...starts with a movie DiF did while it was still in theaters. *slow clap*

Looking forward to checking this out guys.

Can confirm. 

I have seen "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains," though, so, dig me. (Don't. Chad showed it to me. This is as close to a textbook example of cheating as there has ever been.)

Anyway, I haven't heard anything from the podcast yet, but my instinct is "watch this space" — these might be movies you didn't grow up with, but even sight-unseen, I'd happily endorse diving into some strange new movies with these guys. Both of 'em are smart and funny, both have solid and wide-ranging taste in movies, both have been working in the film industry for a decade plus, and — not for nuthin' — both were founding members of the depraved colony that became Cahuenga Labs. These are some motherfuckers from the trench.

Posting this magical podcast a few days early because I'll be out of town on our regular Sunday to release it.  So... Merry Christmas?  This week's movie is "RUNAWAY" - a Mark Heiliger favorite - and wonderful cheeseball action affair that you've likely never heard of.  It's got Tom Selleck and, well, what else do you need to know?  Oh yeah, and it's written & directed by none other than Michael Crichton.  WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Things to do in Denver is fantastic.  I go hard for that movie.

New Episode is up! 

We debated whether or not it was a good idea to delve THIS DEEP into the world of European "art-house" film so early on, but hey, this is one of the best works by one of my personal favorite directors, Krzysztof Kieslowski.  The film is "The Double Life Of Veronique", easily one of the most beautiful films of the past 30 years, but unseen by most.  Starring Irene Jacob (currently seen in Showtime's "The Affair"), "The Double Life of Veronique" is a borderline fantasy film - well, no... it IS a fantasy film, in so many ways.  It doesn't feel of this Earth, and the world we experience in the film is wholly unique to Kieslowski's vision as a storyteller.  I suggest you check it out, even if only to study the cinematography.

Oh man... We talked about it.  It MIGHT happen in the future, but we'll probably give it some space before coming back to Kieslowski again.  We've talked about taking on TV shows, since our format kinda allows us to.  I'll mention it to Mark and see what he says.  You may have to sit in for a cameo on that one. 

Upcoming episodes (released every sunday (or monday))...

Huh. Never heard of this.

I love this movie.  Mark's never seen it.  WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW?  Well, a podcast... naturally.  We didn't plan it this way, but this is our seventh episode, continuing the trend of ONE of us has seen it, ONE of us hasn't.  "Things to do in Denver When You're Dead" is quintessential 90's flavor when it comes to indie films of the era.  Starring just about everyone, this movie is pretty damn quotable, and extremely sentimental to boot.  If you haven't seen the movie, I suggest listening to the opening, then the audio clip trailer --- then go watch the movie -- THEN come back and finish the podcast, or we'll ruin it for you.  That goes for pretty much ANY of our podcasts.  The hope is to get YOU PEOPLE to watch at least one or two of these movies (that you've probably never heard of).  If we accomplish that, well... GO US.
