“It'll be just like in the movies. We'll pretend to be someone else.”A Winding Road to ProductionDavid Lynch's Mulholland Dr. started life as a television pilot for ABC, but when the network passed on the project, Lynch reworked it into a feature film. The resulting movie is a surreal, non-linear exploration of the dark side of Hollywood, blending elements of mystery, romance, and psychological horror. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 2002 Film Independent Spirit Awards Best Cinematography Nominees series with a conversation about Mulholland Dr.Dreams, Illusions, and the Seedy Underbelly of TinseltownIn our discussion, we delve into the film's complex narrative structure and the various interpretations of its plot. At least how we see it. We examine how Lynch uses the concept of dreams and illusions to explore the characters' psyches and the darker aspects of the entertainment industry. The film's cinematography, nominated for a Spirit Award, is also a focal point of our conversation, as we analyze how Lynch and his team create a haunting, dreamlike atmosphere that enhances the story's themes.Unraveling the Mysteries of Mulholland Dr.The stellar performances of Naomi Watts and Laura Elena HarringThe film's origins as a television pilot and how it influences the final productLynch's refusal to explain the film's meaning and the audience's role in interpretationThe use of symbolism and recurring motifs throughout the narrativeA Mesmerizing Journey into the SubconsciousMulholland Dr. is a film that demands multiple viewings and encourages deep analysis. Its enigmatic nature and layered storytelling make it a prime example of Lynch's unique style and vision. While the movie's unconventional structure and surreal elements may not appeal to everyone, it remains a fascinating exploration of identity, dreams, and the dark side of ambition.

"You can’t trust a man’s life to your little notes and pictures.”REBROADCASTChristopher Nolan’s second film, Memento from 2001, caught a lot of attention on its release. The clever screenplay structure where the story unfolds both forward and backward in time creates an experience much like that of our protagonist Leonard Shelby (wonderfully played by Guy Pearce), a man suffering from anterior grade memory loss. Some people said Memento was too clever for its own good or that it was all style with little substance. Others found it to be incredibly creative with a unique story exploring the psychology of our character. No matter how you approach it, Memento is a film worth looking at in greater depth. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off our twist endings series called ‘Spoiled. Rotten?’, in which we debate if a film is ruined if you already know the twist. Pete’s selection is Nolan’s 2001 film Memento.Here’s a hint at what we talk about.What do we think of twist endings? In the world of twist endings, what are some that work for us and some that don’t? Do we find Memento to be an effective example, even if the twist ending actually happens at the midway point of the chronological story? Guy Pearce is always wonderful, but it’s so great seeing Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano together again right on the heels of their success with The Matrix. How much do we actually understand the story and what are our opinions about what really happened with Leonard, Sammy, and the mysterious John G? Nolan started working with Wally Pfister here as his cinematographer and David Julyan composed music. Do we like the look and music? And how much do we love this film as compared to so many who clearly hate it?It’s a strong entry into our catalogue and one we’re glad to have discussed. The twists hold up and we have a great time talking about them. Check it out then tune in!

“Make a sound and I’m going to drown you in the lake.”A Sundance Standout That Earned Cinematography HonorsScott McGehee and David Siegel, the directing duo behind The Deep End, began developing the project in the late 1990s. Inspired by the 1940s novel The Blank Wall by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding and the 1949 film adaptation The Reckless Moment directed by Max Ophüls, they set out to create a modern noir thriller centered around a mother's fierce love and protection for her son. With the help of cinematographer Giles Nuttgens, they crafted a visually stunning and emotionally charged film that caught the attention of the Sundance Film Festival and beyond. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 2002 Film Independent Spirit Awards Best Cinematography Nominees series with a conversation about The Deep End.A Mother's Love, a Son's Secret, and a Blackmailer's AgendaIn our discussion of The Deep End, we explore the central premise of the film – a mother who discovers a dead body and believes her son is responsible. Tilda Swinton portrays Margaret Hall, a woman who makes a quick decision to cover up the crime. As the plot progresses, a blackmailer enters the picture, complicating matters further. While we both appreciate aspects of the film, we find ourselves divided on the effectiveness of the story and Swinton's performance. The cinematography, however, remains a standout element, earning its Independent Spirit Award nomination.Other Discussion PointsThe supporting performance of Goran Visnjic as the blackmailer Alek Spera and how his character evolves throughout the filmThe film's handling of the son's sexuality and the potential consequences of his father discovering the truthThe use of Lake Tahoe as a setting and its contribution to the overall atmospherePacing issues and plot points that we found problematic or unbelievableThe Deep End is an intriguing and visually captivating thriller that sparked a lively discussion between us. While we may not see eye-to-eye on all aspects of the film, particularly Tilda Swinton's performance and the overall effectiveness of the story, we agree that the cinematography is truly remarkable and worthy of its Independent Spirit Award nomination. The film's exploration of complex themes and moral dilemmas makes it a thought-provoking watch, even if it doesn't quite hit the mark in all areas.

The lo-fi special effects, particularly in depicting space travel, somehow work perfectly in the established universe. We marvel at the creative framing and cinematography that elevate the low-budget production design. The memorable musical numbers get us singing along. At the heart of the story, we explore how this space Western playfully taps into themes of masculinity and loneliness across the cosmos.Further Points of DiscussionAppreciating the authentic, understated performancesNoting the film's multitude of cinematic influencesStruggling with the underdeveloped antagonist storylineReveling in the earworm-inducing soundtrackComparing The American Astronaut to other quirky genre-bendersA Flawed but Ambitious DebutThe American Astronaut is a testament to the power of a singular creative vision.

“My grandma always said, ‘Family pulling together in times of need will make it strong.’”The Family That Eats Together: A Discussion of Soul FoodBefore Soul Food hit theaters in 1997, writer and director George Tillman Jr. struggled to get his first feature film made. After selling the script, the production company went under before filming began. Undeterred, Tillman persevered and found new backing from Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and his wife Tracey. Their shared vision brought Tillman’s semi-autobiographical story to life. Soul Food went on to become a breakout hit, launching Tillman’s career and sparking an ongoing debate about family, culture, and tradition.Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 1998 NAACP Image Awards Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture Nominees series with a conversation about Tillman Jr.’s 1997 film Soul Food.Digging into Family, Food, and ForgivenessIn our lively discussion, we dig into the joys and tensions of the Joseph family’s Sunday dinners. We’re divided on the effectiveness of young Ahmad’s voiceover narration as a narrative device. The family relationships feel authentic, with standout performances from the actresses playing the three sisters – Vanessa Williams, Vivica A. Fox, and Nia Long. However, we take issue with some of the easy storytelling choices, especially regarding Lem’s return to prison. The “fairy tale” ending strains believability more for Andy than Pete, but it does raise thought-provoking questions about the role of food and togetherness in absolving past wrongs.More Food for ThoughtAppreciating the film’s universal messages about family bondsMama’s troubling role in cultivating the family’s unhealthy dietBrandon Hammond’s sweet portrayal of young AhmadMichael Beach excelling with an interesting roleDirector George Tillman Jr.’s growth between this film and The Hate U GiveBringing Families TogetherSoul Food succeeds in celebrating the aspirational joy of gathering family around the table.

“Let’s be realistic. Now, sooner or later, they’re going to get around to offering me a plea deal, and you know that. That’s why you are here to kill me.”Jackie Brown Rides High in Tarantino’s Homage to BlaxploitationQuentin Tarantino burst onto the film scene in the 1990s with unique stylistic choices and sharp dialogue.

Jackson, Bridget Fonda, and Michael Keaton. We also touch on the controversy around Tarantino’s use of the N-word.
