Projecting Film

On our latest episode we travel with three films to cabins in the woods and find the usual horror movie tropes: awkward encounters with friends, emotional outbursts that push people away, and revelations that forever change the bonds with those we love. Which is to say that new indie film KATE CAN'T SWIM gets it all right and if you like what you saw in YOUR SISTER'S SISTER and THE ONE I LOVE, make a point to check out the feature debut of writer/director Josh Helman. If you do, maybe we will get the sequels of various KATE CAN'Ts that our hosts so desperately want.

On this episode we hit the road with Dakota Fanning in her new film PLEASE STAND BY about a Trekkie pursuing her dream of getting her script produced while her family catches up with her (in more ways than one). This inspires a look back at not only our previous episode on THE ROAD MOVIE (hey you should download that) but also that blend of fantasy in NURSE BETTY and the harsh realities of travel in PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES. Along the way we both embrace and reject Patton Oswalt's proud use of the Klingon language.

On this episode we try to make something of the dash cam footage provided in new release THE ROAD MOVIE, and of course we come up with a mash-up of experimental documentary LEVIATHAN about commercial fisherman andddddd the BOOK OF SHADOWS, the much loved sequel to THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. Along the way we discuss the need for guidance from documentarians and our favorite films of 2017.

ALSO we debate which Franco brother your hosts are more like, and unfortunately for the winner of the James Franco contest, this was of course recorded before yet another round of allegations against an actor mentioned on this podcast. Enjoy!

On this episode we look at the relationships between fathers and sons and the jokes that develop along the way as we revisited Kevin Smith's MALLRATS and Mike Mills' BEGINNERS for the new release HUMOR ME. This indie film starring Jemaine Clement and Elliott Gould opens with crass humor that repeatedly antagonizes its audience (okay mainly just the son character played by Clement) which aligns perfectly with our goals for this podcast. So put in your earbuds and get weepy with us as we debate the merits of a stink palm as a bonding experience between two men.

MR. ROOSEVELT is what happens when one host assumes that this is a political thriller starring Gary Oldman, and instead is pleasantly surprised to find something far closer to Noah Baumbach's GREENBERG and Diablo Cody's YOUNG ADULT. In these three films about going home to reconnect with former friends and lovers, we did you the service of waiting to release this episode after the holidays... and also when you can take a look at Noel Wells' new comedy which has just hit Netflix streaming. Enjoy and hug your pets while listening!

Look ahead to the great beyond of 2018 with the Netflix documentary JIM & ANDY: THE GREAT BEYOND... and also this latest episode of PROJECTING FILM. If you do, you will hear us talk about not only the darkness of Jim Carrey going full method for his portrayal of Andy Kaufman in MAN ON THE MOON, but also your hosts Chris and Mike competing on who can bring the darkest film to the table. In THE PLEDGE, Jack Nicholson commits his life to finding a child killer, while in GRIZZLY MAN Timothy Treadwell goes to his death living with and "protecting" bears in the wild. Clearly our commitment to comedy is unquestioned with these choices, and we hope you don't question your commitment to subscribing to this podcast. Thanks!

For our latest episode we have our own little premiere party for the Netflix original MUDBOUND. This includes watching this Oscar hopeful from the comfort of our homes with at least one of your hosts in a bathrobe. After this sign of disrespect to modern cinema-going we praise the film by comparing it to the likes of DAYS OF HEAVEN and THE DEER HUNTER, for its narrative of returning veterans and also in the how DEE REES uses narration. However this does make us face the stark reality that what this up and coming filmmaker could really use on screen is Richard Gere and his fantastic hair.

On this episode we look at the strange connections made by characters in crime films both big and small. From a lowly barber attempting to blackmail his wife's lover in the Coen brothers THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE to a father protecting his son from the life he's chosen in Sam Mendes' ROAD TO PERDITION. Those two films lead us to new release SWEET VIRGINIA starring Jon Bernthal and Christopher Abbott as two men from the same part of the world brought together by chance and of course... crime.

Speaking of which, it would be criminal for you not to listen to this episode or follow us at the places listed below.
