Compare & Contrast: A Scanner Darkly and Radio Free Albemuth
Now, on this podcast we love a bit of Dick, ol' Phil K being a favourite author in this neck of the woods, with some of our favourite films based on his work. We've already discussed Blade Runner and Total Recall, but it's fair to say that these are both only very loosely based on the works that inspire them. We thought we'd take a look at two films rather more adherent to the source material, with Richard Linklater's 2006 adaptation of A Scanner Darkly and 2014's Radio Free Albemuth, directed by John Alan Simon.

Modern Black and White
We're all used to the Technicolor realities of modern cinema by this point, but there's still more than a few examples where, either by economic necessity or stylistic preference, it's monochrome in the multiplex. Today we're looking at some notable examples, namely Pi, The Good German, Good Night and Good Luck, Schindler's List, The Mist, The Man Who Wasn't There, and La Haine.

Compare & Contrast: The Illusionist and The Prestige
We're looking at The Prestige and The Illusionist this month, two films with fairly similar high level plots but very different executions as they explore rivalry, love, and obsession through the world of illusion. And we don't mean the old Megadrive game. See the full show notes at http://www.fudsonfilm.com/illusionist-prestige/

Customer Reviews
Solid film review podcast
If the guys from Half In The Bag ever made a podcast (and were Scottish), it would sound like this. The hosts are very knowledgeable about film history and are clearly enthusiastic about the medium. A definite recommendation for movie-goers everywhere.
Lame
Ignorant comments. They do not know what they are talking about.
David Lynch Episode is Abysmal
I have 2 major criticisms of this episode that were so drastic for me that I couldn’t bring myself to listen to another installment.
1. It is not wise to dedicate an episode to a film director but not watch all of his work. Particularly with someone like Lynch, it is impossible to grasp the breadth of meaning behind his work if it hasn’t been entirely viewed.
2. They also left out where he’s more of a painter who happens to direct films and not just a film director. He’s an artist who operates on nearly every facet of art creation and films just happen to be one of them. I’m fact, he has been primarily doing painting, music, and furniture design for the past decade and a half The abstract ideas and his refusal to elaborate on most of them with regard to interpretation becomes more understandable- he is a post-modern surrealist who often operates in the abstract mood. Lynch is not everyone’s cup of tea and that is fine, but don’t pretend to understand or just write off what he does as objectively bad. I thought that was an arrogant, ignorant road to take. I turned it off when they said they had only seen two episodes of Twin Peaks. I can’t take this podcast seriously and I’ll never listen to it again.
