    Thoughts from your host…

    2017 brings about a return to the show in earnest after the final quarter of 2016 became riddled with interruptions. It’s good to be back, dear listeners – however few of you may be left! Sometimes you don’t realize how much you missed doing something until you take so much time away from it!

    The box office might have been down for the new Scorsese project, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth discussing!

    My thanks to my guest for performing this episode’s fun musical intro – it’s quickly becoming my favorite part of his guest spots.

    Thoughts from your host…

    No. When I recorded Episode 167 back in early November I did not envision it being the last review episode of the year. I had plans to talk about LION, LA LA LAND, JACKIE, and so many more movies that make the final weeks of the year so wonderful.

    But life had other plans for me.

    By now, you are all likely quite well acquainted with my family matters (and if you’re not, go here). All I’ll say right now is that the last several weeks have gone a long way towards reminding me why I enjoy doing these shows so much. If nothing else, I get a small thrill from leaving my mark on the world, no matter how tiny a mark that might be. What’s more, I love spending a few hours with my guests.

    We’re talking about movies, but really – we’re talking about them

    So let’s turn off the lights on 2016…but before we do, let me offer this.

    Time and again, I have heard people cry about how much this year has sucked…how much spirit it has drained…how many great things it has taken. To that, I offer this: all of those great things are temporary. They need to be appreciated for what they are while they are.

    Great leadership, great artists, even dearly loved friends and family? It’s all fleeting. We cannot be angry at time for taking them from us, just as we cannot be angry at the tide for ebbing back.

    Smell the flowers while you can, and here’s to better days ahead.

     

    As usual, if you’re curious about the songs used as bed music, the track list can be found above in the show notes.

    As mentioned within the introduction, if you find the bed music distracting, a music-free version of this episode can be found here.

    Thanks for tuning in to episode one-hundred-sixty-eight, and all the best for the new year…

    Runtime

    84 minutes

    Show Contents:

    0:00 Dear Listener: Please Love Each-Other
    4:26 Intro
    8:43 Know Your Enemy: Douglas Robinson, co-host of The Unnamed Movie Podcast
    25:28 The New Slang: ARRIVAL
    53:17 The Other Side I: DARK CITY
    71:28 The Other Side II: INCENDIES

    Thoughts from your host…

    This show begins a little differently than normal, and to that end I can only hope for understanding and slight forgiveness. What is the point in having a platform if you aren’t going to step-up on to it from time to time to say something important?

    I’m sure that not everyone will agree with me, I’m sure some will say I’m being naive. So be it – whoever feels such things is well within their right to feel them. I won’t argue them, I won’t even engage. Right now, I want to be positive and embody hope.

    As for the show itself, it was a lot like a family reunion, with my brother-from-another-mother’s-brother-from-the-same-mother stopping by for coffee and a catch-up. What are Sundays, after-all, if not a moment for family?

    So listen, be well, and believe.

    Thoughts from your host…

     

     

     

    I could use this space to go on and on about how odd it is to record before I write. I could use it to extoll the virtues of catching up with old friends. I could even use it to ask aloud how I got this far into the life of a podcast before using Zappa as bed music.

    However, what I think I want to express most is how much I loved the film up for discussion today, and indeed the discussion it provoked.

     

    Thanks for tuning into episode one-hundred-sixty-six.
