TUMPTUMP [EP#387 – ASYLUM BLACKOUT]

It’s been a while, I feel like I start a lot of these this way.
2023 was a year and 3/4 if I may say. It felt like for a lot of it I was just coasting through it all focussing on so much more than just posting on the internet. While I promise podcasts were recorded I started to get exceedingly bad about releasing and editing. I hope to be better in 2024 on this front and be open about it all.So let’s start the year our right with our wrap of 2024. As per usual...2024-01-161h 54TUMPTUMP [EP#385 – BARDO: FALSE CHRONICLE OF A HANDFUL OF TRUTHS & APARAJITO]
It’s been a week and a bit. This episode turned around at a much faster pace than I imagined and I’m quite pleased with it all. We discuss the new Iñárritu film as well as push along with our progress on the Apu Trilogy, along with Douglas presenting his homework of trying his best to catch up with the class.
So hope you enjoy:

So podcast tales to be told here. We did the entire recording and when it was all said and done we realized that my cohosts were being recorded via their webcam and not their nice microphones we usually use. It’s crazy how things slip your mind sometimes.
While the audio isn’t the quality we usually put out I do still feel it’s there and beg your apologies for this error.
Otherwise it’s the same show now discussing the latest John Michael McDonagh film The Forgiven and much more.

So here we got together, in person no less, and recorded our thoughts on the best, and not so best, movies of 2021 into a small podcast dispatch.. So enjoy.

More to it we end our year with a pair of films that this podcast has been dying to watch all year. So sit back, and enjoy…

I guess what I’d want to ask is which member of the podcast is which character in Godzilla vs. King Kong? Am I Mothra? I’m so bad that I’m in the bad movie and not even a fighting character?
Anyways, with big monsters punching each other we had to weigh in on it all.

We are now deep into Aprill and coming to terms with the fact that 2021 isn’t showing that much improvement yet. Vaccines are going but honestly we need to speed this up a bit world.
But moving away from that at least we have a few extra movies to talk about streaming into our homes, including the release of Rose Glass’ Saint Maud to disturb our psyche. Or at least some of the pod’s pyshce. We also continue our Jia Zhangke marathon with his film Platform.
Enjoy…

Here we are with a much shorter episode of the podcast than normal. In all honestly we had a bit of a recording issue and half of the show just magically disappeared… However, the main review and our cotinuation of the marathon of Jia Zhangke were salvagable and here they are.
We discuss Xiao Wu, Jia Zhangke’s first film, as well as Abner Pastoll’s A Good Woman is Hard to Find.

With randomness ocurring in the world I got a message and with that a show was birthed. Ryan McNeil of The Matinee decided to come on over to talk with me about his deep thoughts on the world of Marvel’s latest TV venture over at their streaming platform, WandaVision.
In a world where superheros have to kill robots and titans what if they just wanted to stay home and feel sad while mind controlling a whole town?
So sit back and enjoy our hour long conversation spoilers and all.

Well the year didn’t start how I wanted. I wanted us to be on schedule and delivering podcasts fast and furiously. Let the FAMILY jokes bounce around.
Anyways with one episode now lost to the ether of bad recording sessions and this one showing up later I guess TUMP remains on brand.
Here we are discussing documentaries about people naval gazing in the world of cinema and us also beginning our marathon of Jia Zhangke’s films with his effort from 2006, Still Life.
So enjoy:

It’s wild to think that we’re about to begin the final quarter of the season that is 2020. What twists and turns will it bring us.
With this year definitively being the year of streaming films we continue our elaborate journey of Netflix’s library with the latest film from Kaufman, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, in a podcast that I continually mistitle the film to … about Ending Things. Somehow that made me so angry editing this podcast.

We take another look into the horrors of war, except instead of walking through battles of soldiers or the horrors of the victims of the direct aggressors we’re forced to follow a child’s experience being left alone and thrown from one scenario of despair to another as he moves through the world. This is the film of The Painted Bird.
We also begin our marathon of David Lean’s films, the early years at least.

We return with another off brand episode that may just start lengthening our recordings as we really start off disucssing the Disney+/Mulan news and then leading into a couple of films including the 1978 film The Cheap Detective.

We do discuss a foreign film that focusses on the drama of child custody. At the same time however we do a deep dive into the world of Hamilton and The Last of Us Part 2. So please be warned of massive...2020-07-172h 55TUMPTUMP [EP#341 – AND THEN WE DANCED]

Merab (Levan Gelbakhiani) is a dancer who finally has his shot at becoming a main troupe member so he can travel the world, while at the same time being wrapped up in a love story with the new recruit. So basically we’re in store for the Flashdance of Georgia…
