Charles BotenstenWhy Men Are Leaving Jordan Peterson… and Returning to ChurchMen are leaving Jordan Peterson and returning to the Catholic Church. This video explores why modern masculinity, faith, and the self-help movement are clashing—and what's next.In this video, I share my journey as a man who once followed the self-help path popularized by Jordan Peterson, only to find it lacking in spiritual fulfillment. As more men seek deeper truth, we're witnessing a powerful return to traditional faith, especially Catholicism.Why are men outgrowing secular masculinity? What’s drawing them away from modern gurus and back into the arms of the Church? This is more than a trend—it's a...2025-06-1111 min
A Fresh Face in Hell with Jonathan EvisonCharles Peterson's NirvanaToday I talk with an old friend from the halcyon days of grunge, photographer Charles Peterson. Charles is known for capturing some of the most iconic B&W shots of that era, many of which were used by Sub Pop for album cover art including, Soundgarden's Screaming Life EP and Ultramega OK as well as Mudhoney's Superfuzz Bigmuff. Charles was also instrumental in capturing the meteoric rise of Nirvana from 1989 - 1992. His Nirvana collection is currently on display at the Tacoma Art Museum under the title, "Charles Peterson's Nirvana". You can also get the book at Minor Ma...2025-06-0457 min

It’s our 100th episode so we’re watching Criterion spine number 100. And we brought in our first 3-peat all-star guest and super fan Shelley to talk with us all about the legacy of Beastie Boys music videos. You know, all the classics like… uh… “Intergalatic Spaceman”, “Rampage”, and my favorite “3 DJs and 1 MC.” If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Bill Forsyth’s Local Hero (1983).2021-05-241h 34Random Acts of CinemaLD144 and 1017 - The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1989) and The Fabulous Baron Munchausen (1962)As it turns out, the coexistence of two movies dedicated to the exploits of the fictionalized eighteenth-century German adventurer Baron Munchausen far from exclude one another from narrative authority. So for Mike’s birthday episode, why not just just do a double episode treating them like parts of an anthology that took a couple of centuries to make? We do just that with Karel Zeman’s 1962 The Fabulous Baron Munchausen and Terry Gilliam’s The Adventures of Baron Munchausen of 1989. It’s Zeman’s brilliantly stylized suturing of live action and handmade animation vs. Gilliam’s inventive production design set against...2021-05-171h 15Random Acts of CinemaLD133 - Bad Day at Black RockIs it a western/film noir mash-up, a subtly coded red scare-era warning, or a a heart-on-its-sleeve anti-racism morality tale? It definitely has a little of each, but is there enough of any to give Spencer Tracy’s oddly elderly WWII veteran a big enough stage to convince a desert town with a shameful secret to inspire a nation to live up to its principles? Not if Robert Ryan, Ernest Borgnine, and Lee Marvin have anything to do with it.

Of course he can. But can he achieve true excellence in these tasks without succumbing to his most base impulses? Now that’s the question of the film. To answer this, Fosse sends up everyone including himself in this wry, dazzling, mean, funny, and devastating take down of a business like no other.

Mark Robson’s epic movie about three women finding their ways through the obstacle-ridden world of entertainment, offers a soapy and campy take on ambition and those living in the orbit of successful women. Barbara Parkins, Patty Duke, and Sharon Tate protagonize against a series of professional rivals, embattled romances, addictions, medical calamities, and oh-so-many personal demons to reach both dizzying highs and devastating lows in this 1960s classic(?).

Enhance Life with MusicEp. 91: What music do the sounds of ice and glaciers make?

These captured sounds were then used to create a musical tribute to glaciers, and have also been made available to others to use. Sonic explorer, composer, and audio engineer Charles Van Kirk says, "There is a huge sense of urgency to make some kind of artistic tribute to these glaciers, now before they totally recede away."

And a little 1970s Filipino cinema is just what we needed to break us out of the endless Criterion pattern of American/French/English/Japanese. With this - celebrated director Lino Brocka’s adaptation of a novel following a young man named Julio (played by Rafael Roco Jr.) who searches for his missing girlfriend through the poverty and exploitative working conditions of the big city - we’re given a compelling human drama as our introduction. If you’d l...2021-04-121h 35Random Acts of Cinema254 - The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976)What’s better than a 1970s, grimy, sun-baked, L.A.-based neo-noir about a well-intentioned stripclub owner (played with all of the nervous swagger of a Ben Gazzara in his prime) with a gambling problem who gets in too deep with the mob? Two for the price of one, that’s what. This week we’re talking about both the theatrical release and unexpectedly shorter director’s cut of John Cassavetes’ under-appreciated classic.

