2004 A Podcast Odyysey

The first film written and directed by a Black Lesbian gets posted late for LGBTQ+ Pride Month. It's a shame. We're sorry. Mainly Bobby. Bobby's sorry and responsible.

We were inspired by Alex Ross Perry to watch something sarcastic and cynical and we were angry at the fact we couldn't make it to a showing of How to Blow Up a Pipeline and the petroleum industry, of course.

We're beginning our bust down the block of Stephen Spielberg's filmography with our thesis episode on his heavily embelished autobiopic.

The Color Wheel, Listen Up Phillip, and Her Smell all have common threads, minus the *ncest of The Color Wheel.

This is the second part of our review of the third season of Twin Peaks.

This is our coverage of the return of Twin Peaks, as a portion of our David Lynch series.

In a change of pace, we're getting this one out relatively fast. We saw Oppenheimer and Barbie.

We watch a rather bleak film directed by Clint Eastwood. Based on the actual events of Jewell's life we see a man save a substantial amount of people by being the right person at the right time have to dodge the media and the FBI painting him as the bomber of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games.

We diverged from our list to dip our toes into the world of reviewing musical films.

Wong Kar-Wai's 2000 romantic drama is beautiful and set in 1960's Hong Kong.

Continuing our Lynch Filmography series, we watch his Hollywood delusion.

Todd Haynes' 2019 legal drama let us all know we have plastic in our bodies, our blood, and now our entire existence. Thanks to years of hiding this information, the chemical companies and factories involved in the manufacture of plastics were able to produce a world-ruining amount of plastic by polluting the surrounding land and the blood of the surrounding communities. We love Mark Ruffalo.

A late upload that was set to be at the end of Black History month, we watched F. Gary Gray's crime drama action film from 1996.

Hype Williams', arguably the best director of music videos of alltime, first feature length film shows the nuances of black male existence at the turn of the millenium.

For Black History Month, we're watching popular films of notable black directors. What better way to start than with the most iconic of Spike Lee joints.

Alex Diop's first fictional or first non-documentary film, at least not direct documentary was screened at our local university's art museum. The connection the director, as the only black person and only person with the same heritage as the defendant, has with the woman on trial for the death of her child both acknowledges what is able to be related to in another person and how you can never truly understand someone. The film is based on the trial of Fabienne Kabou and Diop's own experience of witnessing and beginning a documentary on the trial. What initially was going to be a documentary of the trial became a dive into the life and struggles of the director, being of the same decent of the defendant and becoming a mother herself.

This donkey filled doublefeature continues our coverage of Korine's filmography with his Dogma95 certified Julien Donkey-Boy. We also were privelged to attend a screening of Jerzy Skolimowski's EO, which has a real donkey, boy.

After watching her performance in Gummo, we decided to dig into Linda Manz's filmography.

Our bunny ears at their straightest and our jaws slightly cocked we watch Korine's first feature film.

Hey, just looking out. This is about abortion. Abortion in the 1950's.
