Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastDid Someone Say Norm?: 194-195, 959, 458Our most "normal" episode yet sees Sean get political, Anthony reading Norm of the North Fandom articles while Sean gets political, and some light discussion of the relevant films.Anxiety surrounding the intersection of labor, political economy and personal life is the bread and butter of Ermanno Olmi, occasionally called "the Italian Jacques Tati." But this is an AMERICAN style podcast with sloppy grits and butter pies on the side, so we watch In the Heat of the Night and El Norte, two films about the dopeness of the American project and the great...2025-06-301h 53Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastP for Podcast: 192-193, 1075, 288TUBITUBIOur Wellesian foray comes to a close with this thunderous final installment!

I'm writing this the day Brian Wilson died, and I heard that he's playing Orson's titties like bongo drums to make beautiful music for Jesus while he sleeps. Almost makes you forget about the genocide in Gaza, eh?This season was incomplete without a Kurosawa, so we fix that. Throne of Blood is kind of an honorary Welles film too, because its based on Shakespeare and good. Jubilee is probably the coolest movie to describe...2025-06-021h 47Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastAntoine Doinel: French Poochie: 188-189, 322, 870Just noticing I misspelled Antoine Doinel's last name in the previous description. We really are set apart from the beasts by our capacity to learn, don't you think? A mistake is the most human thing of all, precisely because we can recognize it as such.Speaking of mistakes, Love on the Run concludes the 400 Blows-iverse with the correct message: there is nothing in life so beautiful that it isn't worth throwing away to smoke cigarettes and hook up with women who don't respect you.

Francois Truffaut, illustrious director of The 400 Blows, steps up to the plate with two Legacy Sequels featuring that film's protagonist...but now, Antoine Donel is grown, and he's going to make the society that has imprisoned him feel every one of those 400 blows. He accomplishes this task through casual sex. This is typically how the French accomplish their tasks.But we're far from done with Orson Welles.

Blue Velvet is the headliner, with the grimy/slimy Memories of Murder and the life-affirming/based Red Beard as the accompaniment. Also featuring a rare Anthony-less segment for vintage French laugh-along A Nous La Liberte! So if you somehow love the podcast while hating 50% of the hosts, this episode is for you!

We got Japanese Olympics, Vietnamese wars, and Normal freaks. Speaking of freaks, there's the Elephant Man too. Wow he's scary. The movie is basically about what if there was a monster so scary it made you want to scream. David Lynch's mind is too damn twisted for me sometimes.

Here in Chicago, we've got bright blue skies with intermittent clouds. It rained last night, and it might rain again. Temperature is 57 degrees Fahrenheit, 14 degrees Celsius. Anthony, Sean, and Tyler are beginning their series on my films with 1977's Eraserhead. Accompanying this are the films George Washington, a nostalgic meditation on tragedy and childhood, and The Horse's Mouth, a comedic British film starring the man from the Star Wars. No, not that one. And not him either. Tyler has selected Moonage Daydream as his pick this week.

2024-05-131h 41Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastThe Kongalog: 837Anthony and Sean inaugurate another season with a dectuple-header of Poland's finest in brutalist humanism: the Dekalog...But this time, we're headed to the beach! Join us for cocktails at the seaside longue as we peruse the grim grey landscapers of a crumbling post-soviet state! Ponder with us the miracle of the Polish finally learning how to not only screw in a lightbulb, but how to make a full movie! Sun's out guns out! We mean that completely literally!

