    Episode 7: TOO LATE BLUES (1961) and A CHILD IS WAITING (1963)

    Welcome back at long last to Love Streams: The John Cassavetes Podcast! This is the part where your hosts, Allison and John, slink back into your lives with their tails between their legs. We're sorry, Listenership! After a sudden hiatus, we're back to unpacking the movies of American filmmaker, John Cassavetes, one episode at a time. Since this episode is way too late, perhaps it's appropriate that we're talking about Too Late Blues (1961) and A Child is Waiting (1963). Join us as we dive into Cassavetes' early studio films, which are seriously way more interesting than most people think. Highlights of this episode include: even more doofy music, the revelatory nature of stage performance, anecdotes about Seymour Cassel hanging out with Judy Garland, ambiguous loserdom, that one time when John Cassavetes did or did not punch Stanley Kramer, codependency, silly toasts, gross cocktails, The Guttermen, and the awesome yet underappreciated performances by Val Avery and Marilyn Clark. Thanks for hanging in there, Listenership. We're sorry for leaving you in the lurch, and we promise not to do it again. Up  next: Minnie and Moskovitz, a love story for the ages! Recorded at Longmont Public Media in Longmont, Colorado. LPM rules! We couldn't do Love Streams without this amazing community resource.  Want to contact these goofball hosts?

    Episode 6: SHADOWS (1959)

    Welcome back to "Love Streams: The John Cassavetes Podcast," a show in which a filmmaker and a film studies scholar (who just happened to be married to each other) unpack the movies directed by American director, John Cassavetes. In this episode, Allison and John unpack Cassavetes' directorial debut, "Shadows" (1959), and dear sweet God, do they talk about a whole heck of a lot! Episode highlights include: the secret longings of the Cassavetes Man; jazz; a perhaps-too-long discussion of experimental cinema; Ray Carney's very hot take on 1950s television; a fun anecdote about how Cassavetes inspired (and also perhaps reviled) the Beats; more jazz; unpacking Cassavetes' own interpretation of "Shadows" (which is slippery as always); activities that are supposed to be sexy but are actually extremely boring; and an extremely long discussion of race. Seriously, there's so much packed into this episode, so take a seat on your most comfortable couch, pull out a Costco-size box of Ritz Crackers and a Costco-size bag of Babybel cheese wheels (this pairing may or may not be what Allison ate for few days while editing), and enjoy this episode!

In this episode, Allison and John dive deep into Cassavetes' 1968 masterpiece, Faces, and boy-oh-boy, is there a lot to discuss! Highlights include: the Red Meat song; Allison's explanation of why she doesn't care much for Easter Eggs (spoiler alert: she sounds like a bit of a jerk); John's pontifications about Cassavetes as a finance filmmaker; venerations of Dorothy Gulliver; how freedom becomes a form of control; how control becomes a form of freedom; even more Diet Pepsi (God help us); the role of real estate in filmmaking; feeling disappointed in your kids; Army shoes; marketing jargon; how capitalism infects your love life; reasons why you should never let yourself run out of cigarettes; and so much more.

    Episode 3: HUSBANDS (1970)

    In Episode 2 of "Love Streams," Allison and John, a filmmaker and a film studies scholar who are annoyingly married to each other, dive into an incredibly long conversation about Cassavetes' 1970 film, Husbands. Join them as they discuss production history, academic interpretations, how the script was written, vomit, sports, masculinity, (in)appropriate social behavior, grief, strategies for duping distributors, noise, the post-production process, an abusive singing contest, more vomit, and the influence that Husbands has had on subsequent films. Plus, stick around for a very special BONUS QUIZ in which we determine which of the Husbands our co-host, John, really is. What's your guess? Is he an Archie? Or, is he a Gus? Or, God forbid, is he a Harry?! Honestly, this is probably going to be the next great Buzzfeed quiz, and you'll definitely want to be in on it.
