Plastic Podcast

On the triumphant return of the Plastic Podcast after a months-long hiatus, we talk with filmmaker Rian Johnson about THE BROTHERS BLOOM, starring Rachel Weisz, Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo, and Rinko Kikuchi.

On this episode we talk with two filmmakers about their new films: Danny Boyle (TRAINSPOTTING, 28 DAYS LATER) tells us about SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE and Lance Hammer talks about his debut film, BALLAST.

On this episode we talk about our favorite (and other noteworthy) films from this year's Toronto International Film Festival, including RACHEL GETTING MARRIED, STILL WALKING, GOODBYE SOLO, 35 SHOTS OF RUM, THE WRESTLER, SUMMER HOURS, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, and CHE plus experimental films by Nathaniel Dorsky and James Benning.

Two interviews: Robert Davis talks with writer-director Azazel Jacobs about his new film, MOMMA'S MAN, and J. Robert Parks talks to actor and comedian Steve Coogan (HAMLET 2, TRISTRAM SHANDY, 24-HOUR PARTY PEOPLE)

With the summer freshly in the can, we present 14 compact reactions (some more compact than others) to a season of mostly loud, mostly trashy movies. Picking up where our last speed round left off, we talk about THE DARK KNIGHT, WALL*E, MAN ON WIRE, WANTED, and others. Dump the lemonade, brew a pot of something warm, and bid adieu to the summer's second half.

The Duplass brothers, Mark and Jay, may feign ignorance at times, but their new movie BAGHEAD is plenty smart. Mixing genres in clever ways, it even inspires chills through the hoariest of horror cliches, the cabin in the woods. We sat down with the brothers Duplass in an exceedingly warm Chicago conference room, and the conversation revolved around the process of writing and editing, why watching movies at night is a different experience, and the enduring classic that is FLETCH.

In this episode of the Errata Movie Podcast we talk about a great American film, Charles Burnett's debut feature Killer of Sheep (1977).

On this episode of the Errata Movie Podcast we talk about 18 summer movies, big and small, including THE HAPPENING, IRON MAN, INDIANA JONES, KUNG FU PANDA, and 14 others. Briefly!

In this episode of the Errata Movie Podcast, J. Robert Parks talks with filmmaker Errol Morris about his new film, STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE, then we reconsider the film to see if our comments from Episode 16 hold up in light of the interview, a second viewing, and Morris's writings and public statements about the film.

In this episode of the Errata Movie Podcast, we talk about three movies that are currently playing in theaters around the country: THE VISITOR, STOP-LOSS, and Errol Morris's STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE, and we'll also hear a brief chat with the writer-director of THE VISITOR, Thomas McCarthy.
