Find out in our conversation why Mike Tyson punched him in the face, what it was like to work with Christoph Maria Herbst on “Ein Fest fürs Leben”, what Tommy Wiseau forced him to do and what it's like to grow up in the same village as James Dean!

Here’s what that movie is about: Tom, a young guy who is obsessed with falling in love, “falls in love” (and I’m doing air quotes) with Summer. The film follows the 500 days of Tom being “in love”—again, air quotes—with Summer. During that time, Tom wants nothing more than a true relationship with Summer, even though Summer from the start tells him she doesn’t want a relationship. When they break up, Tom is in shambles, especially after he finds out...

As such, there are a lot of personal touches in the film that a lot of us Millennials dealt with growing up that are hard to describe but, oddly, easy to relate to. Couple that with some smart humor and you’ve got a pretty amazing film. The plot follows Christine McPherson, or Lady Bird, as s...

The Big Lebowski: Giving Approximately 280 Fucks About Philosophy and Politics
Intro by Brandon The Big Lebowski is unabashedly a 90s comedy. It’s the mix of dark comedy and apathy that would hardly be around in a decade. In fact, it’s such a 90s film that it’s hard to really see the appeal if you didn’t spend your formative teenage or young adult years in the 90s. For this 90s kid, though, it’s a solid classic. This is in my top three comedies of all time, along with A Fish Called Wanda and Airplane!, two classics from the 80s. The plot of this fi...

There Will Be Blood: Capitalism, Religion, and Invisible Illness
Intro by Maria The 2007 film There Will Be Blood acts like a master class in how to create an award-winning drama—it’s hard to argue against grandiose shots of oil country that so perfectly characterize Daniel and his drive for money and competition. The movie, which is loosely based on Upton Sinclair’s novel Oil!, tells the story of Daniel Plainview, played intensely by Daniel Day-Lewis. Daniel is looking to get rich as fast as he can, and so he develops his story—a story of a family man only looking to better communities, not brea...

Serial Mom: Our Movie Mascot, and the Psychology of the Death Penalty
Intro by Maria This next movie is one of my favorite films of all time. It’s the John Waters film Serial Mom. The movie is from 1994, which as I explain during the episode, is apparently the defining movie year for me, your host—or one of your hosts—Maria Milazzo, and really a kind of important year for me in terms of mental health, as that’s when I was 14 years old, and if you’ve been listening to this podcast, you know that was around the time I was going through some trauma. But unlike...

The King’s Speech: Stammering is No Joke
Intro by Brandon Think of a movie character with a stutter. Got it? OK. What’s this character like? Are they a hero? What role do they play in the story? Hold onto that for a minute. Today, we’re taking a look at the 2010 Best Picture winner The King’s Speech. It’s a slow-moving British drama about King George VI, who must lead the nation in the midst of royal turnover and a world war breaking out. There’s one problem. King George speaks with a stammer, and with the advent of radio, this becom...

Monster: Poverty, Sex Work, and Mental Health
Intro by Maria Monster is a 2003 film that tells the story of Aileen Wuornos, or Lee Wuornos, a real-life serial killer who was active in Florida in 1989 and 1990. The film doesn’t get into the nitty gritty details of Lee’s capture, trial, and eventual execution, like some dramas that focus on serial killers do; instead, the film gives us a brief snapshot of Lee’s humanity, particularly in the form of a woman named Selby. Lee and Selby fall in love—pretty quickly it seems, but we talk more about that in the episode. We learn...

Boyhood: 12 Years of Puberty, Personality, and Abuse
Intro by Maria We’re gathered here today to talk about the 2014 film Boyhood, directed by Richard Linklater and starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette. The movie’s plot is simple: We follow the protagonist, Mason Jr., as he grows from a boy, age 6, to adulthood, age 18—over the span of 12 years. When I say over the span of 12 years, Linklater literally filmed the movie for a few weeks at a time each year for 12 years. This tactic may seem gimmicky, but as Brandon and I discuss, it works for this film to give it an unp...

Secretary: 50 Shades Better Than Other BDSM Movies (with guests Marion and Kim!)
Intro written by Brandon, performed by Maria BDSM used to be a pretty taboo topic in film—until the godawful Fifty Shades of Grey exploited it as an artless debacle. But back in 2002, serious portrayals were a pretty foreign topic in cinema. Most of the time when it showed up in film, it was the punchline to a raunchy joke. In 2002, Secretary gave us a serious look at what a real BDSM relationship could look like, and it’s surprisingly a lot more sweet and romantic—and empowering—than most other BDSM films would lead you to believe...

Movies I Watch When I’m Depressed
Hey folks, Brandon Gregory here with a minisode to give ourselves a little break for the holidays. I’m flying solo today, but Maria’s going to be back with us next episode. Listeners of this show know that both Maria and I struggle with depression. And it sounds so ominous when you say it like that—“struggle with depression”—but now that I’m almost 40 years old, I’ve come to accept this about myself. While it can still be crippling at times, there are also times when depression is just this normal part of my life. Like, oh...

Grave of the Fireflies: A Soul-Crushing Wartime Film
Intro by Brandon Grave of the Fireflies is a 1988 anime film which tells the story of two Japanese children orphaned after an American firebombing raid during World War II. It’s widely regarded as one of the saddest movies of all time. Or at least on Reddit. That’s where I read that. Anyway, it’s not just sad—it’s soul-crushing. Which of course meant that Maria and I loved it. This is a bit of a unique film. There are a lot of war films, but not many from a civilian’s perspective, and far fewe...
