Let's Take FiveJohn Ford Wrap-UpAnother Five is over! Eric and Austin went through some of John Ford's greatest hits from Stagecoach to The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

They also rank the Five and announce their new subject. Get excited! John Ford's Five 1) Stagecoach 2) The Grapes of Wrath 3) My Darling Clementine 4) The Searchers 5) The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Let's Take FiveThe Man Who Shot Liberty ValanceIn the end of his career, John Ford made one more powerhouse movie by teaming up two of the greatest actors of the generation. Neither John Wayne or Jimmy Stewart play Liberty Valance, but maybe one of them was the man who shot him. The guys dive into what Ford is saying about his western legacy, the end of an era and the myth of morality. But it wouldn't be a successful take on a team-up if they didn't have a team-up of their own. Enter...Eric's dad, Ray Martindale! John Ford's Five 1) S...

Let's Take FiveTabloidThe guys are back and they're here to discuss the most peculiar of Errol Morris' films. It is the true(?) story of Joyce McKinney, the tabloid star. She became famous as the beauty queen who kidnapped her Mormon boyfriend and had a weekend love affair. He said he was shackled and it was against her will. She says it was a fairy tale. And it only gets weirder from there. Austin and Eric describe Morris' lack of interest in finding the truth, how exhausting Joyce's story is, and what is up with the cloned dogs. Er...

Let's Take FiveGates of HeavenWhile they have covered a few documentaries, the guys have never taken on a full documentarian. Enter Errol Morris who instantly made waves with his fascinating and odd documentary about the people who make pet cemeteries. Gates of Heaven examines the people who are looking for closure for their loved ones, the success and failures of making such a business, and gives us one of the greatest film monologues. They are joined by Zach Bundy, an actor who worked with Eric at an animal hospital to share their unique perspective. Errol Morris' Five 1) G...

Let's Take FiveDays of HeavenOnce again, we are watching a Terrence Malick film about a murderer on the run. What is remarkable is that Days of Heaven feels like it's by the same artist as Badlands, but it never really feels like he's repeating himself. This is the tale of a romantic lying duo who works on a wheat farm run by Sam Shepherd. Yet Eric argues, they are not the real focus on this movie. Instead it's by a clever observer who is fated to be let down by those she trusts... Terrence Malick's Five 1) Badlands

Let's Take FiveEpisode #86 -- Bob le FlambeurHappy New Year! Eric and Austin are here to welcome you into 2018 the only way they know how. With a super cool French director from the 1960s. They begin with Bob le Flambeur, the slick noir film about an aged gambler who tries a new heist while his unlucky streak continues. It's a film that seems to have inspired modern films like Ocean's 11 and maybe even The Wrestler.

Let's Take FiveGene Kelly Wrap-UpAfter five weeks, it's time for Austin and Eric to see what they learned. In one final discussion, the guys decide if Gene Kelly succeeds in old fashioned Hollywood escapism or he's too distracting to be escapist. They also talk about some of the films they didn't cover like On the Town and That's Entertainment Part II. Also they (awkwardly) announce their next Five... Gene Kelly's Five 1) An American in Paris 2) Singin' in the Rain 3) It's Always Fair Weather 4) The Young Girls of Rochefort 5) Xanadu

Let's Take FiveEpisode #78 -- It's Always Fair WeatherThe weirdest Five continues as Austin tests Eric's patience with Gene Kelly with the film that tested Hollywood's patience with Gene Kelly: It's Always Fair Weather. It is the story of three soldiers who reunite after ten years to discover they aren't the friends they once knew. It's experimental and not always perfect, but it goes for some really bold ideas. Perhaps it'll work better as a sci-fi film...? Gene Kelly's Five 1) An American in Paris 2) Singin' in the Rain 3) It's Always Fair Weather 4) The Young Girls o...

Let's Take FiveEpisode #75 -- StalkerIt's The Wizard of Oz meets Jaws in a science fiction zone created by aliens. This can only be Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker. Eric and Austin break down one of the greatest films that Eric has seen on this podcast as three men risk everything to go to a mysterious Room that can fulfill their greatest desire. The guys dive into what that could entail and how Tarkovksy makes the ordinary so creepy and dangerous. Andrei Tarkovsky's Five 1) Ivan's Childhood 2) Andrei Rublev 3) Solaris 4) The Mirror 5) Stalker
2017-10-0640 min
Let's Take FiveEpisode #74 -- The MirrorAndrei Tarkovsky's The Mirror often doesn't feel like a film, but like a trip to the museum or a poem. It moves in its own path that sometimes feels indecipherable to Austin and Eric, but it's also never a burden on the experience. The guys struggle to find the right words to say about this movie, but it's definitely worth watching.

Let's Take FiveEpisode #69 -- Short CutsFor this episode about Short Cuts, Eric and Austin were tempted to create several different perspectives of the film that all interconnected and created a feeling of dread. Instead perhaps the only way it can be clear is if they took a step back from it all. Anywho! The guys review this Robert Altman film that he made almost two decades after Nashville where he adapted an entire collection of Raymond Carver stories with so many brilliant actors. Robert Altman's Five 1) MASH 2) McCabe & Mrs. Miller 3) Nashville 4) Short Cu...

