Films(trips)

What happens when a bunch of paying work, family illnesses, and overall lack of sleep make doing a regular episode of Films(trips) a dubious effort? Why, Andrew and Dave PLAY FOR TIME!

In this instance, the podcasting duo talk about the Batman film franchise and the upcoming 2021 film, THE BATMAN. Somehow, this leads to endless tangents about American politics, what real life figure Rupert Thorn should be modeled after, Corey Feldman, and Daniel Radcliff's non-existent (or is it?) band.

We're sorry for this one, folks.

Next Episode: Really, seriously, the 100th (regular) episode of Films(trips)!

All music by Andrew Kannegiesser. Editing by David. Rot in jail, Harvey.

It's Christmas in March here on Films(trips)!

That's right: bucking the trend of looking at a Christmas film during the Christmas season, Andrew and Dave take a look at director Frank Capra's 1946 film IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE in the lead up to Easter! After all, what season isn't the time to talk about mental health, wealth redistribution, and the dangers of unrestrained capitalism?

Next Episode: Films(trips) hits 100 episodes with an episode looking at the GREATEST MARRIED COUPLE OF ALL TIME.

All music by Andrew Kannegeisser. Editing by Dave Babbitt. And, as ever, to hell with HUAC.

Folks, guess what? Andrew and Dave are back in post-WWII Germany! AND they're back in Sam Fuller country!

That's right, the duo are taking a look at the 1959 Samuel Fuller... well, peculiarity, VERBOTEN! What do the duo make of this tale of forbidden love, national identity, and the threat of neo-Nazis? Will Andrew stumble upon what actor James Best is most known for? Will Dave fumble his sentences more than usual? Will either of them be prepared the film's climax that is questionable in its good taste? Tune in and find out!

Next Episode: You will believe thirty-odd-year-old Jimmy Stewart is a teenager. Actually, you won't, but the filmmakers go through with it anyway.

All music by Andrew Kannegeisser. Editing by Dave Babbitt. Almost at 100, folks!

Peace reigns at last!

Having bickered over Ridley Scott's 2017 film ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD, Andrew and Dave find a common love for one of Scott's masterworks, BLADE RUNNER! Yes, it is the film that exists in five distinct cuts (and unlike ALEXANDER, they are all worth watching), has left film geeks debating both plot points and themes, and which has dazzled generations with its gorgeous production design. But this episode seeks to answer the most important question of all:

Is Andrew or Dave a Repilcant?

Next Episode: You wouldn't necessarily think of Paul Anka and Germany immediately after WWII would go together, but you aren't Samuel Fuller, are you?

Music by Andrew Kannegiesser. Editing by Dave Babbitt. Stay tuned in ten years for the re-edit which inserts Andrew's lost dream sequence.

Enjoy Films(trips), but think the hosts don't bicker with each other nearly enough? Well good news! This episode is for you!

This time, Andrew and Dave take a look at Ridley Scott's ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD, the 2017 true crime drama starring Michelle Williams, Christopher Plummer, and Mark Wahlberg. Before the episode is over, you will:

-Hear Andrew and Dave debate what it means for a film to be "solid".

-Thrill as Andrew is introduced to the existence of the DIE HARD knock off, CRACKERJACK!

-Debate whether it is really even fair to compare ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD to the (far superior) THERE WILL BE BLOOD.

-Listen to Dave get increasingly flustered at Andrew's surprisingly anger towards a film both generally agree is "fine".

-And more!

Next Episode: Eye engineers! Fake owls! Drunk Harrison Ford!

Time to get fatalistic!

Yes, that's right folks: Films(trips) is back, and this time the podcasting duo of Andrew and Dave are taking a look at David Fincher's 1995 bit of nihilism, SE7EN! Does this twenty-five year old film hold up? Will Dave mistakenly attribute a certain music video to Fincher? Will Andrew remember the name of Burt Young when David fails to? Tune in and find out!

Next Episode: Did you know that Andrew and Dave were once kidnapped and held for ransom? Unfortunately, no one was willing to pay the seven dollars total to recover them. The Go Fund Me to pay to keep them away, however, was a smash success.

(Note: there is some mild, MILD cursing towards the very end of the episode. You'll all survive, but if listen to this show with children for some reason, just know what's coming.)

Needing to buy a week as they prep the next proper episode, Andrew and Dave instead spend this bonus episode talking about the recent Oscar nominations, despite both having seen less than half of the best picture nominees. Why doesn't David care about JOKER (or the Oscars at all)? How much does Andrew hate ONCE UPON A TIME... IN HOLLYWOOD? Do both agree that THE LIGHTHOUSE is freaking amazing?Tune in and find out!

Next Episode: See above.

Most music by Andrew Kannegeisser. Editing by Dave Babbitt. Apologies to all.

Eric Jones once again joins Andrew and Dave in the Films(trips)-mobile, and this time he finally gets to talk about his beloved Stanley Kubrick!

That's right! Having left Paul W.S. Anderson territory behind, the trio take a look at the 1987 war drama FULL METAL JACKET! What will they make of one of Kubrick's most divisive films? What perspective does Kubrick have about Vietnam? And most importantly, is Adam Baldwin part of the famous Baldwin family? Tune in and find out!

Next Episode: Worst episode of "Let's Make a Deal" ever.

In this episode of Films(trips) the podcasting duo of Andrew and Dave turn their attention to Paul Thomas Anderson's PHANTOM THREAD-

Wait, that's not right.

No, it turns out the duo are turning their attention to Paul W.S. Anderson's 1995 film MORTAL KOMBAT, starring Robin Shou! Can the podcasting duo find something intelligent to say about one of the better video game films ever game? Not really, but the film does lead to oddball jokes, shocking revelations about the pasts of both Andrew and Dave, and mutal admiration of Cary-Hiroyuki-Tagawa's hair.

Next Episode: A return to both Kubrick and intelligent conversation.

All music by Andrew Kannegeisser. Editing by David. And apparently Raiden belongs to the Shinto religion. Research: it is always important!

The year is 2020, and Andrew and Dave are back! And to kick things off, the duo are looking at a film they have sought to do for a great deal of time: STREETS OF FIRE, the rock and roll themed action film from writer/director Walter Hill!

Just how much do the duo love this film? Is STREETS A FIRE a film one can even properly articulate their experience of in words? Is listening to this episode of Films(trips) less likely to provoke anxiety than listening to news? Tune in to find out!

Next Episode: Alright, let's dance.
