Get Your Film Fix

We're back this week with a new film (finally)!!!  Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods popped up on Netflix on Friday, just as the nation faces it's second week of protests after the killing of George Floyd.  We discuss the film's impact on the movement and our thoughts, before drafting our perfect acting troupe.  

Let us know what you think about our troupes and Da 5 Bloods!  [email protected] 

This week, Jeremy, Lee and Chapin challenged each other to watch or re-watch a film of our choosing.  Here's how we did it:

Chapin assigned Jeremy Annihilation.

Jeremy assigned Lee Sweet Smell of Success. 

Lee assigned Chapin The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Jeremy and Chapin gather to discuss the future of film production after the COVID-19 outbreak.  What will film sets look like?  Will they be safe?  How will production companies move forward?

It's back to the year 2000 again for it's most popular film worldwide, the sequel to the 1996 hit, Mission Impossible 2.  We break down this wildly silly film directed by Hong Kong legend John Woo, then make Get Your Film Fix's definitive ranking of the MI series.  

Lee, Chapin and Jeremy talk about the news of a 'Scarface' reboot and some reflections on the 'Requiem for a Dream' podcast. 

We continue our look back at the Year 2000 in film with Darren Aronofsky's stylish psychological thriller Requiem for a Dream. We discuss the film's hammering style, Aronofsky's effective but punishing technique and his ultimate message.  

We move on to a new game!  Lee and Jeremy square off as Hollywood Moguls, picking the hits and playing the box office game!

Let us know your thoughts.  Who do you agree with on Requiem? Did you enjoy the game?  [email protected] 

Guns, cocaine, cigars...just another night in at the library...not.  We're off the boat from Cuba and stepping foot in 1980s Miami, looking back at Brian De Palma's beloved Scarface starring Al Pacino.  We talk about this film's history and importance in hip hop culture, and, most importantly, does it hold up? And, ultimately, what was the intention of De Palma and Oliver Stone?  Were we meant to root for Tony Montana?

Don't miss this one, we actually change each other's minds here, a podcast first!

Bare with us, it's only Jeremy and Lee this week, BUT they are attending a film festival!  Well, an online one. A selection of feature and short films were featured on Prime Video the last two weeks and Jeremy and Lee share the best and worst from what may be the (short-term) future of film festivals.

Continuing our "Just F-ing Watch It" series this week, Jeremy, Lee and Chapin go into The Zone with Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker. As our first experience with perhaps the USSR's most famous director, we examine Tarkovsky's languid pacing, poetic dialogue and meandearing  storytelling.  

We know you are likely at home and with more time on your hands, so we chose our Top 5 Films available on Netflix! Nothing obvious here, just 15 really great recommendations you may not have considered (46:02).

We want to hear from you!  Send us a voice memo/recording with your thoughts...on anything!  [email protected]. 

We've been waiting on this one for a while!  Cameron Crowe's autobiographical journey through 1970s Rock 'n Roll certainly holds a place in many people's hearts.  But can Jeremy, Chapin and Lee be truly "honest and unmerciful" to such an important film?  Find out!  

Let us know what you think or send us your voice memos to be played on the show!  [email protected]
