    Ep. 9 - Febru-scary Movie Draft!

    Ep. 9 - Febru-scary Movie Draft!

    Scary movies aren't just for October. They can also be appreciated during the coldest month of the year - February! The Silence of the Lambs kicked off a Hollywood trend of releasing high powered horror films in the month of February, and Nick Sanford is joined by two distinguished guests - Keegan Parrish (Monsterful Media) and Dalton Stuart (GoodTrash GenreCast) - to draft and rank our favorite cold-month spooky movies from five weird categories! 

    But films can only be drafted once, and there's a lot of good movies here we like, so how competitive will it get?

    Ep. 95: The Witch (2015)

    Ep. 95: The Witch (2015)

    Would you like to live deliciously?

    This week, Matt and Cody jump onto the back of a horse-drawn carriage and embark on new territory with the Robert Egger's modern classic, The Witch (or VVitch if you're extra ye olde). The boys talk all about the introduction of Eggers and Anya Taylor-Joy to the horror genre, puritanical tyranny, who really is the the witch in the wood, and which goat is truly the G.O.A.T...

    So, load up your family, grab your best pilgrim hat, and sign your name in the book of Night Howls, because there's only two more movie episodes of the year before we crawl back into our witch huts until next year!

    Thanks for listening!

    Episode 182: 'Nope' Special Edition

    Episode 182: 'Nope' Special Edition

    *SPOILER ALERT! AS WITH EVERY SPECIAL EDITION, THERE WILL BE MASSIVE SPOILERS***

    This week we talk about one of the most anticipated movies of the year. 'Nope' is the latest release from Jordan Peele and has a lot riding on it. We take a deep dive into the movie and talk about a number of different issues. From underrepresented people in Hollywood to Peele's legacy, 'Nope' gave us a lot to talk about. 

    The marketing behind Nope was unique for this time and also frustrating. The first commercial aired during this year's Super Bowl and was awesome. By the time July rolled around, the trailer had been seen an average 367 times by everyone. Did this cause us to lose interest in the movie? Were we surprised by anything after the last trailer dropped.

    It can be argued that this is the most important movie of writer-director Jordan Peele's career. Get Out is one of the most important movies of the past quarter century. Us did not have near the same impact. Peele is the victim of his own success and needs something to prevent people from saying he only had one good movie in him. Is he more Quentin Tarantino or John Singletary?

    There is little argument that Peel is the most prominent horror director out there, but is he the best? We have a spirited discussion and you may be surprised to hear what we have to say. Would it be to cheeky to say the near universal answer was "nope"? But why?

    The movie was creative and had impressive scares. And the performances were great. But was it all enough to carry the movie? Was the subplot of Nope poorly executed? There were a number of shocking reveals. We debate over how well they worked. Plus, what does the future hold for Peele?

    Chance Roberts - Writer, Safety Professional, Rancher, Hashtag Genius
    For the first time, I interview a guest on the Diary of a Bald Man. But it is not just any guest, it is the one and only, Chance Roberts. Chance is not only a published writer, safety professional, former missionary, rancher, farmer, rodeo enthusiast, and black belt in taekwondo, he is a communicator at a level seldom seen in the safety industry. Listen to how his plans for his future changed after a trip to China, and the inspiration to guide others into a career many avoid, came from a personal journey that was never planned for.

    Ali Schouten-Seeks on ‘When Harry Met Sally’ & ‘You’ve Got Mail’

    Ali Schouten-Seeks on ‘When Harry Met Sally’ & ‘You’ve Got Mail’

    Growing up, writer/producer Ali Schouten-Seeks saw herself as a total Kathleen Kelly (that is, Meg Ryan’s quirky character from YOU’VE GOT MAIL). But as she got older, she began to learn the value of owning even those quirks that some would have women tamp down…much like Sally Albright in WHEN HARRY MET SALLY (also Meg Ryan, of course). Only on FEELING SEEN does rom-com comp lit meet self discovery. Enjoy!

    Then, Jordan embraces the vibe shift to tell you all about the new Korean film THE WITCH: PART 2. THE OTHER ONE.

