    720. Tales from the Pit: Bringing a Child into the World (Feat. Abe Epperson)

    Michael asks Abe Epperson, fellow Small Bean, to discuss his thoughts about starting a family. They discuss regret, happiness, and the anxiety of bringing a human into the world. Abe’s pretty satisfied with not having kids, but it’s always been on Michael’s list of life goals. Let’s see how these friends navigate the conversation from two different perspectives.

    714. Directorpiece Theatre: Portraying the Female Gaze (In the Cut)

    714. Directorpiece Theatre: Portraying the Female Gaze (In the Cut)

    Adam Ganser wants to talk about an early 2000’s neo-noir film where Meg Ryan is both the detective and the femme fatale. Also we see Mark Ruffalo’s dick. Also, it was directed by Jane Campion (The Piano, The Power of the Dog). This film introduces the concept of the female gaze along with a unique noir story that exposes the genre’s tendency for male gaze films.

    Friendly Bean and fellow podcaster John Liot joins Michael and Abe as they discuss 1992’s horror comedy Army of Darkness. The boys discuss the cartoonish impulses of Sam Raimi, the classic lines, and the Evil Dead series as a whole. Hail to the bean, baby.

    707. Escape from the Multicurse: Primer

    707. Escape from the Multicurse: Primer

    Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who will probably sabotage the whole thing.

    This week we discuss 2004’s Primer.

    705. Frame Rate: The Machinist (Feat. Bridgett Greenberg)

    705. Frame Rate: The Machinist (Feat. Bridgett Greenberg)

    Bridgett Greenberg joins Michael and Abe as they discuss the 2004 psychological thriller The Machinist. Christian Bale’s weight loss and gain, the early 2000’s fascination with non-linear storytelling, and the value of symbology in films are just a few of the topics in this here episode!

    Let’s thank Joran Welling for suggesting the movie. We are turning off the Pick the Flick tier temporarily so we can cover a few movies we want to cover, but when it turns back on, you can be like Joran by heading over to the Small Beans patreon and pledging for the Pick the Flick tier. We’ll make an announcement when we turn it back on!
