דAll four with clean records. No police force in the world knows them or their work. In their fields, the very best.” Unveiling a Hidden Heist Film Gem from 1967 In 1967, Italian director Giuliano Montaldo brought together an international cast for an ambitious heist film co-production between Italy, Spain, and West Germany. Coming off his success with The Reckless , which was nominated for the Golden Bear prize at the Berlin International Film Festival, Montaldo secured Edward G. Robinson and Janet Leigh as two of his leads. With legendary composer Ennio Morricone providing the score, the production aimed to create a sophisticated entry in the burgeoning heist film genre. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the Heist Films series with a conversation about Montaldo’s 1967 film Grand Slam . Breaking Down This International Heist Caper The film follows a meticulous plan to rob $10 million in diamonds during Rio's Carnaval, orchestrated by Robinson's retired professor character. We discuss how the film builds tension through its carefully assembled team of specialists and elaborate heist sequence. While the ending has divided audiences over the years, we explore how this twist-filled finale actually enhances the film's themes about crime and betrayal. Key Elements of the Grand Slam Heist • The innovative card catalog system used to assemble the criminal team • Klaus Kinski's intense performance as the ex-military member of the crew • Janet Leigh's role and how her development may have been too much a giveaway, at least through modern eyes • Ennio Morricone's distinctive, Carnaval-influenced score • The technical achievement of the vault robbery sequence • The film's use of international locations, including some clever substitutions (and some bad blue screen) When Plans Come Together Despite being somewhat forgotten today, Grand Slam delivers as both a meticulously crafted heist film and an engaging story with great characters. We both rate it highly, appreciating its technical prowess and storytelling even when some of the twists become predictable. The film deserves more recognition among classic heist films of the 1960s for its innovative approach and international flair. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

“In films, either you’ve got a face or you don’t got a face. You've got a face. Can I have it, please?” A Comedic Heist Caper from an Unlikely Collaboration In 1966, Peter Sellers sought to work with renowned Italian neorealist director Vittorio De Sica, bringing aboard playwright Neil Simon to pen his first screenplay. Despite De Sica's reported gambling debts motivating his involvement, the collaboration proved challenging. De Sica struggled with Simon's script and Sellers' performance style, while conflicts arose over casting choices, including Sellers' then-wife Britt Ekland. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the Heist Films series with a conversation about De Sica’s 1966 film After the Fox . Breaking Down This Fox's Complicated Hunt The film weaves together elements of heist capers and Hollywood satire, following master criminal Aldo "The Fox" Vanucci as he poses as an Italian film director to orchestrate a gold heist. While the premise shows promise, the movie struggles to balance its dual identity as both heist film and industry commentary. However, the stellar performances, particularly from Sellers and Victor Mature (playing a delightfully self-aware version of himself), help elevate the material beyond its structural issues. Key Elements of This Unique Crime Comedy • Peter Sellers' multiple disguises and his protective relationship with his sister (played by then-wife Britt Ekland) • Victor Mature's comeback performance lampooning his own image • The film's satirical take on moviemaking and celebrity culture • Burt Bacharach's memorable earworm title song • The clever setup of the heist using a film production as cover • A somewhat disappointing climactic car chase that fails to deliver on the film's early promise While After the Fox may not fully succeed as either a heist film or industry satire, it offers enough charm and laughs to warrant attention. The film's unique blend of crime caper and showbiz satire, combined with Sellers' comedic prowess, makes it an entertaining entry in both his filmography and the heist genre.

“A perfect hit! And no pain for the target. Too bad the guy was only 38; just two years older, he'd have been worth three times the points.” Roger Corman's Vision of a Dystopian Future In 1974, Roger Corman learned about Norman Jewison's upcoming film Rollerball and decided to capitalize on its publicity by producing his own futuristic sports film. Based on a short story by Ib Melchior inspired by his experiences at the Indianapolis 500, Corman brought on Paul Bartel to direct what would become a satirical commentary on violence in entertainment and totalitarian control. With a budget of just $300,000, Corman assembled a cast including David Carradine and a pre-Rocky Sylvester Stallone to create this violent vision of America's future. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the Roger Corman series with a conversation about Bartel’s 1975 film Death Race 2000 . Racing Through the Film's Key Points The film's unique blend of dark comedy and social commentary creates an engaging discussion about its place in both exploitation cinema and political satire. We explore how Corman's influence shaped the film's development, particularly his push to emphasize comedy and include gratuitous elements that became his trademark. The movie's transformation from a serious script to a more satirical piece showcases Corman's understanding of what would appeal to audiences. Additional Pit Stops in Our Discussion • The cultural context of car-themed movies in the 1970s and their connection to American car culture • David Carradine's performance as Frankenstein and whether he was the right choice for the role • The film's commentary on media manipulation and fan culture • How the limited budget affected the scale of the cross-country race • The surprising franchise legacy, including multiple sequels and remakes • Tak Fujimoto's cinematography and how it enhanced the racing sequences A Victory Lap Worth Taking Despite its low budget and exploitation elements, Death Race 2000 succeeds as both entertainment and satire. While some critics initially dismissed it, including Roger Ebert who gave it zero stars before later acknowledging its merits, the film has earned its place as a cult classic. Both hosts thoroughly enjoyed the film, with Andy giving it four stars and Pete giving it three stars with a heart on Letterboxd. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

