We decide to do a meet cute, break up, and grand gesture the Tom Cruise way, which involves a plane crash, a car chase, and a motorcycle in a race with the bulls, along with copious amounts of drugs and guns in the 2010 film KNIGHT AND DAY. And yet it still remains adorable. To keep it that way, your lovable scamp of a host Mike recruits fellow Cruise enthusiast,  Jason Michael  of  Atlantic Screen Connection , to "debate" the ethics of this romcom with his curmudgeon coastal elite of a co-host Dave. Of course if that's not strong enough, we have the charm of Cameron Diaz to forgive Mr. Cruise for all of his spycraft sins and perhaps our selection of this film for our podcast.

2017 Directed by: Angus MacLachlan Starring: Amy Ryan, Terry Kinney, Francis Guinan, Max Gail, and Steve Coulter A week after Tracy (Amy Ryan) and Jesse (Terry Kinney) bury their father on the family tobacco farm, three strangers show up to make a claim on the land. MacLachlan’s deeply personal follow-up to 2014’s GOODBYE TO ALL THAT is an intimate meditation on grief and legacy. Tracy and Jesse see the visitors in a different light. To Tracy, the visitors are interlopers who have no right to her family’s farm. Nothing more than a nuisance, who she asks to leave in subtle and overt ways. Jesse, a man of faith, views this as a chance at redemption. A way to right a wrong in their families past. People react to death in all kinds of ways, and the death of a parent can be especially volatile. It isn’t uncommon for one person to feel a range of emotions in a single day while another remains in shock and disbelief . MacLachlan beautifully captures this dichotomy in the

On this episode we have our own Battle of the Sexes, but we skip the tennis nonsense and stick to what we know best: Ryan Gosling shirtless. In this film, Steve Carell plays a complacent family man whose world is upended when his wife, played by Julianne Moore, asks for a divorce and he finds himself lost, single, and thankfully under the tutelage of Gosling's ladykiller. However both men influence each other which leads to a grand romantic gesture... and our episode with guest  Jairo  of the  True Bromance Film Podcast . We promise, that unlike Gosling, our guest will have no influence on us and that he did not record this podcast shirtless.

Xavier Grobet is a cinematographer known for his work on Focus (2015), Monster Hous e (2006) and I Love You Phillip Morris (2009) I had him on the show to discuss his latest collaboration with writer/director Mike White, Brad's Status . We also discuss the challenges in working with handheld cameras, how he lays out the visual strategy for each film, and (of course) how to create a convincing shot of adolescents snorting cocaine. Brad Sloan has a satisfying career and a comfortable life in suburban California, but it's not quite what he imagined during his glory days in college. Sloan keeps comparing his life with those of his four college friends, wondering what it would be like to have their well-paying and glamorous jobs. When circumstances force Brad to reconnect with his buddies, he soon begins to question whether he has failed, or is in some ways the most successful of them all.  Brad's Status  is currently playing nationwide and it marks Mike White's st

During the early days of World War II, with the fall of France imminent, Britain faces its darkest hour as the threat of invasion looms.  As the seemingly unstoppable Nazi forces advance, and with the Allied army cornered on the beaches of Dunkirk, the fate of Western Europe hangs on the leadership of the newly-appointed British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman).  While maneuvering his political rivals, he must confront the ultimate choice: negotiate with Hitler and save the British people at a terrible cost or rally the nation and fight on against incredible odds.  Directed by Joe Wright, DARKEST HOUR is the dramatic and inspiring story of four weeks in 1940 during which Churchill’s courage to lead changed the course of world history. Director : Joe Wright (“Atonement,” “Hanna,” “Pride & Prejudice,” “Anna Karenina”) Writer : Anthony McCarten (“The Theory of Everything”) Cast : Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Lily James, Stephen Dillan

From the mind of celebrated horror author Stephen King, the man behind such classic terror tales as THE SHINING , CARRIE, and IT , comes one of his most iconic offerings- CHILDREN OF THE CORN . This was a film that prior to this release I'd only seen on VHS. I remember renting this film when I was about 11 or 12 and it was the most brutal film I'd ever seen. The meat slicer scene thoroughly scarred my impressionable young psyche. I buy sliced lunch meat from the deli every Saturday and I always think about this film when I watch the butcher do his thing. Revisiting this film close to 30 years later, I went in with some trepidation. I didn't want to undo the impression this film had left on me. I didn't want to see it as a schlocky B film with dated effects and TV movie of the week acting. Fortunately, CHILDREN OF THE CORN rose to the occasion and stood up surprisingly well. A painstaking 2K restoration from the original negative gives the film a polished look th

We decide to do a bit of traveling with new release THIRST STREET, which has us discussing home invasion films of a different sort. One involves the perpetually anxious Hugh Grant having his routine put upon by a beautiful and successful movie star, and the other involves this podcast's personal sex icon of Mike White. If that's not a strange enough mashup for you... well, come back next episode! But you'll miss  Dan  from  Get Reel Movies  as he reacts to the trailer for this new sex thriller, as well as the usual "obnoxious Americans." Which one can only presume will be the words used in our very first iTunes review. ALSO: Sexy obnoxious Americans. Just wanted to reiterate that for the SEO results we are after with this film podcast. Facebook / Twitter / Instagram : @projectingfilm Hosts: Chris  @Following_Films  Mike  @warmachinehorse
