Two Thumbs Undecided

Zach and Sam dive into Censorship throughout film history and when if ever it's acceptable.

Sam and Zach discuss film's internet database and it's social media page, IMDb and Letterboxd respectively. Does IMDb breach privacy concerns, is Letterboxd a growing hotbed of white supremacist??! Well listen to the darn episode. I ain't saying shit.

We interview founder and managing partner of Syndicated Bar Theater Kitchen in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Seriously one of the best theaters in all of NYC. Support your local theater!

On June 7th, 2020, Two Thumbs Undecided has a Black Lives Themed episode with Gender & Racial Equity Activist/lover of movies/and old friend Reed Kimbrough. He talks about the films that effected him the most concerning racism and black lives on the big screen, including "In the Heat of the Night," "Philadelphia," and "A Time to Kill."

This episode what live just a few days after Floyd'd murder and the very beginning of the riots/protests. The episode starts with immediate reactions to what's been going on, but we wanted show as much respect for the BLM movement as possible so we can focus an episode completely on the movement. So sorry if this episode seems a bit out of place.

This episode we talk about musicians in a band or solo act who transition to composition for movies. This includes Duke Ellington, Curtis Mayfield Danny Elfman, Mark Mothersbaugh, Trent Reznor, and even Paul McCartney.

Zach and Sam get in a time machine to go kill Hitler but accidentally kill Chaplin instead. They talk about time machine movies while they grieve.

Zach and Sam bring on Dave Colonna from Dave & Giggles to talk about coloring and post production during the pandemic, but we kinda get sidetracked talking about 80s movies.

From Willis O’Brien to Wes Anderson, the brothers go over the history and impact of stop motion animation (basically claymation).

Brothers talk about all things 90s indie cinema, from Slacker to Being John Malkovich.

The brothers interview Penelope Bartlett, Criterion Channel programmer. Sam congratulates Penelope for the Channel's year anniversary, and Zach for some reason compares Observations on Film Art to Steve Jobs taking LSD for the first time.
