MARK AS PLAYED: Black Panther and Representation in Film

For the launch of Ava Duvernay's A WRINKLE IN TIME we present a conversation between  Jairo  of  The True Bromance Film Podcast  and  Dave  of  The Grand Gesture  discussing the importance of representation in film; both in front of AND behind the camera. To do so, we keep up this idea of inclusion by bringing in clips from some of our favorite podcasts:  Horrible Imaginings ,  Cinemabun  and the  Cinema Geeks  in a discussion on Ryan Coogler's huge hit BLACK PANTHER. Give this a listen and a follow at the links below:          Support what we do with bonus content and early episodes on  Patreon Listen on  iTunes / Podbean Facebook / Instagram / Twitter : @markasplayedpod Theme music by  Josh Nolan 'til the Words Run Out from the album  Fair City Lights

MARK AS PLAYED: Annihilation and the Defense of Sci-Fi

On this episode we decide to listen to one of the many concerns from Film Twitter that found its way to our official complaint box ( @markasplayedpod ) and take up the defense of science fiction as a genre. To do so we present Exhibit A: Alex Garland's new box-office bomb ANNIHILATION. And when that doesn't work we turn to two other great movie podcasts to make the case for the health and well-being of this genre, regardless of the reception to this Natalie Portman starring flick. So sit back and listen to us,  THE TRUE BROMANCE FILM PODCAST  and  THE FILM FIND .

MARK AS PLAYED: The Cloverfield Paradox and the Non-Event Event Movie

We show Netflix how it's done in dropping a surprise new release with a new episode of MARK AS PLAYED! On this one  Michael Denniston  of  PROJECTING FILM  and  Jason Michael  of  ATLANTIC SCREEN CONNECTION  don't so much talk THE CLOVERFIELD PARADOX as we do the effect (if any) Netflix is having with their film acquisitions and their attempts to change the game in releasing movies without the traditional marketing materials. To help us make sense of it all we turn to two favorite movie podcasts in  THE CINEMILE  and  THE MOVIE CHEMISTS . Give those fine folks a listen, follow, and subscribe and then do the same with us at the links below: Listen on  iTunes / Podbean Facebook / Instagram / Twitter : @markasplayedpod Theme music by  Josh Nolan 'til the Words Run Out from the album  Fair City Lights

MARK AS PLAYED: The Shape of Water and The Power of Visuals

On our latest episode,  Jairo  of  THE TRUE BROMANCE FILM PODCAST  and  Jessi  of  MARK AS PLAYED  struggle to keep count of the number of Oscar nominations that Guillermo del Toro's THE SHAPE OF WATER but they do admire the beautiful imagery seen in this new film. On that topic they also recommend two other movie podcasts on this filmmaker and that subject. In  THE RAD CARPET  the hosts talk about how both the war and fantasy elements of PAN'S LABYRINTH elevate an otherwise cliche film, and in  MAD ABOUT MOVIES  the discussion revolves around the excellent visuals adding more to CRIMSON PEAK much in the way of other more traditional live action adaptations. It would be a fairy tale ending for us if you check us out in other places: Facebook / Instagram / Twitter : @markasplayedpod Theme music by  Josh Nolan 'til the Words Run Out from the album  Fair City Lights

MARK AS PLAYED: Paddington 2 and Adult Themes in Kids Movies

On this episode  Andrew  of  AB FILM REVIEW  and  Jessi  of  MARK AS PLAYED  use the release of PADDINGTON 2 to explore the adult themes that are found in kids films. This is helped by looks at THE LAST UNICRON in  CULT FILM IN REVIEW  and THE DARK CRYSTAL in  THE RETRO CINEMA PODCAST , and their dark, not particularly kiddy friendly themes. As if this isn't dark enough, we somehow end up asking the question of how cinema can help kids get through the Trump era.

MARK AS PLAYED: Darkest Hour and the Finest Hour of Gary Oldman

On this episode  Jairo  of  THE TRUE BROMANCE FILM PODCAST  and  Mike  of  SOBER CINEMA  debate the merit of Gary Oldman's performance in DARKEST HOUR as being his finest acting hour. The ultimate character actor is compared to such a distinguished group of peers that includes Nicolas Cage, Daniel Day Lewis, and Tom Brady. You may not have heard of these struggling artists, so we also bring in two great podcasts  AB FILM REVIEW  and  THE FLOP HOUSE  to help make our point on the validity of Gary Oldman as a performer as opposed to an actor. ALSO the hosts take the time out of Gary Oldman's march to an Oscar to settle some scores with James Franco and Eddie the Eagle. We think the Drexl version of Mr. Oldman would approve.

