Schradercast: Dog Eat Dog and First Reformed

The Schradercast has walked some interesting ground in its previous 9 episodes, but this time Blaize and Jason have hit the most interesting ground so far, with two diametrically opposite films which provide a fascinating contrast for each other. First, Dog Eat Dog a hyperkinetic nihilistic Nic Cage/Willem Dafoe crime thriller. Next, First Reformed, a highly considered and deeply fascinating Ethan Hawke/Amanda Seyfred journey into the complex darkness of one man's soul. Whatever the mismatched nature is of these films, the resulting discussion ends up being one of the most intense and often moving conversations we've ever done on Jason and the Movienauts. We hope you enjoy it too.

Teshigahara: The Face of Another and Ako

Eric is back as he and Jason continue their look at the films of the Japanese master Teshigahara. This time, the lovely and lyrical Ako and the deeply complex The Face of Another. The guys really wrestle with Face and come out of the film with more questions than they went in with, but that kind of suits the film!

Lynchcast: Twin Peaks the Return Episodes 4, 5 and 6

Shawn and Paul are back to continue our look into the void - or, at least, into the Black Lodge, as we continue our look at Twin Peaks the Return. This time the guys are looking into episodes 4, 5 and 6 and debating when to get tired of Dougie, how frightening EvilCoop feels, and what is Twin Peaks when most of the show doesn't take place in that small town? Oh, and much, much more...

Shawn and Paul are back for the latest blockbuster look at the films and TV shows of David Lynch. This time the guys start their bite of the biggest apple of Lynch's career as they start their review of Twin Peaks: the Return, covering episodes 1, 2 and 3. The guys discuss subverted expectations, meandering plot, and visual and audio brilliance.

Teshigahara-cast: Pitfall and Woman in the Dunes

Eric is back and this time he and Jason are starting their looks at the brilliant, mysterious fictional films of Hiroshi Teshigahara. This time they look at his first full-length features, Pitfall and Woman in the Dunes, two of the more fascinating films of any time period but especially the 1960s. Lots of interesting debate and perspectives in this episode!

Powell and Pressburger Knew Where They Were Going!

Starting yet another series on Jason and the Movienauts, this time talking about the beautiful, transcendent films of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Michelle joins Jason and the duo talk about their deep appreciation for I Know Where I'm Going, A Canterbury Tale and Black Narcissus - three films which are all about travel in some way, and all of which find uniquely P&P insights into the idea of travel. It's a great conversation full of smart thoughts and we hope you enjoy!

A long, smart discussion of "The Shining"

I got together with a group of friends to discuss The Shining, Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror classic. The resulting two-hour discussion of the film is fascinating listening, getting into many questions about acting, artifice, camera, the unknowability of evil, and the cosmic sublime. I think this is one of the best film discussions I've been part of, two hours of smart discussion which shed a tremendous amount of insight into this most perplexing of films.

Our Criterion 40 Box Set

The world of film fandom erupted into a small controversy recently when Criterion announced they'd be releasing a 40th anniversary boxset with 40 movies they selected. That got Jason, Bryant and Michelle talking: What would they include in their 40 movies in their boxset? So the group decided to get together and debate their selections, and slowly but surely build a collection which we believe is pretty dang interesting. Hear the results in the longest - but we think most fun - episode of Jason and the Movienauts episode so far!
