We FINALLY leave L.A….and we do so by crossing the Pacific Ocean to discuss Akira Kurosawa’s seminal film: “Seven Samurai”. Join the 1001 by 1 crew as we discuss planning missions, the importance of the length, and which of the Seven Samurai would we be? In addition, we ponder over Toshiro Mifune’s performance and whether or not it was too “big” (not unlike his sword). Also, this week Adam recommends the film inspired by this one, “The Magnificent Seven”(available on Prime, Tubi, Kanopy, and many more), Britt recommends another samurai film with “Sword of the Stranger” (available to rent on Microsoft), and Joey keeps it Kurosawa adjacent by recommending “Living” (available to rent on most major platforms).

We just can’t get enough of L.A. over here at 1001 by 1, but this week we jumped from the 1980s to the 2010s and started dancing on the hoods of our cars because we are breaking down Damien Chazelle’s “La La Land”. The gang breaks it all down here: the chemistry of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, the movie musical homages, the alternate timeline for our young lovers, and all things jazz. Also, this week Britt recommends “Starry Eyes” (currently on Tubi) while Joey and Adam keep things Chazelle oriented recommending “Babylon” (currently on Paramount+) & “First Man” (available to rent on most major platforms).

We’re leaving David Lynch behind but we’re keeping Los Angeles as this week we take the Red Car into Toon Town to discuss Robert Zemeckis’ groundbreaking film: “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”.

Also, this week Joey recommends the “Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers” film (currently on Disney+), and Adam & Britt jointly recommend both “Paddington” (currently on Netflix) & “Paddington 2” (currently on TBS/TNT).

We’re back to Joey’s picks, we’re back to black & white, but this time we can’t leave because our sick “baby” might start crying. That’s right – this week we discuss David Lynch’s feature-length debut: “Eraserhead”.

Adam brought a curve ball to the game this week with a film none of the hosts had seen. We go to Italy (via a tall, handsome, American man) to discuss the Luchino Visconti epic: “The Leopard”. Take a long horse ride down a dusty road with us as we the discuss the gorgeous design of the film, the director-unapproved “American Cut” of the film, and whether or not Burt Lancaster works in this film. Also, “Justice for Concetta”, Martin Scorsese’s Sight and Sound picks, and some surprise answers to whether or not this should be in the book. Plus, this week Adam recommends “Dirty Dancing” (available to rent on most major platforms), Britt recommends the TV series “The Great” (currently on Hulu), and Joey recommends “Mean Streets” (currently on Freevee).

Britt brings to us our second film from The Archers (Powell & Pressburger) and takes us the ballet stage as we discuss the technicolor gem: “The Red Shoes”. Do some leg stretches and hit your spotlight as we break down this film: the Moira Shearer love triangle, the Hans Christian Andersen story the film is based on, and the absolutely magical ballet sequence in the middle of the film. BUT WAIT – is this another film that the three hosts don’t agree on? You’ll have to tune in to find out. Also, this week Britt recommends the 2018 version of “Suspiria” (currently on Prime), Joey recommends “The Menu” (currently on HBO Max0, and Adam recommends “Smile” (currently on Paramount+).

Joey continues his selections in Season 4 and he’s keeping it dark, black & white, and slightly disturbed as we chat about Robert Egger’s sophomore feature: “The Lighthouse”. The crew hits a stumbling block with this film as it is the first film with no consensus as to whether or not it should be in the book. Britt, Joey, & Adam break down the dialogue rooted in the time the film is set, uber attention to details, and the menacing birds. Also, this week Joey recommends “Midsommar”(currently on Kanopy & Showtime), Adam recommends “Tár” (available to rent of most major platfoms), and Britt recommends “The Ritual” (currently on Netflix).

Joey brings us his first pick of the season – a classic, groundbreaking German film that he had not seen prior to the pod: Fritz Lang’s “M”. Join the crew as they talk about the inspiration behind the film, Lang’s masterclass directing on display, and the f***ing acting clinic that Peter Lorre puts on display. Also, the crew tackles a list regarding the “Top 10 Foreign Films of All Time” and…f**k “Cimarron”. In addition, Joey recommends “Easy A”(currently on Peacock), Adam recommends “Gone Baby Gone” (currently on HBO Max), and Britt recommends “The Hunt” (available on Tubi or Kanopy).

Britt, new co-host of the show, was scheduled to come back on 1001 by 1 after her initial guest spot talking about Takashi Miike’s “Audition”. Well, it seemed only appropriate to bring that next film into the spotlight for our new season – and we’re talking about Park Chan-wook’s style-bending thriller “Oldboy”. Join us as we delve into the world of Oh Dae-su and his hotel/prison, the huge directorial choices on display, the colors, the performances, and…of course…that f***ed up ending! Plus – we try and wrap our minds around the New York Times review of this film and we discuss the rest of the “Vengeance” trilogy. Also, this week Adam recommends “Speak No Evil” (currently on Shudder and AMC+), Joey recommends “Shiva Baby” (currently on HBO Max & Kanopy), and Britt recommends “Decision to Leave” (currently on MUBI).
