The Love of Cinema"Memento": Films of 2000 + "The Conjuring: Last Rites" & "Caught Stealing" Mini-ReviewsThis week, the boys head back to the end to discuss Christopher Nolan’s mind-and-time-melding noir, “Memento”. The random year generator spun 2000, previously visited by us to discuss “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and “Chopper”, so we recap the film events and world news of the year before getting into our featured conversation. Be sure to listen to John’s mini-review of the fourth “The Conjuring” film, the final film for our beloved movie Warrens, and Dave’s experience seeing “Caught Stealing” at AMC Times Square.

2025-09-101h 26The Love of Cinema"The 39 Steps": Films of 1935 + "Caught Stealing" & "Jaws" 50th AnniversaryThis week, we head back to a time of monochrome and unreliable box office receipts to discuss 1935’s “The 39 Steps”. Alfred Hitchcock was 10 years and 22 films deep by this point in his directing career, and really caught his groove, to the point where this film is ranked the #4 British film by the BFI. We’ve talked about the top 3 on the show (1 & 2 in detail), and about 8 Hitchcocks, but grab a beer and hear what we have to say about this one! Also, listen to John talk about “Jaws” 50th anniversary & “Caught Stealing”.

The EnsemblistThe Band's Visit (feat. George Abud, Sharone Sayegh)The Band’s Visit is one of those Broadway musicals that does not have an ensemble, per se, but in which every actor is working together to present a cohesive point of view. Yes, there are leading roles and supporting roles, but more than in most musicals the entire company of actors, musicians, and actor/musicians create a mood, a feeling and a sense of place. And so we honor their remarkable run on Broadway with this show, featuring some of our favorite stories about The Band’s Visit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit...

Not only does George Abud think the concept of success is “bullshit” (his words!), but the audio’s also…kind of weird. So. Listen at your own peril. But do listen. George is a delight!
