Fuds On Film

What was lost has now been found, as a completed version of Orson Welles' last film _The Other Side of the Wind_ has been released, alongside a companion documentary, _They'll Love Me When I'm Dead_. Were they worth waiting for, or do they do a disservice to his memory? Join us and find out! Full show notes at https://www.fudsonfilm.com/the-other-side-of-the-wind/

In podcasts passim we've discussed our regard for the more grounded, somewhat realistic espionage dramas from the likes of John Le Carre, but despite Frederick Forsyth plowing a very similar furrow, I'm not all that familiar with his works. We aim to rectify that today as we discuss the four major adaptations of his work, leaving to one side a slew of TV movies with poor reputations. Join us as we place The Day of the Jackal, The Odessa File, The Dogs Of War, and The Fourth Protocol under surveillance, and to allay any of your cynical assumptions, we didn't pick this topic purely to give our awful Christopher Walken and Michael Caine impersonations another outing. That was only 86% of the rationale. Full show notes at http://www.fudsonfilm.com/frederick-forsyth/

Join us for another film-based gabfest where we discuss the delights, or inverse delights, of Apostle, The Night Comes For Us, Flavors of Youth, Halloween, and Sicario: Day of the Soldado. Our opinions are delightful, and will delight you. Groove is in all of our hearts.

We continue that solid zombie vibe with two films that take a look at the lighter side of the dead returning to life and eating you - Shaun of the Dead and Night of the Comet. Who will triumph in this undeathmatch? Listen in and find out! Full show notes at https://www.fudsonfilm.com/shaun-of-the-dead-night-of-the-comet/

We may have just seen the back of Halloween, but it's somehow fitting that the zombies would be shambling out a trifle late. Join us as we hit some interesting and/or noteworthy reanimated corpse based entertainment with White Zombie, I Walked with a Zombie, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Zombi 3, Versus, 28 Days Later, Pontypool, and Train to Busan. Braaaaaaaaaaiinnns. Full show notes at https://www.fudsonfilm.com/zombies/

Another month, another wildly divergent bunch of films to chew on. Join us and savour the flavour of Crazy Rich Asians, BlacKkKlansman, First Man, Upgrade, Mandy, Game Night, Detroit, and Faces Places.

Our last episode covered most of what we'd call the prime cuts of Carpenter, but there's a lot more to talk about, including revisiting his most influential work, and also his only film that had a cup of coffee with the Oscars. Join us as we examine the varied pleasures and pains offered by Dark Star, Halloween, Christine, Starman, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, In the Mouth of Madness, Village of the Damned, Escape from L.A., Vampires, Ghosts of Mars, and The Ward.

B-movie auteur, King of the Schlock, call him what you want but John Carpenter has carved himself a very singular reputation and a status as one of Hollywood's most inventive if not critically successful directors. On this episode we will be discussing a broad swathe of work from his most successful and influential period to date, which is to say the mid seventies to late 80s.

It's time once more to batter through a diverse batch of recent film, including The Meg, Mission: Impossible: Fallout, Mom and Dad, The Spy Who Dumped Me, Hereditary, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again, and The Predator. Get with the program, you square! Full show notes at https://www.fudsonfilm.com/intermission-september-2018/

Two films examining the same character, twenty five years apart? Intriguing. Join us as we digest The Hustler and The Color of Money.
