Projecting Film

For our comeback episode we give our dozens of fans exactly what they want... an episode on how insane fans are. But in a good way! UNITED WE FAN looks at a now decades long tradition of dedicated fans saving their favorite low rated shows which creates both a positive and negative influence on the material being saved. One host is reminded of the turn made in a previous documentary as everything we thought we know may not be entirely accurate in CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS. Meanwhile your other host chooses to think happy thoughts in the new year and how pop culture pushes us all to find our own love story in LOVE, SIMON. Also we discuss the most depressing Super Bowl party in history. PROJECTING FILM... right back on brand at these links below:

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.

Thanks to the Nashville Film Festival we were able to check out THE SCENT OF RAIN AND LIGHTNING which stars Maika Monroe, a young actress who first got our attention in IT FOLLOWS. Maybe with that on the brain we ended up with an episode theme based around another previous rising star in Jennifer Lawrence and in particular her roles in feuding family films THE BURNING PLAIN and WINTER'S BONE. Thankfully (?) for our listeners this is a far more agreeable episode and we woiuld be even more agreeable if you gave us a follow at the links below:

On this episode we throw a Hitchcock themed podcast party for Sally Potter's new film THE PARTY. This Kristen Scott Thomas and Patricia Clarkson starring movie is fast, aggressive, and darkly funny; which means that this cast of characters would fit in nicely at a dinner party to celebrate getting away with murder in the 1948 classic ROPE. Or maybe the focus would be on the missing guest such as in the other Alfred Hitchcock joint REBECCA? We'll let you decide as you can listen to the episode and give us feedback at the links below:

For Valentine's Day we offer up a triple feature of being snared by love for new release ENTANGLEMENT. This Thomas Middleditch and Jess Weixler starring romcom reminds us of the manic pixie dream girl trope and how it can be subverted with a seriously manic male lead, be it Bradley Cooper in SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK or David Thewlis in ANOMALISA. One of your hosts also convinces the other one to not do a Valentine's Day first time watch with the wife of Weixler's breakout film TEETH.

On our latest episode we discuss new release BOMB CITY and how we approach real life tragedy as entertainment. Does the apprehension we feel over the fate of the real life characters on screen add to our appreciation of the moments that the filmmakers chose to present? And just why was one of your hosts so damn nervous about possible life-changing events when watching SLC PUNK! for the first time? Find out this and maybe a little more as we once again praise Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan (what else is new?) in this episode and at the social media outlets below:

On the road again with Chris and Mike of PROJECTING FILM. A pair of podcast lovers who fancy themselves as Celine and Jesse from Richard Linklater's BEFORE SUNRISE but in actuality are more like Zoe Bell and Kurt Russell from Quentin Tarantino's DEATH PROOF. We'll leave that up to the listeners which one is the cowardly stuntman... BUT FOR NOW we have yet another indie film gem from 2018 with Ethan Warren's WEST OF HER. A strikingly beautifyl film full of stolen shots and stolen moments also manages to keep its feet on the ground and provide the spark of a romance between two people who travel the country together but are heading in very different directions. Also they aren't Chris and Mike. So well worth spending your time with them instead. On that note, follow us at the links below!
