The Movie Club Podcast #15: A.I. and Prince of Darkness

Sean — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:12:52 +0000

The Movie Club Podcast is a monthly roundtable podcast where we select two movies to dissect, analyze and discuss with a group of fellow movie bloggers and film fans. After four long months of scheduling difficulties, Jay and I finally managed to sit down with Kurt and Andrew from Row Three to record the latest episode of The Movie Club Podcast. This time around, we engage in a pretty lengthy discussion about Steven Spielberg's A.I.: Artificial Intelligence and John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness, two movies that aren't really related in any way, aside from the fact that they're both a lot of fun to talk about! In order to listen, head over to The Movie Club Podcast website (linked below) to grab the MP3, or simply update your feed in iTunes. Don't forget to join in the conversation by leaving your thoughts in the comments over there, and also cast a vote for other movies to feature an upcoming episode. The next episode will be Walter Hill's The Warriors and Martin Scorsese's After Hours.

The Movie Club Podcast #14: Natural Born Killers and Chopper

Sean — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 17:28:32 +0000

The Movie Club Podcast is a monthly roundtable podcast where we select two movies to dissect, analyze and discuss with a group of fellow movie bloggers and film fans. Somewhere in our busy summer schedule we managed to find time to sit down with our friends from Row Three to talk about two more movies for the latest episode of The Movie Club Podcast. This time around the choices were Oliver Stone's 1994 classic Natural Born Killers and Andrew Dominik's directorial debut Chopper starring Eric Bana. Both movies address the idea of violence in the media, while also providing plenty of on-screen violence themselves. Head over to The Movie Club Podcast website (linked below) to grab the MP3, or simply update your feed in iTunes. Don't forget to leave your own thoughts about these films on the site and cast your vote for next month's poll too. On the next episode we will be discussing A.I. and Prince of Darkness... should be a good one as well.

The Movie Club Podcast #13: The Alien Quadrilogy

Sean — Fri, 08 May 2009 16:01:18 +0000

The Movie Club Podcast is a monthly roundtable podcast where we select two movies to dissect, analyze and discuss with a group of fellow movie bloggers and film fans. This was a pretty big episode of The Movie Club Podcast, but hopefully it's one that a lot of people will be interested in. This month we decided to sit down and go through all four movies in the so-called Alien Quadrilogy (Alien, Aliens, Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection). They are all distinctly different, and believe it or not, each one had supporters, resulting in some interesting points of view for discussion. Head over to The Movie Club Podcast website (linked below) to grab the entire 2 hour and 47 minute podcast now. Also be sure to leave your own comments over there, and cast your vote in the poll for episode #15. Next month we will be taking on a pair of serial killer flicks: Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers and Andrew Dominik's Chopper.

The Movie Club Podcast #6: Roadkill and Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Sean — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 14:17:23 +0000

Well we had some trouble scheduling the sixth episode of The Movie Club Podcast (our monthly roundtable discussion with some of the fine folks from Row Three) and as a result the show is a few weeks late and a host short... but still jam packed with insightful information! This time around we watched Bruce McDonald's Roadkill and Russ Meyer's Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!. Marina was unable to join us for the show unfortunately, which is too bad considering that both films definitely have a female perspective, but hopefully the discussion will continue in the comments over at MovieClubPodcast.com. Next month: Ang Lee's The Ice Storm and Jean-Marc VallÃ©e's C.R.A.Z.Y. Don't forget to cast your vote for the following month's episode as well!

Head on over to the Movie Club Podcast website to listen to the show, and feel free to leave your feedback in the comments there. Next month's episode will feature discussions on Cannibal Holocaust and Freddy Got Fingered. Why are we subjecting ourselves to movies like this?