He shakes his head free of his dreams of Stan Lee, of John Lennon, of Frenchmen and their Mise en scène...faint, now, and fading. The guard smirks through the bars. "Get yourself up. It's time."
Silent observers of every creed and station encircle the courtyard, bound together in reverence as the prisoner is escorted to the gallows frame. The executioner extends his hand. The prisoner takes it. His killer's face is waxy and grave.
Death's apparatus is wound about the prisoner's neck. He opens h...2024-04-291h 46Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastGeneral Dadaqqatsi: 153, 640-642Wow. Our final four films of the season. How far we've come. I'm sure we give them the respect they deserve and don't waste time talking about Rupaul's Drag Race. I don't remember if we actually do that or not, but statistically, it is highly likely.
Anyway, we're doing documentaries this week! Sean's pick centers around one of history's minor monsters, while Anthony's triple header of Qatsi depicts the greatest monster of all...humankind. Woah. That was crazy. I can't believe I said something so smart. Season finale next week.
2024-04-171h 26Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastJacques Takis: 109-112This penultimate episode of ASE Season 1 sees Anthony and Sean engage in bloody battle with Jacques Tati, one of the most quirked up white boys to ever hail from the cursed kingdom of France.
Marlene Dietrich's classic-style Hollywood biopic "The Scarlet Empress" is a temporary roadblock, but soon enough we're hooting and hollering through the abstract antics of Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, Mon Oncle, and Playtime. Anthony gets a chance to lavish praise on a fresh favorite while Sean's heart warms marginally to the concept of comedy before 1980. What else could you ask for?
2024-04-081h 20Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastSean's Late for Dinner: 106-107, 1173, 576Goddammit Tyler, that's the ONE thing I don't want anyone calling me!!!!
Coup de Torchon poses a series of high-minded quandaries that Sean and Anthony may not be totally up to the task of dissecting, but Mona Lisa offsets that with enough bittersweet melodrama to get us hungry for more. Hollywood Shuffle's endearing goofiness and easy cleverness get us in a good enough mood to make it matter when Secret Sunshine rips our hearts right out.

Sean goes absolutely loco for dark theatrical masterwork Double Suicide. We welcome Stanley Kubrick to the ASE fold, though we're less than excited to sit through all three hours of his worst movie. Night and Fog is only about 40 minutes long, and the subject matter is similarly breezy! Naked Lunch further complicates Anthony's feelings on David Cronenberg. We'll get him one day.

Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastSamuel Fuller Up (ft. Sean Naughton): 102, 224, 445, 954Anthony and cohost Sean (Naughton) get to work finishing up the filmography of Samuel Fuller, perhaps best known for being totally ignored in favor of Max Landis in The Greatest Episode of all Time!
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie ushers us in with light whimsy before our Fuller triple header, which includes cold-war intrigue, sober diagnoses of racial politics, and a full clip of classic Western goodness. I love being the second best Sean on my own podcast

Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastLe Cinéma du Slow: 100-101, 281, 129Anthony and his concave co-host Sean take on 3 quiet, personal, sensitive works of art, each fine-tuned by visionary directors to provide profound insight into the universal human experience. So it's only fitting that we inaugurate the week with some funky ass white boys straight thuggin'! Tyler did not enjoy our opinions on the latter, but that's fine. What's he gonna do about it, edit the episodes so it makes me sound like I'm saying that I love high fiving Hitler?!?!? I'd like to see him try.

Peely and Jonesy squad up to take on the Archers' vintage rom-com I Know Where I'm Going, the Sirkified soap opera Written on the Wind, and vent their repressed rage through the subtly demonic To Sleep With Anger and Twitter(formerly X) dot com favorite 12 Angry Men.

Fiend without a Face is an old-style creature feature that doesn't impress, but Black Narcissus wastes no time in inducting Powell and Pressburger into the shortlist for our hall of fame. Something Wild rides the line between Blue Velvet and something else I can't really think of. Manila in the Claws of Light depicts an average day of mine when I'm in the Claws of Light.

This week made me think about how much I love cinema. Just a rogues gallery of styles, techniques, genres...this, to me, is what the podcast is all about. If you have any interest in visual art, you should try to have periods where you expose yourself to works as diverse as these. Thank you for listening everybody.

Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastEisenstein: A Russian Musical: 85, 87-89Anthony prepares a very special surprise for us this week, giving some sorely-needed Lin Manuel Miranda style flair to a triple header of Sergei Eisenstein's most iconic work!
We concur that Alexander Nevsky is propaganda done right, while Ivan the Terrible parts I and II showcase the tragic chad-to-warlock pipeline. Pygmalion finishes us off in more ways than one, but not in a nasty way. I guess I should clarify what I mean by that so no one gets the wrong idea: it finishes off the week, but also we get exhausted trying to find things to...2024-02-061h 31
Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastThe Curious George of Always See Everything: 81, 83-84, 91We've got a nice eclectic mix this week on Always See Everything. We approach Fellini's Variety Lights with mixed feelings, but The Harder They Come brings up the tempo. Yasujiro Ozu puts up a solid second outing with Good Morning, and The Blob finshes us off with an extravaganza of incredible practical effects, a whip-smart script, and a perfect sense of balancing the charms of 50's sci-fi with the advances in storytelling technology that we've honed over the intervening deca-oh fuck, never mind. We watched the original, not the remake. You'd think I would know that because I was...2024-01-241h 48

In our most anticipated outing yet, we tackle the greatest works of this giant of the medium, this titan of comedy, this deity of all things entertainment. I won't waste your time by struggling to capture the enormity of his achievements in the feeble trappings of the written word: this simply needs to be seen to be believed. We also watched Police Story 2 and Limelight.

