Pod Casty For Me Jake Serwin & Ian Rhine

This is an unlocked bonus episode from our Patreon feed, Paid Costly For Me.

Here's some hidden gold for ya: the damned Pod Casty For Me Patreon feed! No, for real. Let's be for real now. Today we're finishing up the Man With No Name trilogy with the final and best film of the lot, Sergio Leone's 1966 Civil War Western epic THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. No Oxford comma for Sergio I guess! Well, fair enough.
We both loved this one, actually, and had a bang-up time talking about Eli Wallach, the Civil War, cinematographer Tonino Delli Colli, trick shooting, dehydration prosthetics, and all kinds of crazy stuff like we always do.
All that twice a month for just $5! They ought to hang us for this. Please!
Thanks as always to Jetski for our theme music and to Jeremy Allison for our artwork.

1..2..3..4! Pretty rock and roll way to start an episode description, I thought. This week we're absolutely shredding (guitar term) through a discussion of Paul Schrader's understandably underseen 1987 struggling rock band sibling melodrama film, LIGHT OF DAY, and joining us are our great pals Ryan and Este from the Altmania podcast! We talk mom stuff, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Jett and Michael J. Fox's palpable sexual chemistry, the very limited revolutionary potential of popular music, and a lot about the podcast Guys: A Podcast About Guys. You don't have to have heard that or even seen the movie LIGHT OF DAY to enjoy this one, though. We're just a couple of cool rock music types jamming out (music term), podcast-style. Check it out!

Hop on the launch, folks, we're heading to THE MOSQUITO COAST! Peter Weir's 1986 film scripted by Paul Schrader, that is. Join us for a conversation about the unfinished capitalist critique of prepper guys, the problems with Going Back To Nature, and how we are much smarter and better than Allie Fox generally because we have done more reading. Well, Ian has. One time I pitched Ian on a Patreon episode where I just ask him questions about agriculture for an hour, and this basically became that. For free! What a good podcast. Hope you all enjoy!
By the way, the podcast I couldn't remember any real details about was this great Upstream episode with Kristen Ghodsee.

It's the MISHIMA episode. It's also the Mishima episode, in a way.
We do our best to discuss both Paul Schrader's 1985 art-biopic MISHIMA: A LIFE IN FOUR CHAPTERS and the man Yukio Mishima with our returning pal Comrade Yui, who has been on a real journey with this film. As you might expect, things get pretty weighty: the nature and purpose of art, Schrader's depiction of the suicide, whether you can be a bodybuilder without being fascist about it. This is a special one, folks.

It's been so long...just kidding, it's been a week! That's the normal time between episodes. Nevertheless, we're back with Paul Schrader's first film he "didn't" write himself, the 1982 erotic horror remake CAT PEOPLE, and we're thrilled to be joined by film writer and genuine English person Esmé Holden! We talk Schrader's depiction(s) of women, remakes, zoos as prisons/prisons as zoos, and the David Bowie of it all.
Excited for you to have John Heard this one, folks! Hey, come on. I'm just kidding around.
