The Conversation Show: The Films of Toshio Matsumoto

In this episode Brock and Jason dig into the narrative features of Japanese filmmaker/artist/genius Toshio Matsumoto. Matsumoto directed only four narrative films: 'Funeral Parade of Roses,' 'Shura,' 'The War of the Sixteen Year Olds,' and 'Dogura Magura.' There is no way to do Matsumoto justice, but we try anyway. We're all just doing our best.

’Past Lives’ and The End of David Gordon Green: ’Joe’ and ’’Prince Avalanche’

It's the end of our series on David Gordon Green, screamers. This series didn't turn out quite like we expected. We skip the stoner comedies and jump straight to Green's "return to form" with the films 'Joe' and 'Prince Avalanche.' We also discuss Celine Song's debut 'Past Lives' (which is a perfect film). And Jason works on his Italian accent. Stick around for some recommendations.

’Sick of Myself,’ and David Gordon Green Part 2

We're back on the path towards David Gordon Green enlightenment. We take a look at 'Undertow,' and 'Snow Angels' and discuss how they differ from the director's first two films. Before that we talk about what it would take to be a better person, and the new Norwegian satire 'Sick of Myself.' Stick around for movie recommendations.

It's more than just movies today, screamers. This episode is full of hot takes, and...well, observations. Brock and Jason dig into the films of the late Japanese film director, animator, screenwriter, manga artist, Satoshi Kon. There's a lot to unpack.
