Projecting Film

Projections this week inspired by a watch of SWIMFAN include:

• Amazon Prime is punishing SWIMFANs old and new with their 4:3 aspect ratio.
• High school affairs are a necessary evil to keep the kids social.
• One host continues to shock the other with just how vanilla he is.
• The Internet on film peaked mid-90s w/ riveting action in DISCLOSURE & THE NET.

... and a few other things on SWIMFAN. But just a few. Promise.

On our episode celebrating not Good Friday (as that would not only be offensive but inaccurate as your dear host was just very late with his podcast editing) but the good liars of cinema (remember a movie called THE GOOD LIAR? Yeah that proved to be of no podcast promotional help, damn you Helen Mirren) we welcome author Chris Vander-Kaay to discuss GOOD TIME and GOOD NEIGHBOR SAM. One film has a former vampire made good in the eyes of Film Twitter and the other stars Jack Lemmon terrorized by a duck and wife swapping. Makes you wish you'd seen that one, eh?

Check out Chris Vander-Kaay's book SPOILER ALERT!

Karly of CoreTempArts and Natasha of Kentucky Geek Girl attempt to class up the podcast for our episode on Jane Austen in film... but not just any films! Films with... cute... punctuation like new release EMMA. continue the tradition of Austen's work being placed in decidedly offbeat settings such as CLUELESS and AUSTENLAND.

The moral of the story here is that your host doesn't read but watches quite a few movies. Enjoy!

Theme music provided by the band Good Talk Russ. The song is Build It Up off their album The Panglossian Travels of the White Elephant.

Amazon is bringing Mindy Kaling's LATE NIGHT to it's Prime streaming service so that all of you who ignored its brief theatrical release can now ignore it in your digital video queue. What can't be ignored is your beloved hosts expansive knowledge on the format of talk shows... as long as said talk shows are featured in movies that they've seen. Two of them would be the HBO television movie THE LATE SHIFT from 1996 and the even more dated 2010 theatrical release MORNING GLORY from the natural collaborators JJ Abrams and Richard Curtis. Also we talk extensively about the time James Spader got buff.

In what is the first time (at least in podcast form) that childhood friends Mike and Josh of SOBER CINEMA decide to cross streams we exchange two films we each wanted the other to cross off their streaming list.

For Josh he finally gets Mike to check out the documentary on sleep paralysis THE NIGHTMARE from 2015. In turn... Mike goes nuclear by throwing the glittery directing debut of Brie Larson in UNICORN STORE.

Fun times are had by all. Click these things now:

Here's a little something for a long holiday road trip (presumably to an amusement park if you really want to play along) with an episode on 10 years of ADVENTURELAND in our lives. Actually one host never got around to seeing it during its first decade of existence, so thanks to the great charity work of PROJECTING FILM... here we are.

For THE SUN IS ALSO A STARtwo old white guys subject their poor guest Berook Alemayehu, formerly of the great podcast CINEMABUN, to their views on immigration... but only in film. Our selected double feature on this subject includes Chiwetel Eijofor in a not quite OCEAN'S 11 style of fun heist for DIRTY PRETTY THINGSand Richard Jenkins as perennial man about to blow his brains out in THE VISITOR.

We also make fun of drummers and bass players. Our impotent rage knows no end.

On this episode we guess that the new film LONG SHOT starring Seth Rogen as the forever unfuckable is just the latest in this real life ogre's filmography of strangely being chosen by beautiful women. So do we go with Kevin Smith's 2008 film where America was disgusted by Elizabeth Banks choosing to have sex with this man in ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO. Or perhaps we side with our neighbors to the north where Michelle Williams decides that she's had enough of a cleaned up Mr. Rogen in Sarah Polley's TAKE THIS WALTZ.

Along the way your hosts Chris & Mike discuss the decline of narrative in pornography and possibly the declining state of one host's marriage. It's a real treat for you people.

For the week of AVENGERS: ENDGAME we talk about superhero movies attempting to shake things up and there's no better guest to do that than Peter of PODSTALGIC... because he's kind of tired of superhero movies... and he doesn't seem that enthused with DC making their superhero version of BIG with SHAZAM... so we project some other things to watch instead. Enthusiastically. Now enthusiastically click these links:

We prepare ourselves for the year ahead in 2019 by looking back to the scariest film of 2018: Philip Gelatt's THEY REMAIN. The title could also apply to this very podcast which is probably equally as terrifying for PROJECTING FILM listeners. For now your hosts combine two things that very much scare us in our conversation on THE SHINING and IT FOLLOWS: rules and sex. Unable to follow the thread of either we instead podcast at the links below:
