Dec 02 2024 62 mins  
We did it, folks. We sat down with filmmaker Paul Schrader for a discussion of his new film OH, CANADA (spoiler-free), political readings of his films, never-made projects, and even a few thoughts on Clint Eastwood. Afterward, the Pod Casty boys talk about the experience. Join us in a few weeks for a full episode on OH, CANADA, which opens December 6th in New York and expands to LA

Schrader Ep. 37: Epaulogue

Nov 22 2024 79 mins  
Well, we've reached the end of our Paul Schrader retrospective - for a couple weeks until OH, CANADA comes out - and it's time to discuss our findings. What did we learn about Schrader? About film? About podcasting? About ourselves? Can we remember all the different ways we got sick and hurt since March? Where are we going next, and when? Thank you to everyone who has followed alon

BONUS: Technical Chat with New Orleans Gardener Bob Martin

Nov 15 2024 53 mins  
As a little bonus, we talked some more MASTER GARDENER with Jake's old friend and professional New Orleans gardener Bob Martin! Lots of technical gardening chat, native NOLA plants, gardening movies, and some commiseration between friends of Jake that he very quickly shuts down. Enjoy! Check out Bob's band, Bobbi: https://bobbiloves2play.bandcamp.com/album/custom-bobbi Follow Pod C

Schrader Ep. 36: Master Gardener (2022) with Matthew Germenis

Nov 15 2024 138 mins  
It's the end of our Schrader project - for a few weeks, at least - as we tackle the final film of his "Man In A Room" trilogy, 2022's MASTER GARDENER. Joining us is New Orleans-based writer Matthew Germenis! We're talking horticulture as both a restorative and reactionary practice, the film's ultimately tangential relationship to far-right movements, reformed Neo-Nazis, the legacy

Schrader Ep. 35: There Are No Saints (2022)

Nov 08 2024 117 mins  
It's the one you've all been waiting for - our episode on Alfonso Pineda Ulloa's 2014 film THERE ARE NO SAINTS, adapted from an unmade Schrader script, which sat on a shelf for 8 years before getting dumped on VOD after his FIRST REFORMED/CARD COUNTER comeback. What's that? You don't know what this movie is and you don't really want to hear us talk about it? Great news - this episo

Schrader Ep. 34: The Card Counter (2021) with Roxana Hadadi

Nov 01 2024 120 mins  
Ante up, listeners - we're dealing out another big one this week. Paul Schrader's 2021 follow-up to FIRST REFORMED, the (ostensible) poker drama THE CARD COUNTER, was another "Man in a Room" film, this time exploring the moral weight of past actions. Joining us to talk about Abu Ghraib, Iraq War films, and how much a filmmaker's stated politics really matter compared to what's on s

Schrader Ep. 33: Unproduced Schrader

Oct 25 2024 133 mins  
We're taking a detour this week to talk about some Paul Schrader projects that never made it to the screen - the Montreal-set gangster film QUÉBECOIS!, the Elio Petri remake INVESTIGATION, psychedelic murder mystery THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION, film festival-set stage plays Berlinale and The Cleopatra Club, biopics EIGHT SCENES FROM THE LIFE OF HANK WILLIAMS and GERSHWIN, and the Bret
