Remainders episodes

  • Episode 24: The Proposition

    This week on Remainders, Darren and Patrick cover the 2005 Australian western The Proposition.

    Directed by John Hillcoat (The Road) with a screenplay and score by Nick Cave, the outback never looked or sounded so violent. The plot is simple but commanding: a vicious criminal must hunt down and kill his older brother in order to save his younger brother from execution.

    The poetic nature of death and murder is nothing new to Nick Cave, and in The Proposition he goes hard on morality in an immoral world. We also dive into Cave’s post-punk roots and current status as artistic philosopher, the nature of grieving, the history of Australian subjugation, new book recommendations, Paul Thomas Anderson rankings, and wondering how Ray Winstone and Guy Pearce can act in a swarm without bug repellant. Australia…what fresh hell is this?

  • Episode 23: A Woman Under The Influence

    This week on Remainders, Darren and Patrick take a look at Darren’s classic pick A Woman Under the Influence by John Cassavetes. Cassavetes was never one to shy away from tough emotional turmoil in his films, and Woman is no exception. In what may be a favorite performance on the podcast, Gena Rowlands displays a masterclass in acting and how to show the slow realization someone may be beyond help.

    Other topics this week include The Ramones, upcoming shows for the hosts, and the ongoing Remainders debate between Chicago and L.A.

    This week on Remainders, Darren and Patrick take a look at the 1969 French film La Piscine.

Death just looks better when it's dressed in style and driving a Maserati.
