end of week 5 of our director theme for January and it’s time for the third of “SIR RIDLEY SCOTT’S LAST FOUR” and this historical biographical epic certainly seemed, on the surface, like a lay up for award bait. It made money but didn’t do much inspiring. Sure it’s weird as hell having English accents pretending to be French but w…

Preview for February's Theme: BODY & SOUL 8:28

8d ago8:28

8:28

NOTE: this was published previously with most of it missing for some reason. Here is the full preview. This February we discuss films made by Black Directors with Black Actors as leads. The theme is called "BODY & SOUL" (bed music for this recording by Robert Glasper for the film "THE PHOTOGRAPH") Here's a link to a much more visual and entertainin…

House of Gucci (2021) 23:49

8d ago23:49

23:49

We’re closing down January’s 5th week of it’s directors event with “SIR RIDLEY SCOTT’S LAST FOUR” and it’s a lot of historical but we go more into the more recent fashion history / true crime territory. The kids love their fashion. Gucci is practically an institution with how successfully it has sold its version of class and wealth to the middle cl…

Mulholland Drive (2001) with Mike Miley 1:33:52

9d ago1:33:52

1:33:52

In this episode, we explore David Lynch's enigmatic film "Mulholland Drive" with author Mike Miley, who is preparing to release "David Lynch's American Dreamscape." Our discussion unravels the film’s complex narrative and its critique of the American dream, framed against the backdrop of Hollywood. Mike shares his personal experience discovering th…

The Last Duel (2021) 32:50

9d ago32:50

32:50

What a fun month it’s been exploring some directors so for the final week we’re hitting up someone who is easily our most prolific, is very well known and has some beloved works under his belt. We’re talking about Tony Scott’s brother, Sir Ridley for week 5’s sub-theme “SIR RIDLEY SCOTT’S LAST FOUR”. The first of Ridley’s last four did not light up…

Household Saints (1993) 36:52

12d ago36:52

36:52

We’re at the end of week four this January and that means the last discussion in what we’ve dubbed “NANCY SAVOCA’S ITALIAN HEARTS TRILOGY”. We’re discussing a film that got a 4K re-release in independent theaters last year and is available on DVD over at Kino-Lorber if you’re interested in such things. Nancy Savoca’s first three films didn’t incine…

Dogfight (1991) 35:59

14d ago35:59

35:59

Week four of January’s theme of “5 DIRECTORS” is very heartfelt because we’re analyzing Nancy Savoca’s first three feature films in this week’s sub-theme that we’ve dubbed “NANCY SAVOCA’S ITALIAN HEARTS TRILOGY”. Criminally underrated in their time but film fans are re-evaluating Savoca’s movies today thanks to re-releases by Criterion and Kino-Lor…

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1975) with Nathan Gelgud 1:01:48

16d ago1:01:48

1:01:48

Nathan Gelgud, a comic artist, discusses the 1974 film The Taking of Pelham One Two Three on the show this week. We explore the film's representation of New York City during a tumultuous period marked by crime and economic decline, highlighting its authenticity through character accents and Walter Matthau's performance. Nathan reflects on the diver…

True Love (1989) 33:36

16d ago33:36

33:36

We’re onto week four of January’s theme of “5 DIRECTORS” and we hit up another underrated filmmaker who has been getting more of her flowers in hindsight with some key film re-releases in the last few years but her first film we’re discussing did manage to beat our “Sex, Lies and Videotape” that year at Sundance. Today we’re discussing the first fi…

Bigger Than Life (1956) 24:52

19d ago24:52

24:52

January’s theme is “5 DIRECTORS” in which we analyze films by a different director each week and we end Nicholas Ray week with a technical marvel that deals with something that isn’t often focused upon during the Hayes code. Addiction. James Mason produced and starred in this story based off of a true to life article from the New York Times in whic…

Hot Blood (1956) 26:59

20d ago26:59

26:59

It’s a loaded week of Nicholas Ray spanning the years 1952 to 1956. He actually made 6 films total at this time so we had to narrow out the fourth one between this deep cut film and a James Cagney western. We already discussed two genre bending Nicholas Ray Westerns this week so we turn our attention to what is easily the deepest cut film we will d…

Rebel Without a Cause (1955) 36:57

21d ago36:57

36:57

The third week of January is devoted to Nicholas Ray movies from 1952 to 1956 and we’ve arrived at what is easily his most iconic and infamous movie and it might have been like other Nicholas Ray movies, acclaimed and retroactively appreciated on a cult film level, but in less than a month of it’s release it’s lead perished in a fatal car crash. Fa…

Johnny Guitar (1954) 44:18

22d ago44:18

44:18

For January’s weekly director examinations we’re on week three with a loaded line up of Nicholas Ray Films spanning five years. Today it’s another standout western that stood out for being baffling to audiences when it initially released but history has grown kind to Ray’s 1954 film “JOHNNY GUITAR” for how unique it feels in any era. Joan Crawford …

Mirror (1975) with Revolutionary Left Radio and Amanda Joy Moon 1:26:51

23d ago1:26:51

Well, it's been a year and now our fourth episode in the Andrei Tarkovsky series. This is truly one of the greatest films ever made and I hope you enjoy our deep and vulnerable conversation.

