    AUS Future Me Archive: Episode 4 - The Godfather / Big Eyes

    "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse." Welcome to the fourth unsealing of the Future Me Archive! Join Future Tyler and Future Steven as they trundle on through the movies they've always meant to watch but never got a chance to, until now. In this episode, the odd pair take on one of the best films of all time (according to the dude bros of the world), "The Godfather" (#3 on Steven's List), and an off-brand Tim Burton film ... meaning that it's more normal than his usual, AKA "Big Eyes" (also #3 on Tyler's List). Along the way, they'll correct some prior misconceptions surrounding the Simpsons and the Godfather, spend a large amount of time being mean to Tim Burton, and discover that Tom Cruise is - in fact - not James Bond. If you'd like to tell us what's on your Future Me Archive, feel free to email us at artsunionscience@gmail.com, or message us on one of them new fangled social media platforms.

    2023 AUS Grant Panel - Episode 2

    "Now I am become death - the destroyer of worlds." As promised, the fall out of our AUS Grant Panel is reaching its second phase, as we continue discussing the 10 films that are up for both an Academy Award for Best Picture and an AUS Grant. Join your co-hosts Tyler D. R. Vance and Jennie S. Orton as they dissect the last 5 of the 10 films, focusing on the quality of their filmmaking, their relevance to the year 2023, and the excitement they garner for future endeavors from the filmmaking team. Along the way, they'll tremble before the might of the all-might Bomb, be silenced by a room of white people, listen to a 1950s version of a true crime podcast, stare into the wrong eye for hours, and trundle on down the steps into hell itself. Stay tuned at the end of the episode for a SPOILER SECTION. "I think I have the requisite experience and insight to aver that you are and always have been penis cancer in human form."

    2023 AUS Grant Panel - Episode 1

    "Oh my God! You've never seen 'The Godfather'? This movie is a rich blend of genius and a triumph that Robert Evans..." We have returned! After a few months hiatus to attend to the little larval human that I recently became custodian to, the Arts Union Science podcast has returned to once again tackle the ten films up for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. And wouldn't you know it, these same films are also contending for the equally coveted AUS Grants that we give out each year. Join your co-hosts Tyler D. R. Vance and Jennie S. Orton as they rattle on about 5 of the 10 best picture nominees, focusing on the quality of their filmmaking, their relevance to the year 2023, and the excitement they garner for future works from the intrepid artists that made them. Along the way, they'll spend time in Barbie Land, the Alps, New York during the fledgling years of the Internet, Yorgo Lanthimos's weird-ass head, and the splash zone of a bird full of shit. "Any questions?" TIME STAMPS: Conversations for specific movies start at ...

    Art. U. Sci. 8(2): The Batman

    "I'm vengeance!" Welcome back to particularly dark episode of the Arts Union Science Volume 8. Join your corresponding author (Tyler D. R. Vance) and - back by popular demand - this week's first author (Sean W. Phippen) as they travel back to Gotham to look at the cape crusader's most recent outing: The Batman. Along the way, they'll stop to smell the warm tones, wonder who "won the scene", and rank all the other Batman movies ('cause that's what you do these days). If you'd like to review our findings, feel free to leave us a message at artsunionscience@gmail.com. You can accept our findings, accept them with revisions, or outright reject them. Check out the rest of our episodes on Google Podcast, Spotify, Apple Podcast, etc. Also, feel free to learn more about the podcast at www.artsunionscience.ca. "Fear is a tool.

    AUS Future Me Archive: Episode 3 - 2001 A Space Odyssey and Deep Red

    "I'm scared." Welcome to the third unsealing of the Future Me Archive! Join Future Tyler and Future Steven as they continue their journey through the movies they've always meant to watch but never got a chance to, until now. In this episode, the terrible twins take on a Stanley Kubrick classic that was NOT made in the '90s, "2001: A Space Odyssey" (#2 on Steven's List), and a blast from Italy's past, "Deep Red" (#16 on Tyler's List). Along the way, they'll wonder at the ingenuity of old-timey filmmakers, make some blasphemous remarks that are sure to both at least a few film bros out there, and wax poetic about the nature of homage and inspiration in film. If you'd like to tell us what's on your Future Me Archive, feel free to email us at artsunionscience@gmail.com, or message us on one of them new fangled social media platforms.

Too ... formal. It should be more trashy. See what I mean?"
