Your Favorite Flick

Welcome back! Join Barrett Landen and I for a fun discussion of late-80's comedy classic Uncle Buck today. We talk about the lasting appeal of John Candy and John Hughes, the budding genius of Macaulay Culkin, and how this movie pulls at the heartstrings while making us laugh.

Join us on the bridge of the Enterprise as we discuss my favorite Star Trek move, The Wrath of Khan. I'm joined by Joe Shorter, a friend, fellow nerd (he owns it), and supporter of the show right out of the gates. While we do get a little nerdy, the core of our conversation is about the themes and ideas presented in this low-budget, by big sci-fi standards, scrappy masterpiece. We have some fun along the way, as well, and we explore what the heck Scotty is up to when he's not on board. Prepare for warp speed!

Join us for a fun cross-country ride with Brad Coffman as we discuss Martin Brest's 1988 buddy road comedy Midnight Run. We'll talk about performance, Robert de Niro's and Charles Grodin's leads of course, but also the incredible supporting cast. We hit on funny moments, but most importantly, we spend time talking about the relationships that drive this heartfelt film.

This week I'm joined by my brother, professional film editor Jeffrey Glaser for a discussion of a shared childhood favorite, Raising Arizona. It's not an overstatement to say that this is one of the movies that got Jeff and me into how and why movies work. We have a lot of fun and take advantage of his expertise to get a little technical too. I hope you enjoy!

Next week, we're going to talk Midnight Run with Brad Coffman. So, if you like 80's comedies, this is a good mini-run for you.

Join us for a discussion of David Fincher's "Se7en" with my friend Michael Young. Michael came extra- prepared and gets deep into scenes, themes and characters. He made me think about a movie I've seen a bunch in some ways I never had before.

For those who want to view ahead of time, next week's episode will feature full-time professional film editor and part-time amateur brother Jeffrey Glaser talking with me about "Raising Arizona", a shared beloved film for the two of us.

Welcome to our debut episode. In this one, we discuss 90's food dramedy classic "Big Night" with my good friend Chris Bravender. We get into all sorts of fun stuff about themes and character, among other topics.

Next week we will be talking David Fincher's "Se7en" (or "Seven" if you don't want to be obnoxious) with teacher and D&D player extraordinaire Michael Young.
