  Episode #12

  The Battle of Algiers (1966) w/ Jacob and Jen Big Nasty from Worker's Lit

  Aug 18, 20261h 18mS3

  It's the movie that depicted a conflict that literally brought down the Fourth French Republic. French critics hated it and it took five years for France to release Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers to release theatrically. Internationally, it was incredibly well regarded. American audiences that were against the Vietnam War gravitated towards it. Due to its grounded depiction of urban resilience and guerilla warfare groups such as the PLO and the Black Panthers had screenings of this film. Even the Pentagon had screenings of this film. This highly controversial film is regarded currently as a fair and balanced depiction of a sociopolitical quagmire in post-war France and Northern Africa. It is considered now to be one of the greatest films ever made. From the Worker's Lit podcast, Jacob returns and Jen Big Nasty makes her MoviePod debut. Join us for a fascinating discussion on the history of Algeria and colonialism and decolonialism You can follow Jacob and Worker's Lit on Bluesky You can follow Jen Big Nasty on Twitter.

  Episode #11

  Blade Runner (1982) w/ Kevin Tuck

  Aug 10, 20261h 57mS3

  This is one of the movies that made me decide to choose this format for the podcast. Polarizing when it came out, thanks to an inferior theatrical cut, it released in the same month as other sci-fi gems like Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, The Thing and E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial. As time went on and additional cuts of the film were released, people went back to the sci-fi noir Blade Runner with deeper appreciation. It is now considered one of the greatest films ever made and it has made a significant impact on other films, video games and television series. Join me and Kevin for a spirited discussion praising this film and dumping on our modern hellscape's version of artificial intelligence. We discuss the theatrical cut with the awful narration and happy ending as well as the director's cut and the definitive Final Cut of the film. Blade Runner was directed by Ridley Scott and stars Harrison Ford, Ruger Hauer, Sean Young and Edward James Olmos. Kevin Tuck is an independent filmmaker.

  Episode #10

  Spider-Man 3 (2007) w/ Audens and egg_brained

  Aug 4, 20261h 46mS3

  There's a new Spider-Man in the theatre so it's the perfect excuse to revisit the fantastic, yet maligned, third Sam Raimi film in his trilogy. This film ended a series but people came around to it a bit more a decade later when Tom Holland became the new Spider-Man and people realized this movie was funny on purpose and that the melodrama is something that is missing from the MCU. Spider-Man 3 is directed by Sam Raimi. It stars Tobey McGuire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace, Elizabeth Banks, Bryce Dallas Howard, James Cromwell, Rosemary Harris and J.K. Simmons Apologies for the audio popping. Going to sort that out by the next episode.

  Episode #9

  Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) w/ Tim Sestito and Tommy Thevenet from Haven't Scene It

  Jul 27, 20262h 16mS3

  This is a big one. Batman AND Superman in the same movie? What could go wrong? To many, nothing went wrong and the three hour extended cut of Zack Snyder's superhero team up movie is a a great film. However, those people are wrong. This is possibly my most hated movie ever. I will hand it to them that the longer version is a more coherent movie. Snyder fans to this day like the auteur vision of this film and with films such as Zack Snyder's Justice League getting a proper full release they will still be in the replies of every social media post demanding to Restore the Snyderverse. I am joined by Tim and Tommy from Haven't Scene It to discuss this film that we all did not have much fun with. You can follow Haven't Scene It on Twitter .

  Episode #8

  Jurassic Park III (2001) w/ Dalton Pike of Outside the Frame and Sick Flicks

  Jul 21, 20261h 54mS3

  With one of our greats, Sam Neill, passing away I brough back Dalton Pike to the show to talk about his favourite Jurassic Park film, Joe Johnston's Jurassic Park III. The movie had a mixed reception upon release. However, Spielberg's mixed reception of The Lost World has had people debate for many years on which Jurassic Park sequel is the superior film. This episode has Dalton explain his love for talking animal films to my absolute amusement. We also go deep on our love as children on dinosaurs and this franchise. Jurassic Park III stars Sam Neill, William H. Macy, Téa Leoni, Allesandro Novla, Trevor Mogran, Michael Jeter and Laura Dern. You can find Dalton on Letterboxd . On top of being a top tier cinema programmer at Hyland Cinema he hosts Sick Flicks and Outside the Frame.