    The Northman (2022)

    Director Robert Eggers goes full Viking with his third feature film The Northman (2022). Jason Furie and Adam Roth share their thoughts and may or may not go on a ton of random tangents that may or may not be about Buzz Lightyear. A-listers Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, and Anya Taylor-Joy star, but was that enough to capture our attention?

    Filmtoast Fokus: Die Filmografie von Robert Eggers

    Filmtoast Fokus: Die Filmografie von Robert Eggers
    Freunde der Schauergeschichten, hergehört! In der neuen Folge Filmtoast Fokus geht es heute um die Filmografie von Robert Eggers. Egal ob The Witch oder The Lighthouse, Fakt ist, dass der Regisseur sich schnell einen Namen im Horrorgenre machen konnte. Nun ist sein neuester Film The Northman im Kino erschienen. Das haben sich Léo, Sascha und Neuzugang Luca zum Anlass genommen, um noch einmal genauer auf Eggers bisherige Filme zu schauen. Viel Spaß beim Robert Eggers Podcast

    Mit drei Filmen zum Kult-Regisseur?

    Dass Robert Eggers mit drei veröffentlichten Spielfilmen schon fast als etablierter Regisseur gilt, liegt auch an der Einzigartigkeit seiner Werke. Der US-Amerikaner hat sich seit seinem Debütfilm The Witch im Jahr 2015 auf historische Szenarien spezialisiert. Dabei bestechen Eggers Filme immer mit einem tollen Sounddesign, einer sehr authentischen Kameraarbeit und Figuren, die auf vielfacher Ebene überzeugen können.
    Egal ob oben genannter The Witch oder die beiden Folgefilme The Lighthouse aus 2019 und The Northman aus 2022 - Robert Eggers hat in seiner noch jungen Karriere schon einige Fans gewinnen können. 

    Was euch im Robert Eggers Podcast erwartet

    In der heutigen Folge haben wir einige Premieren zu feiern. Zur Moderationspremiere von Léo begrüßen wir an der Seite von Sascha auch Neu-Mitglied Luca. Neben einer Einordnung der Filme gemäß unseres beliebten Toast-Systems, wollen wir außerdem ein bisschen darauf schauen, was uns an Robert Eggers Werken besonders fasziniert. Dabei spielen neben den elementaren Handlungselementen natürlich auch die technischen Aspekte eine große Rolle. 
    Zum Abschluss stellen sich unsere drei Podcaster dann die Frage, was sie in der Zukunft von Robert Eggers erwarten. Ein Remake eines bekannten Films? Eine weitere Originalgeschichte? Oder doch etwas ganz anderes? Die Antworten auf diese und viele weitere Fragen gibt es in der neuen Folge Filmtoast Fokus.

    Viel Spaß beim Robert Eggers Podcast

    The Northman

    The Northman

    The Northman, stórmynd þeirra Robert Eggers og Sjóns, fjallar um hefnd í heimi ofbeldis og örlagatrúar og blandar saman Hollywood-leikurum á borð við Nicole Kidman, Willem Defoe, Ethan Hawke og Önnu-Taylor Joy og norrænum leikurum á borð við Alexander Skarsgård, Claes Bang, Ingvar E. Sigurðsson og Björk.

    En hverjir eru snertifletirnir við aðrar víkingamyndir eins og Hrafninn flýgur eða sjálfan Hamlet? Já, eða miðaldamyndir á borð við Excalibur, Conan the Barbarian og The Green Knight? Og eru Íslendingar líklegir til þess að fara að vinna meira sjálfir úr þessum sagnaarfi eða er það mögulega alltof dýrt?

    Við fengum þrjá leikstjóra til að ræða allt þetta og meira til, þá Ragnar Bragason, Ásgrím Sverrisson og Hauk Valdimar Pálsson, en sá síðastnefndi kom lítillega að leikmyndahönnun myndarinnar, hannaði meðal annars leikmynd eftir málverki Da Vinci. Við ræðum einnig heimsbíó frá Ástralíu, Kóreu, Frakklandi og Úkraínu og margt fleira.
