A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

1966's Tokyo Drifter is one of the most well-known films by Japanese New Wave maverick Seijun Suzuki. A wildly creative and avant-garde yakuza classic, Tokyo Drifter takes inspiration from Old Hollywood musicals, Westerns, film noir, and traditional gangster tropes yet never takes itself too seriously, delivering on all these homages with glaring colors and visual opulence.
Returning guest Harry Argyle and I will be chatting about the film, diving into Suzuki's background, and highlighting his difficulties working with Nikkatsu Studios -- that Tokyo Drifter only worsened.

Loosely inspired by the 1966 Charles Whitman mass shooting, "Targets" is chilling and utterly jarring — a horror movie set in broad daylight. In this episode, Bryan Starr and I discuss Bogdanovich's film, career, and background while highlighting the shift in Tinseltown from Old Hollywood to New. We'll also explore why "Targets" makes an excellent double feature with Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," unearthing thematic parallels and the commentary on the relationship between violence and pop culture/media. Bryan Starr is a talented filmmaker and content creator. While he has run Bryan Starr Cinematography for seven years, Bryan started creating content in 2020.

The film follows Cléo in "real-time" as she awaits biopsy results from five to seven pm, taking us on a journey of self-discovery. While it initially explores the fears associated with mortality, it ultimately highlights themes of isolation and loneliness. A timeless film on self-identity and the public persona, "Cléo from 5 to 7" reflects Varda's feminist sensibilities and offers a refreshing and introspective cinematic experience. In today's episode, I'm joined by podcaster and journalist Ethan Simmie to discuss this classic, highlighting Varda's significant contributions to the French New Wave movement and her background.

Laura Adkin's debut feature film, Re: Uniting, is hitting theatres in the US this month. The movie introduces us to a group of six best friends who were once close, yet life has taken them in different directions. They decide to get together for a fun weekend trip to celebrate their 25th college reunion, yet things aren't what they seem. Adkin's movie plays out like a second coming-of-age many adults face when they start mulling about their past, missed opportunities, and the jarring reality of the passage of time. In today’s episode, Laura and Marta discuss the personal inspirations behind crafting this indie drama and the importance of still making "talking" movies in the sea of blockbusters that dominate today’s market. Laura Adkin is a Vancouver-based filmmaker, actor, and writer. She has produced numerous films and has played at film festivals worldwide.

1 Exploring ‘World on a Wire’: Fassbinder’s Sci-Fi Masterpiece | Jonathan Cessa | McFly's Movie House #011 51:14
Rainer Werner Fassbinder's World on a Wire (1973) stands as a groundbreaking piece in sci-fi cinema, merging the director's distinctive style with futuristic themes. This two-part television miniseries, adapted from Daniel F. Galouye's novel Simulacron-3, explores the concept of simulated reality and artificial intelligence. Fassbinder's innovative narrative techniques and visual flair contribute to the film's significance in the sci-fi genre, prefiguring later works like The Matrix and Blade Runner. World on a Wire engages with philosophical questions about the nature of existence within a simulated world, solidifying Fassbinder's legacy as a visionary filmmaker who pushed the boundaries of storytelling, aesthetics, and thematic exploration in science fiction. Jonathan and I will be breaking down the film, talking about its influence on the genre, along with movies that served as inspiration for it.

Eric Rohmer, a leading figure in the French New Wave, crafted a cinematic legacy marked by his unique exploration of morality and relationships. His Six Moral Tales, a series of films from 1962 to 1972, form a cohesive narrative exploring the intricacies of human behaviour and ethical dilemmas. Linked by a common theme, each film delves into the complexities of desire, fidelity, and the consequences of one's actions. From My Night at Maud's to Claire's Knee, Rohmer weaves together a tapestry of interconnected characters and subtle philosophical inquiries. The overarching message in the Six Moral Tales lies in examining personal choices and the moral quandaries that arise, revealing Rohmer's keen insight into the human condition and his ability to capture the nuances of romantic and moral dilemmas with finesse. Kevin and I will discuss this series of films and our personal favourites of the bunch. Kevin Mikos is a writer, content creator, and co-host of the Looks Like a Movie Podcast.

1 Mastering Suspense: Hitchcock’s Bomb Theory Explained | Raiders of the Lost Podcast | McFly's Movie House #009 53:39
Alfred Hitchcock, the master of suspense, revolutionized filmmaking with his innovative storytelling techniques. Among his many contributions is the "Bomb Theory" analogy, where he explained the difference between suspense and surprise. Hitchcock likened a bomb under a table to a surprise, where it suddenly explodes, eliciting a momentary shock. In contrast, suspense is created by revealing the bomb's presence to the audience while keeping it hidden from the characters, intensifying the anticipation. This analogy encapsulates Hitchcock's mastery of manipulating audience emotions and underscores his profound understanding of the psychology of suspense in filmmaking. James, Anthony, and I will choose six movies that use this method (three by Hitchcock and three more modern interpretations) and discuss our favourites. Anthony and James Deveney run the highly successful Raiders of the Lost Podcast while working as filmmakers in the industry. In 2023, they released their short film, Midnight Ruin, and have more projects in the works.

(1992), and Through the Olive Trees (1994), hold immense significance in world cinema. Kiarostami intertwines fiction and reality through this trilogy, blurring the lines between documentary and narrative filmmaking. Set against the rural backdrop of Koker in Iran, the trilogy explores themes of resilience, compassion, and the human spirit in the face of adversity. Kiarostami's distinctive approach, characterized by long takes and a poetic visual style, invites viewers to contemplate the essence of life and the intricate connections between the characters and their surroundings. The Koker Trilogy is a testament to Kiarostami’s artistic prowess and ability to capture the universal through the lens of the seemingly ordinary, leaving an enduring impact on contemporary cinema. Matthew and I will discuss these three films and why they're so powerful. Also included will be Taste of Cherry, another one of his films that, although not part of the trilogy, deserves to be mentioned. Matthew Germenis is a writer, podcaster, and movie aficionado. He has written extensively on Philip Roth, Wordsworth, and 20th-century American history. Matthew recently worked as an editor for the Institute for Thomas Paine Studies podcast, Public History in a Virtual Age. Bright Wall/Dark Room includes his essay "Hollywood's Last Cowboy" on Leonardo DiCaprio's Westerns. His podcast Visceral Reactions explores the intersection of pop culture, history, and politics throughout the last century of horror movies.

Bryan Starr is a filmmaker and content creator who is also incredibly interested in movies that tackle the American suburban dream. While he has run Bryan Starr Cinematography for seven years, Bryan started creating content in 2020.
