Hey there Snobbies! This week we continue on our journey with the late Terence Davies and his filmography. This week was Cody’s pick and he chose to go with the director’s last film that he ever made…Benediction. A film that truly has some of the most incredible acting we have ever seen. The film features a war time military man who is put into a mental hospital to quiet his dissenting voice. The film follows the man’s life and love’s. With incredible direction, brutal shots, and beautiful scenery, the film takes you along a path that follows closely with Davies’s own life. We LOVED Benediction and loved talking through it tonight. We hope that you enjoy it as well. 

Film Discussed: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Benediction (2021)

Welcome back Snobbies. We are EXCITED to have you back and enjoying another spooky film with us. This week, we have the incomparable, Josh George with us! He joins for the first time ever and we have an interesting one for you. Jared’s pick this week and he chose a legend of a film from 1932, director Tod Browning brings us, “Freaks.” This film deals in the controversial as it features differently abled people and takes place in a circus. The film follows certain characters as they go through circus life. Hans, one of the main characters and who has dwarfism, is infatuated with a female acrobat named Cleopatra and this infatuation gets everyone into a heap of trouble. We freaking loved this film so join us as we dance our way through it and talk about some surprisingly deep topics. Enjoy!

Here. We. GOOOOO!! Welcome back to SPOOKTOBER 4, pick #3 by Cody Martin himself. We are excited to talk about this film. This animated EPIC is packed with delicious animation, beautiful shots, and a tragic story. This film is directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri and is called, “Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust.” This film, in the words of Cody is the perfect middle ground as it doesn’t feel like a halloween movie made by Disney or an over the top horror flick. WE really had a good time with this film and found it to be the perfect Sppoktober addition to the collection. Enjoy!

SNOBBIES! Bringing to you SPOOKTOBER #2!! This week we have Eric’s pick and he decided to go the wacky route. If you remember our very first episode SPOOKTOBER #1, where we featured “House,” this film made us feel right at home. GUEST Alec Brunk joined us today as Eric’s first guest on the pod! This film’s director Ricky Lau brings us “Mr. Vampire.” This film from 1985 brought possibly the most laughs we’ve had on this episode. A mixture of killing vampires, sexy ghosts, KungFu vamp slaying,  comedic assistants, misty hill gorillas, hopping undead, I mean…it goes on and on. This film rules and we had such a fun time talking through it. Enjoy!

CUE spooky witch laughter and zealous lightening storms!! That’s right! It’s SPOOKTOBER #4!!!! We are PSYCHED! to be back in the SPOOKTOBER atmosphere. Caleb, Cody, and Eric take on Caleb’s pick for tonight (Jared is in Europe…having a terrible time) a film that is melancholic in nature and definitely sets up some sad snobs action. A film directed by LENGENDARY director Lars von Trier, “Melancholia.” This film was seen by all and the rewatch was improved in the eyes of some and sustained in the eyes of others. We talked about artistic shots, mental health, world death, how absolutely strange this film was followed by a discussion on how smart this film was…everything was covered and nothing was covered. Join us on this journey through Melancholia and the mind of Lars von Trier. Enjoy!

Hey Snobbies! Welcome to the Second ever Snobbie’s Choice week. Last time, Tom picked The Truman Show. This week we have Nick Maddie who is here to give us the ethical discussion film of a lifetime, from director Ben Affleck’s debut…”Gone Baby Gone.” This film GETS. US. HEATED! WE really enjoyed talking about Right and Wrong, bad girlfriends, Bad mom’s, love for a child, and we talk about what each of us would do in their place. This film has some sensitive material as the film is about a child being taken from her home and can trigger some people. This was a great episode and we enjoyed talking through it. Enjoy!

Welcome Snobbies! to the last episode in the ChatGPT series where Artificial Intelligence picks our movies for us. The topic has been a lot of fun and we have seen some really cool films. Tonight we have Jared picking the film from the list ChatGPT gave him. The film that was chosen was from legendary director Éric Rohmer, “A Summer’s Tale.” This film deal with ultra-realism, where the other film we did for this topic, 8 1/2, did surrealism. The film follows a man on his way through the French coast side and his many interactions with women where choices are made for him. We had different opinions about this film, but we all agreed that it was the best of the bunch. 

Film Discussed: A Summer’s Tale (1996)
