The first season of Cinema Span is about one thing and one thing only: the films of 2007. We’re doing all of it, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly! (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly will not be covered because it’s from 1966.)

    "3:10 to Yuma" & "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" w/ Daniel King and Quinn Shields

    Ah, to be an outlaw in the wild west. Got nothing but a crew to back you up. Like really nothing. As one my favorite criminals Neil McCauley once said, "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner." They were living this life. These guys slept outside and had like one outfit. No wonder they were desperate for some cash. Crazy that capitalism was what got them all in the end. I'm pretty sure that's the main point of both of these films, "The Assassinations of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" (written and directed by Andrew Dominik) as well as James' Mangolds remake of the 1957 classic, "3:10 to Yuma". And Heat too (not Heat 2) for that matter.   Joining the conversation this week are Daniel King (@dkingbooksla), author of "An Eye for Killing" and "Table Scraps" as well as Quinn Shields (@quinnshields) of The Fools Journey Podcast (@thefoolsjourneypod).   (0:00) Intro (7:15) The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (1:00:38) 3:10 to Yuma

    ”Grindhouse” with Patrick Cotnoir

    Welcome to the Grindhouse!! We're covering THE seminal 2007 double feature: Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror and Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. But wait, there's more! Fictional trailers by real directors, like Edgar Wright's "Don't!", Rob Zombie's "Werewolf Women of the SS", and Eli Roth's "Thanksgiving" (now a major motion picture!)   Joining the podcast this week is Patrick Cotnoir (@cotnoir), producer of The George Lucas Talk Show and talent booker for Asssscat at UCB Franklin.   (0:00) Intro (1:01) Planet Terror (46:15) Grindhouse Trailers (50:50) Death Proof

    ”Halloween” and ”Funny Games” with PJ Volk and Ben Hrycak

    Happy Halloween! We're celebrating 2007 with Rob Zombie's reimagining of John Carpenter's classic, Halloween. And if you thought Zombie's take was disturbing, just wait until you see Michael Haneke's remake of his own 1997 film Funny Games. Master of horror PJ Volk (@pjmas) helps us look into the eyes of a psychopath, while Ben Hrycak (@goodfellaben) of The Fools Journey Podcast reminds us that if your dad is badass enough, you can make it through any horror film. Intro (0:00) Halloween (2:18) Funny Games (50:13)   Follow Cinema Span on Instagram, Twitter, and Letterboxd. The video edition of this episode is available on our YouTube channel.

    ”Sunshine” and ”The Mist” with the Critericast (AJ Bouland and Gabe Pardekooper)

    "DAAH Mist." (Man it's getting hard to write these.) This week we're diving into a science-fiction/horror double feature: Danny Boyle's box office bomb about bombing the sun, Sunshine, and The Mist, another Steven King adaptation by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile).  Taking a step away from covering the prestigious catalogue of art house films are the hosts of CriteriCast (@critericast)! Humanity's last hope AJ Bouland (@ehjaybooland) and creature from The Mist Gabe Pardekooper (@gpardekooper) help Louis brave the unknown horrors of this double feature...

    ”Mr. Brooks” and ”Believers” with Averick Faeth

    Averick Faeth (@aveorrick) crashes the podcast with a direct-to-video movie he dug up at a gas station DVD Bargain Bin called "Believers", which is about an end of the world death cult. Directed by Daniel Myrack of The Blair Witch Project fame. Louis managed to dig up another film that feels like it doesn't exist called "Mr. Brooks" staring Kevin Costner as a serial killer, William Hurt as Costner's alter ego, Dane Cook as a wannabe aspiring serial killer, and Demi Moore as the homicide detective worth $60M trying to take it all down while going through a divorce. It's as baffling as it sounds.   Follow Cinema Span on Instagram, Twitter, and Letterboxd. The video edition of this episode is available on our YouTube channel.

    ”Hot Fuzz” and ”Hot Rod” with Robyn Beck and Sam Pinnelas

    Summer may be over, but we're bringing the heat!! It's a hot damn double. And damn do we have some hotties to chill out with on this episode. Sam Pinnelas (@pinnelas), producer at Too Lemon Productions (@toolemonofficial) joins the podcast with writer and professional nerd Robyn Beck (@robeanburrito19) to talk about two of the hottest comedies to come out of the USA & the UK in 2007.  Did you know that there were Americans in test screenings who were confused by the title "Hot Fuzz" because they mistakenly thought 'Fuzz' was a British term? Even Criss Angel knew that one...   Intro (0:00) Hot Fuzz (1:28) Hot Rod (47:17) Follow Cinema Span on Instagram, Twitter, and Letterboxd.