He plays detective John Kimble, an intimidating and violent cop who must transition to the gentler persona and methods of a small-town kindergarten teacher in order to uncover the identities of a mother (Penelope Ann Miller) and child (Christian and Joseph Cousins) hiding from the real target: the sinister criminal Cullen Crisp (Richard Tyson).

Except that this time no one is dead; she's just divorced. And rather than mourning her way from one brilliant visual to another to satisfy a decidedly male cinephile's gaze, Claire Denis directs Binoche (playing Isabelle) and a sequence of her self-absorbed lovers, with realism and nuanced perspective. Binoche, now in middle age, is no less bea...2021-03-151h 24Random Acts of Cinema973 - My Brilliant Career (1979)This week we are joined by podcaster Alexei Toliopolous (@ThisisAlexei) of Total Reboot, Finding Desperado, and Finding Drago to discuss his pick: Australian director Gillian Armstrong's first feature film My Brilliant Career.

And this is a big one. Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins' adapt the stage musical (which is - sort of - and adaptation of Romeo and Juliet) wherein two rival gangs sing and dance through fights and fight-dances and dance-fights.

Dustin Hoffman plays Michael Dorsey, a talented, but difficult, and under appreciated actor who financial needs and uncompromising nature lead him to take a role as a woman, played by a woman. Becoming an unexpected feminist icon, Michael further challenges societal demands on the accepted gender identities in 1980s America. Hard-hitting stuff.

All this is made at once familiar and deeply profound with sublime photography and a pulsing Philip Glass score. Godfrey Reggio’s first entry in the “qatsi” trilogy revels in the splendor of isolation and anonymity subjected onto humanity with our embrace of technology. Except everything looks delightfully(?) early 80s, so there might be some unintended nostalgia buttons being pressed for our hosts.2021-02-081h 26Random Acts of Cinema725 - Eraserhead (1977)Get ready, Randy has picked another big one for us. And he actually picked the first film by a celebrated director for once. David Lynch's Eraserhead is such a desperately ambitious, risk-everything film that one is tempted to call it "groundbreaking" except for the fact that it's so unique in its vision and execution that you'd be hard pressed to name what it broke ground for. Jack Nance plays Henry, newly saddled with his helpless, mutated, infant offspring and coming face to face with surreal visions and manifestations of his darkest fears and fantasies. And there's a lady in the...2021-02-011h 15

Hard bitten detective Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine)has traveled through space in his Ford Galaxy to Alphaville, to uncover the mystery of a missing scientist. He finds a a strange, sterile, funhouse mirror of 1965 Paris, ruled by a cold omnipresent computer.

You get director Paul Thomas Anderson's collaboration with Adam Sandler who plays Barry, a brow-beaten introvert who must contend with the demands of his bullying sisters, a phone-sex blackmail ring, and an unlikely love affair with the all-too understanding and equally smitten Lena, played by Emily Watson.

Oh, and they con then kill a bunch of women across the United States, because these is actually a shockingly brutal ripped-from-the-headlines true crime film.

Sammy Rice (played by David Farrah) is a scientist working for an ill-defined problem-solving crew that the British government relies on for technical advice during the Second World War. Will his ever-suffering girl Susan (Kathleen Byron) give him the support he needs to battle his addictions, his injuries, Byzantine office politics, and a series of nefarious unexplored bombs dropped by German planes across the English countryside?

Repeat that about four more times and you have one of the most iconic pieces of 1990s European cinema. Does this formula hold up for two jaded cinephiles at the end of 2020? The first installment of Krzysztof Kieslowski's ambitious Three Colours Trilogy doesn't pull any punches with his breathless character study of a woman rediscovering human connection after an unthinkable tragedy.

