Mission 250 Podcast

This week, we watch the second film from the director of The Witch. This movie drips style and stinks of old seaweed. Dafoe and Pattinson give career best performances, as do a few seagulls. The Lighthouse (2019), directed by Robert Eggers.

This week, we want the most infamous and possibly influential horror movie of all time. 50 years later and this film still provides shocking imagery and performances that have yet to be equaled. Centering itself as a character drama, the seemingly lengthy two and a half hours creep by in the best way. The Exorcist (1973), directed by Willam Friedkin.

This week, we are watching a classic from over 80 years ago. This may be the most modern feeling pre-1960's film we have watch so far in our hundreds of episodes. While it might be a staple in film school classes, it doesn't need any explanation from a stuffy teacher to see how well made and entertaining this classic remains. Casablanca (1942), directed by Michael Curtiz.

Part 2

This week, we watch love in space. This time hopping journey through the great unknown is filled with hard sci-fi science and amazing special effects. It is also filled with expository dialogue and some less than stellar ideas about how love travels through space and time. Interstellar (2014), directed by Christopher Nolan.
