It's Greg's turn to pick the film this week and he takes the opportunity to screen Robert Greenwald's roller disco XANADU for Jackie. Topics of discussion include the film's camp factor; the incredible music by Electric Light Orchestra, Cliff Richard, and The Tubes; a debate on whether it's better than GREASE; the animated interlude by Don Bluth; and how it makes for a fitting final bow from the great Gene Kelly. The team is joined by Greg's fiancée, Molly!

Jackie and Greg duke it out with each other in the name of Robert Bresson for their episode on AU HASARD BALTHAZAR.

July 26, 2022 Moulin Rouge! [2001] // Personal Prints
It's Jackie's turn to pick the film and she chooses one of the key pieces of her cinematic foundation, Baz Luhrmann's jukebox musical MOULIN ROUGE! from 2001. Topics of discussion include Luhrmann's opulent and frenetic style, the far-reaching cinematic inspiration using everything from Georges Méliès to Bollywood, how it revitalized the movie musical, and how it stacks up against other movie musicals of the 21st century.

Jackie and Greg strap in for their longest film yet: Edward Yang's four-hour epic, A BRIGHTER SUMMER DAY from 1991.

Jackie and Greg are back with another journey-down-a-river, descent-into-madness film, Francis Ford Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW from 1979. Topics of discussion include the nightmare production, its colossal scale (and why it couldn't be made today), whether the last act with Marlon Brando works or not, and a comparison to one of the film's key inspirations, Werner Herzog's AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD.

June 28, 2022 E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial [1982] with Robert Macnaughton // Personal Prints
Jackie and Greg are back for a very special episode this week, as they celebrate the 40th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL. Topics of discussion include its origins as “A Boy’s Life”, the storybook look and feel, how John Williams’ score elevates the film to opera, and why it’s endured for 40 years as an evergreen classic. Stay tuned for the second half of the episode where they sit down with actor Robert Macnaughton, who plays the older brother Michael, as he reflects on his time making the film and the impact it continues to have to this day.

June 21, 2022 The Wild Bunch [1969]
Jackie and Greg swoop in like vultures to pick the meat off "Bloody Sam" Peckinpah's revisionist western from 1969. Topics of conversation include Peckinpah's personal life, Old Hollywood vs. New Hollywood, the film's staginess, the magic of Warren Oates, and why Peckinpah's face deserves to be blasted down off the Mount Rushmore of "Great American Filmmakers". You've never heard them this vicious.
