The Pacific Northwest Insurance Corporation Moviefilm Podcast Corbin Smith and Matt Ellis

Corbin, Matt and SPACIAL GUEST SAM WHITELEY (Comedian, The Payton Years) talk about Foxcatcher, a BLEAK movie about wrestling (The non-cool kind), the world warping around the wealth of an unstable man, the question of what america actually is, and stamp collecting. If you like hearing Corbin say something unacceptably rude to a guest, this is the one for you!
Next week's episode is about Cecil B. DeMille's KING OF KINGS. It will be the first in a series of movies about JESUS OF NAZARETH, reagarded by most Christian sects as the incarnation of God on Earth. Watch it here. 

This week, Matt and Corbin talk about BORN IN FLAMES, a facinating little piece of second-wave feminist instigation from Lizzie Borden. I am worried we get something wrong about it by being white men talking about 'Born in Flames' so please do not hurt us. We talk about the movie's sense of feminism in relation to capitalism and how it feels very disassociated in the present day, the music in the movie, the sight of possible futures from the perspective of the present, and other stuff. 
Watch the movie here. Corbin also vicifoursly reccomends Lizzie Borden's other big feature, the neorealist middle class prostitution epic WORKING GIRLS, which you can see here.
Corbin's reccomendation can be acquired here (On sale!). Matt's is currently in theaters. Next week's episode is about FOXCATCHER, which can be seen here.

Corbin and Matt discuss "BAMBI," Walt Disney's animated classic about animal friends living in a forest idyl, and their deadliest, most terrifying enemy: human beings. 
You can read an enlightening and low key troubling essay about Bambi's literary origins here.

Corbin and Matt talk about SEXY BEAST, a prehistoric crime drama from Jonathan Glazer. We talk about the advent of the chatty gangster picture, the way the movie does and doesnt subvert the tennants of this subgenre, end-of-history type blathering, and Ray Winsome, the titular Sexy Beast.

THIS WEEK Corbin and Matt talk about 'News from Home," an avant-garde collage of still life 70's New York Footage and Chantal Akerman's mother's letters to her. It's really great but also there's not much to say about it in a podcast blurb, you know?
Next week we are discussing Jonathan Glazer's SEXY BEAST, which you can watch here, on Criterion or here, on Hulu. It's a wonderful movie! 

This week, Corbin and Matt talk about 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp,' Powell and Pressburger's incredible exploration of the life and career of a British Solider from the first half of the 20th Century. It's almost hard to talk about because it is such a rich text. We didn't even talk about how the central relationship of the movie reflects that of the movie's creators, we're so deep in it. 
You can, and should, watch this movie here, on Criterion, and here on HBOMax. 
If you want to read something really incredible about this movie, check out Kent Puckett's essay on the movie here, at JSTOR. Next week's episode is about Chantal Ackerman's "News From Home," which you can watch here.
