Ep. 67 - Superhero Movies, Examining Pop-Culture, & Police in Film (Interview w/ Joe George)
Joe George is a writer for several publications including Den of Geek and Think Christian, but he also wrote a book exploring superhero movies through a theological lens: The Superpowers and the Glory. This week we discuss his process for writing about pop-culture, his interest in superheroes and what he does with his book, why superhero films have become a staple in our culture, and an upcoming project he has in the works concerning the history of police in film. We might even tell you which superhero films are undeniably the best.

Ep. 66 - Schindler's List (w/ Joe George@JoeWritesWords)
มุมมอง 10121 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Schindler’s List is almost undeniably Steven Spielberg’s masterpiece, the pinnacle of his career, and releasing just 6 months after the record breaking Jurassic Park. However, it didn’t come without its struggles on an emotionally charged set or its controversy over its depiction of the Holocaust. We talk about all of this, the phenomenal acting, its beauty, and the ethics of it all in this epi...
Ep. 65 - Science Gone Wrong Movie Draft (w/ Christiaan Funkhouser)
มุมมอง 2414 วันที่ผ่านมา
Sometimes science goes all wrong, and sometimes that happens in movies! This week we do a draft of our favorite movies where some sort of scientific endeavor goes all wrong, whether technological, biological, or sometimes both like in Spielberg’s Jurassic Park which inspired this draft. We had a great time talking about these movies and what is interesting about them, and we hope you have fun l...
Ep. 64 - Jurassic Park (w/ Christiaan Funkhouser)
มุมมอง 20721 วันที่ผ่านมา
In 1993, Steven Spielberg once again awed audiences by giving them something they had never seen so real before on the big screen: dinosaurs. With Jurassic Park, he started what would turn out to be one of the greatest movie years for a director ever, started a technological revolution in film with advances in CGI, and even broke his own box office record. But maybe more importantly, he once ag...

Ep. 62 - Hook (w/ Colby Ewert)
มุมมอง 214หลายเดือนก่อน
With Hook, Spielberg was beginning a new decade of filmmaking, but this adventure movie that acts as a twist on a classic tale really marks the end of a particular phase in his career. This film was a huge deal at the time, not only because of the well known names of Peter Pan and Hook attached to it, but also because of the actors in those roles: Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman. We talk abou...

มุมมอง 19หลายเดือนก่อน
For this intermission in our Spielberg series, we take a look back at his career thus far, analyzing his career of the 1970s and 1980s overall. Then we discuss the transition point Spielberg is in moving out of the 80s and into the 90s and do a bit of a preview of his mid-career of the 1990s and 2000s. This was a pivotal time in his career! I also share my personal rankings of the films we have...

Ep. 58 - Always (w/ Chase Ables)
มุมมอง 182 หลายเดือนก่อน
Spielberg ended his run of 80s movies with the romance-drama-comedy-fantasy Always. If that sounds like a confusing mish-mash of genres, it’s because it kind of is. While the movie is tonally confusing and has a plot that is strangely questionable at best, it is still beautifully shot with a really great performance from Holly Hunter. Also starring Richard Dreyfuss, John Goodman, and Audrey Hep...

Ep. 56 - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (w/ Christiaan Funkhouser)
มุมมอง 292 หลายเดือนก่อน
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, seemingly the last of a trilogy of adventure collaborations between Steven Spielberg and George Lucas at the time, came in the middle of a bit of a career shift for Spielberg. You can see a bit of that infused into the movie with more emotional themes mixed into the typical Indy action fare. We talk about that, the incredible stunts and effects, and more in o...

Ep. 54 - Empire of the Sun (w/ Jean-Pierre Boudreaux)
มุมมอง 203 หลายเดือนก่อน
Empire of the Sun is a forgotten gem in Steven Spielberg’s filmography, which is fitting since its setting is sort of a forgotten perspective on WWII. This is a bit of a hybrid for Spielberg in that it marries his childlike fantastical side with his newfound interest in making more serious, mature movies. This film is full of phenomenal shots typical of Spielberg and introduces us to a young Ch...

    Weird how many people really hate Nolan nowadays especially the so called youtubers critics. IMO Nolan is one of the greats

      He is definitely one of the greats from his generation of filmmakers. I think his movies are the type that naturally divide because he takes big swings and makes big movies.
