    Denis Villenueve: Enemy

    This week on Filmography Club we continue our discussions on Denis Villeneuve’s body of English language works by looking at the 2013 psychological mystery / thriller / journey into the surreal, Enemy. The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Mélanie Laurent and Sarah Gadon, with a screenplay by Javier Gullón based on the José Saramago novel, The Double. We’re joined by media prophet Jason Shawhan (@jshawhan on Twitter), whom spent eleven years as the local film critic for Gannett (Nashville Rage/All The Rage/Metromix/The Tennessean) and currently contributes to The Nashville Scene and The AV Club. He was the founder of the Nashville Cinema Underground and often hosts the Midnight Movie series at The Belcourt Theatre. A graduate of NYU (Literature/Critical Theory/Cinema Studies) and Watkins Film School (Cinematography), his criticism and writing have also appeared in Dish Magazine, In Review, The Film Journal, Opposable Thumb Films, and about.com. His art and photography have been exhibited at The St. Markâ€s Position Gallery and The Barney Building in New York City, The Rule of Thirds Gallery and the Belcourt Gallery in Nashville, and online at IFC.com. He has also been photo elf for Crispin Glover and offers a deep archive of musical mixes as DJ Nomi. We dive right into plot and spoilers so if you haven’t watched Enemy yet, do so now.

    Our Favorite Movies: Bride of Frankenstein with Mykki Newton [Rebroadcast]

    Rebroadcast: Film historian and friend of the show Mykki Newton recently passed away. In memoriam, we are rebroadcasting Jason’s conversation with her from our July 7th, 2020 episode; a lively discussion about the James Whale classic Bride of Frankenstein. Jason shares his reflections on Mykki and her contagious enthusiasm for classic cinema. We thought we’d repost this episode in the hope that her friends that missed this the first time around can hear Mykki doing what she loved, talking classic Hollywood. We recommend taking some time to read through Mykki’s phenomenal blog Mykki Newton and Classic Movie History, as well as partaking in a viewing of Voodoo Child: Memories of a Freak, a documentary about Newton’s fascinating life. My guest today is Mykki Newton. Mykki is a film historian and writer. She is also an award-winning broadcast journalist and documentary filmmaker with more than 40 years of experience in journalism and acting. She is a former television news anchor, reporter, entertainment correspondent and film critic. She studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York, NY. and appeared in several feature films, television shows and on-stage. Mykki Newton is currently a producer/videographer/editor at The University of Mississippiâ€s School of Journalism and New Media. She researches and writes extensively about classic cinema on her very readable blog Mykki Newton and Classic Movie History. Follow Filmography Club on Instagram @filmography_club_podcast.
