On today’s podcast, we talked about Todd Solondz’s Storytelling. Picking up where Happiness left off with its provocative humor, deadbeat tone, and exploration of taboos, its, the bifurcated narrative splits the runtime into “fiction and nonfiction,” or more accurately, literature and cinema. The material gets pretty dark, per usual for Solondz, so in an effort to bring a little levity to the table, I unwrapped a pack of Elvis trading cards on air.

The good doctor has returned. Ahead of the 2nd edition of the Golden Geres, we revisited the film that started it all, Robert Altman's Dr. T & The Women.

The Cinema of Mad Men reaches its midpoint on today’s episode, as we look at one of the show’s very best episodes alongside the sole Hollywood effort by one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Corporate culture meets counterculture.

In “Far Away Places”, we see three perspectives on a day from characters trying to escape. Peggy emulates Don in a pitch and ends up living in his dark side. Don and Megan get clams and sherbet at a HoJo’s and have their big blowout fight. Roger breaks on through to the other side on LSD. Then, we talk about Antonioni’s underrated classic Zabriskie Point, getting into the signs, the vibes, the music, and more.

We talked about the story of Dorothy Stratten’s murder as directed by Bob Fosse, Star 80. It’s a film with a palpable feeling of evil in every frame, due in large part to Eric Roberts' masterfully sleazy performance. Then, Malcolm regaled us with his stories of European travel.
