Another episode comin at ya, but a bit of news first. GCast, the server that hosted my podcasts, seems to be closing up shop. Thus I have packed up the whole show and moved it to mypodcast.com. So if you’re following me using iTunes or Google, please reset your feed so you don’t miss out on any more podcasty goodness.

  1. Great podcast, lots of fun! Anytime I hear Road to Perdition I ache to watch that movie again… and I just saw it yesterday. I have a feeling it's going to be climbing my top 100 rapidly in years to come.

  2. HEY!!!!! Don't dis me for not having seen Godfathers! I even interupted listening to your podcast cuz I was so outraged! (dont pick on a girl just cuz she's not an Italian mafia movie lover)

    I've seen Apocalypse Now- so take THAT hatter and "the cat".

  3. @TheCanadianCutie – I'm sorry, I was only being the mischievous person I typically am. I meant no serious offense. As you could hear from the rest of the podcast, there are so many classics that I haven't seen you could easily fill an encyclopedia!

    Not to mention, you sound much better "On Air" than I do, so you've got me there too!

  4. Those ten free movies are definitely sounding good. Collin was actually darkish in The English Patient – it’s his best performance for me – barring A Single Man, which I’ve not seen. The Constant of Gardener was beautifully shot. Best of 05. I can’t recall City of God clearly though.

    This cinematography idea is cool. I feel I'll have to do a post on this.

    I can't comment on everything, but the podcast was very nice: loved the review and all else.

    And Jude Law is really good in Road to Perdition.

  5. @ Univarn… Methinks you need to get out and buy yourself a copy. I'd loan you mine but it was one of the movies Cheshire took with him after the podcast.

    @ Cutie… Like I said in this episode, you lose further marks because it's on TV so often. However, everybody has at least one essential to answer this question with, so don't worry.

    @ Cheshire… Watched any of the borrowed movies yet?

  6. @ Andrew… He was pretty darned good in that, ditto in the BBC's "Pride & Predjudice". I guess it's just been a while.

    Glad you liked episode 4, can't wait to read your cinematography post when you get around to it.

  8. @Mad Oddly enough I do own a copy. I can only watch a movie so many times in a few days or I'll get annoyed by it so I try to resist those urges.

  10. “The movie you wish you had made?” what a great question. – “One broken snow globe away from being a Chanel commercial” what a great quote!

    A couple of great Colin Firth movies for you: Apartment Zero. Fever Pitch (playing against type) and
    The English Patient as mentioned by Andrew @ Encore Entertainment.

    I have to agree with City of God and Raging bull but also have a some suggestions for best photographed films:

    Stagecoach shot by Bert Glennon under the ever watchful eye of John Ford. Ford is known for his landscapes but look at his action shots and even more importantly his interiors, the obscure angles and sublime lighting. More revolutionary than it is given credit for.

    The Misfits, shot in stark black and white by Russell Metty who had just shot Spartacus that went on to win an Oscar for colour cinematography. He captures the barren Nevada landscapes with such beauty and amazing use of light.

    Possibly the most stylish film ever, again in stunning black and white La dolce vita shot by Otello Martelli

    One a little from leftfield. People tent to notice great photography when it is shooting beautiful landscapes but interiors and cities are harder to shoot and harder too shoot well that’s why I love Lost in Translation. Shot by Lance Acord. Overlooked by the Oscars but won the BAFTA. He has just shot Where the Wild Things Are that was also stunning.

  11. Another awesome podcast!

    I ditto Fandango's sentiment on quotability “One broken snow globe away from being a Chanel commercial” that is sheer brilliance.

    Love that Night of the Hunter got some love – it's such a beautifully shot, and oddly eerie film. Caught up with it a while ago as it's 'just one of those you must see' but its so much more.

  12. @ Andrew… You do work fast, and I'm a little pissed at myself for not thinking of a few of those (namely ENGLISH PATIENT and JESSE JAMES)

    @ No. 6… Glad you like the new question! Perhaps I'll Skypecast you into a future episode and you can answer it for yourself!

    @ Shannon… I do aim for brilliance, so good to know it's working! I think more people need to double back and watch NIGHT OF THE HUNTER. Maybe I'll suggest it to the 1001 Movies Group.

    Thanks for listening!

  13. Never used skype but if I ever join the 21st century would love to get involved in a “matineecast”.

  14. "Only if he brings Sprity Spice!" LMAO

    Oh Cheshire, you make me grin. 🙂

    Excellent job, lads, a fun ep to listen to!

    I'm beginning to think that, in addition to joining the Haven't Seen The Godfather support group, I may also have to answer my own not-seen essential question with, "In addition to all of those previously mentioned…"

    Sigh. 😉

  15. SpOrty Spice, I meant…she is not, after all, some sort of woodland faerie…

    I can't type. 😉

    – Soo-Z

  16. Agree with you on the look of A Single Man. Ford's style so strong. When Firth is getting dressed I thought, "he's wearing Tom Ford's suit". Nice job.

  17. @ Number Six… I have the next four or five lined up, but give it a thought – I'd really love to do a trans-atlantic matineecast. It'd be a sign that I'm all growns up!

    @ Suzie… I could make fun of you, but you turned out to be such an awesome guest that to mock would be a disservice. Soak in the goodness that is a get out of jail free card.

    @ Linda… That sequence where he was getting ready for the day was like installation art…I could watch it on loop. Glad you enjoyed our handiwork!

  18. I have just listened again following your comment on my review of A Single Man, I don’t think we disagree on any particular point, you just liked the overall result more than I did.

    I had completely forgotten your “One broken snow globe away from being a Chanel commercial” quote, I was going to steal that for my review tile.
