The PrestigeMADEINUSA (2005) & DislocationThe next stop on our journey through Latin America is 2005’s MADEINUSA. After some reviews, we talk about how this film is itself a disturbing experience for the viewers, to what extent it presents the main character as a ‘femme fatale', and why it works as a complete disruption of the ‘white saviour’ myth.
Next Up
The next film in our Latin American Odyssey is Colombia’s EL PASEO (2010).

The PrestigeCITY OF GOD (2002) & Corrupt SpaceThe title for this episode comes from something Rob says towards the end of this chat, which I think sums up this film brilliantly. After reviews (spoilers: we loved it), we talk about a number of things to do with the incredible artifice of this film, and its brutality, and (strangely enough) its use of architecture.

The Prestige200! - 300 (2007) & Fourteen YearsSome six years (not five, Rob! we’ve been doing this aaaaages) after our first episode — and fourteen years after the…’discussion’ that prompted us to start doing this podcast (eventually), we’re revisiting Zach Snyder’s 2007 epic 300. After we read through that fourteen-year-old transcript, we talk about how our views of the film have changed, its roots in Spartan propaganda, and the aesthetics of a piece that were very much of its time.

After some reviews, we delve into discussions of Disney ‘humanisation’ (sometimes, you just want bad guys to be bad guys), the fact that this movie is aimed at a very different audience from the original, the changes that are made to make this more of a human film, and how honour and ch'i (two big concepts here) mean very different things for different (gendered) characters.

The PrestigeBONNIE AND CLYDE (1967) & IconoclasmThis week we discuss the landmark historical film BONNIE AND CLYDE. Our reviews are followed by discussions about how this film was a cultural jumping-off point, and how it’s filled with examples of iconoclastically pushing back against society.
Next Time
The next in our heist mini-series is the original THE ITALIAN JOB, from 1969.

The PrestigeRIFIFI (1955) & A Code of HonourThis week, we begin our heist movies mini-season with the 1955 French film noir RIFIFI. After our usual reviews, we get into what this film is really about — including a bit of a history lesson from Rob — as well as discussing how this film is less ‘shiny’ than many of the films it spawned, and is all the better for it.
Next Time
The next heist movie on our list is the original OCEAN’S ELEVEN (1960).

The PrestigeBOOKSMART (2019) & HeartbreakThe final film in our ‘high school’ sub-season is the Olivia Wilde film from last year BOOKSMART. After some reviews, we talk about the effectiveness of films that might not be ‘for us’ as an audience, and the division of high school films into movies about nostalgia, coming of age, or romance — and this discussion leads into a retrospective on the sub-season as a whole, for which this movie serves as an excellent conclusion, in a number of senses.

The PrestigeSING STREET (2016) & CreativityThis week we discuss the 2016 musical-comedy-drama-fantasy (who knows?) SING STREET. After some reviews, we talk about the ways in which this is a musical, the use of emotion on film, and how this is a creatively structured film about creative structure (this may or may not make sense). Oh, and how this is a love story, but the female lead isn’t even in the top 3 romantic protagonists.
Next Time
The last film of our high school miniseries is the 2019 film BOOKSMART.

The PrestigeTHE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER (2012) & Hopeful RealismIt’s the return of Sam! And we’re picking up where we left off, with a continuation of our mini-season of high school movies. This week, in a change (as explained in the episode) to the film we had been going to feature, it’s Emma Watson’s 2012 (post-HP) breakout role. After some reviews, we talk about how, refreshingly, this is a teen romance that’s actually not about its central relationship; the experiences of its female lead, both on-screen and off-; and filmed depictions of little griefs and in-spite-of-it-all positivity (something that we definitely need at the moment...2020-05-1840 minSoft Boy Hard BodySeventeenBeen A Long Time Coming2020-05-0100 minThe Space Jam ContinuumS3E28 - Nut HoardersWe're SO late, but we're back.

The PrestigeST TRINIANS (2007) & UnityThis week’s film is the 2007 re-boot of the anarchic ST. TRINIAN’S franchise. Post-reviews, we talk about different takes on the male gaze, on this film as a period piece, and on the way in which such films can be heightened versions of universal truths.

The PrestigeMEAN GIRLS (2004) & LimitsThis week our high school season has reached the cultural zenith (no shade: it’s a culturally important film!) of MEAN GIRLS (2004). After some reviews, we talk about meta-commentaries on teenage slang, the refreshing absence of strong male characters, and why this might be a film about leaving the limitations of high school days behind.
Next Time
Our next film in the high school genre is the 2007 version of ST. TRINIAN’S.

The Prestige10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU (1999) and FunOur focus this week is the now 21-year-old (gulp) film, 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. We follow some reviews with some discussion about the iconic status of this film, the multiple (and sometimes surprising!) similarities to Shakespeare, and the fact that it’s sometimes just good fun to put politics aside and — like Kat — enjoy yourself.
( This is a great point, and I (Sam) am wishing I made it during the episode. Damn.)
Next Time
The next high school film we’re watching is the 2004 movie MEAN GIRLS.