“This was not intended to be a book-of-the-month club lunch.” A British Heist Film That Set Early Genre Standards In 1958, John Boland published his novel The League of Gentlemen , which quickly caught the attention of British filmmakers. Director Basil Dearden, known for his work with Ealing Studios, saw potential in this story of ex-military men planning an elaborate bank robbery. Working with screenwriter Bryan Forbes, who also took a role in the film, Dearden assembled an impressive cast including Jack Hawkins, Richard Attenborough, and Nigel Patrick. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we return to our Heist Films series with a conversation about Dearden’s 1960 film The League of Gentlemen . Breaking Down This Military-Precision Heist The film follows a group of former military officers who, feeling cast aside by society (and kicked out of the military), band together to execute a sophisticated bank robbery. As we discuss the film, we explore how it handles character development within its large ensemble cast. While some characters receive more attention than others, the film mostly effectively balances its numerous players. Furthermore, we examine how the film's visual elements, particularly the smoke-filled heist sequence with gas masks, create memorable and striking imagery in black and white. Exploring Themes and Cultural Context Throughout our discussion, we delve into several fascinating aspects of the film: The military hierarchy that naturally reasserts itself among the characters The film's commentary on post-war soldiers struggling to find their place in society The blend of comedy and crime elements that would influence future heist films The impressive performances, particularly from Jack Hawkins and Richard Attenborough The film's innovative use of practical effects, especially during the climactic heist sequence The cultural attitudes and gender relations reflected in the film A Must-Watch Early Heist Film The League of Gentlemen stands as an important early entry in the heist film genre, arriving the same year as the original Ocean's 11 . While some character development opportunities may have been missed due to the large cast, the film succeeds in delivering both entertainment and social commentary. We both thoroughly enjoyed this British crime caper, particularly appreciating its technical achievements and ensemble performances. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in. The Next Reel – when the movie ends, our conversation begins!

“When I asked for your advice, I didn't mean that you should actually speak.” Rebooting the Jack Ryan Franchise After the success of Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger , Paramount Pictures aimed to continue the Jack Ryan franchise with an adaptation of The Sum of All Fears . Initially, Harrison Ford was set to reprise his role as Jack Ryan, but he and director Phillip Noyce dropped out due to script issues. Paramount then decided to reboot the franchise with a younger actor, offering the role to Ben Affleck, who received blessings from Ford and Alec Baldwin. With director Phil Alden Robinson on board, the stage was set for a new era of Jack Ryan. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the Jack Ryan series with a conversation about Noyce’s 2002 film The Sum of All Fears . A Bold Adaptation Filled with Fascinating Political Intrigue In this episode, we delve into the daring choices made in adapting Clancy's novel, particularly how the film allows Jack Ryan, the embodiment of institutional intelligence, to fail. The movie's second half, focusing on the aftermath of a devastating bomb blast in Baltimore, surprised us with its engaging portrayal of escalating tensions between the U.S. and Russian presidents. We appreciate how the film questions the intelligence and diplomacy machine by highlighting Ryan's struggle to convey crucial information to decision-makers. (Mostly) Great Performances and Controversial Villains Throughout our discussion, we praise the performances of James Cromwell as President Fowler, Morgan Freeman as CIA Director William Cabot, and Liev Schreiber as John Clark. However, we do struggle a bit with Affleck playing Ryan. We also express disappointment in the film's decision to replace the Islamic terrorists from the novel with neo-Nazis, feeling that it weakens the story's impact and makes the villains less compelling. Other points: The challenges of adapting Clancy's novel and the script issues that led to the reboot Ben Affleck's performance as a younger Jack Ryan The film's depiction of the U.S. and Russian presidents' responses to the crisis Alan Bates and Colm Feore's roles as tepid neo-Nazi villains and their impact on the story A Thought-Provoking Entry in the Jack Ryan Series While The Sum of All Fears may not be the most celebrated entry in the Jack Ryan series, it offers a thought-provoking exploration of political intrigue and the consequences of intelligence failures. Despite some weaknesses in its adaptation choices and the lead casting choice, the film's second half delivers a gripping narrative that keeps viewers engaged.

