Story Brigade: Matinee

"Pixar's Sylvester Jones and the Staff of Eden"

Indiana Jones. 

Pixar.

A match made in heaven. But not really. This was one of the most tricky stories we've had here on the Story Brigade, but ended up being one of the best! I mean seriously. The symbolism alone is so exciting!!!

"Charlie Chaplin's The Information Age"

We're hitting the ground running with Season 2! On this episode we're joined by Phil McCabe (who did wonders pretending to have seen a bunch of Wed Anderson movies back in episode 11). This time it's Charlie Chaplin meets Holiday films! What holiday do we pick? How sad can we make a story about the Tramp? Check out this episode to find out!

"The Woman Who Would Not Die"

What's that sound?

Is that the STORY BRIGADE returning for a new season?! Heck yeah! 

Buckle up boys and girls because Connor and I are all geared up for another 24 exciting episodes of the Story Brigade and we can't wait to share them with you!

This episode is 1930s Universal Monsters meets Spy film. And it gets EPIC! Seriously, what a great way to start the season! Prepare for The Woman Who Would Not Die!!!

The first season of the STORY BRIGADE has come to a close! Connor and I had such a great time making it and we all hope you had fun listening! To all our wonderful guest brigaders, thank you! To everyone who shared the podcast with their friends, thank you! To the gods of cinema, thank you!

So to wrap up the season, Connor and I sit down, chat about our favorite episodes and discuss what's coming next for the STORY BRIGADE!

Till then!

"Barbie and the Great Despair"

This is it! THE SEASON FINALE of the first season of Story Brigade! But don't worry we've got an exciting live episode coming up soon and the start of season two!

Connor and I decided to do something a little different to wrap out this season - so we each came up with a genre/director/topic and brought it to the recording without the other person know anything about our pick and... well... it got weird. And great.

This is Barbie movie meets Alfonso Cuaron! What a super fun episode to wrap out on and thank you to everyone who listened throughout this whole season!!!

"The 10th Film By Quentin Tarantino: Art Nation"

I'll bet ever since Once Upon A Time... in Hollywood came out you've been wondering what Quentin Tarantino's next (and possibly last) film will be! Well the wait is over as the Story Brigade answers that question for Quentin. We present Art Nation (there's a real special meaning behind that name - wait till you hear). This is Quentin Tarantino meets Rediscovering Childhood!

On this episode we have a great special guest, Gavin Berger! He's a jack of all trades and a wonderful person to have on the show - although he admits right out that he has not seen a ton of movies... including Tarantino.

What could go wrong?

You can check out Gavin's podcast This Strange World on APPLE PODCASTS and SPOTIFY and LINKTREE.

If you want more Gavin, here's his quarantine TV SHOW!

You can also check out THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT and the ANAGRAM TOOL as mentioned in the episode.

"Love and Let Die"

Who's making up these genres! This makes no sense! 80s Action Hero meets Richard Curtis Romantic Comedy (Love, Actually & Four Weddings and a Funeral).

Where to begin? Well, with our wonderful special guest Dima Dubodel! He's calling in all the way from Russia and even though he's never seen a Richard Curtis film he really pulls out all the stops on this one!

Something we mentioned in the episode: Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot

"The Canaries by Stanley Kubrick"

This is a special food episode - our guest, Katherine Crabtree is known for making full dinners based on movie recommendations. So not only do we make up a five star film on this episode - but we also lay out the five star dinner menu to go along with it! On this episode it's Stanley Kubrick meets Outlaw Western!!!

(Plus did she do a better job? Or her husband on episode 11? Let us know your vote!)

"Bullet in the Hand"

This is Connor's favorite episode. I'm not kidding! What an adventure! This is the kind of film you'd expect to see with your buddies on VHS at a sleepover.

This is Revenge Western meets Martial Arts! And we go way past where you'd expect this movie to go - inventing an all new Old West martial art!!! Check out Gun-Fu's first film, Bullet in the Hand.

"Buster Keaton's The Grand Adventure"

This one is action-packed! But also silent as a mouse! It's a good old fashioned Adventure film meets early film mastermind and stunt extraordinaire Buster Keaton!
