On this episode, I chat with Philip Marinello from The Substance podcast about an under-seen killer thriller of British cinema from Michael Powell: 1960's Peeping Tom. We discuss this film's legacy in relation to Psycho the very same year, how Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker rescued and revived it, and what it means to be an audience obsessed with moving images and how they make us complicit in the horrific events of the movie.

Today on the show, I chat with MUBI head of audio and podcast host Rico Gagliano about Spike Lee's vibrant and vital 1989 masterpiece Do The Right Thing. We discuss our initial gut reactions to the film and how its legacy and impact has only gotten stronger since its release, and Rico discusses what he learned from interviewing Spike Lee as well as what people should take away from the film now.

Today on the show, I discuss the provocative, groundbreaking "Teen Apocalypse" trilogy from New Queer Cinema icon Gregg Araki: Totally Fucked Up, The Doom Generation, and Nowhere. Set in the hazy wastelands of Los Angeles, the films follow various groups of teens who explore drugs, sex, television, and societal collapse through deadpan humor and witty observations on the end of the world.

On today's show, I'm joined once again by the Concessions gang as we make a dangerous trek through existentialist hell in two classic nail-biter thrillers: The Wages of Fear by Clouzot and Sorcerer by Friedkin. We talk about how the films tackle similar themes and material while remaining distinct, the social and political implications of each, and how the promise of money can drive a man to his absolute limit. Was it all worth it? Find out in our conversation.
