When Dreary Met Shabby: Love Story (1970)

The time has come to wish a hearty Happy Birthday to Alana! We said she could choose any movie she wanted to talk about and out of all the wonderful New Hollywood classics, she chose this one. Love Story itself might be astoundingly mid, but this discussion we had about it was a rollicking good time! More than half of the episode gets spent just gabbing about the our favorite classic film romances, as well as what it even means to be “romantic”. Topics include: Instagram, Erich Segal’s allege...

Ah, Theatre! - The Iceman Cometh (1973)

Join us in celebrating Sam’s birthday with this special episode on the John Frankenheimer film version of Eugene O’Neill’s play The Iceman Cometh. The hosts dig in to the unusual experiment in cinematic stage plays that birthed this project. You might think a four-hour-long play about alcoholism and despair sounds like a weird birthday present to give oneself but this discussion actually turned out to be rather charming and fun. Happy Birthday Sam! Topics include: Jason Robards vs. Lee Marvin...

Ballad of a Tall Man: Phantasm (1979)

The scares continue all through Halloween over here at KYI! The hosts, and their guest Levi Butner, wander the graveyards and get stuck in the muck as they discuss Don Coscarelli’s cult classic Phantasm. The obvious connections to Spielberg and Raimi are noted, as are the film’s roots in the Universal Monster tradition. Join us as we celebrate this massive achievement in low-budget filmmaking. Just watch out for the Tall Man, that motha’s stronggg! Topics include: actors watching their own wo...

Thrills. Chills. Catskills: Young Frankenstein (1974)

Horror comedy comes to life this episode with the Mel Brooks classic Young Frankenstein. This might be the first movie we’ve covered that almost everyone we’ve ever met has undoubtedly seen! The gags remain evergreen, but this watch through the hosts were primarily impressed by the beautiful filmmaking and imaginative storytelling on display. The writing, cinematography, performances, music, and direction are all the stuffs of geniuses working at the top of their game. The effect is almost sy...

8 1/2 x 4: Fellini & Mazursky & Fosse & Allen

This is a big one, folks. Alana and Sam take a deep dive into cinematic meta-fiction as they explore the relationship between the seminal film 8 1/2 (1963) and its three most prominent New Hollywood descendants: Alex in Wonderland (1970), All That Jazz (1979), and Stardust Memories (1980). We approached this project with the seriousness and rigor we feel it deserves which apparently to us means making you listen to us talk for nearly four hours! Topics include: the 1976 Tonys, acting teachers...

Xenophilia: Alien (1979)

Alana and Sam search for the familiar within the unknown as they immerse themselves in the world of Ridley Scott’s genre-defining classic Alien. They ruminate on the disturbing picture it paints of space and the cycles of nature and remark upon the hilarious improv skills of Yaphet Kotto. They also find time to touch on the recently released Alien: Romulus so that they can, you know, hitch onto the crass bandwagon of nostalgia along with everyone else. Topics include: I, Claudius, exploitativ...

Book Report: Easy Riders, Raging Bulls

Put on your spectacles, nerds! We’re talking some long-form PROSE in this episode. Our subject today is Peter Biskind’s Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How the Sex-Drugs-and-Rock 'N' Roll Generation Saved Hollywood. That’s right, not a MOVIE like we typically feature on this podcast, but a BOOK instead. We aim to give you a tour through the thrilling yet crass world Biskind maps out in this book and also take time check in with ourselves as to our general impressions of the Movie Brats. Topics inc...

Jesus Egg-cetera: Cool Hand Luke (1967)

Ohohoho it’s getting sweaty over here! On this episode we are joined by Ryan and Katie from The List to chat about Cool Hand Luke. Perhaps the defining prison film of the New Hollywood era, Paul Newman’s megawatt star power is put to perfect use as the ultimate lovable loser. We had a ball making the episode and what emerged was more or less a complete exegesis on this multifaceted Christian allegory. Except, you know, funny. Topics include: podcasting while married, slang words in West Side ...

Ain’t Life Grand

If you were lucky enough to grow up on 60s cinema, or if you want to learn what made the era stand out, this podcast is for you. Quick witted cinephile millennials Sam and Alana in just four episodes demonstrate a depth and breadth of film knowledge that seriously impresses this aging boomer. I can’t wait to hear Alana’s perspective on Altman and Peckinpah given their often disturbing depiction of women, and Sam’s take on individual films—Bonnie and Clyde, 2001, Midnight Cowboy, McCabe and Mrs. Miller. And I hope they discuss their podcast’s namesake Pauline Kael, who owned the conversation back then.