And the question today is whether or not this picaresque travel film about a married couple (played by Jean Yanne and Mireille Darc) braving the traffic jam, car crash, and cannibal-strewn French countryside to murder a family member in get their inheritance early is a good one or a bad one. It’s even more to the point of the film that the central p...2020-12-211h 23Random Acts of Cinema739 - The American Friend (1977)When you imagine the lead character in the Talented Mr. Ripley, do you picture a wild-eyed Dennis Hopper in coveralls and a cowboy hat wandering around 1977 Hamburg? No? Well apparently Wim Wenders was the only director bold enough to take Patricia Highsmith’s legendary anti-hero in that...uh...specific direction. But if that has scared you off, don’t worry: the movie is mostly about Bruno Ganz rocking a real sexy 1970s dad look while he clumsily tries his hand as a mob hitman. And it’s beautiful.

Ok, we get it, but what if we told you it was directed by Mike Leigh and it features early virtuoso performances by Tim Roth and Gary Oldman? And that they aren’t even the best part? Hint: it’s a acerbic but tender characterization by Phil Daniels as a wise-ass brother navigating the dole, neighborhood skinheads, nagging parents, patronizing relatives, unemployment, and a society and government that has all but given up him. If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film...2020-12-071h 14Random Acts of Cinema405 - The Threepenny Opera (1931)Come join us as we discuss director G. W.

Gang boss Mackie Messer (aka Mack the Knife played by Rudolf Forster) plots to marry Polly Peachum (Carola Neher) daughter of the beggar king, while his scorned lover Jenny (Lotte Lenya) seeks to have him arrested by police chief Tiger Brown (Reinhold Schunzel). With a few jaunty tunes and innumerable betrayals and getaways, this German language exploration of class , power, and poverty paints a compelling portrait of pre-War politics.

Divine smirks, whines, and stomps his way into our hearts as Dawn Davenport, following her sordid decline from dissatisfied youth to art experiment/serial killer. If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing G. W. Pabst's The Threepenny Opera (1931).2020-11-231h 27
The Winning Brand PodcastS3 114 Sell Your Business for $2 Million with Chad PetersonEPISODE 114 SUMMARYIn today's episode, we talk with Chad Peterson. Chad is an expert business broker and the founder of Peterson Acquisitions, an award-winning M&A firm. Mr Peterson is a self-made entrepreneur of which he sold six of own businesses; his strategies and processes of selling businesses and his reputation came into play. He also speaks about how he rose up from the trenches that he fell into on his way to his success. EPISODE SHOW NOTES:[00:22] Introduction to our guest speaker Chad Peterson [04:28] Figuring out who you are is crucial...2020-11-1934 minRandom Acts of Cinema281 - Jules And Jim (1962)Francois Truffaut (clearly famous mostly because he's mentioned in our theme song) crafts an oddly gentle love-triangle period piece, full of joy, friendship, understanding, frustration, and tragedy. A kind of bohemian fusion of Edith Wharton and Henry James. Jules (Oskar Werner) and Jim (Henri Sarre) play two fast friends living in France on the precipice of World War I. A chance encounter with anarchist Catherine (preposterously absent from the title, and brilliantly played by Jeanne Moreau) brings joy and turmoil as the three navigate the early 20th century in this masterpiece of the French New Wave. 2020-11-161h 10Random Acts of CinemaLD54 - Zulu (1964)It looks like Randy finally decided to pick for us a good, old-fashioned, big-budget, mid-century, historical war epic. Michael Caine plays Peter O’Toole playing David Bowie as Michael Caine in the Role of Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead alongside Stanley Baker as Lieutenant John Chard: both men of hesitant bravery competing with one another for the command of a small regiment of British soldiers defending against a massive Zulu army in 1870s Natal. As you might imagine, there’s quite a lot to unpack here. If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be di...2020-11-091h 30Random Acts of Cinema119 - Withnail & I (1987)Hey maaaan... remember the 60s? Doesn’t matter, because this isn’t really that movie. Unless your idea of the decade is an hilariously acerbic Richard E. Grant (as the eponymous Withnail) drunkenly rampaging through the English countryside screaming at river fish and ladies in tea shops. Paul McGann (...and I) is there to suffer along for the ride, giving and taking timeless quotes and stumbling into one soul-crushing circumstance after another. Maybe these two booze-addled out-of-work actors really didn’t need a weekend in the country to get away from their rat-infested city day-to-day, but thank god they went anyw...2020-11-021h 22

