    100 Episodes Later: What Makes a Movie a Favorite?

    100 (YouTube) episodes in, we're doing something surprisingly tough: choosing and watching our favorite movies.Jacob chose The Big Lebowski, Kieran chose North by Northwest, and Sam chose A Matter of Life and Death; three totally different classics that have all earned lifetime rewatch status for very different reasons.This isn't an argument over which is best, it's a dicussion of what makes a favorite from craft, comfort, timing, identity, and the weird personal mythology that makes a movie stick.Read us here: https://secondcutpod.substack.com/Follow us everywhere @SecondCutPodMusic:Awakening (Instrumental) by Wataboi https://soundcloud.com/wataboiCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0Music promoted by FDL Music https://youtu.be/X2oQNUOmk2k

    Steven Seagal: The Rise, the Lie, and the Collapse

    Steven Seagal was once positioned as a major action star, how did that image form, and why did it collapse so completely? In this episode, we break down Steven Seagal’s career by focusing on three films that define his arc: Under Siege as the commercial peak, On Deadly Ground as the ego-driven turning point, and End of a Gun as the late-career endpoint. By putting these movies side by side, we examine how Seagal’s on-screen persona was constructed, why it never held up to scrutiny, and how the myth outlived the movies themselves. This discussion looks beyond individual scenes or performances and instead traces the broader cultural perception of Steven Seagal; his exaggerated backstory, his creative control, and the widening gap between reputation and reality. Audio-only cut of our full Steven Seagal episode.
