Giving their personal assessment of each movie, they dig into the history of the free-spirited boy who refuses to grow up, what makes it such an enduring tale and the sadness inherent in this story of pirates and fairies and a ticking crocodile.

A personal favorite of both Kessler and Stella, this is one of the most enthusiastic & passionate conversations ever recorded for the podcast.
Set 80,000 in the past, Annaud’s film, despite being positioned as high-class awards bait in Europe, plays like a rollicking and funny adventure film with more in common with The Vikings or a classic Hollywood swashbuckler than a dour and serious look at humanity’s beginning.

Perhaps it speaks to the film's timeless artistic energy and bold experimentation that there's always something to say about the camera techniques, radical editing and unique blending of avant-garde and documentary styles which come together using "no titles, no scenario, no actors, no sets" to create an "absolute language of cinema."

Since its release in 1990, Verhoeven's consciousness-expanding roller coaster ride has remained a mind-blowing anomaly, a fusion of high-minded philosophical science fiction and pulse-pounding big Hollywood action that thrilled audiences even as it explored the dangers of sinking too far into escapist fantasy.
