Only the Best for Laura Jacoves

Sofia Dobrushin talks to us about haunting childhood memories and Victor Erice's meditative exploration of a suicidal five year old in The Spirit of the Beehive.

Sarah Wilson comes on the podcast to talk the future of the show, her fear of death, and the great non-movie Greed by Erich von Stroheim.

Alex Ptak talks the life and loves of Colonel Candy in Powell and Pressburger's The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp.

Olivia Kaplan joins us to talk our youth and the youth gangs of Taiwan in Edward Yang's A Brighter Summer Day.

Lily Napach joins us on a rainy day to talk Jean Renoir's lovely jaunt A Day in the Country.

It Girl Theory's Kaitlin Eleanor Gleason talks the looks and the lyricism of The Color of Pomegranates.

Allison O'Conor takes us through Heaven and earth, love and loss, life and death in Powell and Pressburger's A Matter of Life and Death.

It's our annual Best of the Year ep! Nick and Clare join us yet again to talk about the state of cinema, sanity, and Chloé Zhao's Nomadland. Unlike the previous contemporary episodes, this one is a bit of a debate!

The boys of my favorite film podcast Extended Clip come on for a talk about D.W. Griffith's century spanning epic INTOLERANCE: LOVE'S STRUGGLE THROUGHOUT THE AGES, amongst other things (it's a podcast so you know it's kind of a wandering conversation that goes off on tangents).

Alyssa Stonoha returns in a sequel episode to the one she did maybe five years ago where we covered All That Heaven Allows. You remember that? Now we're talking Rainer Werner Fassbinder's reworking of that in Ali: Fear Eats the Soul
