Captain Marvel takes center stage as Chad C has to go see it twice because he fell asleep during the first screening. Is that telling of how boring this film is? Does Chad C have a sleep disorder? Will my kids love this movie? Is there a sweaty volley-ball scene? All these questions answered and some movie called Greta too.

Welcome to Movie Homework!

This week we talk all about Blow Out:

To kick off our Brian DePalma series we're diving right in with the 1981 cult-classic Blow Out.  Based in part on the Michaelangelo Antonioni film and one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite films of all time, Alyx and Jack bring in the Binge Sportscast's own TM to talk all about the flick.  Does it hold up, where does it fit in DePalma's overall filmography and is it worth the cult status its earned over the years?

All this and more, so download now!

Be sure to tune in next time as we watch Dressed To Kill:

For the first retrospective of 2019, I wanted to take the Aftertaste into realms it hadn’t been in. Yes we have covered a variety of franchises and film series. But one thing we haven’t done is focus on the resume of one filmmaker and one filmmaker only. Who better to do this with than the master of the ‘ultimate man film’, Michael Mann. With a wide variety of films and a meticulous style that has attempted to be replicated but has never been duplicated, Mann presents quite a set of films to look at. In order to do so, we once again brought in Michael Guarnieri from the Hannibal Lecter Retrospective to do what he had originally contacted me to do to begin with. A Michael Mann Retrospective.

The nine year detour of biographical films and docudramas which Michael Mann's career took after the success of his crime drama Heat ended in 2004 with his return to the drama called Collateral. With a script which floated around Hollywood for years, Mann did uncredited rewrites and took the original plan of Russell Crowe and Adam Sandler starring off the table in favor of putting his old friend Jamie Foxx and huge Hollywood star Tom Cruise in their roles. Did all these moves add up to a rewarding viewing experience?

Join myself, Mike, and Matt as we continue to truck on through director Michael Mann's filmography with Collateral, and stay tuned to this space as we only have three more to go!

Alyx and Pete record a commentary for The Matrix which was released almost 20 years ago.  Does this movie hold up?  Would other actors be better in these roles?  What if Mike Tyson and Sylvester Stallone were the leads?  So, sit back, sync up, and plug into The Matrix.  Enjoy!!!

In order to do so, we once again brought in Michael Guarnieri from the Hannibal Lecter Retrospective to do what he had originally contacted me to do to begin with. A Michael Mann Retrospective.

Though The Insider was a major critical success for director Michael Mann, the box office didn't reflect the same amount of prosperity. At the same time, movie star Will Smith was coming off the biggest disaster of his career in the at this point infamous 1999 western/comedy Wild, Wild West. Fortunately for them, their paths would cross in the form of boxing legend Muhammed Ali. After decades of script drafts and start/stops with other directors such as Spike Lee and Barry Sonnenfeld (yes, THAT Barry Sonnenfeld) Mann and Smith were ready to take on the film called Ali. How'd they do?

Join myself, Mike, and Matt as we answer that question and a hell of a lot more in this intricately detailed podcast. Hear Mike's respect for Ali's namesake subject, and mine, which admittedly had to develop over time. Where does Matt fall into with all this? Listen below to find out!

After Heat was released and made the huge splash that it did, Michael Mann could make anything he wanted. He ended up waiting four years, deciding to do the story of his friend, 60 Minutes producer Lowell Bergman's efforts to get one of the most important segments in news television history on the air. With his old buddy Al Pacino and about to breakout star Russell Crowe set to star, Mann made 1999's The Insider, garnering 7 Academy Award nominations in the process.

Join myself, Matt, and Mike as we dissect and review the film, and Mike gives quite the insight as to what it was like living where this whole story was going down. Don't forget to come back on Friday as we'll post our just recorded Ali review, and we continue down the road of Michael Mann's aesthetic.
