26:50

Black Mirror is always a mind bending good time. It really leaves you with that warm fuzzy feeling at the end of every episode, ya know? Normally we're treated to a 6 episode anthology but we've been surprised this year with a stand alone film. That's not the only difference! It's a choose your own adventure story. Be sure to watch it through on yo…

Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) 19:40

7y ago19:40

19:40

This was intended to be our Christmas episode but forgetfulness while travelling meant we missed releasing it altogether! But to celebrate the season while still in the realm of film noir, we watched Angels with Dirty Faces.

The Maltese Falcon (1931) 24:42

7y ago24:42

24:42

Having watched the more famous 1941 version of The Maltese Falcon, we were curious to turn the clock back to 1931 when Hollywood took it's first shot at a film adaptation of the novel. At that time Hollywood was in the far less puritanical "pre-code" era where slightly more risque material was accepted. We find a more smug, playboy version of Sam S…

The Maltese Falcon (1941) 32:49

7y ago32:49

32:49

This week we watch the more famous 1941 version of The Maltese Falcon. Considered the first big film to mark the beginning of the era of film noir. And thus we begin our little survey of style. We'll be going along the timeline choosing a few stand out films from the quintessential noir catalog along the way.…

M (1931) 19:55

7y ago19:55

19:55

We're turning the clock back on what we'll call the official start of our little noir series. M (1931) directed by Fritz Lang. His first "talkie." With elements of German Expressionism and that narrative darkness we've come to know of noir films, M contains some of the bones we'll recognize in the structure of films to come. Give this classic a wat…

7+ y ago34:11

34:11

This week we sit down with our buddy Jon and talk about one of the more light-hearted films to come out of the Dogme 95 movement: Italian for Beginners (2000). It's a delightful little indie Rom-Com but not without its dark Scandanavian touches. Highly recommended!By Andy Antao, Travis Marsala

Alice in Wonderwall 31:43

7+ y ago31:43

31:43

This week we do one more sync before testing out some new directions for the podcast. What better way to put a cap on this chapter than by consulting the infamous "creepy blog" whose shadow has loomed large over our podcast since day one. We take the blog's suggestion of pairing Disney's original animated Alice in Wonderland with Pink Floyd's The W…

This week we're joined by the very funny Steve Grande. Steve is the first person we've had on who has also tried out a sync himself! For his pitch, he brings up the most brilliantly obvious sync we hadn't yet thought of: Toy Story with Aerosmith's Toy's in the Attic.

This week we dove deep and mixed the spacey, ethereal Radiohead album The Bends with one of Disney's most iconic films, The Little Mermaid.

This July 4th, we sit down with Adam Wynn and pledge allegiance to The Cage. We couldn't think of a better way to mark the occasion than to watch a film which shares its superlative title with its star. National Treasure starring (national treasure) Nicolas Cage...and Doug from the Hangover. At Adam's spot on request we sync up this...film...with G…

This week we convinced the wonderful Maeve Devitt to sit down with us and watch her FAVORITE MOVIE: Paddington 2. We figured what better way to tribute the namesake of this podcast than by syncing it up with Dark Side of the Moon! This delightful little bear-comedy is as sweet as marmalade. It stands to reason a thick spread of Pink Floyd could onl…

Rogue One Revival 33:16

7+ y ago33:16

33:16

This week we take look at Disney's first child to be born under the "A Star Wars Story" sign. Although it's often compared to Vietnam War films, we felt there was one big thing missing to complete that interpretation. NOT ENOUGH "FORTUNATE SON" IN THE SOUNDTRACK. Also not enough helicopters. But we did what we could. So we muted the movie and playe…
