Judgement Day: T2 VS Cinema Michael Carroll

This Week: Nerd Alert! We talk with world traveler and "Minneapolis Zoo Employee" Matthew McLaughlin about doing scientific research in the field, visiting Antarctica, working on reality TV with Robert Englund, being fascinated with the Faces of Death series at a young age and the dynamic screen presence that is Joe Morton. This one is all over the map, folks!

This week Anti-Folk veteran Turner Cody is my guest and we're meditating on the New York of the past. Plus: the couch surfing years, sweet car chase sequences, "New York Post New York" and good ol' David Foster Wallace's T2 take.
Turner Cody is one of my absolute favorite singer/songwriters working right now and I'm ecstatic to have him on the show. His new album, along with The Soldiers of Love, is called "Friends In High Places" and comes out this June. If you've never sat down with his discography before what are you even doing? He's right there on Spotify

This week we TRIPLE DOWN on the nostalgia as I present a rare Pre-COVID episode I recorded over a few beers with my old pal Travis Tips, as we discuss the franchise-less / non-Oscar-bait films in good ol' JC's filmography. Plus: Travis shares a riveting tale of working under the legendary Roger Corman! Stay safe out there, everyone!

This week: Film critic for The Baffler and author of The Earth Dies Streaming: Film Writing, 2002-2018, A. S. Hamrah joins me to talk about his book as well as films that tackle quagmires, enduring this last year and by the end we begin to explore if a film critic played a role in American music history.
A.S. Hamrah is one of the most important voices in film criticism today and the subjects we're tackling are things that have been weighing on my mind heavily this past year. I'm very excited to share this discussion with you all. Excuse some inelegant audio transitions at the beginning because the episode is very strong. Be safe. Take care.

This week: EVERYTHING HAPPENS ALL AT ONCE
I reached out to Dozzyrok, one of the most vibrant voices on Letterboxd, to discuss Maximalism in film; what we think it is and isn't. We also talk about Youtube Poops, listening to Infinite Jest and how bad I am at self promoting. By the end of the episode maybe you'll finally get the meaning of Synechdoce, NY's climactic scene!

This week: We’re talking body swapping with Paul Mizzi of The Swapcast Podcast! Body swapping is the little trope that could, we talk about how prevalent it’s been in movies, what makes them effective, and talk Sarah Michelle Gellar just a bit. 
FILMS DISCUSSED: Freaky Friday (2003), The Hot Chick (2002), Hearts and Souls (1993), and Your Name (2016)
Be sure to rate and review The Swapcast Podcast so they can get to 100 reviews and finally do an episode on Face/Off. Also they have way better audio quality then I do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