That is, if we can handle all of these darn thrills and chills. But with Benjamin Christensen's seminal half-documentary/half-historical fiction approach to his study on the history of medieval witchcraft, a rapid-fire mix of visual delights and horrors leads the audience into a terrifying world of witches, potions, curses, torture, mad monks, and Satan himself. And get this: Christensen dares to use his topic to address contemporary social and mental health concerns. Horror movies can't do...2020-10-261h 27Random Acts of Cinema546 - Five Easy Pieces (1970)Will we be doing the entire episode doing our best Jack Nicholson impressions, or will we give this very serious movie the very serious attention it deserves? The only way to find out is to join us as we discuss director Bob Rafelson's character study of modern alienation starring the man himself. If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Benjamin Christensen's Haxan (1922) just in time for Halloween!2020-10-181h 20Random Acts of CinemaLD335 - Shine (1996)Oh boy. Here's a blast from the not-so-nostalgic past. Geoffrey Rush plays piano virtuoso David Helfgott, in Scott Hick's most 90s biopic of all 90s biopics. Talent and determination are hindered by a domineering father and an unbridled ambition to be the best. But the resulting mental breakdown isn't enough to stop the spirit of a genius. If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Bob Rafelson's Five Easy Pieces (1970). 2020-10-121h 17Random Acts of Cinema440 - Brand Upon The Brain! (2006)Oh! The past! The past! Now we've done it. We've made mother cross. Imagine that sort of text and occasional narration over a feature length, black and white, largely-silent film comprised of quick cuts, sporadic sound effects, and haunting imagery. Guy Maddin's experimental film is about an adult Guy (Erik Steffen Maas) recalling his childhood (as young Guy, played by Sullivan Brown) on an island, where his domineering mother (Gretchen Krich) ran an orphanage where they extracted a youth-bringing nectar from the skulls of their charges. He and his rebellious sister Sis (Maya Lawson) are visited by alluring and int...2020-10-051h 21Random Acts of Cinema233 - Stray Dog (1949)With Akira Kurosawa’s (ever heard of him?) seminal detective procedural, rookie detective Murakami (Toshiro Mifune - ever heard of him?) and worldly but hardly hard-bitten senior detective Sato (Takashi Shimura - ever heard of him?!) hunt through the post-war Tokyo underworld looking for a stolen handgun, hoping to stop an escalating murder-spree in the sweltering summer heat. Among the topics discussed: linen suits, cameras pointed at the sun, and it should be called Stray Dogs (with an “s”) right? If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing G...2020-09-281h 09Random Acts of CinemaLD024 - Young And Innocent (1937)We're running from the law again with our boy Hitch(cock). This time with an earlier film in his esteemed oeuvre as we join two equally young and equally innocent fugitives - Erica (Nova Pilbeam) and Robert (Derrick De Marney) - in a race to prove their...uh...youth and innocence. Anyway, it's a romantic and comedic romp through the English countryside. Witty, adorable, thrilling, tender, and, well, pretty racist it turns out (spoiler alert.) If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Akira Kurosawa's Stray Dog (1949).2020-09-211h 18Random Acts of Cinema210 - Winter Light (1963)We've been dancing around this subject long enough. And how could we not when the Criterion Collection is our subject of inquiry? But we've finally hit the nail on the head. We've got ourselves a 100% genuine mid-century Scandinavian crisis-of-faith movie. And by director Ingmar Bergman no less. A pastor named Tomas (played by perfect-pastor-haircut Gunnar Björnstrand) quietly and with tremendous reserve, runs amok through a small Swedish town, strewing existential crises in his wake. The local schoolmistress Märta (played by bespectacled and cardiganed Ingrid Thulin) dotes with pointless abandon on Tomas' black hole of despair and nihilism. Hurray!2020-09-141h 29Random Acts of Cinema172 - Pépé Le Moko (1937)Our first Jean Gabin film! He plays the eponymous thief, clever and charming, hiding out in the maze-like Casbah of Algiers - a hive of scum and villainy if there ever was one under the direction of Julien Duvivier. Local and French police are helpless to smoke out Pépé and his merciless but loyal cohort until Gaby, a beautiful tourist tourist played by Mirielle Balin, catches his eye. Obsession and desperation slowly turn his sanctuary into a prison, and the lackadaisically acute Inspector Slimane (played by the be-fezzed Lucas Gridoux) knows just how to lay his trap. Noir, tourism...2020-09-071h 37Random Acts of Cinema698 - King of the Hill (1993)Steven Soderbergh really surprised us with this 1993 coming-of-age story set on the mean streets of 1930s St. Louis. Because we had never heard of it. Hard to believe that this nostalgia-bomb was missed by the two 90s kid hosts of this podcast. Based on the memoirs A. E. Hotchner, the film stars Jesse Bradford as Aaron, left to fend for himself against an onslaught of petty cops, bullies, bellboys, repo men, and so on as poverty and illness scattered his family during the Great Depression. A surprising cast of all-stars and future stars round out this period drama. If...2020-08-311h 12Random Acts