Also they're pretty sure that weird mute was Jeff Goldblum. Eric and Austin look into the 1975 classic Robert Altman film, Nashville, and learn what it means when Altman takes his naturalism to a new level.

Let's Take FiveEpisode #67 -- McCabe & Mrs. MillerMcCabe & Mrs. Miller is always written that way to highlight that the relationship between the two titular characters is a business one. It's like calling a production duo Lugar & Mr. Martindale. However, that bond is tested this episode as Eric is under the weather and they record the show in different rooms. Is it a metaphor for how these two survive a Robert Altman anti-western or does it end up a perfect piece of art? No middle ground.

Let's Take FiveEpisode #59 -- MaverickIf Eric gets to be nostalgic for Batman, Austin gets to be nostalgic for...Maverick? Yes, the guys devote a half hour devoted to the Richard Donner western comedy starring Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster. It's a silly world where actors get a lot to play with, but Eric seems to suggest that there are also flaws in the movie. That may be true, but he's not writing the paragraph. It's definitely a great showcase for Jodie Foster to show her comedic timing. Jodie Foster's Five 1) Taxi Driver 2) The Accused ...

Let's Take FiveEpisode #57 -- The AccusedFilms about rape remain some of the most traumatic stories in the medium. In 1988, The Accused got a lot of attention for Jodie Foster's incredible performance and its approach to legally prosecute rapists. Austin and Eric discuss the impressive way that Foster formed her character, how the film remains very relevant and the ways it doesn't. More than usual, you can take these two straight white guy's perspective with a grain of salt, but we would love to continue the conversation.

Austin and Eric start their Five with a look at the first major studio superhero film, the adaptation of the Superman comics. They hired two Oscar winning actors, they got John Williams right after Star Wars and even got a surprising screenwriter. Was this enough to give justice to the character created to defend justice?

Let's Take FiveRichard Linklater Wrap-UpEric went into this Five not sure what was going to happen and found himself going through a whole roller coaster of emotions. Austin and Eric go through the films they watched and discussed more of Richard Linklater's fine work. Most importantly, since recording the Before Sunrise episode Eric has ignored Austin's advice and quickly watched the rest of the set. So there are some spoilers on their mini-discussion of Before Sunset and Before Midnight. Also, enough of this quiet talking--it's time for a radical new Five!

Is it counting every second or is it about the important times you remember. We hit this milestone with Richard Linklater's epic Boyhood. 13 years in the making as the crew kept returning to Texas to tell the next stage of this family's life. Not in terms of all the big moment, but of the ones that really make a quiet impact. Join Austin and Eric as they see how the film works beyond the structure and what made certain...

Let's Take FiveEpisode #49 -- School of RockRecess is in session! Two and two make Five! In perhaps their weirdest pick, Austin and Eric are here to discuss Richard Linklater's School of Rock. Is this film worthy of a half hour discussion? It actually is! As Richard Linklater went to the studios, he still brought his flair for passion, affection and character to a movie about imposter teacher. Also it's really charming.

Who are better to discuss Richard Linklater's beloved high school film Dazed and Confused than two guys who are out of college? Yet, Eric proposes that this may be the best time to watch this. The guys examine how Linklater has evolved his craft since Slacker by adding more of a story and more of a thesis around the characters he's examining.

The trio look at what acts the satire works the best and what the film is saying about reformation in the prison system.

Let's Take FiveBONUS: Senator Richard Lugar InterviewThis week Austin and Eric discussed Dr. Strangelove, perhaps the movie everybody thinks about when they think of nuclear war. While Stanley Kubrick used the fear of nuclear consequences for dark comedy, it still made the guys think about the reality of the nuclear weapons in the real world. What exactly is our relationship between the US and Russia when it comes to these weapons? So we sat down with one of the world's leading experts on the topic. Richard Lugar is a six-term US Senator who has spent almost all of his career working on nuclear d...

Why does a movie about a nuclear doomsday hit the funny bone so well? Austin and Eric look into how Kubrick worked with his actors and how he staged such an intensely dramatic comedy. Also they announce a very special bonus episode that will come out tomorrow in relation to this film... Stanley Kubrick's Five 1) The Killing 2) Paths of Glory 3) Dr. Strangelove 4) 2001: A...

The second film in their Stanley Kubrick Five is very different from last week's noir caper as leadership is questioned in the heat of war. It's senseless, cruel and also beautifully made.

Let's Take FiveEpisode #40 -- Inside OutTo say that Austin and Eric have feelings about this movie is less of an attempt to be clever and more of a description of how we experience all of these films. Inside Out is an exploration into the mind of a young girl and the feelings that are working hard to give her the greatest life possible. While everybody has Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust within them at all times, what emotion was the leading the charge for Austin and Eric on this film? Find out here!
