The Projectors

Against all odds we managed to watch every best picture nominee before the 98th Academy Awards this coming Sunday so we got you a bonafide Oscars preview show! We reflect on some of the less boring Oscars moments, Bob finally weighs in on that time when James Franco & Anne Hathaway hosted the awards (15 years ago jfc), we discuss every best picture nominee and revisit the ones we previously discussed and end it on some predictions. Are the leaks for real? We’ll find out.

This week we hit up four films from the pride of the Watts neighborhood in Los Angeles, Charles Burnett. Our “Body & Soul” theme means “black directors and black leads” and Charles Burnett is gonna scratch that auteur itch we’ve been craving. We’re discussing all of his feature films except for 2. “To Sleep With Anger” we’re saving for when we get to California in our states series and we could not find “Namibia: the Struggle for Liberation” be it in valid or underhanded ways. We just kept hitting a French dubbed copy and it’s a pretty damn pricey DVD on Ebay so we will save Namibia for another time. We cover a wide range of humanity in these four films from Neosurrealism to Neo Noir to a lovely little romance. It can be a struggle in south central Los Angeles but it can also be beautiful.

For our second edition of TRILOGISTS we figure we might want to discuss an ACTUAL trilogy and we might already have a contender for “Best Trilogy” that we’ve reviewed so far. It’s Valentines time so we’re already in the feeling but this romantic tale has no holiday obligation. The dude doesn’t even have money in the first movie. HE’S A BUM AND SHE’S MADE OF FRENCH PORCELAIN. Richard Linklater’s 1995 romance “Before Sunrise” might be one of the most convincing love stories captured on film and the follow ups of “Sunset” and “Midnight” over the course of 18 years have their own special charms as well but being middle aged is certainly different than fucking in a park one magical night in Vienna when you were 23. Will George Romero’s Living Dead trilogy get dethroned? Listen and find out as we discuss the ultimate date trilogy (the third one might be rather sobering if you’re early in a relationship but do it anyway, pussy)