“The course of action I’d suggest is a course of action I can’t suggest.” The Road to Clear and Present Danger After the success of Patriot Games , Paramount Pictures was eager to continue the Jack Ryan series with another adaptation of a Tom Clancy novel. With Harrison Ford set to return as the intrepid CIA analyst and Phillip Noyce back in the director's chair, the stage was set for Clear and Present Danger . The film, released in 1994, brought a new level of complexity to the series, delving into the murky world of covert operations and political machinations. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the Jack Ryan series with a conversation about Clear and Present Danger . Navigating the Murky Waters of Clear and Present Danger In our discussion, we dive into the intricacies of Clear and Present Danger , exploring how the film captures the complexities of the political landscape and the moral ambiguity of covert operations. We examine Harrison Ford's portrayal of Jack Ryan, noting how he brings a different energy to the character compared to his performance in Patriot Games. The film's ability to balance the high-stakes political drama in Washington with the intense action sequences in Colombia is a point of interest, as we analyze how these two seemingly disparate storylines ultimately converge. Uncovering the Layers of Corruption Clear and Present Danger takes us on a journey through the labyrinthine world of government corruption, where personal agendas and political maneuvering take precedence over the greater good. We discuss: The performances of Henry Czerny and Harris Yulin as the villainous Ritter and Cutter Willem Dafoe's role as John Clark and the film's portrayal of covert military operations The emotional impact of James Earl Jones' character, Admiral Greer, and his relationship with Jack Ryan A Thrilling Addition to the Jack Ryan Series While Clear and Present Danger may not be perfect, it remains a compelling entry in the Jack Ryan series. The film's ability to tackle complex themes and its unflinching look at the darker aspects of government operations make it a thought-provoking and engaging watch. Harrison Ford's performance as Jack Ryan, coupled with the strong supporting cast, elevates the material and keeps the audience invested in the story. Clear and Present Danger stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of Tom Clancy's novels and the Jack Ryan character. Its exploration of political corruption, moral ambiguity, and the consequences of unchecked power remains as relevant today as it was upon the film's release.

“You walk into a bar, half of whose customers want you dead. You walk up to the IRA's bagman, and in front of his guys, you threaten him? You're not a field man, Jack. You never were. You are an analyst. Analyze that.” The Second Chapter in Jack Ryan's Journey After the success of The Hunt for Red October , Paramount Pictures faced challenges bringing the next Jack Ryan story to the screen. The situation with Alec Baldwin's departure proved contentious, with Baldwin claiming Paramount "cut his throat" by negotiating with another actor (presumably Ford) while still in talks with him. The studio allegedly used Baldwin's Broadway commitment to A Streetcar Named Desire and script approval demands as leverage to make the switch. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the Jack Ryan series with a conversation about Phillip Noyce’s 1992 film Patriot Games . Playing Both Sides of the Game The transition from Baldwin to Ford fundamentally changes the character's dynamics, shifting from a younger analyst to a more seasoned veteran. We explore how this affected the film's tone and action sequences, particularly discussing whether some of the more intense scenes feel appropriate for Ryan's character. The film presents an intriguing mirror story between Ryan and Sean Miller - both men driven by family, albeit in opposing directions. While Ryan fights to protect his family, Miller seeks revenge for his brother's death, creating parallel narratives that drive the story's conflict. Elements That Drive the Action • The controversial casting change and its implications for the franchise • The mirrored narratives of family protection versus family revenge • Sean Bean's memorable performance as vengeful terrorist Sean Miller • The innovative satellite attack sequence that showcases '90s military technology • Debate over the film's balance between analysis and action • The political dynamics of presenting IRA terrorism to American audiences • Discussion of whether the finale's boat chase sequence serves the story effectively Patriot Games successfully continues the Jack Ryan franchise while charting its own course, though some creative choices push the character in new directions that don't always align with his analytical roots. The film proves entertaining even as it diverges from the more cerebral approach of its predecessor. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

