Film Flam

Chaos Ensues

In this episode of Film Flam, Colin and Sean dig into another old, strange movie, and end up feeling strange, again. Werner Herzog’s "Aguirre, The Wrath of God" turns all our hopes of victory and epic accomplishment to a fine dust that Herzog equates to the whole human project. But there are so many lessons to learn spanning gold, unsalted fish, and opportunistic monkey

For this episode, two people who sound just like Colin and Sean (but with French accents) learn for themselves that truth is indeed stranger than fiction (shout-out Emma Thompson). The Imposter teaches the two many lessons better left untaught, including that apparently any parent could be fooled into thinking literally anyone—no matter how incredibly distinct they are from their

Welcome back to Film Flam Sunday, the ep is finally here. You’re welcome you grovelers. In this special spooky episode FilmFlamSean and FilmFlamColin cover their first horror film, John Carpenter’s classic 1980s film The Thing.

Film Flam is back again, this time to tackle the foreign fantasy frenzy that is Pan’s Labyrinth.

In this week's electrifying analysis Film Flam Co-Hosts Colin & Sean discuss college dropout Woody Allen's box office disappointment Manhattan Murder Mystery. No conversation in which ol' Woodrow is mentioned would be complete without a slapdash chat about the separation of art from the artist and we here at Film Flam were only too happy to oblige. So open up a rest

Today we review either Ingmar or Ingrid Bergman’s Through a Glass Darkly, a movie about three men and one woman. For the intro, Sean asks Colin to ask Sean a question, which leads to about as insightful an intro segment as it sounds like it would. Thankfully, they quickly get into the movie, with Colin finding no objection to Martin the Pervert, Sean saying God isn’t interestin

In the opening segment of this episode of Film Flam, Colin and Sean ask themselves: where are all the best actors? Colin claims they’re all with us right now while Sean refuses to have an opinion and instead gives vague economics-y reasons why they might be doing tv rather than flim. And in the end, it seems Sean can’t name a single actor. Then, they dive into Andrew Davis’s
