    Episode 389: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FABULOUS STAINS (1982)

    Music industry veteran Lou Adler’s second and final directing credit, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FABULOUS STAINS predated the riot grrrl movement by close to a decade. It effectively pioneered the aesthetic behind the feminist punk movement that took off in the 1990s. Three anxious teens (Diane Lane, Laura Dern, and Marin Kanter) form The Stains, taking the stage in scandalizing outfits and outrageous makeup — and carrying a transgressive message to young women seeking self-expression after the era of sexual liberation. The Stains have more spirit than talent, but they’ve got bigger problems. A cast of aging rockers (including real members of The Tubes, The Clash, the Sex Pistols, and more) and competitive upstarts (Ray Winstone as a cockney punk) send The Stains’ leader into a self-interested spiral.

    Episode 388: LINDA LINDA LINDA (2005)

    Four girls in a Japanese school prepare for their performance at the school festival with one sub-in: The Korean exchange student who doesn’t know the songs. The new shape of their group, and the uncertain shape of their lives to come, casts a weird malaise over the days leading up to the show, broken only by their moments of youthful camaraderie. LINDA LINDA LINDA holds a special place in the boys’ hearts — most of them, anyway — as both a wistful reminiscence of teenage abandon and a movie that helped us feel a bit less distant from one another during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, we’re trying to do that awkward thing of breaking through the vice grip of nostalgia to give this cult classic hangout movie a real critical eye. Is the success consistent or varying?

    Episode 387: CISCO PIKE (1971)

    CISCO PIKE was Bill L. Norton’s directorial debut, Kris Kristofferson’s first screen credit, and just another Coked Up Crazy Ass White Boy role for Gene Hackman. A musician turned drug dealer wants to pull a 180 and go back to the music biz after a stint in the pen. But he spent the Summer of Love behind bars, and when he gets out, he finds out the ‘70s ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. Karen Black and Harry Dean Stanton support as his hapless passengers, adjusting in their own ways to the new bummer decade. On this Cody-less episode, we’re discussing crooked cops, cusp-of-the-decade vibes, how we’d sell 200 keys of giggle smoke, and whether or not Tom Hanks is hot.

    Episode 386: SHAUN OF THE DEAD (2004) with Emma Youndtsmith

    We’re thrilled to have Emma Youndtsmith back to discuss a longtime favorite of hers and many millennials’: The movie that made Edgar Wright’s career, SHAUN OF THE DEAD! We discuss the enduring love for this quirky movie, the comfort of regression, our favorite jokes, and our preferred zombie-fighting weapons (Emma’s legitimately surprised me). Then, we’re pitting seemingly random dead celebrities against each other in Cody’s Noteys!

    Episode 385: DRAGNET GIRL (1933)

    Help the Trylon afford a 4K projector! https://trylon.org/4K SURPRISE! We’ve got one more Kinuyo Tanaka movie in the tank, because Cody and Jason weren’t able to get 80s Action Extravaganza tickets this year. With Cody out anyway, we’re covering DRAGNET GIRL, our first silent film directed by Yasujirō Ozu. It has a very, VERY different energy from his better-known works with color and sound (for better and worse). A gangster and his moll enter a sort of love triangle when a scrappy ruffian wants to join the gang — only for the young upstart’s sister to catch the gangster’s eye. What follows on Trylove is a discussion of queer subtext (on which we’re not experts), prewar Japanese social constructs of masculinity (on which we’re not experts), and how cool this movie could be if it was like 35 minutes shorter (we’re kind of experts on that one tbh).

    Episode 384: THE BALLAD OF NARAYAMA (1958)

    Help the Trylon afford a 4K projector! https://trylon.org/4K The Trylon’s series on Kinuyo Tanaka’s acting roles ends with a bang: Keisuke Kinoshita’s THE BALLAD OF NARAYAMA (no, not the 1983 version that won the Palme d’Or). It’s a dire tale: Tanaka plays an old woman on the cusp of 70, at which point she’ll be taken to the top of a mountain to die alone so her village can conserve food. And Bleak Week isn’t even here yet! The story itself is only ALMOST as interesting as how it’s told. A mix of traditional Japanese dramatic styles are filmed with a colorful expressiveness and visual dynamism that seems to undercut the stoic, passionless ritual at its heart. In this Harry-less episode, we discuss the subversive literary origins of this story, the way its cinematography helps you keep time and dread its passing, and the possibility that THE BALLAD OF NARAYAMA is at war with itself. Then, we unwind with a lyrics guessing game based on peak millennial ballads. We also get into it about Werther’s® Originals®. Or is it Werther’s® Original®?

    Episode 383: SANSHO THE BAILIFF (1954)

    Help the Trylon afford a 4K projector! https://trylon.org/4K A governor in 11th century Japan is exiled, and his wife (Kinuyo Tanaka) and two children are sold into slavery. And it only gets crazier from there! The young boy (Yoshiaki Hanayagi) and girl (Kyōko Kagawa) come of age in the service of the local administrator Sanshō (Eitarō Shindō). Disgraced, each member of the shattered family survives unending cruelty with only the belief that good will triumph over evil. Which, as this episode proves, isn’t everybody’s cup of tea. Kenji Mizoguchi’s SANSHO THE BAILIFF is recognized as one of the greatest films of all time, a heartrending narrative of the indomitable human spirit in the face of systemic adversity. It’s kind of like Superman.
