November 26, 202075. Small Axe: Mangrove / The Nest / Best Lorne Michaels-Produced FilmsWe begin this week with a discussion on the first film in Steve McQueen's SMALL AXE series for Amazon, MANGROVE. Yes, you heard that right: Steve McQueen has FIVE NEW FILMS coming out from now until the end of the year. A small miracle in an otherwise abysmal 2020. The second new film of the week is Sean Durkin's long-awaited follow-up to his 2011 debut, MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE. This one features Jude Law and Carrie Coon up front. It's called THE NEST. We close out the show with the latest PICK SIX segment. This time we are counting down our choices for the SIX BEST LORNE MICHAELS-PRODUCED FILMS OF ALL-TIME, in honor of his 70th birthday.

November 19, 202074. The Life Ahead / Best Performances by Actors Over 70 / The Third ManThings are kicked off this week with a discussion on the newest Netflix film, which is an Italian-language production featuring the first significant appearance from the legendary Sophia Loren in a decade. It's THE LIFE AHEAD. The latest PICK SIX segment finds us choosing our selections for the SIX BEST PERFORMANCES BY ACTORS OVER 70 YEARS OF AGE OF ALL-TIME. Quite the difficult category to research and parse down. We end the show this week with a big-time essential THROWBACK CHALLENGE given to us by a listener. We will finally get acquainted with the 1949 Noir classic from Carol Reed, THE THIRD MAN.

November 12, 202073. Proxima / His House / Best News-Themed Films / SolaceHere we are, on the other side of an election! Phew, what a wild week. We start this episode with a double round of FIVE GOOD QUESTIONS. Noah will ask Andy about his experience with the French astronaut film, PROXIMA, starring Eva Green and Matt Dillon. Andy returns the favor and grills Noah on his watch of the Netflix Original horror flick, HIS HOUSE. The natural PICK SIX follow-up to last week's Presidential Films, could only be a rundown of our choices for the SIX BEST NEWS/MEDIA-THEMED FILMS OF ALL-TIME. If not now, when? We close the show with the most recent listener-commissioned THROWBACK CHALLENGE. Longtime mutual friend, Eric Spurlin, tasked us with a viewing of the Anthony Hopkins-led thriller from 2015, SOLACE. We WILL see you next time on TFH. Cheers! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-film-harmonic/support...more1h 25minPlay
November 05, 202072. Best Presidential Films / Chungking Express / The AccountantThis will forever be known as the episode we recorded mere hours before the election results of 2020. Oh. Boy. Naturally, we decided to kick off the show with a countdown of our SIX FAVORITE PRESIDENTIAL-THEMED FILMS OF ALL-TIME. If not now, when? From there, with no new movies on the docket, we dive into a double dose of the long-running THROWBACK CHALLENGE...Noah tasked Andy with the much-beloved Wong Kar Wai film from 1994, CHUNGKING EXPRESS, while Andy tossed Noah the Oscar-winning short that announced Ray McKinnon and Walton Goggins' production company, Ginny Mule, to the world -- THE ACCOUNTANT. Stay as sane as possible out there! Cheers! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-film-harmonic/support...more1h 14minPlay
October 29, 202071. Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm / On the Rocks / A Prayer Before Dawn / California SplitEpisode 71 should have a "very nice!" start as we discuss our thoughts on the comedy sequel none of us saw coming. It's BORAT: SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM. The second new release of the week sees writer/director Sofia Coppola reteaming with one of her favorites, Bill Murray. He's paired with Rashida Jones in the father/daughter dramedy, ON THE ROCKS. For this week's THROWBACK CHALLENGE, we dive back into the old format once again and give one another films to see for the first time. Noah tasked Andy with 2017's A24 production, A PRAYER BEFORE DAWN, and Andy tossed Noah another Robert Altman flick to cross off his list: 1974's CALIFORNIA SPLIT. Are y'all staying safe and sane?We hope so. Cheers! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-film-harmonic/support...more1h 16minPlay
October 22, 202070. The Trial of the Chicago 7 / Kajillionaire / Time / Pump Up the VolumeWe kick off the big 7-0First, it's the return of "Aaron Sorkin The Writer" being led by "Aaron Sorkin The Director" with the new Netflix Original, THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7. The cast of names is too long to fit into this text field. The second new film of the week is the third feature from the singular Miranda July. It's called KAJILLIONAIRE, and it features Evan Rachel Wood, Richard Jenkins, Debra Winger and Gina Rodriguez. There's plenty to talk about here. Finishing the trio of new releases is Garrett Bradley's emotionally striking documentary, TIME. We'll break down our thoughts. For the THROWBACK CHALLENGE, we respond to another listener-commissioned request and tackle the 1990 "Anarchist Ferris Bueller" (?) flick, PUMP UP THE VOLUME. Thanks, Dick Carr. Thank you. We've famined, and now we're feasting. Cheers! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-film-harmonic/support...more1h 2minPlay
October 15, 202069. The Best Films of 2005 & 2008 / The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson / AnimalsIn a normal world, we'd already be nice and snug into awards season with plenty of new movies to sink our teeth into. Of course that is not the case in 2020 AD. Nope, we have absolutely zero new films to discuss for Episode 69, so we start this show by diving into a dual PICK SIX. Andy ranks his SIX FAVORITE FILMS OF 2008, while Noah counts down his choices for the SIX BEST FILMS OF 2005. From there, we decide to tackle a double dose of listener-commissioned THROWBACK CHALLENGES. First, it's a talk on the Netflix Original Documentary from 2017, THE DEATH AND LIFE OF MARSHA P. JOHNSON. That leads us into a discussion on the Collin Schiffli/David Dastmalchian collaboration from 2014, ANIMALS. We promise to have a slew of new ones to toss your way in a week's time.

October 08, 202068. Dick Johnson is Dead / Best Revenge Flicks / Harlem NightsWe're back after a semi-short break! The new film this week is Kirsten Johnson's follow-up to her 2016 documentary, CAMERAPERSON. It's a remarkably personal undertaking paying homage to her father, titled DICK JOHNSON IS DEAD. See where we land on one of the standouts from this year's Sundance Film Festival. The PICK SIX segment this go 'round sees us ranking our choices for the SIX BEST REVENGE FILMS OF ALL-TIME. Lots of sweat, blood and vengeance to make note of here. In one of the more out-of-left-field THROWBACK CHALLENGES to date, we break down our first watch of retired left-handed pitcher CC Sabathia's all-time favorite film, HARLEM NIGHTS. Yes, you read all of that correctly.Cheers! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-film-harmonic/support...more1h 13minPlay
September 24, 202067. The Devil All the Time / Antebellum / Pain and Glory / Sin NombreWe kick off this week's episode with a discussion on another extremely popular Netflix Original...the ensemble-driven new film from Antonio Campos, THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME. Spiderman v Batman in an alternate uber-religious time capsule universe? Yeah, kinda. This leads into a revival of the FIVE GOOD QUESTIONS segment, in which Andy asks Noah about his experience with the Janelle Monae-led psychological thriller, ANTEBELLUM. Some strong opinions are on display. The double-barreled THROWBACK CHALLENGE makes its return as well! Noah made Andy watch the 2019 film from Pedro Almodóvar, PAIN AND GLORY, while Andy coincidentally also gave Noah a Spanish-language film -- Cary Joji Fukunaga's 2009 debut, SIN NOMBRE.

September 16, 202066. Best Films of 1994 & 2015 / A Woman Under The InfluenceA total of ZERO new films forces us to switch things up and begin this week's episode with the PICK SIX segment. A roll of the dice decided that Noah will rank his choices for the SIX BEST FILMS OF 1994, while Andy counts down the SIX BEST FILMS OF 2015. We close out the show with the latest THROWBACK CHALLENGE, in which we discuss our first sit-down with the 1974 film from John Cassavetes, A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE, starring Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk. Is it truly an iconic moment in independent cinematic history? We break it down on our end.
