    Episode 156 - Wicked

    In this episode of Missing Frames, Shawn and Sarah FINALLY dive into one of the biggest cultural phenomena in recent memory: Wicked (Part One). Coming in with surprisingly little knowledge of the musical, they explore whether the hype is justified. They unpack the emotional core of Elphaba and Glinda’s relationship, highlight unforgettable song and dance numbers (Jonathan Bailey FTW), and debate whether the decision to split the story into two films ultimately helps or hurts the experience. They also look ahead to Wicked: For Good, trying to make sense of the surprisingly mixed reactions from longtime fans and wondering what could possibly cause such a dramatic shift in reception.

    Episode 155 - High and Low

    In this episode of Missing Frames, John Mills returns to tackle one of Akira Kurosawa’s most acclaimed films: HIGH AND LOW. Along the way, Shawn and John discuss the film’s remarkable cinematography, its influence on filmmakers from David Fincher to Michael Mann, and why Kurosawa’s storytelling still feels strikingly modern more than sixty years later. They also reflect on Kurosawa’s legacy in global cinema, how his work shaped everything from the American Western to Star Wars, and why High and Low deserves to be considered one of the greatest crime films ever made.  HOSTS Shawn Eastridge John Mills

    Episode 153 - Avatar: Fire and Ash

    While heading to the theater for James Cameron’s latest blockbuster, Avatar: Fire and Ash, Shawn and Sarah Eastridge take a look back, reflecting on the original film and The Way of Water.

    Episode 152 - Eyes Wide Shut

    Missing Frames is closing out 2025 with a beloved holiday classic: Stanley Kubrick’s EYES WIDE SHUT. Wait…what? That’s right, we’re declaring once and for all that Eyes Wide Shut IS a Christmas movie. Join Shawn Eastridge and returning guest Richie Pepio as they dive into Stanley Kubrick’s enigmatic final film and discuss how it offers an intriguing and disturbing glimpse into the realm of marriage and long-term relationships. They also examine how Kubrick used Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s star status to manipulate both their performance and the audience and why the film’s initial lackluster response from both audiences and critics was so baffling.

    Celebrating Superman with Jonah Lees

    2025 has been the Year of Superman, and Missing Frames has been celebrating James Gunn’s new film by sitting down with some of the writers, artists, and actors who help make the Man of Steel so special. Past conversations have included comic legends Dan Jurgens, Mark Waid, Tom King, and Phillip Kennedy Johnson, reflections on Richard Donner’s iconic film with Lauren Shuler Donner, and even a chat with Ma Kent herself, Neva Howell. Today’s guest is another incredible talent: Jonah Lees, who appears in Superman as Dean Farr, one of Lex Luthor’s LuthorCorp cronies, alongside his real-life twin brother, Christian. But Jonah’s career extends far beyond Metropolis. A highlight of the conversation is his work with Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke on Blue Moon, as well as his recent portrayal of John Lennon in the Brian Epstein biopic Midas Man. An actor, songwriter, musician, and director, Jonah is a multifaceted creative whose range is as impressive as it is exciting. What begins as a Superman celebration quickly becomes a love letter to many shared passions: Superman, Richard Linklater, and The Beatles.

In this Halloween special, Shawn is joined by John Carpenter aficionados Brad Gullickson and John Mills as he dives headfirst into his first-ever viewing of John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness. The trio unpacks the movie’s eerie brilliance, Sam Neill’s masterful performance, and the meta madness that makes this one of Carpenter’s most underrated masterpieces.  HOSTS Shawn Eastridge Brad Gullickson John Mills

    Celebrating Superman: Honoring the Snyderverse

    Can you love both Zack Snyder’s MAN OF STEEL and James Gunn’s SUPERMAN? While online discourse often paints fans as divided, there are many who appreciate both interpretations of the iconic hero. In this episode of Missing Frames’ Celebrating Superman series, Shawn is joined by fellow Nerd Party members Matthew Rushing and John Mills—two longtime Superman fans who enjoy both Snyder’s and Gunn’s visions of the character. Together, they explore what makes each take so compelling, and why tearing down others for their personal preferences runs counter to everything Superman represents.
