A Quality Interruption#454 Grass' DOWNFALL (2004)EPISODE #454-- We do some post-Andor manifesting by taking on the end-of-WWII drama DOWNFALL (2004). It's not just a meme, it's actually a pretty solid movie about Hitler blowing his brains out (and other things). TIME STAMPS: 3:49: We talk about the magic of Bruno Ganz (RIP) 5:05: We lament the current state of streaming 8:35: STAR WARS MENTIONED 27:00: We talk briefly about Wagner 23:00: ANDOR MENTIONED (again) 54:45: Cruz mentions the documentary BLIND SPOT (2002), on which much of this film is based, which is not to be confused with the other documentary BLINDSPOT (2024), which seems to be sour grapes about anti-genocide...2025-06-021h 13A Quality Interruption#451 Dick's PROSPECT (2018)EPISODE 451-- To commemorate both good Star Wars and Pedro Pascal's rapid ascent to stardom, we decided to take on the 2018 indie sci-fi film, PROSPECT from Zeke Earl and Chris Caldwell. It's not a great movie, but it's a fun one to think about. TIME STAMPS (approximately): 19:30-- We talk briefly about WARFARE (2025). 22:00-- Raymond Chandler mentioned. 42:30-- PAPER MOON (1973) and Ryan O'Neal being a massive, abusive scumbag discussed. 48:30-- We talk about ANATOMY OF A MURDER (1959) and the origins of the "simple southern lawyer." 50:35-- Cruz recommends SOLARIS (1972).

Today Cruz and James attempt to understand the impressionistic, indie cult horror classic, GANJA & HESS from 1973. We also mourn the passing of Gene Hackman, talking about THE FRENCH CONNECTION (1971), as well as Kon Ichikawa's THE BURMESE HARP (Cruz has been on an Ichikawa kick-- we can't blame him).

It's a good one. . . the episode, not the movie. . . actually, the movie is pretty good, too. It fits right in there, you know? We also talk about the Kollywood film JAILER (2023), the anime GHOST CAT ANZU (2024), and the classic film noir EXPERIMENT IN TERROR (1962). Lots of different movies.

It's the first and best movie of The Beatles. We talk rock n' roll, the 1960's, and Paul's terrible little ditties, among other things. It's a good one. We also talk the Miyazaki two-fer THE BOY AND THE HERON (2023) and MIYAZAKI AND THE HERON (2024), as well as Paul Schrader's 1984 masterpiece MISHIMA: A LIFE IN FOUR CHAPTERS and THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT (2022).

To celebrate this most hallowed of months, Cruz and James take on the cult classic from Cammell and Roeg: PERFORMANCE (1970), starring Mick Jagger and James Fox. It's a fun one. Very few accents in this one. We talk about queer theory, British acting families, and the legacy of The Rolling Stones. We also talk about THE BIKERIDERS (2024), GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: INNOCENCE (2004), Akira Kurosawa's underrated masterpiece, DERSU UZALA (1975).

And repurposed stock footage from some Roger Corman schlock (RIP). We're talking Peter Bogdonavich's TARGETS from 1968. We also talk about how a lot of old heads helped inspire the new (and also how Peter Bogdonavich was kind of a massive sack of garbage, human being-wise). We also talk about George Miller's BEYOND THUNDERDOME (1985) and FURIOSA (2024), as well as Michael Bay's own debut picture, BAD BOYS (1995).

Starring Nichelle Nichols, Yaphet Kotto, and Isaac Hayes (who contributes a score), Truck Turner is a perfect encapsulation of a time and a place and one of the scummiest movies we've ever reviewed (it's a masterpiece is what I'm saying). We also talk about THE NORTHMAN (2022), THE FRENCH DISPATCH (2021), ACROSS 110th STREET (1972), and FEMALE PRISONER #701: SCORPION (1972). Big week for bloody movies.
