We discuss William Friedkin's To Live and Die in LA, the dizzying heights of an illegal car chase, Willem Dafoe's raw sexuality, and the cinematic fulfillment of a Thrillhouse scenario.

We watched Julie Taymor's Titus. Listen as we wonder if there are limits to how far metanarrative can get you, what looking at the world through gold eyeliner is like, and how flexible the medium of meat pies is as communication.

We watched Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Listen as we detail exactly how goopy sci-fi should be, muse about the origins of the Koopa Clown Car, and attempt to detail the countless things we like inspired by this elemental eco fable.

We discuss David Mamet's Heist. Listen as we laud elevated dialog, theorize on the delicacy of dumping your wife on Sam Rockwell, and wonder aloud if the heist movie is even possible to deconstruct. This one was recorded before Gene Hackman's passing, miss you dude.

We discuss Kōhei Oguri's The Buried Forest. Listen as we discuss a host of microcosms for storytelling itself, theorize on insect audio positions, and lightly tease our friend for not going full sickos on a movie.

We discuss Yuen Woo Ping's Iron Monkey. Listen as we theorize on the elasticity of the human body, wonder at the house cleaning possibilities of kung fu magic, and sit in awe of a slap so hard it can poison someone's whole blood.