“You’re in a house of desperate women here, and a long, long way from home.” Roger Corman's Exploitation Cinema: The Story Behind Caged Heat In the early 1970s, Roger Corman was producing a slew of women-in-prison films, capitalizing on the exploitation genre that had been popular then. When wannabe director Jonathan Demme approached Corman with the idea for Caged Heat , Corman initially declined, believing the subgenre had run its course. Undeterred, Demme raised the funds independently and eventually secured Corman as the distributor. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our member bonusRoger Corman series with a conversation about Demme’s 1974 film Caged Heat . Exploring the Depths of Women's Incarceration in Caged Heat In our discussion, we delve into the themes and statements Demme makes about institutional oppression, mental health, and unethical medical practices within the prison system. We also examine how the film attaches power to sexuality, potentially empowering the female characters in a way that was uncommon for the era. Additionally, we touch on the interesting casting choices, particularly Barbara Steele as the prison warden and Warren Miller as the sociopathic doctor, and how these decisions subvert audience expectations. Caged Heat : A Closer Look at the Characters and Filmmaking Techniques Throughout the episode, we discuss: The relationships between the various inmates and how Demme allows time for character development Tak Fujimoto's cinematography and the effective use of tracking shots The film's balance between comedy and serious moments The shocking and powerful sequence involving shock therapy While Caged Heat may not be a perfect film, it offers an intriguing look at the women-in-prison subgenre through the lens of Jonathan Demme's early directorial work. The movie's exploration of serious themes, combined with its exploitation elements, makes for an engaging and thought-provoking viewing experience.

“Andrei, you've lost another submarine?” From Novel to Box Office Success In 1984, Tom Clancy published his first novel The Hunt for Red October , which garnered attention from military officials for its technical accuracy. Despite the book's success, Hollywood struggled to adapt it. Producer Mace Neufeld optioned the rights but faced resistance from studios who considered the story too complicated. It wasn't until 1990, after six years of development, that the film finally made it to theaters. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off the Jack Ryan series with a conversation about The Hunt for Red October . Diving Deep into Cold War Tensions The film introduces us to Alec Baldwin as Jack Ryan, a CIA analyst who finds himself thrust into an intricate game of cat and mouse when he discovers that Soviet submarine commander Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) might be attempting to defect. We explore how Baldwin embodies the reluctant hero aspect of Ryan's character more effectively than subsequent actors in the role. The film's deliberate pacing and focus on intellectual strategy over action sequences sets it apart from typical action films of its era and beyond. Breaking the Surface with McTiernan's Direction Director John McTiernan, fresh off the success of Die Hard , brings his expertise to create tension through careful character development rather than relying solely on action sequences. The film's innovative language transition technique and strong performances from the international cast contribute to its enduring appeal. Other Discussion Points: The film's groundbreaking $30 million budget and its box office success Sean Connery's commanding presence despite his Scottish accent playing a Lithuanian The technical accuracy and military support in production Courtney B. Vance's standout performance as Sonar Operator Jones The film's clever handling of submarine warfare technology The evolution of Jack Ryan as a character across different actors The Hunt for Red October stands as one of the strongest entries in the Jack Ryan series, masterfully balancing intellectual intrigue with taut action sequences. The film maintains suspense through character development and strategic narrative choices rather than relying on conventional action tropes.

“The heavens have never seen such an ignominious Patsak as you, Violinist. It grieves me deeply.” A Satirical Take on Soviet Society Kin-Dza-Dza! , a 1986 Soviet science fiction comedy film directed by Georgiy Daneliya, was initially met with skepticism by Soviet authorities due to its satirical nature. However, Daneliya persevered and managed to get the film made, despite the challenges of filming in the hot Turkmenistan desert and dealing with bureaucratic red tape that delayed production. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we wrap up this return to our Soviet Sci-Fi series with a conversation about Daneliya’s 1986 film Kin-Dza-Dza! . Diving into the Absurdist World of Kin-Dza-Dza! We explore the film's absurdist humor and how it effectively satirizes various aspects of Soviet society, such as the rigid caste system, the limitations on free speech, and the devolution of language. We discuss how the film's low-budget, dystopian aesthetic contributes to its commentary on consumerism and environmentalism, drawing comparisons to other works like Idiocracy and the films of Terry Gilliam and Jean-Pierre Jeunet. The Strengths of Soviet Science Fiction Throughout our discussion, we highlight how Kin-Dza-Dza! exemplifies the strengths of Soviet science fiction in its ability to critique contemporary society through a futuristic lens.

