Bald Move Prestige

Special thanks to Karolina Ljungström, who decided to have us take on one of her favorite films, "Quills". "Quills" was released in 2000, and was directed by Phillip Kaufman, and starred Geoffrey Rush, Kate Winslet, Joaquin Phoenix, Michael Caine, and Stephen Moyer. It is a period piece loosely set around the last years of the Marquis de Sade as he languishes in a French asylum for the insane. The film has Jim and A.Ron pondering the role of art in society, how the life choices and artist makes influences how we feel about art, and how madness and genius are related.Thanks again, Karolina, we hope you enjoy your podcast!

Hey there, A.Ron here with a very special commissioned podcast with a unique history and focus. First, thanks to Andrew Stannard for using Subbable to make this all possible, and for working with us patiently on the format of the podcast.Andrew wanted us to talk about The Wire. The problem is, I've got massive plans for a Ultimate Badass Criterion Sapphire The Wire Podcast, and I didn't want to take his money to release an inferior version. So, we compromised. We'd record a podcast about his favorite character, Omar Little, and we'd highlight two episodes that showcase a particular facet of the character, all without doing any major spoilers. I selected episode 206, "All Prologue", and 306, "Homecoming", to show off Omar at his best, and Omar at one of his lowest points. Along the way Jim and I gush about The Wire, why we love it, why it can be hard at times to love, why Omar is such an important character for The Wire in general and pop culture at large, and talk about our favorite moments from these two episodes. I also divulge some details about my upcoming The Wire podcast series, and why it's taking so damn long.Thanks again, Andrew, I hope we delivered the goods! Join the discussion: Email | ForumsFollow us: Twitter | Instagram | FacebookLeave Us A Review on Apple Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey guys and gals, we have another commissioned podcast, this time from fellow fan Stig Ove Pederson, for the German film, "Lola Rennt", perhaps better known to english speakers as "Run Lola Run". A break out hit for both star Franka Potente ("The Bourne Identity", "The Shield", "The Bridge") and director Tom Tykwer ("Perfume: The Story of a Murderer", "Cloud Atlas"), the movie has a kinetic style, compelling action, and raises questions about causality, determinism, and free will.Thanks again, Stig!

Special thanks to Michael Kessler for using Subbable to commission his very own custom Podcast! But we're getting ahead of ourselves... Is this a podcast? Is it a dream? Will it's connected consciousness evolve in a more enlightened, compassionate, sharing direction, or will it just want set itself on fire, scream into a megaphone to empty streets, or cut off eyelids and put out cigars on eyeballs? Do you dream? Do you remember your dreams? Can you dream lucidly? Have you ever been stuck in a dream? Jim and A.Ron ponder all this and more in a very trippy recap to a very trippy movie/experience, Richard Linklater's 2001, "Waking Life".

Special thanks to Brian G. for commissioning this custom podcast using our Subbable subscription system! Brian decided to have us take a peek at FX's The Americans, episodes 101 and 102, "Pilot" and "The Clock", and we were only too happy to oblige. The Americans is a taut, well made, great looking, and stylish thriller set in the heydey of the Reagan Administration revolving around two Russian intelligence agents deeply embedded as American civilians. What did we like? What didn't we like? Listen and find out! Thanks again, Brian!Join the discussion: Email | ForumsFollow us: Twitter | Instagram | FacebookLeave Us A Review on Apple Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.
