2d ago15:37

15:37

Fifteen Minute Fridays episode #65 Ilana Golan. Most entrepreneurs strive for success, but the pursuit of perfection often holds them back.

The Rainmaker 36:01

6d ago36:01

36:01

All of the nearly three hundred episodes we’ve done so far have been enthusiastic celebrations of artists whose work we admire so greatly that we had to invent a podcast to talk about it. But in this very strange episode, we talk about a film so awful in so many ways that we are baffled by how it came from the same man who directed four unquestiona…

12d ago12:15

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World 30:14

13d ago30:14

30:14

Every movie in our current moment, regardless of quality, seems to have spawned sequels, prequels, and reboots; in this episode, we lament that the one film that we wish had been the beginning of a series didn’t make enough money to do so. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, Peter Weir’s 2003 adaptation of Patrick O’Brien’s novels, is …

Miller's Crossing 34:03

27d ago34:03

34:03

The opening scene of Miller’s Crossing (1990) tells the viewer that the film to follow is about friendship, character, and ethics–and it is, but done in such a way that the first-time viewer cannot fully appreciate the ways in which its protagonist, Tom Reagan (Gabriel Byrne), acts as if these are his private religion: a set of beliefs so secret th…

The Big Heat 30:24

1M ago30:24

30:24

Just as horror films are filled with characters who never seem quite enough afraid, crime films are filled with protagonists who, at the end of the movie, never seem quite enough affected by what they have seen or unleashed. Not here. Fritz Lang’s The Big Heat (1953) follows the attempts of one cop, Steve Bannion (Glenn Ford), to clean up his depar…

Inside Llewyn Davis 32:32

2M ago32:32

32:32

Authenticity is the factor that lets an artist connect with an audience. All the great performers have (or had) it: the Clancy Brothers make listeners feel Irish, Bob Dylan brings them along into his lifelong grudge against the world, and Pete Seeger makes them feel like they know what it’s like to be on the losing end of things, even if they are l…

Mastering Pricing Strategy w/ Robin Waite (FMF #63) 29:54

2M ago29:54

29:54

Fifteen Minute Fridays episode #63 Robin Waite. Pricing is one of the most challenging aspects of running a business, especially for coaches, consultants, and freelancers.

A Serious Man 39:06

3M ago39:06

39:06

A Serious Man (2009) may seem much different from the Coens’ adaptation of No Country for Old Men, which they released two years earlier. But they both concern a likable man who finds himself posing questions that the universe–or any of its weisest men–cannot answer. And even if there are glimpses of answers to the question “What does Hashem, or Go…

True Believer 27:46

3M ago27:46

27:46

Actors win awards and gain our admiration when they convince us that they have “become” someone else–it’s what we mean when we say that so-and-so “inhabits” a role. But that’s not the only benchmark: a good actor is also someone whose statements are interesting to hear and whose voice engages the listener, whether or not we “believe” that he’s real…

Blow Out 26:36

3M ago26:36

26:36

Political noise is as American as baseball and apple pie and in this election season it’s impossible to tune it out completely: it’s on our televisions, radios, phones, and computers. Brian DePalma’s Blow Out (1981) follows a man who is able to hear something underneath all the noise: a perfect character to think about this election season. The rea…

The Fly 25:13

3M ago25:13

25:13

There’s a moment in The Fly (1986) in which Seth Brundle–well into his transformation into Brundlefly–explains that he must vomit on a donut before eating it. The camera cuts away to show Geena Davis’s reaction, which is the same reaction David Cronenberg evokes in his viewers throughout the film. Grotesque yet surprisingly moving, The Fly is more …

Manchester by the Sea 33:23

3M ago33:23

33:23

You can’t judge a book by its cover or a movie by its poster. When Mike suggested Manchester by the Sea (2016) for the pod, Dan hooted and derided his co-host as a lover of Hallmark Holiday Classics. But after he watched Kenneth Lonergan’s brutal and sobering examination of unquenchable grief, he admitted his mistake. Join us for a conversation abo…

