For Your Consideration

For nearly two decades Christopher Nolan has been thrilling cinema audiences with bold, audacious films. Blockbusters like The Dark Knight, Inception, and this year's Dunkirk are the product of an incredible filmmaker at the top of his craft. On this week's edition of FYC, Mike and Dustin will be taking a look at Nolan's first theatrical release, 2000's ambitious noir thriller, Memento. Check the episode out to see whether or not Memento gets judged as a masterpiece or a museum piece.

Welcome back for another installment of FYC's open review program, All Things Considered. On this week's episode, Dustin and Mike talk about four movies that they think really stand out and are deserving of your love and attention. Films like Kevin Smith's body horror comedy, Tusk (2014), Jeff Baena's period comedy, The Little Hours (2017), Anthony DiBlasi's Last Shift (2014), and Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow's, DePalma (2015). So get comfortable, pop in your ear buds, and check out the discussions for episode seven of All Things Considered.

This week on FYC we tackle Pier Paolo Pasolini's horrific 1975 art film, Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. The film which purports to explore the themes of political corruption, abuse of power, sadism, perversion, sexuality and fascism was extremely controversial upon its release and remains banned in several countries to this day. Join Mike and Dustin as they sit down to talk about Salò and ponder how a film with torture, humiliation, fascism, feces, all-bets-are-off sex, naked people everywhere and crazy, rich Italian fetishists could be such a complete snorefest.

On this week's installment of For Your Consideration we tackle Russ Meyer's classic 1965 exploitation film, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! John Waters has made no secret of the fact that he considers it to be the greatest film ever made but what will Dustin and Mike think of the film? Will it be deemed a masterpiece or a museum piece? You will have to check out the episode to find out.

On August 11, 1964, A Hard Day's Night was released in the U.S. and we couldn't have asked for better timing as our latest episode features Mike and Dustin discussing the classic musical comedy that brought The Beatles to the silver screen. Will the Fab Four's film be deemed a masterpiece or museum piece? Strap yourselves in because this ride's about to get bumpy!

It's a thin line between stupid and clever and on this week's episode of FYC, Mike and Dustin intend to find it while taking a look at Rob Reiner's 1984 classic rock mockumentary, This Is Spinal Tap! This episode also introduces our brand-new Patreon account so be sure to give it a listen and get all the details.

This week we're giving another episode from the archives the full-on Redux treatment as we rediscover and represent our conversation on Mike Nichols' 1967 classic dramedy, The Graduate (originally released 03/28/2016).

This week's episode of FYC is a special memorial episode in honour of George A. Romero, a filmmaker we sadly lost this past July 16th and whom was responsible for the seminal horror classic, Night of the Living Dead. Although Romero was behind many film and television projects during his lifetime he is probably best known for the six zombie films he made starting with 1968's Night of the Living Dead and ending with Survival of the Dead in 2009. Since two of Romero's films made it on to the Sight & Sound list of the greatest films of all time (Night of as well as Dawn of the Dead) hosts Dustin and Mike decided to discuss the movie that started it all for the writer/director as well as recount some Romero memories.

R.I.P. George A. Romero (February 04, 1940 - July 16, 2017)

In this installment of ICYWC... we take a look at the 2013 found footage horror film, The Bell Witch Haunting. The movie, released by Asylum and directed by Glenn Miller, is yet another cinematic misfire that your intrepid host, Dustin Friesenhan, has subjected himself to and encapsulated the experience in this FYC microcast so you never have to endure the pain and suffering of watching it for yourself.

This week FYC brings you another installment of All Things Considered, our open review, conversation, and commentary show where Mike and Dustin choose four films they have seen recently and bring them to the table for discussion. On today's show we spotlight Ender's Game, Bon Cop Bad Cop, Alien: Covenant, and Cube.
