"Your podcast exudes a cosmic darkness... do you see that?"
In this special extended-length episode, our host is joined by two Nicolas Cage scholars to discuss the legendary actor's magnum opus -- Panos Cosmatos' 2018 psychedelic action-horror film, Mandy! We discuss the film's themes of grief, revenge, drug use, masculine aggression and more-- while gushing over Benjamin Loeb's gorgeous digital cinematography, and Cosmatos' rip-roaring action sequences. In the end, we also get to talk about how Mandy has influenced these two young filmmakers in their own budding ventures as actors/directors. Strap in -- it's a wild ride!

"By order of Queen Elizabeth, listen to my podcast!"
In this episode, we sit down to discuss Takashi Miike's 2001 film 'The Happiness of the Katakuris', a happy-go-lucky pop-rock musical about love, family, and suppressing the trauma that comes with serially burying dead bodies. We had lots of fun talking about Miike's 'elevated tackiness' aesthetic, and the clash between the film's various claymation sequences and its early-digital aesthetics. Listen in to hear us talk about this crazy, heartfelt cult classic!

"In the Steven Spielberg movie "E.T.," why is the alien brown? No reason. In Oliver Stone's "JFK," why is the President suddenly assassinated by some stranger? No reason. Why record a podcast talking about a killer psionic tire movie? Once again, absolutely no reason."
In this podcast, we discuss the cinematic merits of Quentin Dupieux's 2010 film Rubber, a slasher film starring a killer psionic tire named Robert. We had lots of fun talking about its status as a Cannes Festival darling, its marvelous animatronic special effects, and its metatextual, "no reason" philosophy. Listen in to learn more about this hidden gem horror film!

“Nicky, do you remember the podcast? Remember all the different ways of the podcast? Remember that? Remember? Huh?”
Here on today’s Film Club podcast, we are examining Michael Cimino’s most notable film, The Deer Hunter, and how its release contributes to discussions of early Oscar bait and the changing American landscape of who goes to the cinema and what they see. Here, we talk about the film’s depiction of the Vietnam war and those involved, the film’s brilliant performances by its stellar cast, and how some of its 3-act structure ultimately fell short. By the time you are done with the podcast, hopefully, you will love John Cazale more than you should already. Listen in on the UW Film Club’s 92nd episode!

“Morgan, this podcast stuff is just about a bunch of nerds who never had a girlfriend their whole lives.”
For today’s podcast, we look over M. Night Shyamalan’s 2002 invasion film Signs and its cultural impact by fans of the eccentric director’s style. Here, we discuss its beautiful shot composition, timeless framing/VFX, the absurd yet heartfelt dialogue, how it cemented Shyamalan in the world of auteurs, and how the film encompasses the true meaning of faith and family while also begging the question: Does M. Night Shyamalan hate dogs? Find out here on the UW Film Club’s 90th podcast episode!
