Mosey on down with us as we educate ourselves with the classic piece of cinema, Butch Cassidey and The Sundance Kid, by way of Tarantino’s modern cowboy flick, Django Unchained. Very familiar with westerns? Well, forgive us as we navigate this beloved genre by watching the movie that is often sighted as being the start of the modern western (Butch Cassidy), and a Tarantino fan favourite.

    Babylon and Singin' in the Rain: To Live and Breathe for the Movies!

    Ladies, Gentlemen and everyone in between welcome to an episode with state of the art technology- a moving picture! (we have a filmed episode up on youtube). Singin' in the Rain and Babylon both track the transition in the film industry from the silent films to the talkies. For Don Lockwood, lead of The classic musical, its a breeze except for his squawking co-star Lena whom he has attached at the hip. From Damien Chazzelle's perspective, it went down a little differently. For Manny Torres, it throws his and his fellow artists lives upside down, as they are forced to change with the times in an industry that does not value them. Join us- Margaret and Emily- They Talk!

    The Social Network and Rashamon: The Unreliable Narrator

    For our first episode, we take a dive into complex narrative structure and unreliable narrators with David Fincher's The Social Network (2010) and Akira Kurosawa's Rashamon (1950). The Social Network is a personal favourite of ours and when we heard that it had a lot in common with a classic Kurosawa film that neither of us were familiar with, we were intrigued. But will they make a good double feature? Let's find out.
