Snobbies. We are BACK! And this time we are bringing you Caleb’s pick for MOME, Movies Of the Middle East. ANDY HARDING joins us for today’s episode. Today’s pick comes from Iranian LEGEND director Abbas Kiarostami, “Where is the Friend’s House?” This film was so sweet and delightful. We had fun talking about this film and how different and interesting it was. This film was a bit slow, but most of us enjoyed this insight and window into Middle Eastern culture, values, and how elders and children are treated at times. Enjoy!

Snobbies. Welcome back. Today we have a very special treat….IT’S A NEW TOPIC!! Today we are looking at our newest snob’s chosen topic which we are REALLY excited about, it’s Middle Eastern Films! Today’s pick comes from director Babak Anvari and is called, “Under the Shadow.” This film takes place in Iran during the early 90’s and the main characters find themselves in a creepy situation where their fears and traumas are being preyed upon. We loved watching this and discussing the greater elements behind the shots and what this film was trying to say. Eric was not so enthusiastic about the jump scares. We hope you Enjoy! And we want to say that we recommend you watch any of the films were talk about here.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to PART 2 of the 2nd annual Snobbie Awards! This is being released after The Oscars so that you can have a little fun and compare our wins with what happened in the Academy Awards. But as you probably remember, The Snobbie Awards are much different than The Oscars. In Part 1 we talked about our Top 10 of the year and in this episode we pick the categories we want to talk about and feature films that may not have gotten much Oscar buzz during the year. There’s some overlap, but all-in-all, we are super excited to talk about the films from 2022 and we have TWO special guests with us today, Ricky and Ethan! They join us from Oregon and Ireland! We are super happy to have them on. So buckle up and get ready for the show! Enjoy!

Snobbies, this is the end! The last film to be picked for the sight and sound list of top films for the decade! Today we have Jared's pick and he ended with a 5 star masterpiece. From Directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, comes the dancing classic watched by dancers everywhere, "The Red Shoes." This film was a treat to watch and we were happy to talk about it. The film has an incredible score and dance number that entranced us. Like the shoes, we were taken on a journey through this wonderful and colorful landscape and were transported into film bliss. We hope you enjoy this film as much as we did. 

Film Discussed: The Red Shoes (1948)

Ladies and Gentlemen! We have for you a true treat! The NUMBER 1 film on the Sight and Sound Top films for Directors, Stanley Kubrick’s Opus and true space odyssey…2001: a space odyssey. This film had a very different response from the snobs tonight. Eric loved it, Jared knows and appreciates the genius but it doesn’t wow him, Caleb liked it, and Cody thought it was mid. We had fun talking about this film that completely changed the game. We enjoyed discussing this film and wanted to make sure that we covered the top film, we hope you enjoyed it as well.

Welcome back Snobbies! to our Sight and Sound Top 100 films of all time picked by directors all over the world. Today we have Caleb’s pick and it is a truly beautiful masterpiece. Director F.W. Murnau brings a story that is timeless and stunning, even though it is a silent film! We were blown away at how heartfelt, emotional, and affecting this film was. We talked about drowning wives, feeling bad about it, city life, having a great day, immediately having a bad day, and so much more. Guest star Micah joins us and it is a really great time. Enjoy this ep everyone.

Film Discussed: Sunrise (1927)

BLUE PEOPLE!!1 Yes that's right, if it's blue, it's gotta be Avatar...or a terrible Smurf reboot. This little bonus content comes to you after we decided to talk in length about seeing Avatar together. That is, Ricky, Jared, and Eric. Cody and Caleb saw it separately and only KIND OF liked it. Join us as we gush on the effects, the plot, the realistic turnout of the water stuff, and so much more. Enjoy!

Hey! What can you say?? We're in the mood for love today and RICKY IS BAAACCCKKK!!!!1!! Today is Ricky's pick and he decided to go for the Kar-Wai Wong classic, "In the Mood for Love." Guys...we loved the film. It was so good. Such a lovely tribute to films that can be so sensual and sexy but not have to show any over the top nudity or sex scenes. Sometimes it works, but in this film, they didn't need it. The shots are great, the dialog is great, the framing, the music, the FEEELLLSSS!! It's a good time and coming in the top 10 of the top 100 isn't too shabby. We hope you Enjoy this as much as we did!

SNOBBIES! This is a new topic for the history books! We are going through the Sigh and Sound list of 100 greatest films of all time! We are picking from the Director list because the Critic list is just absolutely insane and not in a good way. This week we have CODY back! And we induct him into the hallowed halls of Films Snobs. Past Film Snobs include Ethan Jasso. Ricky Wickham. and current snobs. But now…Cody enters the ranks of Snobs and we couldn’t be happier. TJ also comes back to join us for an epic ride as Cody picks the Andrei Tarkovsky film, “Stalker.” We couldn’t believe that we would be watching one of the greatest films ever made, breaking way past the 50% mark on the list coming in at 14 of 100. This film was…a lot to take in. Join us as we travel through radiated fields and step ever closer to…THE ROOM. Enjoy!

Film Discussed: Stalker (1979)