And God Created Woman gives us so little to talk about that we are FORCED at GUNPOINT to think about using Ditto as a...I won't say it here. You can just listen to the thing.

Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastBustin' Makes Me Feel Good: 75-76, 389, 937It's quite a grab bag this week as we mix Kevin Smith, David Lean, martial arts, and Yugoslvian sex cinema. You know what they say, four great tastes that taste great together! Everybody always says that, especially about these specific four tastes!
Our ostensible review of Chasing Amy is much more focused on a psychoanalytic deconstruction of Kevin Smith, but we pull it together for the gothic melancholy of Brief Encounter. W.R.: Mysteries of the organism mostly goes over our heads, so it's a nice feeling to settle into familiar territory (to Sean at least) with...2023-12-192h 07

Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastThe M Word Pass: 66-70This week, it's a straight shot through spines 66-70 as we tackle the various pretensions of Jean Cocteau's Orphic Trilogy before squaring up in single combat against the son of God himself!
Blood of a Poet begins us on a delightful journey of impeccable effects and fairy-tale whimsy, and the roller coaster peaks with Cocteau's reimagining of the Orpheus myth. By Testament of Orpheus we're a little worn down, but thankfully Scorsese' Last Temptation of Christ is there to scoop us up and take us to heaven for an eternity of bliss at His Father's right hand.2023-11-262h 07

So focused is he on making it to the first day of class at Stan Lee Memorial High that he neglects to look around the corner as he turns-and slams straight into Oleszkiewicz-senpai! Ahn, how embarrassing! But the upperclassman is gracious, and assures the frantic Sean that no harm was done...just as he notices a Pulp Fiction pin on his Kouhai's backpack.

Finally, after 30 episodes, we decide to go where no movie podcast has ever gone before, and cover a black and white film (or four). Yes, we know, they’re OLD and BORING, but through our incredible cinematic insight we allow you to parse the hidden value of these dusty, crusty old relics of cinema’s past. Take our hand, we have such sights to show you…

Autumn Sonata sees a Bergman crossover the likes of which have never been seen, while Life of Brian affords both hosts the ability to flex their knowledge of the good book. Our selections double down on the pumpkin spice spooky season vibes: the rich color and sweeping melodrama of All that Heaven Allows pairs with the delightfully devilish (and shockingly girlboss) Haxan to bid farewell to the Halloween season and solemnly shepherd us into the long, dark...2023-11-061h 44

Horror is the name of the game this time, and on the ASE feed we’ve recruited Brent and Dan of Shriek Previews to help us talk about two of our favorites: Nobuhiko Obayashi’s House and Frank Capra’s Arsenic and Old Lace. We get down to business with plenty of discussion about what makes a horror movie and whether the genre doesn't get enough credit in the collection…until we get bored of that and start talking about minions and Oppenheimer. We have fun, don't...2023-10-291h 46Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastThe Curious Charade of Being Alfred Hitchcock: 56-57, 476, 611We broadcast this episode from our deathbeds as we recall the halcyon days when we would climb inside a little wet portal, engage in thrilling spy adventures with Cary Grant in tow, and also talk about movies or whatever.
Hitchcock continues to whelm us with “spy” “”thriller”” the 39 steps, which we don't…hate? Charade picks up the pace quite a bit, much to our surprise and delight, all for Benjamin Button to come in and derail the vibe with his weird little old baby body. Being John Malkovich provokes a discussion about Charlie Kaufman while giving Sean the excuse to call something...2023-10-241h 38

We ooh and aah at the sights and sounds of Al Reinert's record of man's trip to the moon in For All Mankind, and then hem and haw over our feelings for Philip Kaufman's romantic epic The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Ride With the Devil takes us deeper into Ang Lee's filmography on the back of a (perhaps miscast) Tobey Maguire, and The Sweet Smell of Success worms...2023-10-161h 50

