In our season one penultimate episode Nathan and I take a look at this wacky holiday classic from a slightly more sentimental side. Enjoy! We saved the neck for you.

John Rohe is back to chat up the ultimate feel-good story of 2020: Ted Lasso! In this episode of Stamper Cinema we tackle Season One of the best thing to happen in this dumpster fire of a year. Enjoy!

 

 

*Show notes coming soon*

In this episode we discuss the 2002 Hayao Miyazaki Oscar-winning masterpiece, Spirited Away. If you haven't seen this movie, immediately stop whatever you're doing and hop over to HBOMAX and hit play. You'll thank me later. But even better that that, joining Stamper Cinema to discuss it is the absolutely lovely and extremely talented actress, Krista Marie Yu. 

While we were classmates at Carnegie Mellon University (class of 2011), I always knew that she'd go on to do great things. I'm beyond honored to have her as a guest and share our conversation with you. She's an absolute treat. Enjoy!

This episode has a little bit of everything. On one hand, it's a thorough discussion of Alexander Payne's hilariously brilliant, Election. On the other hand, we cover the dangerously sensitive topic, politics. To help us get through it, I have recruited three of my absolute favorite people in the whole world... making this the first ever panel discussion on Stamper Cinema. We really do cover a lot of ground and I'm very proud of this episode. Enjoy!

Disclaimer - we discuss the 2020 election in great detail, as well as the various forms of political discourse we find America currently battling over. While my intentions aren't ever to offend, I recognize that this topic may be too polarizing to some listeners. 

*Also just realized that my audio was somehow recorded in mono where everyone else was recorded in stereo. I apologize for the rookie mistake.

In the final chapter of our Stamper Cinema Spooktacular double-feature series, I am joined by movie & music lover, and all-around awesome dude, Mark King. In this episode we tackle two classic frights from the legendary filmmaker, John Carpenter: Christine (1983) and Halloween (1978). (We also take a few minutes to chat about A24 films and my Kawasaki motorcycle that I had when I was 16 years old). This is a good one. Happy Halloween everyone!

Greetings friends! In the first part of our two-part Stamper Cinema Spooktacular series, we'll be tackling zombie films. Specifically, two fantastic Asian zombie films. #Alive (South Korea, 2020) and  One Cut of the Dead (Japan, 2017).

Both of these films are worth watching, albeit for two entirely different reasons. Helping navigate through this episode, both a Stamper Cinema regular and my kid brother, Nathan. Enjoy!

Editors Note - I twice incorrectly reference #Alive having a $13 million budget. The $13 million number I'm citing is actually #Alive's box office return. Though, I suspect Alive's budget is much lower.

In this episode of Stamper Cinema we break down the 1994 cult-classic, Wes Craven's New Nightmare with resident Freddy Krueger expert Diandra Lazor. I can't say enough about how great an episode this one is. Diandra is, without the slightest hint of embellishment, an absolute treat. Enjoy!

When it comes to neighbors, things aren't always as they appear. While your neighbor may be weird and you may think he's a serial killer (or even a vampire), he probably isn't. But in cinema? All bets are off. In this mini episode I break down the nosy neighbor sub-genre and chat about 4 of my favorite films that use this trope to perfection. Enjoy!
