Nic and Dani Smaldwin of the In Love, With Movies podcast, join Shawn for Missing Frames’ first episode of 2025! The frame that’s missing? Gary Ross’ Pleasantville, a film that Nic adores but that Shawn and Dani have never seen. Since its release in 1998, Pleasantville seems to have been mostly forgotten, but the trio discusses why it’s a much better film than people give it credit for.

Spencer Tweedy returns to Missing Frames to discuss his first ever viewing of Damien Chazelle's WHIPLASH, just in time for the film's 10th anniversary! (2024 also marks the ten-year anniversary of SUKIERAE, the brilliant album Spencer made with his dad, Wilco founder Jeff Tweedy.) As a drummer, Spencer has always wanted to see Whiplash, but has never gotten around to it. Shawn has been a fan of the film since its release, but it's been a minute since he last watched it. In their freewheeling discussion, Shawn and Spencer discuss whether Whiplash lives up to its esteemed reputation and the concept of pain and adversity as a necessity for making great art.

The one and only Carley Cooper returns to introduce Shawn to Robert Zemeckis' DEATH BECOMES HER. Sandwiched between two of Zemeckis' most-beloved films (Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Forrest Gump), Death Becomes Her has always been a bit neglected. But the film made major strides for the special effects industry, ultimately winning the Oscar for Best Visual Effects in 1993, and paving the way for CGI to thrive in film's like Jurassic Park. Does the film work beyond its landmark effects? Tune in to find out what Shawn and Carley think!
