Haven't Seen It

Is love inherently violent? Does romance require an act of violence? Are humans inherently violent? Are they inherently romantic? Do we always glamorous violence? Are there different kinds of violence? When will MK Ultra leave us alone? Is Adolescence state propaganda advocating for further surveillance? Do we need more surveillance?

Does Yorgos Lanthimos hate cinema? Does he hate this medium? And why? Is his shtick surface level antics, or is there more going on besides a vulgar self-reflexivity? How do his early films compare to his later ones? How do people feel about his work back home in Greece? Why is it important to be true to where you're from? Will Josh ever do the slightest bit of research, or will he insist on getting simple facts wrong? We're joined by the legendary (at least 20 feet tall) filmmaker Paolo Antypas to discuss what the hell is up with Yorgos Lanthimos' first film, Kinetta from 2005. Warning: very high IQ takes. [Sorry for the hiatus! More episodes on the way.]

In this episode, we get to the bottom of WHAT MAKES DAVID'S FILMS SO SPECIAL. We advance a vaguely Jungian reading of his work, while also advancing a vaguely Shamanistic reading of his work, while also grappling with Mark Frost's claim that David is "anti-psychological." What did he mean by this? Join us in celebrating one of America's greatest artists in any medium. Rest in peace, David Keith Lynch#davidlynch #podcast #filmpodcast

Thank you all for the suggestions! Keep suggesting things and we might do this again!

Does Nosferatu 2024 have a unique perspective compared to the 1922 and the 1979 versions? Is Eggers' the best young auteur of the 21st century? Are his films too reliant on art direction vs theme? Are they just more "elevated horror" or is there something deeper going on here? And who the hell is Van Helsing!??! Some might see the stylized but stilted approach of Nosferatu (2024) and call it "mannered." I think that's fair, but in defence of the film it is something of a treatise on what it means to be "mannered," that is: to be a rationalized, uprooted, civilized westerner...

Is Barbie (2023) a feminist film? Is Oppenheimer (2023) a masculinist one? Or is it possible that they both inadequately explore the feminine side of our psyches? Is it possible that Barbie is not feminist *enough*? What would Marie-Louise von Franz think of the corporate feminism of Barbie? Is it cool to be a stereotypical male feminist on a podcast in 2024? Probably not.

FYI the book we called "Wild Woman" by "Mary Pinkola" is actually "Women Who Run With the Wolves" by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. Woops.

Auteur cinema is in shambles. We have few filmmakers out here, creating personal visions and dream projects. We need more art and less content. We need auteur cinema! But we also need honest and brutal criticism. We need to hold ideas accountable; we need to demand better execution. Because... We will get what we tolerate! Damien Chazelle, we believe in you man!

“The death of a social machine has never been heralded by a disharmony or a dysfunction; on the contrary, social machines make a habit of feeding on the contradictions they give rise to, on the crises they provoke, on the anxieties they engender, and on the infernal operations they regenerate. Capitalism has learned this, and has ceased doubting itself, while even socialists have abandoned belief in the possibility of capitalism's natural death by attrition. No one has ever died from contradictions. And the more it breaks down, the more it schizophrenizes, the better it works, the American way.”

As Zizek hath said, "It is easier to imagine the collapse of the multiverse than the end of capitalism." This is the Capitalist Realist film par excellance (RIP Mark Fisher).

The boys are joined by fellow filmmaker/podcaster Ernesto Sandoval to talk about their repressed Pokémon memories. They answers questions like: Did you cry? How much did you cry? Is the worldbuilding in Pokémon woke or broke? Why did you cry? Why did everyone and their mom get obsessed with Pokémon back in the day? Stop crying. What does the writing get right and wrong in this film? Are you still crying? Why is Ernesto Sandoval so cute?

Why? What is going on with Francis Ford Coppola? Why is this the film he's dreamed about for decades? What is the role of the artist in the future? Does the artist create the future? What the hell is going on in this screenplay? What is Megalon? Is "All You Need Is Love" still true? In this follow-up episode (no need to hear the previous Megalopolis episode) the boys delve into these questions.