of Cinema663 - Shoah (1985)Note: This episode’s discussion and the film we are discussing, explicitly recounts the brutal methods, unimaginable suffering, and lingering trauma of the Holocaust. Sensitive listeners may want to skip this one and join us next week. The hosts of Random Acts of Cinema shy away neither from films of exceptional length nor films with difficult subject matter. But the double impact of both in Claude Lanzmann’s Holocaust documentary Shoah would seem to really put our constitutions to the test. But what we found was a confident and meticulously paced film, whose use of interview-based testimonies of surv...2020-08-241h 41Random Acts of Cinema333 - Fists in the Pocket (1965)Dissatisfied youth, repressed sexuality, and nihilism running rampant in the dysfunctional Italian family unit is the theme of the week on Random Acts of Cinema. Director Marco Bellocchio’s cruel, bitter little film about Alessandro (played by Lou Castel) thinning out the ranks of his crumbling family through self-obsessed cruelty and murder is punctuated by brilliant photography, powerful acting, and a frantic score by Ennio Morricone. If you would like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah (1985).2020-08-171h 16Random Acts of Cinema066 - The Orphic Trilogy (1930, 1950, and 1959)With his nearly 30-years-in-the-making thematic trilogy, director/poet Jean Cocteau uses innovative film techniques and diverse strategies steeped in personal and classical mythology to consider the needs, methods, obstacles, and curse of the creative mind and the creative life. First with his groundbreaking The Blood of a Poet (1930), non-narrative sequencing and "not surrealist" (but totally surrealist) imagery presents a groundbreaking experimental film. Orpheus (1950) is a dreamy retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth set in a kind of poet-crazed pre-teenybopper contemporary France. Many of the characters and themes return in The Testament of Orpheus (1959), the final installment but with Coc...2020-08-101h 23Random Acts of Cinema453 - Chungking Express (1994)We are joined by Michael Patrick Jann, film and television writer/director and member of The State to discuss his personal pick: Wong Kar-wai’s frenetic romantic masterpiece Chungking Express. Two stories, each with a lovesick cop (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung) and a self-possessed woman (Brigitte Lin and Faye Wong) navigating Hong Kong and exploring themes of love, heartbreak, street food, and obsession. Funny, adorable, charming, tender, and sexy - our protagonists pursue meaningful if momentary connections in the alienating modern world. But, like, in a gorgeous and experimentally shot kind of way. Check out Michael’s aweso...2020-08-031h 29Random Acts of Cinema1014 - Roma (2018)Alfonso Cuarón's drama-behind-the-drama has all of the trappings of a semi-autobiographical period piece. Meticulously recreated clothing, cars, furniture, street settings, and contemporaneous political turmoil are set largely in the eponymous neighborhood as a failing marriage takes its toll on a family. But of course the real protagonist is one of the maids, Cleo (played by Yalitza Aparicio) who faces her own obstacles of poverty, abandonment, unwanted pregnancy, and murderous rioters. Her unassuming strength allows her to persevere while simultaneously serving as caretaker, savior, and backbone of her household. If you'd like to watch ahead for next week...2020-07-271h 28Random Acts of Cinema1036 - The Big Boss (1971)In the promotional material for Lo Wei’s The Big Boss (also known by a few other film titles) break-out star Bruce Lee is seen flying through the air, shirt half-torn from his body, contorted into a now-iconic running jump kick, certain to be delivered to the face of some punk to glorious effect. But does the movie pay-off with this acrobatic feat of violence, as promised on the poster? Yeah: it does. Because Bruce Lee is a movie star. If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing A...2020-07-201h 14Random Acts of Cinema1007 - Until The End of the World (1991)It's a miracle I even made it out of Longwood alive. This town full of men with big mouths and no guts. I mean if you can just picture it: Wim Wenders made a nearly 5 hour long, globetrotting movie in 1991 predicting the technology, geopolitical concerns, and digital addictions of the 21st century with remarkable foresight. Solveig Dommartin heads up a luminous cast, redressed in 90s future noir, that makes use of gorgeous settings and beautiful photography to explore a magnetic woman's nihilistic race to find meaning and purpose in a forever-changing world. If you'd like to watch ahe...2020-07-131h 27Random Acts of Cinema569 - The Makioka Sisters (1983)Director Kon Ichikawa's The Makioka Sisters, based on the book by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, catalogs the domestic dramas of the eponymous four women and their family circle in 1930s Japan. Matchmaking, marriage, and the juggling of suitors for the youngest two siblings become complicated by stubborn personalities, dwindling status in society, and the shame of past scandals. The demanding pressure of modernity and a changing Japan beleaguer the family into choices to either compromise or even abandoning the mores of traditional culture. If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Wim...2020-07-061h 19