Out of Sight 23:56

4M ago23:56

23:56

The second-best movie based on an Elmore Leonard novel, Out of Sight (1998) does what Netflix and other platforms try to do all the time: throw a bunch of stars together in an effort to increase the quality of the “content.” But those half-assed efforts never come close to Out of Sight, which has a roster of A-list actors, a terrific screenplay bas…

Nightmares Around Elm Street with Emily Greene 13:14

Kramer vs. Kramer 25:42

4M ago25:42

25:42

Robert Benton’s 1979 interior drama turned out to be one of the biggest films of the 70s. While we might appreciate Dustn Hoffman now more often than we watch his movies, this marked another example of him owning the decade. It’s his movie, despite the attempt to give balance to the two Kramers fighting for the legal and moral right to raise their …

As Good as It Gets 29:24

4M ago29:24

29:24

For years, Dan avoided this movie, fearing it was like a Hallmark Holiday Classic or Very Special Episode of Mad About You. But after our episode on Broadcast News, Mike insisted Dan give it a watch. Join us as we talk about the ways in which the film surfs just above the sharks of sentimentality that threaten it at every plot point and offers a gr…

Strangers on a Train 24:16

4M ago24:16

24:16

Strangers on a Train (1951) may not be an “obvious Hitchcock” like Vertigo, Rear Window, or North by Northwest, but it’s fascinating, rewatchable, and has everything we love in the Hitchcock canon. When Guy Haines (Farley Granger) meets Bruno Antony (Robert Walker), he learns that he might not know himself as well as he thought he did. The whole fi…

Croupier 23:48

5M ago23:48

23:48

Has your day today been worth narating? If it were retold in the pages of a novel, would anyone read it? Are you worthy of narration? Most of us would say that we weren’t, but that’s not the case for Jack Manfred, the title character of Croupier, Mike Hodges’ 1998 film about authorship and narcissism. Jack thinks that one must be a gambler or a cro…

L. A. Confidential 30:26

5M ago30:26

30:26

If L. A. Confidential (1997) were two degrees campier, it would seem like Dick Tracy–but Curtis Hanson made sure to capture the spirit of James Ellroy’s novel while making its labyrinth plot understandable to viewers. Join us for a conversation about how the film examines the need for heroes yet seems to only offer them in a way to which the movies…

For a Few Dollars More 30:03

5M ago30:03

30:03

A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966) are collectively known as “The Man with No Name” trilogy and are often thought of as one long movie about the hero’s adventures, much like we think of the original three installments of Indiana Jones. Quentin Tarantino has called the third film th…

To Have and Have Not 20:43

5M ago20:43

20:43

Howard Hawks’s To Have and Have Not (1944) is more Hollywood than Hemingway–something for which we should all be grateful. The film is a wonderful example–perhaps the best–of onscreen chemistry and remains wildly entertaining even aside from the onscreen courtship of Bogart and Bacall. Join us as we talk about banter as a tool of seduction, the way…

Thief 24:57

6M ago24:57

24:57

Everyone loves a good heist movie that depends on the combination of cold, logical planning and some element going sideways–and Thief is one of the best. Its 1981 release date is seen in every frame and the soundtrack by Tangerine Dream makes for great nostalgic viewing. But the film has real power as a character study of a highly skilled man tryin…

Training Day 29:09

6M ago29:09

29:09

Do you need to be a wolf to protect the sheep? That’s the question at the heart of Training Day (2001), in which Ethan Hawke plays the lead and Denzel Washington plays himself–at least for the first hour. What happens in the film once the sun goes down gets Mike and Dan arguing as they haven’t in a while: does the movie become yet another one where…

Oppenheimer 31:35

6M ago31:35

31:35

Any director other than Christopher Nolan would have done one of two things with this material: made an Oceans Eleven at Los Alamos or a cradle-to-grave biopic. That Nolan resisted these temptations to instead use the life of his subject to explore issues of historical legacy and what happens to those who steal fire from the gods makes Oppenheimer …

Collateral 31:13

6M ago31:13

31:13

Collateral was made in 2004, ten years after Speed—and while both films have the same story of a good guy trying to stop a killer in real time, Collateral feels decades away from the innocence of Speed. Much of that has to do with the villain, who espouses a set of assumptions about the world that we se all around us on LinkedIn, YouTube, and Shark…
