Episode 48: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
This week on Remainders, we talk the 2007 gem The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Partially forgotten and possibly overshadowed by No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood upon its release, Assassination is absolutely an essential modern western. Brad Pitt plays Jesse James who is put on a pedestal by Casey Affleck’s Robert Ford. As Ford idolizes and fawns over James and tries to become one of the gang, he learns the man and the myth do not align. A story about paranoia and disillusionment that is both poetic and dreamlike, elevated by Roger Deakins’ cinematography and Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’ epic score.
Other topics include the woes of streaming, Kurt Russell battling Godzilla, what makes for a great film score, the sad Affleck brothers, and difficulties with tongue twister movie titles.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford: A Mythological Fascination of the Wild West
On the 23rd episode of The Cinematic Odyssey Max and Tristen discuss a western period piece that has flown under the radar since its release in 2007. Considering it came out in the same year as No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford hasn't been privileged to receive the same acclaim and coverage as the other two films. However, Tristen thinks that this film rightfully deserves to be in the conversation with those other two films and Max thinks otherwise.

Blonde: A Good Film with Problematic Messaging
I’m a sucker for biopics. There's just something about watching an iconic real story come to life on screen. Also, I love stories of broken people. Naturally, Andrew Dominick’s Blonde was on my watchlist for sure.
From Ana de Armas' performance as Marilyn Monroe, the portrayal of Norma Jeane to the filmography, there is a lot to look at. So, Do I Like It?

BONUS: Natural Born Killers (Hit Factory x Nostalgia Trap)
David Parsons from Nostalgia Trap Podcast joins us for a deep dive int Oliver Stone's maximalist 1994 thriller 'Natural Born Killers' starring Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis. We discuss the movie's complicated and controversial legacy, how it (sometimes) trancsends its cartoonish pastiche to paint a portrait of American violence and media sensationalism, and how it fits into a broader conversation about problematic and difficult art that is still resonant today.

Killing Them Softly
Grab the cigarillos and hoist the balaclavas: we go us a score in the works! This episode's exploration of crime cinema guides us through the seedy underbellies of Boston...or New Orleans...or Sawmills...or wherever the heck Killing Them Softly, Andrew Dominik's 2012 political diatribe in hood's clothing, takes place. But before we revel in the muck, we partake in a Blue Plate Special selection that salvages something from John Waters's 1972 cult behemoth Pink Flamingos, find a lot to love with the new A24 slasher Bodies Bodies Bodies, and celebrate the bittersweet conclusion of Better Call Saul. We eventually get around to casing the goldmine of a genre movie that is the subject of this episode, one which prompts a discussion of all things Brad Pitt, a consideration of Dominik's updating of novelist George C. Higgins and his source material, and really just find every opportunity to heap love upon Sam Shepard's brief but legendary walk-on performance as Dillon, the man himself.

Episode 233: 'Pariah' with Director Olivia Peace
Dee Rees's first feature, 2011's PARIAH, is a groundbreaking work of queer cinema and an inspiration for director Olivia Peace's own debut film, TAHARA (which premiered at Slamdance in 2020). They first watched it back in high school; so how does it hit different 11 years later? Then, we answer the HOTLINE and consider movie premises that didn't live up to the their promise...s.
