“I had a book on the New York Times Bestseller list. That has to count for something.”A small crime with big nerves: words, money, and trust under pressure. In True Lies, we dig into "Can You Ever Forgive Me?"—Marielle Heller’s understated character study, anchored by Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant. Because it’s adapted from Lee Israel’s memoir and set inside a tiny collectibles world, the details matter: what “authentic” looks like, who gets believed, and why the hustle feels so tempting.We unpack how the film treats literary forgery as something stranger than paperwork—more like stealing voices. We argue about the push-pull between desperation and hubris, and how compulsion (drinking, stealing, self-sabotage) shapes the people at the center. We also track the craft: the process beats, the quiet tension in dealer interactions, and why the restraint either sharpens the discomfort or keeps the story at arm’s length. If you like true stories where the mess is interpersonal and the scam is built from language, this conversation is a great match.We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

“There should be a TV show about a guy who calls home one day and he's there, he answers, he's talking to himself, only he's someone else. He's somehow divided into two, and the second one of him drives away and the rest of the show is about him trying to find the guy.”Corporate deception spins out of control when an executive's cooperation with the FBI takes unexpected turns. In "The Informant!", Steven Soderbergh directs Matt Damon in a darkly comedic true story that pushes the boundaries of unreliable narration. As a member bonus episode of our True Lies series, we explore how this 2009 film uses innovative voiceover techniques and tonal shifts to keep viewers questioning every revelation.We dig deep into Soderbergh's careful visual approach to corporate environments, examining how Marvin Hamlisch's playful score creates fascinating tension with the serious subject matter. Damon's against-type performance as Mark Whitacre anchors our discussion of how the film handles complex questions about truth and perspective in whistleblower narratives. The way "The Informant!" balances its comedy with serious themes about mental health and corporate malfeasance makes it a uniquely compelling entry in Soderbergh's experimental period.We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

“With all my heart, I still love the man I killed!”One shot can change everything—and the shadows don’t let go. In our Bette Davis series, we dive into "The Letter," directed by William Wyler, a studio-era crime drama where a shooting sparks a legal scramble and a single letter becomes leverage. Along the way, we track how Production Code pressure and the film’s colonial framing shape what the story can show, what it chooses to tell, and how the audience is guided (or misdirected).We dig into the movie’s exposition-heavy early stretch and debate what it gains—and loses—by leaning on characters recounting events instead of playing them out on-screen. We also argue about who the film really positions as the audience’s anchor, and why the attorney’s moral pressure becomes the most compelling engine. And because it can’t be separated from the experience, we confront the film’s racist stereotypes and “yellowface” casting choices, even as we celebrate the moody black-and-white craft that makes key sequences feel electric.We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

“And you have cursed me when there’s no one left to blame, and I have loved you just the same.”John Carney follows Once with a bigger, slicker New York music story in Begin Again—and Pete Wright and Andy Nelson can feel the tension. They talk about what changes when you swap Dublin’s scrappy intimacy for a polished production with Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley at the center, and how the film keeps circling the question of “authenticity” in both music and life.Highlights include the standout “phantom instruments” sequence (a perfect snapshot of Dan’s gift for hearing potential), the movie’s push-pull between art and business (including the “buck a book” showdown), and the way the film’s structure quietly reveals whose story it really is. Plus: Catherine Keener’s impact in limited screen time, the film’s complicated relationship with New York “texture,” and why the soundtrack choice becomes one of Pete’s biggest quibbles.

“You're very sharp Mr. Fabian. You've done a very sharp thing. Maybe even sharp enough to cut your throat.”Noir in London: Wrestling with Fate in Night and the CityJules Dassin's 1950 film noir Night and the City follows small-time hustler Harry Fabian (Richard Widmark) through the seedy underbelly of post-war London.

Cast your vote for The Next Reel as Best TV & Film Podcast today!“Your grandfather has left you the sum of seven million dollars. Providing --- you are married by seven o’clock on the evening of your twenty seventh birthday.”Running for Love and Legacy: Revisiting Seven ChancesSeven Chances (1925) stands as one of silent cinema’s most inventive romantic comedies—a perfect blend of physical precision, deadpan humor, and daring spectacle. Directed by Buster Keaton, this short feature follows the frantic day of a man who must marry by 7 p.m. to claim a fortune. Originally based on a Broadway play, the project wasn’t one Keaton sought out—it began as a studio assignment before he transformed it into one of his defining works. With its 57-minute runtime, silent slapstick brilliance, and inventive chase cinematography, Seven Chances shows why Keaton remains a cornerstone of early American filmmaking. Join us—Pete Wright and Andy Nelson—as we continue the Cinema Centennial: 1925’s Pioneering Visions series with a conversation about Seven Chances.The Setup: From Studio Assignment to Keaton MasterpieceIn this episode, Pete and Andy explore how Seven Chances—a 1925 romantic comedy produced by Joseph Schenck and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn—evolved from a “sappy farce” into one of Keaton’s most memorable physical comedies. The hosts discuss Keaton’s initial reluctance, his eventual takeover after the original director quit, and the creative accident that produced the film’s iconic boulder sequence. Through Seven Chances, the duo highlights Keaton’s ability to blend danger, grace, and architectural precision into silent-era storytelling.Deadpan Genius and Dangerous Comedy: What Pete and Andy Saw in Seven ChancesBoth hosts unpack how Buster Keaton’s trademark stillness—his "Great Stone Face"—contrasts with the high-energy chaos of the final chase. Andy praises Keaton’s “human metronome” cameraman Elgin Lessley, whose perfect timing allowed Keaton’s stunts to land safely (most of the time). Pete connects Keaton’s physical comedy lineage to Jackie Chan and Tom Cruise, noting that Seven Chances feels like a forebear of the modern action-comedy.They also dive into the film’s uncomfortable historical elements—its dated racial caricatures and blackface performance—and how these moments complicate contemporary appreciation. Both agree that beyond its problematic era markers, the film’s inventive cinematography and physical storytelling remain stunningly modern.Additional Topics Covered:The inheritance clause as a farcical critique of class and marriageParallels between Seven Chances and modern films like The Bachelor (1999) and Brewster’s MillionsKeaton’s signature underacting compared with Chaplin’s heightened emotionSilent-era stunt safety—or lack thereof—and its evolution into modern production rulesThe striking use of early two-color Technicolor in the opening sequenceExtraordinary precision in the climactic “bride chase” and boulder avalanche sequenceHow Seven Chances bridges slapstick, satire, and proto-action filmmakingThe Verdict: A Fast, Funny, and Fearless ClassicIn their wrap-up, Pete and Andy agree that while Seven Chances is not Keaton’s most personal film, it’s an impressive showcase of his timing, ingenuity, and comedic rhythm. They celebrate its tight runtime, luminous restoration, and enduring joy—qualities that make it a strong entry in their ongoing exploration of 1925’s defining cinematic landmarks.We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.
