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

Episode 177 We are reaching that time of year when studios start giving us their best films in the hopes that the powers that be will latch onto these films and lavish them with awards. This week, we're taking a look at a film that is sure to garner accolades, as it is made by well regarded director, Tomas Alfredson, and has a stellar cast including Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Ferguson, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and J.K. Simmons. The Snowman is surely going to be one of the front runners for best picture, right? MOVIES DISCUSSED THIS WEEK: Professor Marston and the Wonder Women , No Estamos Solos , The Snowman , Sleepy Hollow , The Return of the Living Dead

Two weeks in a row we have  Dave Hart  of  Pop Culture Case Study  to help us figure out our fixation with WONDER WOMAN, other than the fact that it's a very likable movie. We compare that summer crowd pleaser to the crowded love story in the new release PROFESSOR MARSTON AND THE WONDER WOMEN. This discussion focuses on the origin of this iconic superhero character and how that has shifted over time, but more importantly if it shifts our opinion of the character as seen in the Patty Jenkins film. Also because we can't behave ourselves, we pitch a sequel with Chris Pine flying the invisible jet in a very special way.

JANE  is the story of how Jane Goodall became Jane Goodall – using footage shot by future husband Hugo van Lawick of her first experiences in Gombe, Tanzinia in the 1960’s. Previously thought to be lost forever, the footage was only recently discovered in a storage unit, and has been now masterfully intercut with interviews of present-day Jane Goodall to provide an in-depth portrait of her life. Directed by Bret Morgen ( THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE ,  MONTAGUE OF HECK ) the documentary also features an enchanting original score by Philip Glass. Today I had the chance to chat with Jeff Hasler the executive vice president of production and development for National Geographic Studios, he is responsible for original scripted and non-scripted television, including the documentary series Chain of Command and the feature film documentary, JANE . He has previously held positions in network and production companies, serving as SVP of development for Optomen Productions US, lea

On this episode we make the usual demands from independent cinema: more sex, more money, and more attention for our podcast. If you're reading this we've succeeded in at least one of those things. However the biggest win for us is the arrival of a new film from Angus MacLachlan, ABUNDANT ACREAGE AVAILABLE. And while both Chris and Mike agree that it is one of the best films of 2017, they gravitated to two different themes and we explain them in our respective selections of Tamara Jenkins' THE SAVAGES and Gus Van Sant's PROMISED LAND. Come for the enthusiasm of two cinephiles raving over something great, and stick around for the usual bitterness that sets in after we shout into the film podcast void.
