1 hr 48 min - Chronicles of Mann (Volume 4.5/5.5): "FERRARI" [2023]...Crossing the Finish Line with Style or Just a False Start?In this special intermission of our Chronicles of Mann, we review the great director’s long-awaited return in eight years to the big screen: Ferrari. But oh how the mighty stumble. Was the passion project a case of too much desire with not enough resources? Or did the obsession with the icon blind the auteur in his pursuit of a decent story? We look at the surprising cons and still present pros in Mann’s high-speed biopic.Special Thanks: Santa Monica College Center for Media & DesignSocial Media__________Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRU4sgYqu73QLJ1g-46voFQ/featuredInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/breaking180podcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100077800341762Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breaking180Alci's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/alcirengifo115/Sebastian's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/sc2768/Jose’s Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/31LHL57 min

40 min - Do We Recommend? Episode 10: "Freud's Last Session"
In our latest Do We Recommend we sit on the couch with one of the season's most pleasant surprises, "Freud's Last Session," starring Anthony Hopkins as Sigmund Freud and Matthew Goode as C.S. Lewis. It's a crackling, piercing meditation on rationalism, faith and unspoken truths. Plus, we share a bit of the rowdy, hilarious and rather charming Q&A we witnessed with a very sozzled Goode.

In our latest Do We Recommend we take a look at two unique and profound new films. Todd Haynes’s “May December” pairs Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore in a piercing take on the unnerving human truths behind a famous scandal; German maestro Wim Wenders’s new 3D documentary “Anselm” poetically captures the essence of a great artist and his provocative work, while raising questions about how to confront dark history.

1 hr 1 min - Do We Recommend? Episode 8: "Killers of the Flower Moon" & "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial"
In our latest Do We Recommend, we take a look at two important late works from two genuine American masters. "Killers of the Flower Moon" is Martin Scorsese's epic drama about the 1921 Osage murders in Oklahoma, told with a searing human angle. "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial" is the last film by the late William Friedkin which is a master class in sustaining tension in a space with magnificent actors. These two films are also powerful explorations of American history and human psychology.