Thankfully, we’re able to get him patched up and we have a lovely discussion about four samurai classics!
Our fealty to lord Kurosawa doesn't stop us from feeling lukewarm about Yojimbo and Sanjuro. The Sword of Doom cleaves us right down the middle, with Sean maintaining it as a masterpiece and Anthony…thinking it's okay. Harakiri, though, leaves no room for doubt, and we unanimously indu...2023-10-082h 12

There's another guy there too, but don't worry too much about him.
We REALLY wish Jabberwocky was Holy Grail instead, and boy do we let you guys know it. We perk up for Brazil, widely seen as Gilliam’s best, though Anthony apparently isn't so sure. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen endures comparisons to Spongebob and One Piece on the way to becoming a house favorite, and Fear and Loathing in La...2023-10-022h 43
Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastHow to Survive as a Short King: 49-50, 1033, 1074We thought this was going to be a short one, we swear.
A mentally exhausted Anthony teams up with the Liberator of Rubicon to power through two pivotal Fellinis in the heartbreaking Nights of Cabiria and the Augustus Gloop-featuring And the Ship Sails On. Buster Keaton’s The Cameraman does a good job speaking for itself, so we mainly just talk about the monkey, because we know what good fucking radio is. We then immediately forget what good radio is as we go absolutely beast mode raving about Olivier Assayas’s Irma Vep, which is perhaps the stro...2023-09-262h 49

Black Orpheus serves up the classic combo of delightful dance parties and post-colonial guilt while Insomnia hooks us with the icy thrills only a true Nordic procedural can provide.

Their first catch is Peter Brook’s adaptation of Lord of the Flies, featuring an all star cast of grade-A child actors.

We come out the gate with Armageddon, which features a stacked cast helmed in part by perhaps Steve Buscemi's most evil character ever. Next is back-to-back Laurence Olivier with Henry V, much to the delight of Shakespeare fan Anthony, and Hamlet, much to the delight of tortured moping fan Sean. Finally, The Ro...2023-08-291h 41

Sean’s battle with the British continues in the equal parts whimsical and distressing Time Bandits, followed by a check in with our good friend Seijun Suzuki doing what he does best: making weird movies about cool assassins.

We frankly overestimated the amount of snow in some of these, but they're still (mostly) pretty great!
We struggle to find much to say about the proto-documentary Nanook of the North, but things pick up with the quiet majesty of Andrei Rublev, our first Tarkovsky! Following that benchmark, The Ice Storm jumpscares us with an all-star cast and a chilled injection of suburban ennui. We cap...2023-08-082h 15

Channeling every cent of student debt their English majors saddled them with, they start with David Lean’s Great Expectations and Oliver Twist for some good old fashioned British whimsy, lightly seasoned with anti-semitism (from the movie, not the hosts). Next up is the (very) loosely Henry IV/V based My Own Private Idaho, where we learn that APPARENTLY Sean isn't on the same page as everyone else when it comes to Keanu Reeves. Finally, we close the book on the week with a he...2023-07-302h 06

George Romero's classic Night of the Living Dead is next, and we DEFINITELY give one of the most important horror films of all time the respect it deserves.

They really break out their most masculine personas and complete themselves through raw dominant energy! (This is satire). In doing so they cover some of the big dogs in cinema: Godard's Alphaville, the always-on-that-grind Bob Hoskins in The Long Good Friday, De Niro and Scorsese doing an Alpha fusion to make Raging Bull, and Satyajit Ray bringing to life a man with enough smoldering strength to unleash his inner wolf spirit in The Hero!

Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastDespicable 𝝅: 21-22, 820, 748Anthony and Sean agree with each other a lot on Cronenburg's Dead Ringers, share opinions on David Lean's Summertime, and are on the same wavelength about two animated films, Watership Down and Fantastic Planet. For most podcasts that means a very boring episode but for the Always See Everything podcast, it means lots of loopy humor including getting our own spine number in the Criterion Collection, a city reveal for Anthony, and a lot of random=funny jokes.

Our rambling includes a really long rant about Wojacks, a lot of impression of British rockers, the introduction of a new reoccurring bit complete with its own super cool sound effect, and, for some reason, Flo Rida.

Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastThe Greatest Episode of All Time: 17-18, 103, 951The first rule of this episode is; you do not talk about this episode! Anthony and Sean have done what no podcast ever could by creating the greatest episode ever! How did they do it? By avoiding discussion of The Naked Kiss, having even less to say about The Lady Eve, arguing over True Stories, approaching Salò with a ten-foot pole, and then adding in extended discussions of Superman, Fight Club, Max Landis, and Carly Rae Jepsen, culminating in a huge fight about the nature of film criticism.

Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastSeanday Morning Seancast: Wizard So SoIt is said that tough times make hard men. Therefore, in this week without an episode of Always See Everything, it's only right that one of the world's hardest men takes matters into his own hands. In this very special episode, Sean will be your guiding light through one of the medium's most complex masterpieces, by perhaps its most haunted artist. Wizard So So: Fun Magical Adventure will challenge you, shock you, and possibly break you: but if nothing else, you will know what it means for a rat to have human teeth.

Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastThe Silence of the Swallows: 13-16In this all sequenced, no picks episode, Anthony and Sean tackle Best Picture winner The Silence of the Lambs and its cultural impact and then talk about the "very cool" Samurai Trilogy. Discussion over the Nostalgia Critic continues as Anthony reveals deeply hidden farm animal-related trauma of his own and Sean decides to take the podcast into his own hands by, for the first time in the history of the podcast, reading a book.

We got The Seventh Seal kicking off our old chess debate, This is Spinal Tap taking our spine numbers above even eleven, A Hard Day's Night making us decide which of the Beatles we are, The Velvet Underground forcing a brief deep dive into 60s rock, and Last Hurrah for Chivalry bringing us home with John Woo.

Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastJohn Woo's Doug Walker: 9-10, 39, 423For some reason, Anthony and Sean are obsessed with the Nostalgia Critic this week as they talk about the action-packed Hard Boiled, the animal-abuse-packed Walkabout, the Tarantino-inspiration-packed Tokyo Drifter, and the anti-American-sentiment-packed Walker. Listen to hear Sean address TikTok, Anthony seamlessly cut out a spicy joke his cohost made, and the great Walker Debate that shakes our podcast's core as we continue our John Woo miniseries.

Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastJohn Woo: Death in Jewoone: 7-8, 565, 1101Anthony and Sean pop the cork on a new miniseries on the films of John Woo! Along the way, tune in as they remember A Night to Remember, never forget The Killer, reminisce on Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator, and fourth thing Adam Sandler’s Uncut Gems. This week’s mayhem includes Metal Gear Solid references that explain why Sean’s mic quality is so bad, a personal anecdote about maybe the worst place to see Uncut Gems, and lots of Jim faces at the camera.

Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastKleptomania, Hair Excess, Sore Feet, Nuclear Breath...: 5-6, 44, 594Join the episode as old as time where Anthony and Sean basically ignore 400 Blows in favor of Beauty and the Beast theming; the Beauty is the Archers' classic The Red Shoes while the Beast takes the form of Japan's relationship to nuclear power in Godzilla. This week's bits include Sean comparing himself to every character, a brilliant Osmosis Jones metaphor, Anthony's sneaky ideas on how to take out Godzilla (or was it Gojira?), and an extended tangent about NBA tweets that has nothing to do with anything.

Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastThe 90s Time Traveler: 3-4, 479, 289Only 90s kids will get this episode! Western Civilization continues its deterioration as Anthony and Sean take their Criterion Collection mission through a Twilight Zone impression in Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes, the disturbing raunchiness of Amarcord, the mind-expanding philosophies of My Dinner With Andre, and the devastatingly accurate documentary work of Hoop Dreams. Discussion includes Sean roasting old-school comedy again, whether Volpina would give you a side quest, and a final joke that we promise we mean no offense by.

Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastFrench Guys and Samurai: 1-2, 306, 1057The epic journey begins. Anthony and Sean start their mission to complete the Criterion Collection by diving into four films with themes of honor in death, samurai code, and lonely guys killing dudes. This week is all about the boys as we talk about the very French The Grand Illusion, Kurosawa's renowned masterpiece Seven Samurai, and two very closely related films, Le Samourai and Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. Topics include whether people pretend to like chess, what our catchphrases should be, Timothee Chalamet's acting heir (it's Sean), whether movie scores were good before the 70s, which...2023-04-162h 38Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie PodcastIntroducing the Collection: Birth By SleepWelcome to Always See Everything, the greatest movie podcast of all time, where we rate, review, and riff on every single film in the Criterion Collection. Anthony, who aspires to be the greatest of all film critics, and Sean, who eats nerds like him for breakfast, are intent on completing this trek by watching four films every single week; two in order of spine number, and two determined by the hosts. But why the Criterion Collection? Join us as we discuss what makes a film canon.
