    LARS VON TRIER #4: THE GANG SELLS THE COMPANY, "THE BOSS OF IT ALL"

    Send us a text BOSS OF IT ALL (2006) Well, as the famous playwright Antonio Gambini once wrote: All good things (and Season 13 of TGTPTU) must come to a close. And what better stage for which our four hosts to give their final thoughts and review of the four directors covered this 4x4 season, as well as their general opinions of Lars von Trier, than with LvT’s office comedy THE BOSS OF IT ALL (2006)? (Sorry, we can’t hear you response. This isn’t a radio show, and you’re not live on the air a...

    LARS VON TRIER #3: NATURE SPURTS WITH "ANTICHRIST"

    Send us a text 4X4: Lars von Trier #3 Breaking our own arbitrary rules just like Lars von Trier, the enfant terrible final director of Season 13’s 4x4, the TGTPTU crew for our final pairing breaks with release date order to review the later paired film earlier, giving you this week ANTICHRIST (2009). From the throes of depression, LVT emerged to sink the world into his vision of grief, anxiety, and madness with the horror story of a couple (played by Willem Dafoe and Cha...

    LARS VON TRIER #2: GETTING FUZZY WITH DANCER IN THE DARK

    Send us a text DANCER IN THE DARK (2000) Broadcasting live from 1964, and entirely in song, this week’s very special episode of TGTPTU covers Lars von Trier’s sixth film (but only our second of his covered this 4x4): DANCER IN THE DARK (2000). It’s been over a hundred episodes, since Season 1’s Paint Yer Hereafter ep during our Clint Eastwood coverage, that TGTPTU has covered a musical. Dancer in the Dark, the third entry into Lars von Trier’s Golden Heart trilogy, follows LVT’s preced...

    4X4: LARS VON TRIER #1: GET WET

    Send us a text ELEMENT Welcome to a new year and a new director as TGTPTU’s latest 4x4 reaches its fourth of four directors: Lars Von Trier. We start with his first wide-release feature THE ELEMENT OF CRIME (1984). And so begins our wrap-up of Season 13 with water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink… Set in a post-catastrophe Europe (as will the Dane’s next two films forming his first thematic trilogy: Europa), The Element of Crime follows the memories under hypnotism of a...

    MERRY CLINTMAS! JUROR #2 AND 2024 WRAP-UP

    Send us a text JUROR #2 It’s late-December and, foregoing our usual Christmas-adjacent movie watch, this year TGTPTU has a very special treat for the holidays. That’s right, listener, we bring to you our hot takes on what may prove to be Clint Eastwood’s final film--and even more likely his final theatrically-released film--JUROR #2 (2024) in time for its MAX streaming release so that you might celebrate with us and have yourself a very Merry Clint-mas. Eastwood’s latest film with Warner ...

    BIG WILLIE #4: THE COLLECTOR (OR HOW ELON AND GRIMES MET)

    Send us a text 4X4X3: WILLIAM WYLER CONCLUSION: THE COLLECTOR TGTPTU wraps its third director of Season 13’s 4x4 with a discussion of a fourth and final William Wyler film THE COLLECTOR (1965). Like The Big Country, its paired film from last week, The Collector began as a book, this one penned by John Fowles, author whose adapted novel The French Lieutenant’s Woman was covered by TGTPTU during our Meryl Streep season. The Collector was Fowles’ first published book, and Wyler took liberties...

    BIG WILLIE #3: THE BIG COUNTRY

    Send us a text 4X4: WILLIAM WYLER. #3: THE BIG COUNTRY (Note: Don't skip the theme song this week) TGTPTU Host Ryan’s Willie gets a glow-up with THE BIG COUNTRY (1958), the third in our cultivated William Wyler collection. Shot in glorious Technicolor on large-format Technorama to set it apart from the glut of midcentury black-and-white television Westerns, the big-budget film was not a financial success despite winning one, after being nominated for two, Academy Awards and starring at the ...