“I don’t want to live among the fishes anymore. I’ll die of loneliness.” A Soviet Sci-Fi Fairy Tale of Love and Science In the 1960s, during the Khrushchev Thaw, Soviet filmmakers were given more creative freedom to explore stories beyond the typical Stalinist propaganda. This period saw a surge in sci-fi films, including the 1961 classic Amphibian Man , directed by Vladimir Chebotaryov and Gennadiy Kazanskiy. Based on the novel by Alexander Beliaev, the film tells the story of a man with surgically implanted shark gills who falls in love with a young woman, despite the disapproval of her capitalist suitor. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off a short return to our Soviet Sci-Fi series with a conversation about the 1961 film Amphibian Man . Diving Deep into the Story's Themes and Motifs In our discussion, we explore how Amphibian Man weaves together elements of science fiction, romance, and social commentary. The film's protagonist, Ichtyandr, embodies the Soviet ideal of scientific progress, while his love interest, Gutiere, represents the allure of a world beyond his underwater utopia. We also examine the film's villain, Don Pedro, as a classic capitalist exploiter, showcasing the Soviet critique of Western values. Throughout our conversation, we delve into the fairy tale aspects of the story, the believability of the romance, and the tragic ending that subverts expectations. We also discuss the technical achievements of the underwater cinematography and the film's influence on modern directors like Guillermo del Toro. Other Topics Covered in the Episode The film's original title, " Tarzan of the Sea ," and its copyright issues The dream sequence and its role in the narrative The ambiguity surrounding Ichtyandr's abilities and the dolphin scene Accusations of plagiarism against Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water The changing perceptions of ocean exploitation in Soviet cinema A Timeless Tale of Love and Progress Amphibian Man may not be a perfect film, but it remains a fascinating example of Soviet sci-fi cinema during a period of creative liberation. Its blend of science, romance, and social commentary creates a timeless fairy tale that continues to captivate audiences decades later. Despite some plot inconsistencies and missed opportunities, the film's core themes and visual splendor make it a worthwhile entry in the genre.

“I’ve got a weird sense of humor, man.” Pushing Boundaries in Found Footage Horror Mark Duplass, known for his contributions to the mumblecore movement, teamed up with newcomer Patrick Brice to create a low-budget indie horror film that would challenge conventions and explore the unsettling nature of human interactions. With Duplass's experience in crafting authentic, character-driven stories and Brice's fresh perspective, they set out to push the boundaries of the found footage genre. Armed with a minimal crew, a largely improvised script, and a shared vision, they embarked on a journey that would result in the creation of Creep .

The found footage aesthetic enhances the sense of unease, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. Additionally, we delve into the movie's ability to subvert audience expectations and keep viewers on edge throughout. Other Points of Discussion The effective use of a minimalist cast and setting The possible and somewhat weak attempt at creating a twist The chemistry between Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice The film's exploration of the darker aspects of human nature The pacing issues in the latter half of the movie Creep ing into the Horror Genre Creep showcases the potential of low-budget, independent filmmaking to create a memorable and unsettling horror experience.

“It’s called ‘Murdered Man’.” Roger Corman's Comical Foray into Beatnik Horror In the late 1950s, American International Pictures approached Roger Corman to create a low-budget horror film in just five days, using sets from another project. Corman, along with screenwriter Charles B. Griffith, decided to take a satirical approach, crafting a black comedy that poked fun at the beatnik culture of the era. The result was A Bucket of Blood , a quirky and entertaining film that showcases Corman's ability to deliver a memorable movie on a shoestring budget. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the member bonus Roger Corman series with a conversation about A Bucket of Blood . Sculpting a Masterpiece of Macabre Humor In our discussion of A Bucket of Blood , we delve into the film's clever satirical elements and its comical take on the horror genre. We explore how the movie lampoons both the beatnik scene and the pretentiousness of the art world, with Corman and Griffith drawing from their own experiences and observations. The film's lead actor, Dick Miller, delivers a standout performance as the lovable yet misguided busboy-turned-artist Walter Paisley, whose quest for fame and acceptance takes a dark and murderous turn. Corman's Signature Style and Social Commentary Throughout our conversation, we touch upon various aspects of the film that showcase Roger Corman's signature style and his ability to infuse social commentary into his low-budget productions. We examine how A Bucket of Blood addresses themes of social mobility, the search for identity, and the folly of pursuing success at any cost. Additionally, we discuss how the film fits into the broader context of 1950s cinema, drawing comparisons to other notable works of the era, such as Rebel Without a Cause and film noir. Other points covered in our discussion include: The film's effective use of a limited set and budget The portrayal of the beat generation and youth culture The transformation of Walter Paisley from protagonist to antagonist The satirical representation of the art world and its patrons A Timeless Tale of Ambition and Morality A Bucket of Blood may be a product of its time, but its themes and humor remain relatable and entertaining decades later. Corman's ability to craft a compelling and thought-provoking story within the constraints of a tight budget and schedule is a testament to his skill as a filmmaker. While the film's low-budget origins are evident, its clever writing, memorable performances, and biting satire more than compensate for any technical limitations.