MARK AS PLAYED: Eyes Wide Shut and Christmas Movies Without the Family

For our holiday special we get the MARK AS PLAYED family together to spend time away from their families. Which is a totally normal thing for movie podcasters, but also makes more sense as our subject for our first Christmas episode on Christmas movies that remove the family from the characters' lives. Our main focus is EYES WIDE SHUT but as usual with a Stanley Kubrick film, HOME ALONE will and Frank Capra's IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE will inevitably come up (if I had a nickel for every time that the Sticky Bandits were brought up in a FULL METAL JACKET discussion). More importantly we recommend two more great podcasts in  THE FLICKS PODCAST  and  THE BROKEN BRAIN . Our gift to you, along with this episode. Happy holidays!

MARK AS PLAYED: Star Wars The Last Jedi and Critic Proof Cinema

On this episode our hosts  Jason  of  ATLANTIC SCREEN CONNECTION  and  Jairo  of  THE TRUE BROMANCE FILM PODCAST  talk about their hopes, dreams, fears, and axieties for the latest chapter in the STAR WARS saga: THE LAST JEDI. But what they don't talk about are any of the early reviews that have come out about this film. The subject for this episode is Critic Proof Cinema, which ranges from fan favorites such as HARRY POTTER to film snob untouchables like PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON. How do we approach movies that we have already developed such an affinity for? To help answer that question we recommend two more great movie podcasts in  LINOLEUM KNIFE  and  RED LETTER MEDIA's BEST OF THE WORST .

MARK AS PLAYED: The Disaster Artist and Ironic Enjoyment

On this episode we ask you to ironically enjoy our latest episode on THE DISASTER ARTIST and ironic enjoyment at the movies. To do so we actually enjoy a couple of other movie podcasts on this outbreak of detachment occuring in modern film fandom.  FIRST TIME WATCHERS  and  THE CANON  join James Franco in enlightening the world on all that is good about bad cinema, but we also hold out hope that these great shows can also point out all the good in our bad podcast! If not, we just point you in their direction. Enjoy!

MARK AS PLAYED: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Comedy Through Tragedy

We attempt to laugh through the tragedy that is this podcast and to do so we have just the pick-me-up in Martin McDonagh's new film THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI. Hosts  Jessi Lauren  and  Michael Denniston  discuss this great Frances McDormand starring film along with recommending some great podcasts on the subject. In  AMANDA'S PICTURE SHOW A GO GO  the balance between comedy and drama is praised in summer hit THE BIG SICK and on  CELLULOID HEROES  the hosts bring back  MARK AS PLAYED  favorite in the hitman romcom GROSSE POINTE BLANK. So don't be afraid of the darkness in this episode as we eventually get around to first date horror stories which is something that everyone can point and laugh at.

MARK AS PLAYED: Lady Bird and Rotten Tomatoes Perfection

We can't promise podcast perfection but we can promise two other great movie podcasts to inspire our discussion on Rotten Tomatoes Perfection and the new film LADY BIRD. On the  MOVIE MAINTENANCE  podcast the hosts discuss the current film offerings weighing heavily on the positive reaction to BABY DRIVER while over on  LITTLE GOLD MEN  there is a fear of how Greta Gerwig's movie will be perceived by the filmgoing public with the perfect Rotten Tomatoes score attached to it. Take solace dear listener in that you have attached yourself to this great podcast and we will never have such glowing reviews that would only disappoint you later.

MARK AS PLAYED: Justice League and Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen

We welcome yet another team member to our own personal JUSTICE LEAGUE in  Jason Michael  of  ATLANTIC SCREEN CONNECTION . He joins the world's most enthusiastic fan of comic book movies in  Michael Denniston  of  PROJECTING FILM  to discuss the varied responses to this lastest DCU film endeavor, along with the various version that could have been with this movie. That leads us to our theme of Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen, and to celebrate that we bring in a couple other great podcasts that have covered this topic previously in  INSESSION FILM  and  THE Q&A WITH JEFF GOLDSMITH .

