Jackie and Greg fail to brush up on their medieval Russian history before digging into Andrei Tarkovsky's sprawling epic about the titular 15th century icon painter, ANDREI RUBLEV from 1966. Topics of discussion include the film's episodic structure, its withholding of the artist's work until the end, Tarkovsky's complicated relationship with horses, where it ranks in his filmography, and whether they think Rublev died a virgin.

Jackie and Greg set the stage for Marcel Carné's epic tale of love, loss, and the theatre, CHILDREN OF PARADISE from 1945. Topics of discussion include the film's epic scope, how it was made in Nazi-occupied France, a debate on whether Garance is worthy of everyone's attention, and how the trope of the sad clown is expanded upon to create cinema's most iconic mime.

Camp counselors Jackie and Greg tackle the raciest film they've yet to cover for the podcast: Gaspar Noé's 3D sex-movie LOVE from 2015. Topics of discussion include Noé as a provocateur, the difference between pornography and art, sex as a means of storytelling, Noé's innovative use of music, and the shallow characters at the center of the film.

The monthly "S'mores" series is an offshoot from our main series, where Jackie and Greg explore less "prestigious" films, which typically fall under the banner of underground, cult, camp, genre, and B-movies. "S'mores" episodes are unlocked by becoming either a Patron or Friend of the Show (see below). These episodes will be released on the last Tuesday of the month going forward.

It's Jackie's turn to pick the Personal Print this time: it's Noah Baumbach's 2012 portrait of twentysomething life in New York City, FRANCES HA. Topics of discussion include the influence of Baumbach vs. Greta Gerwig, the film's roots in the work of Woody Allen and the French New Wave, its free-flowing episodic structure, life in your twenties, and a conversation on the mumblecore subgenre.

The continuation of our "Personal Prints" series where Jackie and Greg venture off the Sight & Sound “Top 100” list to explore films that are special and/or formative to them.

Jackie and Greg arrive at the next Kurosawa on the list, the insanely influential RASHOMON from 1950. Topics of discussion include the film's groundbreaking narrative style, a debate over which of the versions of the story is most accurate, why the baby at the end ties things up a little too neatly, and how it's a pluviophile's dream come true.

Jackie and Greg arrive at the third Jean Renoir on the list, GRAND ILLUSION (LA GRANDE ILLUSION) from 1937. Topics of discussion include the film's gentle satire, Erich von Stroheim as the Tin Man, Renoir's obsession with race and class, and why Strauss waltzes are the most romantic.

Jackie and Greg revel in the sumptuous vibes that are Wong Kar Wai's IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE from 2000. Topics of discussion include the film's controversial new restoration, how it slots into WKW's filmography, its use of shorthand and subtle visual cues to convey the story, and how the extensive deleted scenes re-frame the events of the film.

In the inaugural episode in their "S'mores" series, Jackie and Greg splash around in the filth that is John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS from 1972. Topics of discussion include Waters' entrepreneurial skills and background, the Manson-family vibe running throughout, Divine as a shit-eater and icon, and why it's endured as one of the most transgressive pieces of cinema ever made. The Prince of Puke has never been more disgusting.

The monthly "S'mores" series is an offshoot from our main series, where Jackie and Greg explore less "prestigious" films, which typically fall under the banner of underground, cult, camp, genre, and B-movies. "S'mores" episodes are unlocked by becoming either a Patron or Friend of the Show (see below). These episodes will be released on the last Thursday of the month going forward.

Jackie and Greg take on the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power for their episode on Roman Polanski's CHINATOWN. Topics of discussion include J.J. Gittes as a quintessential New Hollywood protagonist, great works by problematic artists (and whether separating the art from the artist is possible), the impeccably twisty script from Robert Towne, their personal relationships with the city of Los Angeles, and why it continues to endure as a shining example of neo-noir.

Jackie and Greg return to the great Carl Theodor Dreyer for one of his signature films, the late-career masterpiece ORDET from 1955. Topics of discussion include its origins as a stage play, the long takes, the constantly howling wind, what Dreyer's saying about organized religion, and the powerful spirituality of the film.
