This week, we're kicking off a series of back-to-back feature episodes focusing on the work of writer/director Ryan Coogler, whose most recent work was the superlative Marvel Cinematic Universe entry Black Panther. That megahit from earlier thi
The 2018 Cannes Film Festival may be over, but the cold shoulder that the fest showed streaming giant Netflix this year is bound to be discussed for a long time to come -- so, we thought, why not jump into the fray? This week, Nick and Brian co
This week, the guys take a look at director David Bruckner's The Ritual, a Netflix Original movie that's earned some solid buzz from horror fans and comes highly recommended from co-host Chris. We discuss Bruckner's impressive chops as a direct
This week, Brian, Chris, and Nick take a look at Chris Smith's American Movie, a 1999 documentary that was championed by the late Roger Ebert and made its subject, Wisconsin-based aspiring filmmaker Mark Borchardt, something of a minor celebrit
Before we tackle the classic slice-of-filmmaking-life documentary American Movie, Nick and Chris take a few minutes to revisit some of the non-fiction films they've enjoyed over the years and, in turn, consider why documentaries are too often o
We're back, and this week, we've got what might be the perfect movie for a Long Take discussion: Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather. Not only does this certifiably classic American drama offer plenty of stellar filmmaking and cinematic storyt
Heading into our highly anticipated (by us, anyway) discussion of The Godfather, Nick and Brian take some time this mini-episode to talk about all of the classic films that we haven't seen -- what we used to call our "Lists of Shame" but, latel
This week, our "run the series" feature on the Insidious franchise concludes with an in-depth discussion of the two most recent films in the series, Insidious: Chapter 3 and this year's Insidious: The Last Key. With the departure of James Wan a
On the first edition of our every-other-week series of "Short Takes" -- mini-episodes that will each take a look at some aspect of films, moviegoing, film history, etc. -- Nick and Chris ponder what might be an impossible question to fully answ
So, here we go... This is the premiere episode of The Long Take , a film discussion podcast in which three guys who love movies take an in-depth look at all kinds of films and, one flick at a time, attempt to expand their horizons and learn mor
A relatively short time ago in a galaxy quite nearby, writer/director Rian Johnson made a sci-fi/action flick called Looper. And with Johnson's new film The Last Jedi warming (most) Star Wars fans' hearts this holiday season, we thought we'd ta
Like his inspiration, Tommy Wiseau, director and star James Franco had a Hollywood dream -- to make a movie celebrating the cult classic The Room -- and he's realized it with his new film The Disaster Artist. After discussing The Room last week
Oh, hi, Talking Movies listeners! This week, on what might be our best worst episode ever, we discuss the cult classic The Room, a real showcase for writer, director, producer, and leading man Tommy Wiseau. Co-host Nick has been a longtime fan
This week's mini-episode is our shortest to date -- it's Thanksgiving, after all, so we wanted to save the excess and gluttony for the dinner table. Anyway, in the spirit of the holiday, we thought we'd take a few minutes to give thanks for all
It's time to wrap up our series on movies about con artists, and we're bringing it to a close with the first non-English language film we've tackled on the show. That movie is 2016's The Handmaiden, a period piece from South Korean director Par
This week, we take on what might be our most obscure movie to date: 1967's The Flim-Flam Man. This George C. Scott flick is the most recent entry into our series on con-man movies, and while it's been nearly forgotten by movie lovers, the guys
We at Talking Movies are all huge fans of the indie horror hit Creep, and if you feel the same way we do, we have a real (ugh) treat for you this Halloween! We're celebrating the season this year by checking out the brand-new, critically acclai
Leave it to Talking Movies to cram thirty-some-odd years of movie history into a half-hour episode. On this mini, Brian and Chris each pick one favorite movie from every year they've been alive, from fondly remembered eighties classics to the r
This week, we begin a brand new series focusing on con-man movies, and we're kicking off our discussion of that (really specific) film genre with a very special episode! Brian Brushwood, host of Scam School, National Geographic's Hacking the Sy
We wish we could say that the long-in-development sci-fi sequel Blade Runner 2049 has been tearing it up at the box office since its release last week, but smash hit or not, the Talking Movies guys know that our fans care about this flick, and
We're extremely excited for Blade Runner 2049 -- yes, even Chris -- and it got us thinking, what other movies do we love that deserve the sequel treatment all these decades later? With Hollywood's love of both franchises and nostalgia in mind,
On one of the earliest episodes of Talking Movies, Brian and Chris discussed Blade Runner, a much-loved film that neither one of them had seen before -- and neither one of them thought was particularly great. With the long-awaited sequel on the
Writer/director Darren Aronofsky's mother! might be the most talked-about movie of 2017 thus far, so, of course, Talking Movies had to get in on the action. The movie is currently dividing critics and, for the most part, repelling audiences, bu
Well, this is it, and this is IT: the long-awaited final entry in our series on Stephen King adaptations. Sadly, our King-loving co-host Chris couldn't be on the show this week (thanks a lot, Hurricane Irma), but Brian and Nick had plenty to sa
With co-host Brian away for the week, Nick and Chris kick off the Halloween season a little early with a look ahead to this year's September and October horror movie releases. Our fall horror preview covers everything from an A-list arthouse sh
