It's On The List
Gerry and Sammy talk about movies. Old, new, bad, good, and everything in between. Generally, two films that are loosely connected in some form or fashion will be discussed in each episode, but the boys will divert from this format to rank the filmographies of certain directors, discuss end-of-the-year best-of lists, etc. Come listen to the two smartest people in the world deliver their objectively correct analyses on a variety of films. Hosts: Gerry Hartman, Sammy Ray. Theme song produced by Eric Powell
It's On The List
#37: Straub/Huillet/Costa
The boys are back to discuss 3 very important filmmakers - the French duo of Jean-Marie Straub and Daniele Huillet, as well as the man who studied under them, Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Costa. Sammy and Gerry talk specifically about Straub and Huillet's Fortini/Cani (1976) and Costa's In Vanda's Room (2000), but also about the background of these artists - the Straubs' Brechtian approach to dramaturgy, Costa's radical digital stylizations, and the ethos of these filmmakers. Whether you're a longtime fan of their work or have never heard of these people, listen up.
