Scene and Heard episodes

  • Phantom of the Paradise [1974] // S'mores

    Camp counselors Jackie and Greg sit around the fire for Brian De Palma's PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE from 1974. Topics of discussion include the many inspirations from Oscar Wilde to Hitchcock to German Expressionism, De Palma's giddy filmmaking, the tunes by Paul Williams, and an unfair comparison to the other midnight rock musical, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.

    The monthly S'mores series is an offshoot from our main series, where Jackie and Greg explore films from the fringes of cinema, encompassing underground, experimental, cult, camp, genre, horror, and B-movies. S'mores episodes are unlocked by becoming either a Patron or Friend of the Show (see below). These episodes are released on the last Tuesday of each month.

    Jackie and Greg join the search for Antonio's missing bike in Rome for Vittorio De Sica's BICYCLE THIEVES from 1948. Topics of discussion include the film's production, the use of non-actors, its simplicity and clear storytelling, its connection to PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE, and why it remains the most iconic of the Italian neorealist films.

  • Blade Runner [1982]

    Jackie and Greg get soaked in the perpetually rainy, smog-choked Los Angeles of the future for Ridley Scott's BLADE RUNNER from 1982. Topics of discussion include a comparison of the many different cuts of the film, how it works better as a mood piece than a detective story, the elaborate sets and special effects, and a debate on the age-old question: is Deckard a replicant?

  • Taxi Driver [1976]

    Jackie and Greg prowl the streets of a nocturnal New York City for Martin Scorsese's TAXI DRIVER from 1976. Topics of discussion include the relationship between Scorsese and Paul Schrader's work, its numerous cinematic references, De Niro's shifty performance, and Bernard Herrmann's haunting score.

  • Blue Velvet [1986]

    Jackie and Greg visit the seemingly sleepy town of Lumberton for David Lynch's BLUE VELVET from 1986. Topics of discussion include the film's contrasting tone, the dream-world Norman Rockwell façade vs. the festering insects underneath, how it's maybe Lynch's most coherent vision, and where it fits in with the rest of his films.

  • The Masque of the Red Death [1964] // S'mores

    Camp counselors Jackie and Greg sit around the fire for Roger Corman's THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH from 1964. Topics of discussion include Vincent Price's delicious performance, the higher pedigree of talent involved compared to Corman's other work, the film's frank treatment of satanism, and how it's basically a camp version of Bergman or Powell and Pressburger.

    The monthly "S'mores" series is an offshoot from our main series, where Jackie and Greg explore films from the fringes of cinema, encompassing underground, experimental, cult, camp, genre, horror, and B-movies. "S'mores" episodes are unlocked by becoming either a Patron or Friend of the Show (see below). These episodes are released on the last Tuesday of each month. This one is complimentary!

  • The Godfather Part II [1974]

    Jackie and Greg pull up a seat at the lake house for their episode on Francis Ford Coppola's THE GODFATHER PART II from 1974. Topics of discussion include comparisons to the first film, how it pioneered the movie sequel, the more muted palette yet more sprawling canvas, and how Nino Rota's score is even more powerful the second time around. Is it that rare sequel that bests the original? You'll have to listen to find out.
