We struggle to put on a podcast production every week, so we have great sympathy for a group of films about putting on a production. On this episode we try to set aside bitter feelings about SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE winning the 1998 Academy Award for Best Picture in its battle with Richard Linklater's ME AND ORSON WELLES. These two films have been inspired by the great new documentary BALLET 422, and director Jody Lee Lipes was kind enough to join us to talk about his new film.
Episode 208 - Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse We like to keep up with the latest and greatest in the film universe so for this episode we're dialing up Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. In a world where superhero films saturate the market, can an animated feature distinguish itself from the pack? MOVIES DISCUSSED THIS WEEK: A Fistful of Dollars, The Favourite, Skyscraper, The Meg, RBG, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Searching, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