Exceptionally graphic depictions of violence, murder, racism, and brutal sexual assault are both celebrated and trivialized in Remy Belvaux's Man Bites Dog. Listeners who are sensitive to such content and the frank discussion of it are strongly encouraged not to listen to this episode. The hosts disliked the film and disliked talking about the film.

So, you know when fed-up people call fascists on their practices and they respond by saying they aren’t “technically” fascists? So then they are pressured to walk back their language a little bit and the criticism gets all muddied on a point of semantics based on strict political definitions?

We’re joined by longtime friend and Godzilla-expert Angie to help us make sense of this eighth(!) entry into the franchise. This time, there’s a baby Godzilla, a remote weather experiment station on a pacific island, a lady who has been hiding in a cave for some reason, and zero stakes. So it’s a pretty distant echo of the original 1954 masterpiece. Still, there’s something in it’s...2020-06-011h 21Random Acts of Cinema301 - An Angel At My Table (1990) with AJ and Richard of Cult PoptureJane Campion’s filmed adaptation of the memoirs of celebrated New Zealand poet and author Janet Frame offers a desperately poignant and often devastating account of childhood and womanhood in the twentieth century. Played by three different actors at three different periods of her life, Frame’s tender spirit and social anxieties make for a life of modestly monumental triumphs and gut-wrenching personal tragedies. We are joined by AJ and Richard of Cult Popture to help us understand the New-Zealand-of-it-all.

Thompson's acclaimed memoir is a diatribe against Nixonian America, account of a motorcycle race, drug travelogue, and only now the kind of advertisement that the Las Vegas chamber of commerce could get behind. But it's really the story of Thompson's proxy Raoul Duke's (played by Johnny Depp channeling a sort of mumbly Jim Carrey) desperately trying to channel the destructive energy of his drug buddy/lawyer Dr. Gonzo (played by Benicio del Toro channeling some kind of potbellied, vomit soaked, sweat demon.)

Jean Arthur and Cary Grant put on some saucy hats and deliver just that it is this action/adventure story about the daring lives of... uh... postal service pilots and the women who love them. Don't worry: Howard Hawks figures out how to make this work with the combination of thrilling special effects, edge-of-your seat danger, and themes of courage, friendship, love, and self-sacrifice.

A delightful and beloved French farce. Edouard Molinaro’s classic tale of two gay nightclub owners’ attempt to put on a show of conservative domesticity in order to trick a right-wing politician into allowing their son to marry his daughter isn’t exactly timeless - in that it is SO set in 1978 - but it’s charm and hilarious send-up of straight gender performance make it one for the ages.

And in uncharacteristic fashion, we’re actually taking a look at the earlier film of a celebrated director rather than some weird, later period film. The randomness of our system was bound to get it right eventually. And the result is a gripping 90s thriller about three Scottish flat mates descending into madness, paranoia, and betrayal after the discovery of a bag full of a cash and their decision to dispose of the corpse of its former owner.

It’s also, strangely, a kind of sequel to two different and previously unrelated Lang films: Mabuse the Gambler (1922) and M (1931). In other words, this is a perfect place for us to start with this director.