“Did someone hear a woman cry?” A Haunting Guatemalan Ghost Story In 2019, Guatemalan filmmaker Jayro Bustamante released his third feature film, La Llorona , a haunting ghost story that explores the aftermath of the Guatemalan genocide. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was selected as the Guatemalan entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 93rd Academy Awards. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the Ghost Stories series with a conversation about La Llorona . Women Confronting the Horrors of the Past In our discussion of La Llorona , we focus on how the film centers around the women in a retired general's family as they grapple with the accusations of genocide against him. Through the mysterious presence of their new housekeeper, Alma, and the visions she induces, the general's wife, daughter, and granddaughter are forced to confront the truth about his actions and their own complicity in the horrors of the past. As the story unfolds, the general becomes an increasingly antagonistic figure, unable to face the consequences of his past deeds. Blending the Ghost Story Genre with the La Llorona Myth La Llorona effectively combines elements of the traditional ghost story genre with the well-known Latin American folktale of La Llorona, the weeping woman. Bustamante skillfully weaves these two narrative threads together, creating a haunting and atmospheric tale that slowly reveals the truth behind Alma's presence and her connection to the general's victims. The film's use of water imagery and the unsettling presence of ghostly figures further enhances the eerie and unsettling tone. Other topics covered in our conversation include: The strong performances of the cast, particularly María Mercedes Coroy as Alma and Margarita Kenéfic as the general's wife The film's commentary on the intergenerational trauma caused by the Guatemalan genocide The gradual revelation of Alma's true nature and her role in the story The importance of acknowledging and confronting the atrocities of the past A Thought-Provoking and Haunting Film La Llorona is a powerful and thought-provoking film that uses the ghost story genre and the La Llorona myth to shed light on the horrors of the Guatemalan genocide. Through its haunting atmosphere, strong performances, and exploration of intergenerational trauma, the film leaves a lasting impact on its viewers. La Llorona is a compelling and important work that deserves to be seen and discussed. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

“You know, if they take a personal belonging, something that you treasure, then there’s no escape from them. You’ll be marked and they’ll always know how to find you.” Uncovering the Horrors of War and Gender Inequality Iranian filmmaker Babak Anvari's directorial debut, Under the Shadow , hit the festival circuit in 2016, garnering critical acclaim and numerous awards. Set in Tehran during the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s, this Persian-language horror film delves into the personal and societal struggles of a mother and daughter as they face both the terrors of war and the oppression of gender inequality. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the Ghost Stories series with a conversation about Under the Shadow . Peeling Back the Layers of Fear From the ever-present threat of war to the social horror of gender inequality, Anvari masterfully weaves together a tapestry of terror that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. We discuss how the film's supernatural elements, in the form of malevolent spirits known as djinn, serve as a metaphor for the protagonist's internal struggles and the trauma she faces. Throughout our conversation, we explore the powerful performances of the film's lead actors, particularly Narges Rashidi as the mother, Shideh. Her portrayal of a woman grappling with the loss of her dreams and the pressures of motherhood in a war-torn, patriarchal society is both haunting and inspiring. We also touch on the film's effective use of sound design and cinematography to create an atmosphere of unease and dread. Digging Deeper into the Discussion The symbolism of the doll as a representation of Shideh's maternal instincts and her daughter's need for protection The ambiguity surrounding the origins of the djinn and their connection to the characters' trauma The film's commentary on the psychological effects of war and oppression on individuals and society The open-ended nature of the film's conclusion and its implications for the characters' futures Unveiling the Significance of Under the Shadow Under the Shadow is a testament to the power of horror cinema to explore complex social and political issues. By blending the supernatural with the all-too-real horrors of war and gender inequality, Anvari has crafted a film that is both terrifying and thought-provoking. Despite some minor criticisms regarding the clarity of certain plot points, we ultimately find Under the Shadow to be a compelling and essential addition to the canon of international horror cinema. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in. The Next Reel – when the movie ends, our conversation begins!
