Film Festival Podcast: Rashomon

July 6th, 2010 by Mitch

This week Mitch and Chris are joined by none other than M.C. Wilson himself as they discuss the 1950 Akira Kurisawa film Rashomon. Widely considered one of the greatest films ever made, it is also a fantastic exercise in storytelling, and not one to miss.

Film Fest Podcast: Paper Moon

June 29th, 2010 by Mitch


This week Mitch and Chris dip into the festival’s first bit of New Hollywood: the 1973 Peter Bogdonavich con-man film Paper Moon. The film, set in Great Depression-era Kansas, follows confidence man Moses Pray (played by Ryan O’Neal) as he takes the newly-orphaned Addie (played by O’Neal’s real-life daughter Tatum) to live with some of her distant relatives, forming a reluctant bond along the way.

Film Festival Podcast: The Comedians of Comedy

June 24th, 2010 by Mitch


This week I’m joined by stand-up comedian and stand-up guy Kyle Ayers as we discuss the 2005 documentary The Comedians of Comedy, the 2004 tour featuring Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Maria Bamford and Zach Galifianakis. The film itself is more than a tour documentary, however, and begins to delve deeper into the form and processes of the modern alternative comedy scene.
