  • "The Fan" (1996, Dir: Tony Scott) w/ Nate Fisher
    May 9 2025

    After months in the digital mines, Matt and Corbin come up for air with NATE FISHER, co-writer of the fabulous new American Baseball Picture EEPHUS. We discuss Tony Scott's 1996 Travis-Bickle-As-Sports-Fan classic THE FAN. Topics include: Frederick Weisman, Deniro in a very strange mode, Barry Bonds, and modernist stability slipping into the chaotic morass of the next thing.

    Our recs this week don't have any relevant links, so I will spare you the description of them here. But, Eephus is currently available on your VOD utility of choice, watch it today. Also make sure to check out Nate's scripted podcast with Will Senett, 'A Closer Look.'

    We return to Digital Cinema next week with ZODIAC. Finally.

  • Digital Frontiers: "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith"
    May 4 2025

    It goes without saying that a fake holiday to celebrate a film franchise owned by the Disney Corporation is an atrocity of taste and nonsense of the highest degree. Why does life under the social mediaized form of capitalism subject you to all this simpery, this nonsense, this neverending wave of novelty? Truly we are in hell.

    But hey we had a Star Wars episode in the tank so screw it, Happy Star Wars Day, May the Fourth Be With You! We are joined by friend of the program Ryder Canepa to talk about Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith! This is a freewheeling episode about how this movie made me and Matt into Men, the emergence of Digital Cinema as we know it, and how a lot of this bad boy is sick with it, if you let it into your heart.

    Guess what: our next epsidoe isn't about Zodiac no matter what I say! It's going to be about "The Fan," from 1996. Also watch "Eephus" from earlier this year. We will have a guest. It's a whole thing.

  • Digital Frontiers: "INLAND EMPIRE" (2006, Dir: David Lynch)
    May 2 2025

    Corbin and Matt have spent week dreading the moment when they would have to watch INLAND EMPIRE, David Lynch's extreme digital cinema expirment that he shot with a skateboard camera. But what if... it's actually kind of sick with it?

    Corbin recommends The Long Good Friday. Matt recommends Protean Magazine.

    Our next episode will be about STAR WARS EPISODE THREE: REVENGE OF THE SITH. It was in theaters again! It's not in theaters anymore, boo!
