    Letter Never Sent: Kalatozov's Soviet Diamond Adventure

    Letter Never Sent: Kalatozov's Soviet Diamond Adventure

    On the fifty-fifth episode of the Cinematic Odyssey, Tristen and Max return from hiatus to their shortest episode ever! In it, both discuss thoughts and opinions on Soviet director Mikhail Kalatozov's 1960 adventure film Letter Never Sent, the same director that directed Tristen's top overall film of 2023. Tristen gushes on visual effects and technical capabilities, Max slams a man named Konstantin, and there are plenty of puns to go around.

    Scanners - Boundary Breaking & Head Popping

    Scanners - Boundary Breaking & Head Popping

    MOVIE DISCUSSION: 

    Melanie & Melvin discuss David Cronenberg's Scanners, a contemplative psychological horror with intense bookends! From the film's odd casting to its heady-concepts of individual thought and sovereignty, the two discuss what makes Scanners a worthwhile watch for those searching for a little bit more in their thrillers!

    Topics:

    • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 36-minutes further discussing Wall·E, specifically the film's focus on the transcendental nature of love. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
    • Scanners has great special effects, and they are used sparingly. This undoubtedly makes them more fun.
    • Howard Shore's score excels in audibly explaining the effect of the Scanner.
    • Stephen Lack's performance as Cameron is undoubtedly unfulfilled but Melvin didn't find it so distracting that it took away from the experience. 
    • Melvin, "It's a movie that knows you're smart and can keep up."
    • How individual scanners find ways to overcome the internal static, or noise, that they suffer is extremely interesting. Some will coexist with other scanners, others will create art.
    • The two think through what makes the scanner so frightening, specifically the invasion of the self.
    • While watching Scanners, Melvin contemplated the way in which God created humanity, specifically the individual sovereignty of the body, and how the body creates a natural, secure barrier among others both physically and mentally.
    • The two agree: being a scanner probably sucks!

    Teen Wolf - 80s Comedy Galore

    Teen Wolf - 80s Comedy Galore

    PATREON PARTY PLEASER:
     
    This movie was selected by our Patreon Supporters over at the Cinematic Doctrine Patreon. Support as little as $3 a month and have your voice heard!  

    Melanie and Melvin summarize Teen Wolf from start to finish with hilarious commentary, goofin' on the supremely weird premise yet laughing over the absurd, hairy comedy within! Plus, stick around to the end for a surprise regarding that rumor!

    Topics: 

    • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 27-minutes discussing the aesthetics and appeal of 80s films. Plus, the celebration of exquisite practical effects prior to the embrace of digital effects in the 90s onward. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 
    • Teen Wolf's opening is really strong, setting the groundwork for the drama and comedy that will ensue. 
    • Boof is a queen among queens, but she is also very problematic. Especially if we swapped Boof and Scottie's gender.
    • The first time Scottie transforms publicly is one of the funniest laughs Melvin has had in a very long time.
    • Scottie's dad is a really great movie dad. Facts.
    • Melvin exposes Melanie to a long-standing rumor regarding the finale of Teen Wolf, and spent some time rewinding his BD-copy of the film to confirm whether it was true.
