  • Solo Edition: “No more time outs” - Discussing Out of Sight

    How does a Federal Marshal and a bank robber find love and romance with each other as they both also try to catch each other?  This is the subject of today's solo Tilt Shift episode.  Chris goes through Out of Sight, an early Steven Soderbergh movie that stars George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez.  Jake and Charly are absent on this one, so we hope you enjoy Chris' insightful but slightly overly monotone delivery.

  • "More human than human" - Discussing Blade Runner 2049
    It’s tough to blow people away with fresh and innovative science fiction; unfortunately, the genre is jam packed with tropes and cliches that are predictable and tiring. But in 2017, Denis Villeneuve built upon the bleak dystopian world of Ridley Scott’s neo-noir masterpiece, Blade Runner, and subverted our expectations, challenged the cliches, and stretched the imagination of the science fiction genre, by asking not merely what it means to be human, but rather, what it means to be beyond human. Join The Tilt Shift as we unpack the art and science of Blade Runner 2049.

  • “This is something that happens” - Discussing Magnolia
    In 1999 Paul Thomas Anderson made a 3 hour and 9 minute family drama entitled, Magnolia, which included a star studded cast, headed by Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julianne Moore, William H. Macy, and John C. Reilly. Interestingly, it was more or less snubbed during award season. A movie that can be described as relentless in its rising tension, it is probably known best for the scene where it rains frogs over the desperate and hopeless characters whose lives interconnect through what appears to be more than coincidence. Have a listen as The Tilt Shift tries to break down this elusive, and under- appreciated gem of a film.

  • “You’re out of your element” - Discussing The Big Lebowski
    Inspired by their affinity for Americana, absurdity and the Midwest, these brothers have been able to spin mythic tales of tragedy, comedy and anything in between, to create an anthology of film spanning four decades. In their 1998 classic, we are pulled into a world of bowling, bags full of money (or not), and a case of mistaken identity, all of which are turned into the building blocks of one of the most bizarre, original stories about everything and nothing all at the same time. So grab an oat soda, and join the Tilt Shift as they chat about The Dude, Walter, and The Big Lebowksi.

  • "Allow me to retort" - Discussing Pulp Fiction

    For our first episode of The Tilt Shift, Chris, Jake and Charly discuss Quentin Tarantino's classic, Pulp Fiction. This might seem like a rule breaker for our podcast which claims to discuss films that are often overlooked. But what if this movie is, to some extent overlooked and underrated, or dare we say, overrated? It's assumed a classic by many, quoted by a generation, and seen as a cool film about bad people. And though it seems to always make its way onto every film buff's top 10 list, no one really takes the time to discuss why it's such a groundbreaking, meaningful movie. As Jules Winnfield says, "I've never gave much thought about what it meant..." On this episode of the Tilt Shift we're going to do exactly that.

About The Tilt Shift

From the publisher's feed

We're three guys and guests discussing movies and anything else on a screen that deserve discussion. We think that a movie or show or documentary can become better by talking about it for a while. We don't focus on what critics, film analysts or other professionals think; these are our own thoughts...Because a good film and a few people in a room is more than enough for a fun discussion about movies.
