And we're back for music on-screen, part TWO. On this episode, Claire and I deep dive into our favorite movie soundtracks and even take a little detour into discussing soundtracks for television programs as well. Claire lets the world know that Twilight has one of the greatest soundtracks ever and Dillon pops off on why the music of Grey's Anatomy cannot be beat. Plus we discuss Moulin Rouge, revisit Booksmart, sing the praises of Juno (shocker) and so much more. Happy listening!

This week we have part one of a special two-part episode featuring a discussion about the music in the films we love! Claire Idstrom joins me in part one to discuss scores. We provide a vocabulary list for names you should know when it comes to film scoring, put a public call out for names of composers that aren't straight, white men, and delve into what we think the most iconic scores of all time are plus so, so much more! Stay tuned next week for when we jump into part two: soundtracks!

His Only Vice is BACK for season two!!! And we're starting off with a bang. This week we have creative genius, genuine soul, and ex-med student turned director/editor, Anthony Alvarez on the pod to discuss Derek Cianfrance's 2010 film BLUE VALENTINE. Aside from that central focus, we get into Anthony's creative collective/production company, Project Feel, being scared by Jurassic Park, the boundless talent of Jacob Tremblay, seeing Good Boys in theaters next to Joel Edgerton, whether Leo deserved his Oscar for The Revenant and so, so, so much more. I promise you'll love this episode as much as I love talking to Anthony.

This. Episode. Is. Fire. Join Dillon and special guest David Gibbs as they go absolutely off about Jordan Peele's 2017 horror-masterpiece Get Out. They dissect so many hidden details that come with multiple viewings, their shared love of Christopher Nolan, worshipping Australian royalty Margot Elise Robbie, Oscar mishaps, and SO much more. David brings so much perspective and insight into Get Out and its cultural relevance and he gifts Dillon, and listeners, with so, so much of it. Listen in folks, you won't want to miss this one.

Join Dillon and special guest Jesús Colmenares Piñango as they deep dive into Argentina's 2014 entry for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Wild Tales (dir. Damián Szifron). But before they get into that, they chat about how Jesús' mum thought the MCU was a Lost (tv show) spinoff, their shared love of the tragically Oscar-less Amy Adams, how underrated Robin Wright is, watching 80+ movies in quarantine, and so much more. Plus, you get to hear Jesús attempt to teach Dillon Spanish. This joyful episode truly has everything.

Justin Yong is BACK with a deep dive diagnosis of all the themes and characters in Jon M. Chu's 2018 smash-hit, Crazy Rich Asians. We discuss filial piety, the seemingly anti-Asian nature of Hollywood, the legendary Michelle Yeoh, how beautiful the cast is, how exciting it was to see an all Asian cast lead a big budget Hollywood rom-com, the stunning production design, and SO much more. Justin came PREPARED and this conversation DELIVERS.

After a brief hiatus, His Only Vice is BACK. Fan favorite Talia Camilleri is back on the pod for a new special type of episode we are calling a "Watch and React." Dillon and Talia watched Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals and then immediately recorded the conversation they had trying to digest it with no pre-conversation at all. Listen as they word vomit what they make of the themes, imagery and storyline of Ford's 2016 neo-noir starring Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Hey friends, it's me, Dillon. Join me as I scream from the mountaintops, BLACK LIVES MATTER. In this episode, I highlight Black directors making films that illuminate the Black experience in some way shape or form. I've compiled a list of directors including but not limited to, Barry Jenkins, F. Gary Gray, Ava DuVernay, Beyoncé, Nia DaCosta, Ryan Coogler, Melina Matsoukas, and Spike Lee, and dive into some of their greatest films. I also take the time to provide context to #OscarsSoWhite, observing just how infrequently the Academy celebrates and awards Black people in the film industry. I hope this episode helps illuminate Black cinema and I promise to keep educating myself every day. Uplift Black voices. Fund Black film. Protect and CELEBRATE Black lives. Lots of love xoxo Dill
