Film Versus Film

In the final episode for this season, we're looking at white New Jersey men working in a convenience store and black lesbians working in a Philadelphia video store. Both films are great examples of the independent cinema explosion of the 1990's. Join us as we discuss doing Kevin Smith’s Clerks and Cheryl Dunye’s The Watermelon Woman.

Join us as we discuss the awards, nominations, films and behind-the-scenes political gossip of the 2026 Academy Awards. 

And as always we start this Oscars episode with some historical Oscars Trivia.

Two of the most influential Buddy films of all time. One redefined violence and comedy in the eighties, and the other ushered the empowered female narrative into Hollywood. Join us for Lethal Weapon (1987) and Thelma & Louise (1991).

Two fantastical stories about un-requited love, psychopathic love, revenge, friendship, misogyny, reproductive rights, stalking, stalking again and of course cold-blooded murder. This Christmas we’re doing Bob Clark’s Black Christmas and Richard Curtis' Love Actually.

Our special guest from last episode- Dance Expert Charles Cameron, tells us all about the time he met and hung out with actor Tobey Maguire.

Two films that deal with delusion, friendship, imprisonment, innocence and masculinity. One film won the big five oscars, the other broke new ground in technology. Join us as we compare Milos Forman’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and John Lasseter's Toy Story.

Two very contemporary films that present the modern state of America as a bit of a dumpster fire. Works of genius, or antifa propaganda? Join us as we discuss Ari Aster’s Eddington and Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another.

Two rags-to-riches stories told through the eyes of female sex-workers, then male directors. One story ends in romance, and the other a crying heap in the front seat of a car. Join us as we discuss Gary Marshall's Pretty Woman and Sean Baker’s Anora.

Two different portraits of obsession, compulsion and a critique of American capitalism. One film is set in the oil prospecting era, and the other, Wall Street. Today we’re doing Mary Harron’s American Psycho and P.T. Anderson’s There Will Be Blood.
