The Film Talk TFT Premium

Well this was quite the episode, perhaps being behind a ‘paywall’ allows us to be a bit looser, a bit opener? Maybe that’s just a way of saying we free-associated like mad in this very “relaxed” Bonus Episode in which a new segment is unveiled: Tubi or Not Tubi? 

You see, we have this “free ad-supported television” service called Tubi in the U.S. of America, which has a fantastic selection of classic films, but let’s be honest, they’re not all gold. In ’Tubi or Not Tubi” Jett investigates whether a film on Tubi is really worth your time. For this inaugural segment Jett watches the classic John Frankenheimer directed, Rod Serling penned, political thriller Seven Days in May, starring Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster - both at the height of their powers.

Along the way Gareth recommends new documentaries Steve! and It’s Only Life after all, we get into the strangeness of another political thriller with Burt Lancaster, Twilight’s Last Gleaming, ruminate on the hamminess of Joe Don Baker, wonder what could have been if Lawrence Olivier was in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and so much more. Hope ya like it. 

Can we experience our experiences without taking photographs of them? This is one of the many questions asked in Jett and Gareth’s look at the brilliant, picaresque horror film from Alex Garland: Civil War. Along the way they relate the movie to such work as Andor, Cold Mountain, Salvador and even After Earth, and decide we all need an avalanche of kindness in the world. French philosopher René Girard is in the mix as well, along with thoughts on the career of Anthony Perkins. Also we spoil the end of The Godfather Part III. #GentleJesse

This may be one of the most far-ranging and far-reaching shows yet. Gareth and Jett get into the beautiful and sublime Wim Wender's film Perfect Days, look, and listen to, M. Emmet Walsh in Straight Time and The Iron Giant, marvel at Louis Gossett Jr.'s performance in Enemy Mine and Jaws 3-D, (the third dimension is terror), explore the Wings of Desire Cinematic Universe, wonder about Alejandro Jodorowsky as regards to Alexander Payne's The Holdovers and even find time to shoehorn in a few thoughts about Rod Steiger and Ray Bradbury's The Illustrated Man. Remember, “learn how to see, and in the act of doing so, learn how to be.”
