    Ep 004 - De Palma's Carrie (1976) | CINEMA RETRO

    For this Halloween edition of the Cinema Retro Podcast, Jake, Miles, and Isabelle turn their attention to Brian De Palma’s Carrie—a defining work of American horror and a study in adolescent rage, repression, and spectacle. Together, we trace the film’s visual language, its complex portrayal of female adolescence, and its enduring influence on the genre. We also discuss a few recent viewings and revisit some of our favorite horror films—connecting threads across decades of cinematic fear and fascination. Join us for our first Cinematic Séance Session, and return with us to the most terrifying setting of all: high school.

    Ep 003 - Antonioni's Blow Up (1966) | CINEMA RETRO

    In this episode of the Cinema Retro Podcast, we delve into Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film, 'Blow Up'. Through analysis of the film's plot, character dynamics, and cultural significance within the context of 1960s cinema, we explore the films' emotional detachment, cultural critique, audience reception, and relationship to modern art leaving some of our hosts to (controversially) believe, "this film is more interesting to talk about than to watch."