MARK AS PLAYED: Murder on the Orient Express and How soon is too soon for Spoilers?

We hope we have given you dear listeners plenty of time to be spoiled on your on for our discussion on MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS... but if not, well apparently it was a book or something for a few years. Which leads our co-hosts  Dave  and  Jessi  to discuss spoiler culture and how long do we have to cater to those ignorant fools at the watercooler who have managed to avoid that Sopranos finale? As usual the answers lie within a couple of other podcasts as we recommend  THE DELETED SCENE PODCAST  and  SILVER SCREEN SNOBS . But most importantly we recommend that you hit that play button.

MARK AS PLAYED: Searching for Michael Fassbender's Stardom

This week,  Dave  of  POP CULTURE CASE STUDY  and  Jairo  of  THE TRUE BROMANCE FILM PODCAST  do their best to help a relatively unknown actor take his career to super stardom. Inspired by the conversations on  THE HAROLD & MAUDECAST  and  SPOILERAMA  podcasts, Jairo and Dave discuss THE SNOWMAN and Michael Fassbender's search for stardom.

MARK AS PLAYED: Happy Death Day and Second Chance Cinema

On HAPPY DEATH DAY we celebrate our previous failures (or the rare successes) in film discourse by checking out a couple of other movies podcasts giving cinema a second chance.  THE POPCORN MUNCHER  evaluate BLADE RUNNER 2049 and re-evaluate the original film and if they can separate the two as an individual work, while the hosts over at  EX RATED  have hopes that history will treat SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD with more kindness than its initial response. So join your hosts  Michael Denniston  of  PROJECTING FILM  and  David Hart  of  POP CULTURE CASE STUDY  as they discuss films that they have aged better or worse with the common thread that it is always our fault and never the filmmaker. Films discussed by our hosts coming to terms with their own idiocy: BOYHOOD CARRIE MISERY HIGH FIDELITY MY COUSIN VINNY Facebook / Instagram / Twitter : @markasplayedpod Theme music by  Josh Nolan 'til the Words Run Out from the album  Fair City Lights

MARK AS PLAYED: Blade Runner 2049 & IT and Fan Service

This week,  Andrew  of  AB FILM REVIEW  and  Jairo  of  THE TRUE BROMANCE FILM PODCAST  take their rightful places in the roles of film producers as they lend their incredible insight into what truly pleases hardcore fans of existing properties. Inspired by the conversations on the  ONE PERFECT POD  and  BOOK vs. MOVIE  podcasts, Jairo and Andrew dig into two of this year's most anticipated fan service films, IT and BLADE RUNNER 2049, and discuss the positives and negatives of fan service.

MARK AS PLAYED: mother! & A Ghost Story and Divisive Film

On this episode  Andrew  of  AB FILM REVIEW  and  Michael  of  PROJECTING FILM  try to heal the divide on Film Twitter with an episode on the charming MOTHER! and light hearted A GHOST STORY. To do so we highlight some of the great discussion currently being had on other movie podcasts  POP CULTURE CASE STUDY  and  THE FINAL CUT  in regards to these divisive films and the debate they encourage among cinephiles. As with everything else on the internet, this debate remains polite, engaging, and we reserve our insults for those that can't talk back. But if you would like to talk back, here we are!

MARK AS PLAYED: Stand by Me and Nostalgia for Summer Movie Season

It's our very first episode and we are already feeling nostalgic for our past. To do so we take a look at the summer movie classic STAND BY ME, while crediting the  INDOORSWOMEN PODCAST  and  PODSTALGIC  for kicking off our conversation on the state of summer movie season in 2017 and where we hope it to be in the future. Along the way we debate the merits of the year's biggest critical and box office hit WONDER WOMAN, an 80s update to Stephen King's IT, and the decision to start with two of the grumpiest film podcasters as the inaugural hosts to this rotating panel show. But for now, it's  Jairo  from  THE TRUE BROMANCE FILM PODCAST ,  Michael  from  PROJECTING FILM , and this is  MARK AS PLAYED . Facebook / Instagram / Twitter : @markasplayedpod
