Telling the history of film year by year starting in 1924. We curate and dissect 2 emblematic films every other week - with unwieldy mini episodes in between.

  1. Minisode 18: Ken Russell

    Minisode 18: Ken Russell

    This week we are breaking down a LEGEND. Ken Russell gave us so much... musical, debauchery, camp, skewering of the status quo. We chose three very different films to dissect: The Boy Friend (1971), The Devils (1971) and Whore (1991). These films were tough to find for some years but now loads of Ken Russell are streaming on Criterion. Get into them. ...

    Minisode 17: Gregg Araki Teenage Apocalypse

    This week we are ruminating about teen angst and catastrophe as seen thru the thoughtful lens of Gregg Araki. Take a treacherous walk thru his Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy with us: Totally F***ed Up (1993), The Doom Generation (1995), Nowhere (1997). It's gonna be lonely. But it'll look cool. ...

  4. Minisode 16: Mamie Van Doren & 1950s Teen Flicks

    23-02-2023

    Minisode 16: Mamie Van Doren & 1950s Teen Flicks

    This week we are getting into the filmography of one of the so-called Three M’s of the 1950s (along with Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield). Mamie ended up firmly in the teen delinquent lane, playing rock n roll rebel babes (to great effect). We had a lot of fun watching Untamed Youth (1957), High School Confidential (1958), Guns, Girls, and Gangsters and Girls Town (1959). And of course we get into all that factored into the teen exploitation film explosion of the 1950s. You can watch all the Mamie movies we watched on YouTube for free.

    Minisode 15: Night Flight

    This week we are together on Paul’s couch talking about Night Flight! Specifically we are talking over the epic Night Flight episode “’Take Off’ To Women In Rock II”. Tina Turner, Sheila E., The Pointer Sisters, Madonna, Wendy O. Williams… it rules. And we are big fans of Night Flight in general.

    Minisode 13: David Fincher Music Videos

    Before directing big-time feature films like ALIEN³ (1992), Se7en (1995), Fight Club (1999), Panic Room (2002), Zodiac (2007), The Social Network (2010) and Mank (2020), David Fincher was a music video director, working with mega-watt stars like Madonna, George Michael, Jody Watley and Paula Abdul.  Paul curated a list of his favorite Fincher vids that you can watch here. And we talk over them a la Mystery Science Theater 3000 because we were together IRL in Tucson, Arizona this week. At the end of the episode we talk about what we are watching, including Niagara (1953), The Misfits (1961), Cabaret (1972), 3 Women (1977) and Minari (2020).

  8. Minisode 12: Scarfaces

    25-08-2022

    Minisode 12: Scarfaces

    We had to sneak a pre-code American gangster film in here at the mid-season break for the 1930s. So we did the classic 1932 SCARFACE, directed by Howard Hawks and produced by Howard Hughes. And we compare it to the 1983 iconic remake by Brian De Palma with Al Pacino. We are into this format. We hope you like it too. Later we talk Across 110th Street (1972) and The Last Movie Stars (2022). Instagram: @release_pod Website: release.pictures Music by René j Núñez
