On today's episode of the SLPS, Michael sits down with film critic, journalist, and actor Mack Bates to discuss the new Spike Lee joint on Netflix, DA 5 BLOODS.

Mack and Michael have a history as Mack did some very nice write-ups on a few of Michael's films. On top of that, Mack is a wealth of knowledge on Spike Lee and even has some in-depth knowledge of the Vietnam war from his father who served.

This is a wild ride and one hell of a film.

On today's episode of SLPS Nick and Michael tackle a Patreon request -- Jean-Jacques Beineix's BETTY BLUE. It's a captivating French arthouse film that tackles love, friendship, mental illness, and the artistic process. Big thanks to our Patreon patron Paul Deeter for suggesting this wonderful film.

Today's episode is a real treat for our Shame Listeners! Michael sits down with one of his oldest movie buddies, Jordan Davis, to discuss a film that means a lot to him -- Barry Jenkins' MOONLIGHT.

We everything from identity, how Barry Jenkins makes an LGBTQ ally while being a straight man, how to handle POC voices in a film if it's not made by a POC, and much more. We also dig deep into themes, filmmaking as a visual medium, and the agony that drips from each scene.

On today's bonus episode, Michael discusses the erotic thriller MALABIMBA and the nordic themed slasher BERSERKER from Vinegar Syndrome as well as EDDIE MACON'S RUN from Mill Creek Entertainment.

On today's episode, Michael and Nick tackle a film on Nick's shame list -- Walter Hill's THE WARRIORS.

One of Michael's favorite films, THE WARRIORS has taken on a huge cult following and, while still beloved, has taken on a more controversial aspect in the last few years with its re-edits by the director and its depiction of inner-city gangs.