The Lusty Men (1952) 43:11

23d ago43:11

43:11

We’re examining 5 DIRECTORS for January and for the third week we’re loaded up with our theme “NICHOLAS RAY 1952 to 1956”. Ray released 6 movies in that time period and we’re covering five of them. We start it off with a unique contemporary western starring Robert Mitchum ( a 100% Certified Official DAWG© ) and Susan Hayward who has us going like t…

Mikey & Nicky (1976) 52:32

26d ago52:32

52:32

Each week in January is devoted to a different director at certain stages in their career but this discussion marks the end of Elaine May week as we have now discussed every film that Elaine May directed. This movie represents a much more dramatic direction but in typical Elaine May fashion, the humor is often in the tragic details. We have a very …

The Heartbreak Kid (1972) 41:12

28d ago41:12

41:12

We’re examining the rest of Elaine May’s directed films this week and we’re into some deep cut quality comedies. Today’s discussion is darkly humorous in the sense that much of the humor Is centered around the self absorbed and deceitful nature of Lenny Cantor who sees greener grass everywhere he goes, especially after he’s gotten what he thinks he…

A New Leaf (1971) 44:34

1M ago44:34

44:34

It’s the start of week 2 for January’s theme of “5 DIRECTORS” and we encountered this week’s director when we discussed “Ishtar” last April. An interesting story on film and behind the scenes. The director of that film would not direct another movie again. But before this, comedy writer, performer and producer Elaine May had three previous films un…

Dune (1984) 33:26

1M ago33:26

33:26

Week one of January’s theme of 5 DIRECTORS ends with our last of David Lynch’s first three films and it’s one that he sometimes disavows but also one that led to a long standing relationship with actor Kyle MacLachlan. It seemed like it was nothing less than a miracle to adapt Frank Herbert’s “DUNE” to film considering the brick wall that many dire…

The Elephant Man (1980) 34:31

1M ago34:31

34:31

For January’s theme of 5 DIRECTORS, each week is pretty much its own subcategory. We’re halfway through “David Lynch’s First Three” with today’s discussion of one of his most accessible feature films that features and iconic performance by John Hurt as the infamously disfigured historical figure “John/Joseph Merrick”. It seems that Lynch’s follow u…

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Maybe we could use a break after the busy holiday months but we’re just so damned anxious to show off our new makeover that we gotta hit the ground running for January’s theme of 5 DIRECTORS and for week one’s director we got a fellow we are fairly familiar with on this show. Week one is DAVID LYNCH’S FIRST THREE and if you know a l…

Christmas is in the can. New Years is just around the corner but it’s still that most wonderful time of the year and your soon to be permanently renamed movie talk feed/show/pod is here with another Christmas classic featuring one of our favorites, Robert Mitchum.

With Christmas in the can, now Hanukkah’s the man. When it comes to holiday themed movies, Hanukkah might be even more scarce than Thanksgiving but for the third day of Hanukkah we got the Sand-man coming up in the clutch with the 2002 animated holiday film “EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS” directed by Seth Kearsley. By “Sand-man” we mean, of course, Adam Sandl…

Merry dang Christmas. Yeah, we got a Christmas Day drop. Angela is making us work on a major holiday for little to no (zero) pay. She’s a real “Ebenezer Scrooge”. This episode of MOVIEHUMPERS (soon to be “THE PROJECTORS”) might be the loosest one yet. Way more loose than your mother. What are we saying? Why are we being so antagonistic? Is this wha…

Christmas in Connecticut (1945) 35:08

It’s Christmas week here at MOVIEHUMPERS (soon to be called THE PROJECTORS) and we’re hitting up another classic era Christmas romantic comedy. The farce gets pretty thick in today’s discussion but the charm is consistent in this comedy of errors starring a beaming Barbara Stanwyck in Peter Godfrey’s 1945 comedy “CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT”. Stanwyck…

We’re deep into our second annual Christmas movie theme and we haven’t mined any material from, or inspired by, the Charles Dickens classic “A Christmas Carol”. Fuck it, this year we’ll do two adaptations and maybe catch an old version of the story next year. This particular adaptation was prime basic cable Christmas break material when we were kid…

Santa Claus vs The Devil (1959) 32:12

32:12

At this point you’ve probably heard Andy Williams say it 500 times…it’s the most wonderful time of the year and in the spirit of Christmas Camp we’ve gone into some deep cut low budget yuletide filmmaking that isn’t without some imagination alongside some tediousness. Maybe it felt so dragging because we’re moving so fast in our technological world…
