  Whiplash

  Sep 30, 20261h 7mS1

  This week, the guys watched the 2014 award darling, Whiplash! A film that is just as much jazz love letter as it is drama, we really can't say enough good things! The way the instruments, and particularly the drums, become characters of their own is incredible. And, of course, Miles Teller and J. K. Simmons give inspired, impassioned performances that left our jaws on the floor. But what is this movie really telling us? Is it okay to torture and abuse for the sake of greatness? What is worth giving up to become a human singularity? We'll give you our takes, but as always, give us yours! ️ The Black and White Cinema Podcast with Kev 'n' Ugie YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kev_n_ugie Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-black-and-white-cinema-podcast-with-kev-n-ugie/id1874324373 Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9d1ba56a-bfe8-45c8-aad8-47a28a3f3829/the-black-and-white-cinema-podcast-with-kev-'n'-ugie allmylinks: https://allmylinks.com/kev-n-ugie #whiplash #milesteller #jksimmons #jazz #music

  Episode #32

  Leon: The Professional

  Sep 22, 202655 minS1

  Leon: The Professional is a Wildly different movie depending on which cut you watch... and we learned that the erm... hard way. In this episode, Ugie went the full director's cut route while Kev stuck to the US theatrical version, leading to a breakdown of epic proportions. We dive headfirst into Luc Besson's 1994 action classic, only to realize that the extended cut turns a sleek thriller into something genuinely bizarre. We laugh, we cry, we shouldn't have watched the Director's Cut. We debate whether the extra runtime makes the movie cooler, weirder, or just plain uncomfortable, and things get heated fast. Plus, Kev reveals his absolute favorite running bit: losing his mind every time Ugie drops into a French accent. #LeonTheProfessional #MoviePodcast #FilmDiscussion #DirectorsCut #Cinema ️ The Black and White Cinema Podcast with Kev 'n' Ugie YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kev_n_ugie Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-black-and-white-cinema-podcast-with-kev-n-ugie/id1874324373 Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9d1ba56a-bfe8-45c8-aad8-47a28a3f3829/the-black-and-white-cinema-podcast-with-kev-'n'-ugie allmylinks: https://allmylinks.com/kev-n-ugie

  Big Daddy

  Sep 15, 20261 hourS1

  Adopting a random kid to win back your ex? Peak 90s logic right there. This week we are looking back at Adam Sandler’s classic comedy Big Daddy (1999)Looking back at Big Daddy through a modern lens, Sonny Koufax definitely takes the crown for being an absolute menace and a terrible Dad that stepped up. From his complete lack of adult responsibilities to his questionable life advice, he would honestly be the worst person to have as a roommate or a guardian. Is Canadian Beer better than American Beer?Should New Yorker be allowed to adopt?Is Sid just as Trill as we remember?As for whether the movie holds up? Parts of it are still a fun nostalgia trip, but a lot of the plot feels like a fever dream that could only exist in the Happy Madison universe.#BigDaddy #AdamSandler #90sMovies #NYC #MoviePodcast️ The Black and White Cinema Podcast with Kev 'n' Ugie YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kev_n_ugie Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-black-and-white-cinema-podcast-with-kev-n-ugie/id1874324373 Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9d1ba56a-bfe8-45c8-aad8-47a28a3f3829/the-black-and-white-cinema-podcast-with-kev-'n'-ugie allmylinks: https://allmylinks.com/kev-n-ugie
