MOVIE DISCUSSION:

Melvin's wife Kathryn joins him for an episode discussing Eraserhead, David Lynch's off-beat absurdist film featuring cinema's favorite lil' baby! From encroaching industrialization to a wealth of understated humor, Eraserhead includes an extreme degree of themes and metaphors, and the two  explore it all in this engaging and educational episode!

Topics:

• (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 28-minutes of Kathryn quizzing her husband Melvin on early childhood development and safety! Their findings will decide the fate of their future child! Hooray! (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
• Eraserhead isn't really about the plot (although it does have a plot!). It's much more a movie about the vibe.
• Eraserhead is likely not only very easy to understand but incredibly related to people who already feel weird, awkward, or ostracized from whatever is considered "normal" in a social environment.
• Discussing the "Woman in the Radiator".
• There's a very clear sexual theme playing throughout Eraserhead but the film itself is by no means sexual, nor is it inherently about sexuality.
• Kathryn, "Say what you will about, like, the weird imagery, but [Eraserhead] is not a movie that divorces sex from life."
• Describing and interpreting the Eraserhead Baby.
• Wondering if the world of the film is literal, metaphorical, but also realizing that ultimately it doesn't matter.
• Discussing the climax and the eraser factory.

MOVIE DISCUSSION: 
 
ericnevins.com 

Eric Nevins from the Halfway There Podcast, and the Christian Podcast Association, joins Melvin and Dan in discussing one of Terrance Malick's most popular films, if not his most popular film ever! Semi-autobiographical, semi-retelling of the book of Job, semi-conventional narrative; The Tree of Life offers a lot to chew on, and the three of them eagerly dive in! 

Topics: 

• (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 28-minutes detailing movies we've changed opinion on, both films we've liked and now dislike and also disliked but now like, and why. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
• Eric shares about his podcast, what drew him to amplifying Christian voices, and the particular way he prefers to do it.
• The Tree of Life, as Melvin puts it, is usually someone's pastor's favorite movie.
• While everyone watched The Tree of Life for the episode, Melvin specifically watched the extended cut of The Tree of Life exclusive to its Criterion release. It contains an additional 50+ minutes.
• The Tree of Life requires a bit of work from its audience, demanding they put in some effort in to comprehending its floating imagery, whispered monologues, and near-constant Christian allusions.
• There's a very clear, very obvious three-act structure to The Tree of Life, and each part of the film offers something different in terms of style and engagement. The second act is largely what people will connect with.
• Eric, Daniel, and Melvin each discuss The Tree of Life's artistically ambiguous ending, and what it means to them.
• Terrence Malick as a storyteller is routinely critical of industrialization, often using nature and natural beauty to showcase tranquility, glory, and peace.
• The Tree of Life keeps in conversation two ideas: the Way of Nature and the Way of Grace. The gang tries to discern what these represent, and how they communicate.

Mike and Nick delve into one of the enigmatic filmmakers of the French New Wave.
Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959) and Last Year at Marienbad (1961) both use imaginative techniques to explore memory and reality. Find out what the duo has to say about these two films and the filmmaker.

Mike and Nick return after a long hiatus to link the new and the old. Reviewing and thinking about Cronenberg's newest offering and seeing how far he's come with his latest film, Crimes of the Future. Does the wizard of body horror still have it? Find out on this episode.

The time has finally come... The gang is subjected to the disturbing and gorgeous one-of-a-kind film from Lars Von Trier, Antichrist (2009). This movie has a reputation for containing some of the most difficult to watch scenes, which dare the viewer to not look away. Bestowing this honor on the gang, is listener Chris, who actually asked to have this choice removed from the wheel. Antichrist is not for the faint of heart, so feel free to skip watching it yourself, and let us do your dirty work.

I look at Sam Mendes' sophomore effort, 'Road to Perdition' (2002). 

MOVIE DISCUSSION:

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know this episode delves into a very difficult topic, including content that might otherwise be uncomfortable, offensive, and triggering to those listening. As such, I have marked this episode explicit in the shownotes.

In this episode, Daniel and I take some time setting the groundwork for this tonally challenging film, giving you some details on the content within. It may seem a bit abrasive, but we promise we wouldn’t be covering the movie if it weren’t tame. Then, Daniel and I get into our immediate, non-spoilery thoughts regarding the films expression of anxiety, and how different characters exhibit different responses to anxiety. Following this, we chat about a small cameo that horror fans will enjoy when watching She Dies Tomorrow. Afterward, we dig into spoilers and talk about the more nuanced themes and projections of anxiety and how certain characters resolve their struggles, and how Daniel and I as Christians believe it’s important to recognize and sympathize with those who have anxiety, as well as approaching it with the confidence that, in Christ, there are eternal and practical solutions to battling anxiety.

She Dies Tomorrow is Rated R for language, some sexual references, drug use and bloody images. It features Kate Lyn Sheil, Jane Adams, Katie Aselton, Chris Messina, Kentucker Audley, Tunde Adebimpe, and Jennifer Kim. Directed by Amy Seimetz. She Dies Tomorrow is available to rent or buy on VUDU.

MOVIE DISCUSSION:

We’ve been covering an obscene amount of Disney productions lately what-with the Marvel films and two Disney Plus exclusives – Hamilton and Stargirl respectively – so I think it’s safe to say we’re ready to move away from Disney for a while. Or, as long as we can, because Disney clearly has a hold on the market. We’ll inevitably get back to it, but we want to head into more independent and creative atmospheres, and that’s where A Ghost Story comes in.

In this episode of the podcast, you’ll get a chance to hear how Daniel and I initially reacted to the trailer for A Ghost Story back in 2017 (you know, seeing an atmospheric, visually stunning film with a man wearing a sheet-ghost costume). After that, you’ll hear about Daniel’s excellent theater experience with a random stranger. Then I dig into how a scene emotionally destroyed me, and how A Ghost Story uses simple yet prolonged sequences to produce strong emotions. Among those emotions, we discuss how, for a lot of people, laughter seemed to be a predominant reaction to a lot of scenes that take place in A Ghost Story. And finally, Daniel and I dig into the concept of interpretation, and how certain art-pieces are created to provoke emotions or feelings, and less concerned with giving definitive answers.

A Ghost Story is Rated R for brief language and a disturbing image. It features Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara. Directed by David Lowery. A Ghost Story is currently available on Netflix.
