Overworked and underemployed philosophers and cinephiles, Rob and David, discuss movies and philosophy. Part movie club, part philosophy seminar, we're really just in it to watch the flicks we love, and hope you’ll join in.

CinePhils, Take 27: Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel and The Life Aquatic, or “Viewmaster”
Actually it is take 27, we’ve been away for too long. Nostalgia, simplicity, yearning, and a bit of humanity is the cure for cynicism. Also, well constructed cinematic, symmetrical camera work and such.

CinePhils, Take 23: Alex Cox’s Walker and Highway Patrolman, or “¿por qué hablamos tanto tiempo?”
Rob and I forget the time and have a long, wide-ranging discussion of two Alex Cox films, one of which ended his Hollywood career, and the other of which is a great Mexican film albeit filmed by a Brit. Politics, ethics, cops, colonialism, and of course some philosophy too.
