    Sasquatch Sunset Q&A w/Nathan Zellner & The Octopus Project

    Sasquatch Sunset Q&A w/Nathan Zellner & The Octopus Project

    Sasquatch Sunset is a bold and beautiful film loaded with absurd comedy and quiet poignancy that revels in its feral nature, but also boasts a surprisingly tender humanity. Like the mythical creature it's named after, the film is a rarity, a one-of-kind experience that you don't get every day (or possibly ever again) — but it's the type of swing-for-the-fences project that we'd love to see more of, especially with a theater with a packed house. 
    We were fortunate enough to secure tickets to this magical and majestic lil indie, which we absolutely adored, and the screening was made all the more entertaining and charming because co-director and star Nathan Zellner & composers The Octopus Project dropped by to answer audience questions and tell anecdotes from the film's production.

    Lousy Carter Q&A w/‎Bob Byington & ‎Luxy Banner

    Lousy Carter Q&A w/‎Bob Byington & ‎Luxy Banner

    Lousy Carter is a scrappy little indie with sharp dialogue, funny performances, playful editing, and bowling alley funerals about a failed animator-turned-lit-professor “teaching” The Great Gatsby who goes a little Nabokov after receiving the news that he has six months left to live.
    Featuring a solid ensemble cast and a wonderful lead performance from David Krumholtz is an enjoyably meandering, comedically sour journey that with have you smitten by its curmudgeonly charms. 
    We had the pleasure of checking out a screening with writer/director Bob Byington and actrees Luxy Banner in attendance, which we recorded for your listening pleasure.

    The Dead Next Door Q&A w/J.R. Bookwalter

    The Dead Next Door Q&A w/J.R. Bookwalter

    When there's no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the earth — and humanity's ineptitude will rein supreme! 
    We had the gory delight of checking out the 1989 film The Dead Next Door, written and directed by a then 19-year-old J.R. Bookwalter, at one of the Alamo Drafthouse's Terror Tuesday screenings, which was made all the more entertaining because the filmmaker was in attendance! Essentially a large-scale home movie with really impressive effects and an admirable scope given its budget and the filmmakers age, The Dead Next Door is a horror comedy of errors that relishes in humankind's ineptitude and uses their folly as an excuse to load up the picture with as many creative low-budget effects as possible. It’s got charm — and lots of guts!

    The Four Seasons Of Film - Spring: Spring Breakers

    The Four Seasons Of Film - Spring: Spring Breakers

    Throw on a skimpy swimsuit, ready the beer bong, and get ready to ride the seasonal waves cause we're back with another round of "Four Seasons Of Film!"
    To kick off this round, we're basking in the "vibey vibe" and raucous sun-soaked shenanigans of Harmony Korine's 2012 banger, Spring Breakers! The film is a pop-art anthem translated into a cinematic tone poem that's captured in that poetic catch-what-you-can way and laced with the kinda oh-so Korine dialogue and Americana kitsch. Don't let looks deceive you; this flick is deceptively deep, building itself up as a heightened-reality fable about temptation and the corruption of innocence and an ode to adolescent antics & inebriation (and their consquences), and we can't wait to (sprang) break it all down! So come on in, the water's F-I-N-E: fine

    Sofie Somoroff & Celina Bernstein On Their Short "Ride Baby Ride"

    Fasten your seatbelts because Sofie Somoroff and Celina Bernstein are here to take you on one wickedly revved up journey with the short film Ride Baby Ride! 
    This well-executed bit of horror cinema provides visceral thrills and seeks to unscrew the male mechanics of the rape-revenge film, boasting some revved-up symbolic meaning under the hood of this well-oiled machine. 
    Join Aaron as he chats with Sofie & Celina about collaboration, the making of their film, and much much more!

    Love Lies Bleeding Q&A w/Rose Glass

    Love Lies Bleeding Q&A w/Rose Glass

    Go behind the vein-popping sophomore feature from writer/director Rose Glass, Love Lies Bleeding, with this special Q&A! Remember: "ONLY LOSERS QUIT," So don't skip out on this episode like most folks do leg day! 
    The film is a quirky and queer neo-noir full of greasy mullets, guns, and girl-on-girl with brief interludes of body horror. Its sexual fluidity, spunky attitude, and cosmic edge recall the films of Gregg Araki mixed with the Wachowski's Bound, Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise, Darren Aronofsky's Requiem For A Dream, and David Lynch's Lost Highway. It's a strange cinematic cocktail of sex and violence whose mileage will vary from viewer to viewer.
