    Do I Have To Come Right Out And Say It

    Since Pan's Labyrinth was deemed to be the 39th movie Terry would watch this year, he decided to focus on foreign films for this episode. Just over half of these titles can be streamed on the Criterion Channel. Also discussed are the last couple of films he saw on the big screen including Portrait of a Lady on Fire (now streaming on Hulu). Terry also suggests a starter film for non-fans of foreign films as well as the film that Terry thinks is one of the best horror films of the new century. A certain Friday the 13th experiment is also discussed and much more.

    Greatness Yet To Come

    Continuing the format of the last episode, Terry reviews the first fourteen movies he saw during February 2020.  This batch is a little heavier on revisiting movies especially as Valentine's Day approached.  However, genre-twisted romances were on order as the day got closer.  For streaming fans, Terry visits the Criterion Channel and Shudder for some of his picks.  This included a couple of episodes of Joe Bob Briggs' Last Drive-In which Terry had been missing for a little while.  Also featured is a bit of overselling of a Hal Hartley favorite (aren't they all) as well as what happens when childhood joy turns into adult indifference.  Hopefully, there are some good suggestions in here for everyone.  There is no need to tease the next episode here as the end of the episode makes it crystal clear.

    39

    In an effort to back the podcast, Terry is discussing the movies that he watched during the month of January.  This is also going to serve the request of a co-worker who wishes that Terry would watch a particular film.  That film, mentioned in this episode, will be the 39th movie that Terry watches this year. As Grindhouse Video and Vinegar Syndrome had big sales back in November, they heavily influence the list discussed here.  It does feature some Arrow releases as a film from Hal Hartley.  Naturally, some tangents ensue. As the episode progress, the films discussed are increasingly adult in nature so please understand this isn't suitable for all audiences even if the language is kept relatively clean.  As explained in the episode, adult titles won't be off limits in this or future discussions on the podcast. Finally, more can be found on Facebook (The Flickering Waves Podcast group page), Twitter (@flickeringwaves) and on YouTube (through Flickering Waves playlists).  Please also rate and comment on Apple Podcasts.  One can also send a e-mail to flickeringwaves@gmail.com

    Walking To New Orleans

    The heart of this episode is a discussion of Jim Jarmusch's third film, Down By Law.  Released in 1986, its stars much like their characters in the movie have taken unique paths since this film. Some have stayed together while others have gone their separate ways.  Terry tries to discuss this and probably too much else in this episode.  Included in this episode is a discussion on I-4 (recorded while on I-4) and personal tales of New Orleans (the setting of this episode's film.  This is the first leg of the Pod Road Trip or PRT.  This leg takes us from Polk County, FL to New Orleans, LA.  By the end of the trip, the discussions of films and albums will take us to Los Angeles after which the theme will change but the journeys are expected to continue. Please follow us on Twitter (@flickeringwaves) and become a member of the Facebook group (search "The Flickering Waves Podcast").  For further exploration of the topics discussed on this episode, there is YouTube channel and episode playlist (search "Flickering Waves").

    Let's Go Away For Awhile

    The return of the podcast after a lengthy time away brings the listener a review of the year that was and the year ahead in both movies and music.  Naturally, this is shot through Terry's favorites from both.  In both cases, Terry even gets fanciful about possible but unlikely returns (at least this year) from several artists in film and music.  If Episode 28 and the rest of the Road Trip episodes are the journey then this episode is the lengthy process of packing all the bags before the trip.  Besides it is great to know where one is coming from before worrying about getting somewhere new.  If you are enjoying the podcast then tell a friend or post on Facebook and/or Twitter.

    Episode 26 - Got To Get Better In A Little While

    Terry found himself revisiting the catalogue of Eric Clapton back in April.  Once he heard that tour dates were getting rescheduled due to illness, it seemed like a good time to share a list of some of the deeper cuts before they could possibly become part of a posthumous tribute to the guitar great. Before that Terry goes into a mostly fun explanation of why the podcast has been away.  Then the close explores where the next twelve episodes are going to go (hope everyone like a road trip, not literal - of course).  And while it is not intended to be away again for two months, due to some personal affairs, the return of the podcast for Episode 27 is uncertain at this time. Please follow us on Facebook (The Flickering Waves Podcast) and Twitter (@flickeringwaves) for updates.  The YouTube playlist of the ten Clapton songs is up on YouTube along with playlists related to some of the other episodes of the podcast.  Please rate and review the podcast on iTunes and drop us a line at flickeringwaves@gmail.com  Thanks as always for listening.

    Episode 25 - Low Budget

    This is a mad dash of a week for the podcast.  If all goes to plan, this is the first of three episodes in the days leading up to Record Store Day 2017.  This installment deals with seven records that Terry bought over the years that were infinitely better than the low, low prices paid for them would suggest (not free, just cheap).  Some of these have even become essential recordings in his collection.  Terry reflects on one of his favorite radio stations as well as some of the places where he bought these records.  Sometimes one cheap record can someone a fan for life.  And of course there are tangents, planned and otherwise. There is a YouTube playlist available that highlights a pick from each of these albums.  However, once there, it should be easy and surprisingly legit to explore the rest of these albums for additional enjoyment. One can also e-mail the podcast at flickeringwaves@gmail.com And also there is a Facebook group and Twitter feed for the podcast.  And after listening one is wondering, yes I did manage to talk for more than an hour non-stop and I don't get it either.  Episodes 26 & 27 should post by next Saturday.

    Episode 24 - Hey Nineteen

    This episode features an unique discussion of the 1998 film Next Stop Wonderland starring Hope Davis and directed by Brad Anderson.  As we are one year from the 20th anniversary of the film, Terry didn't want to do a regular breakdown of the film.  There are likely spoilers in this episode but one hopes that the discussion will encourage watching or re-watching one of Terry's favorite films of 1990s. So in this discussion, Terry explores some history with some of the actors in the film as well as his own personal history of watching the film.  Also, Terry speaks about his fascination with the soundtrack and bossa nova in general.  Towards the end, there are a couple of film recommendations as well as a slice of Terry's creative thought surrounding what he wanted in the third segment of Before series (which would be named Before Midnight). All of this and more is framed around a nod to a recurring moment in Next Stop Wonderland.  To do this, Terry used a few randomly selected words from Anna Kendrick's Scrappy Little Nobody.  Like most random things, there were some good outcomes and some not-so-good outcomes.  Think of it as one more layer in a podcast lasagna that is trying to bubble over in the pan. Please check the Facebook group (The Flickering Waves Podcast) as well as Twitter (@flickeringwaves).  Or go "old school" in internet interaction and drop the podcast a line at flickeringwaves@gmail.com
