The Third Act Podcast

On the bonus episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST the crew are fish on the line flopping around in the back of the boat.
With some absent cohosts, Christian calls on Robert Gassaway (of The Flicksation Podcast) to finally watch some movies from decades past that we remember the VHS boxes from in a new segment - Don't Judge a Film by It's Cover. First film is de Palma's stylish Hitchcock riff, BODY DOUBLE. Then we talk about the only credited screenplay by Carrie Fisher for Mike Nichols', POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE. We sneak in a quick TV Corner segment at the top as well gabbing about The Rehearsal, Better Call Saul, and Barry. We also discuss music videos, blanks, and Sam Rockwell's character from Charlie's Angels.

On this bonus episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST the crew must have balance.
Christian and Armando take a nostalgic walk down memory lane and offer a retrospective on THE KARATE KID franchise.

We talk about the Rocky pedigree, iconic scenes, and music cues. We also discuss orange belts, USA Network, and Luka Doncic.

On this special bonus episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST the crew has a thousand podcasters locked inside of them.
Christian and Jericho finally record a conversation about Richard Kelly's audacious sophomore film, SOUTHLAND TALES. We've been obsessed with this movie since seeing it in theaters 15 years ago. One of the long discussed topics around this film is the version that played (disastrously) at the Cannes Film Festival. Thanks to a new blu ray from Arrow Video we can finally dig into the Cannes Cut. We talk about some of the differences in this newly available version, the timeliness of the film, and breakdown the unique and eclectic cast. We also discuss horniness, time rifts, and some incredible hair.
