1 hr 19 min - Scent of a Woman (1992) (SENSES #3)
We. Are. Back. At. It! We are here with the sense of SMELL and Eric’s pick. This film was a complete blast to watch and we laughed quite a bit. Directed by Martin Brest, “Scent of a Woman.” This film stars Al Pacino, Chris O’Donnell, and Philip Seymour Hoffman and this film was interesting. With some crazy editing, wild dialogue, and intense acting, this film was fun to talk through. Issues of being blind, which sense we’d lose, depression, suicide, etc. We laughed a lot, hope you enjoy!

1 hr 26 min - Redline (2009) (SENSES #2)
Snobbies, BUCKLE. UP!!! This week we have Cody’s pick for SENSES and his pick is SIGHT. This film is something that NONE of the snobs have seen. This film RULES! A film that took 7 YEARS to make! An all out war on the senses, this animated film, directed by: Takeshi Koike, is about a deadly race called “REDLINE” which takes place on a Nationalist Robot world hellbent on killing every racer before they finish. This is very nearly a 5 star film and is an absolute adrenaline rush. We LOVED talking through this film and all that it holds in terms of visuals, sound, and yes…deeper issues too! Enjoy!

SPOOKTOBER NUMBER 6!! We are back! This year is going to look a little different. This year we are picking two films picked by some stellar guests. Today’s guest is TRISTAN!!! He chose our very first HITCHCOCK film! This film is an all-time classic film and we were very excited to watch, “Psycho.” We really enjoyed talking about a film that is well paced, shot, blocked, and acted. This is a good movie that inspired horror films. This is also a perfect B&W film. I think that this is a perfect film. Enjoy our SPOOOOOOOOOOOOKY discussion.

1 hr 20 min - Pom Poko (1994) (TOKYO FILMS #4)
We are VERY MUCH back for Tokyo Films with Jared’s pick for this week. This pick came with a few guests! Josh and John stop by to give their insight into this film. Josh had just come back from Tokyo and we enjoyed hearing about his journey through the countryside and the city itself. The pick came from the director of Jared’s favorite Studio Ghibli film, director Isao Takahata’s “Pom Poko” Ladies and Gentlemen, this film was absolutely nuts. This film is a 5 out of 5. A true wacky masterpiece. We loved talking through the animation style, the deeper themes, the very obvious presence of scrotum, and other things. We hope you enjoy!

1 hr 17 min - Lost in Translation (2003) (TOKYO FILMS #3)
LADIES and GENTLEMEN! We are back in Tokyo for another week and another beautiful pick. This week we have Eric’s pick and his sister is our star guest, Ro Birkey. We really enjoyed talking about this film and discussing Sofia Coppola, low budget filming, age differences, single location filming, unhappy marriages, seeing a city through a car, bored in Tokyo, etc. This film was beautifully shot and really captured the city of Tokyo in the early 2000’s. We laughed, we cried, we rated it high. Enjoy!
