Debt to Cinema 007: Following
The first selection in my self proclaimed, soft reboot of the show is something I’ve been meaning to watch for 4.5 years. You know when Criterion releases a flick there is something special about it, and this neo noir is no exception. Don’t let this one sit on the shelf like me, digital or otherwise #IdBuyThatForADollar …again
Two Cents 018: Movie Reviews, Us, and The News
The episode in which we talk about Star Wars making more money at the box office than actual releases, Episode 7 coming to Netflix next year, Back to the Future Day, Chris Rock hosting the Oscars, Power Rangers casting announcements, Disney adapting more attractions, the Sherlock Victorian special, and YouTube Red subscription service. Plus, discussion about Steve Jobs, Crimson Peak, Bridge of Spies, Room, Day of the Dead, Interior. Leather Bar, The Guest, You’re Next, and Paranormal Activity.
Debt to Cinema 005: Bay of Blood
This week’s selection was a double dipping for me – was more interested in crossing something off my Halloween list than anything I really had shame about. Was pretty scary too, the recording, not the film, when I started fearing it would be the last one I could ever see.
Two Cents 017: Get Down With The Sickness
The episode in which I delay going to the emergency room to record a show about the final Star Wars trailer, The Hateful Eight being longer on 70mm, Jennifer Lawrence’s essay about the pay wage gap, HBO’s show about feminism in the 60s, a Die Hard “pre-boot,” a ton of comic book adaptations on TV, War Games going interactive, and more Lego Batman news. Plus discussion about The Uninvited, To the Wonder, Red Oaks, Unfriended, The Final Girls, and It Follows.
Debt to Cinema 003: All That Jazz
For reasons that escape me currently I decided to go against the grain and select something outside of the horror genre this week. I wanted something that neither of us had seen. Sometimes you get more than you bargained for.
Two Cents 015: I Kick Ass for the Lord!
The episode in which we discuss where huge franchises are going, Steven Soderbergh’s next project having interactive narrative paths, Tarantino recording movies on VHS, Taika Waititi being tapped to direct Thor: Ragnarok, Phil Lord and Chris Miller adapting Serial, the next wave of films being transported to the small screen, planes offering “free” movie streaming, and Amazon bullying Google and Apple to support Prime Instant Video. Plus we discuss The Iron Giant, Creep, Baghead, and Peter Jackson’s Braindead (aka Dead Alive).
S2E23: The Walk
As a special treat for one of Steve’s final days in California, we drove out to Hollywood to catch this latest spectacle in the TCL Chinese Theater’s laser projected IMAX 3D auditorium. A one of a kind movie palace which is fitting for the feat that was recreated for the biopic. If only the film was as special as our environment was that day.
Debt to Cinema 002: Kingdom of Heaven (Director’s Cut)
This weeks selection was made by Steve for purely superficial and selfish reasons; however, despite my general disliking of epics, I found myself really surprised and engaged by this spectacle. It has a great message at its core about the holy land that shouldn’t be missed.
Two Cents 014: Saturday Night Special
The episode in which Steve had plans so we recorded a day early. Topics discussed include Bill Finger, Furious 8’s director woes, Fox adapting Agatha Christie, the Oculus VR press conference, Mubi’s rise from obscurity after snagging a Paul Thomas Anderson exclusive, Ridley Scott’s proposed Prometheus title.
Plus we talk about The Babadook, Limitless, its TV adaptation, and some pilots (Minority Report, The Muppets, Scream Queens).
