It's the 30th anniversary of this Coen Brothers classic so we're digging it out of the archive for a re-release. Thanks to überfan Anthony Basich who commissioned this personal podcast, for one of his favorite films, "Barton Fink". We talk about the occasionally dark, occasionally funny, very deep and dreamy, take on the creative process, the Hollywood establishment, the rise of national socialism, the dangers of homoerotic suppression, an expose of ghostwriters, and wait--what the hell? What is this film, anyway? We grapple with these issues and more.

This week’s prestige film is Pump Up the Volume. Christian Slater plays a mild mannered highschooler by day who transforms into pirate radio station DJ Happy Harry Hard-on by night, to scandalize his conservative town with profanity laced tirades about sex, drugs, and the utter meaningless of life. Is this movie just teen-agey angsty bullshit, or does it have something relevant to say in 2021 where everyone has a microphone and a public platform? Join us for the podcast to find out.

This week, we’ve got my absolute favorite Paul Giamatti movie, Sideways. It’s a well-written but also hilarious movie where an extremely depressed Paul Giamatti begrudgingly helps his college roommate philander his way through northern California wine country. It has some all-time classic Giamatti moments that we can’t wait to talk about. Get Sideways with us this on this podcast.

Forrest Gump is an artifact of a more innocent age; a time before Tom Hanks learned to make fire. Before Robin Wright made binge-watching a lifestyle. Before Hollywood acknowledged that Pulp Fiction had changed the way audiences engaged with movies. Join us for the podcast to take a trip back in time and find out if this Academy darling still holds up.

You've seen the trailer for The Green Knight, right? It looks really cool, like a flashier, trippier version of Excalibur. I mean, look at that poster! That's awesome! Well, if that's what you're expecting of the movie you're going to be disappointed. It's definitely more of an art film than an action movie. Check out the podcast to hear our non-spoiler review and trailer talk and then, if you're a club member or patron, stick around for the full spoiler review.

This is in the running for the worst podcast Bald Move has ever released. One of us was feeling what this movie was doing. The other, not so much. We also struggled to figure out exactly what this movie's thesis was. Regardless, we talk for about an hour about Liam Neeson's wolf-based Taken follow-up.

Marriage Story is deceptively named, it has a deceptive poster, and its characters are deceiving (or at least deluding) themselves and their spouse. It's a passionate movie that also feels real in the way that it could happen to anyone anywhere, even though its happening to two exceptionally successful people.

It’s the lesser-known, though still excellent, Al Pacino gangster film where he plays a recently released Puerto Rican gangster in NY who wants out of the game, he just needs to scrape together the cash to buy his way into his buddy’s tropical rent-a-car biz. It also stars a young John Leguizamo as Benny from the Bronx who’s the next generation of gangsters looking to make a name for themselves. It’s a great movie and we had a great time covering it. You gotta see Sean Penn as a coked up criminal lawyer in this one.

Almost famous is one of those movies that shouldn't feel as real as it does. It's an outrageous story about a teenaged musical critic who goes on tour with an up and coming rock band in the 1970s and accidentally finds himself writing the cover story for Rolling Stone. Totally relatable, right? Well, turns out it's a semi-autobiographical depiction of the writer / director Cameron Crowe's childhood, who spent his formative years touring with the likes of Skynyrd and Zeppelin as a music critic. You have to wonder how deep the similarities go when you see some of the stuff that happens in the movie, but it's immensely enjoyable and the soundtrack is fantastic. Join us for the podcast to hear our thoughts on Almost Famous.

Maybe it's young Anthony Hopkins? Maybe it's the exceptional sound design? Maybe it's just that his style hadn't fully blossomed? Whatever the case, it's possible that we’ve found a David Lynch movie that’s un-Lynchian enough for even Jim to love!
