Best Movies Of 2022

Mar 01 2023 76 mins  
Are we the last podcast to do a year-in-review for cinema in 2022? Probably! But that just means you've already forgotten all the films you saw last year. Today, we'll remind you, and hopefully give you some leads on movies from around the world you might've missed.

Top 10 Movies Of 2018

Feb 12 2019 76 mins  
Let's count down our favorite movies of 2018 with our traditional guest on such occasions, Josh Fischberg, a.k.a. Cousin Josh from the Harris Football Podcast. We've watched a lot of films -- some even in black-and-white! some even in non-English languages! -- and winnowed our lists. Our hope is you'll find it fun to hear us talk about your favorites, and maybe that you'll be intro

Top 10 Movies Of 2017

Feb 15 2018 97 mins  
Our annual tradition of counting down our favorite movies of calendar years continues, with a discussion of the best in cinema from 2017. We're firmly of the opinion that ranking art -- and even giving awards for art -- is stupid, but people like lists! And what's great about shows like this is: hopefully it exposes you to stuff you've not seen, and it makes your world a little big

TV: Damon Lindelof & Tom Perrotta talk "The Leftovers"

Jun 26 2017 61 mins  
In just three seasons and 28 episodes, "The Leftovers" has taken a place among the great series ever created. Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta discuss grief and the unknown, and how they translated a fringe HBO series about what's left behind after The Rapture into a sci-fi, psychological, spy, family drama that resonates so loudly in our connection-free times.

Film: "The House On Coco Road" Director Damani Baker

Jun 19 2017 54 mins  
Damani Baker was a little kid when his family got caught up in the U.S. invasion of Grenada. That's a crazy story: Ronald Reagan invading a tiny island nation for flimsy reasons. But that's only part of Damani's documentary, "The House On Coco Road." Damani also digs into his family's history and his mother's activism in what is legitimately one of 2017's most moving films. Notes:

Josh Larsen: Movies Are Prayers

Jun 12 2017 46 mins  
Our buddy Josh Larsen has a new book entitled "Movies Are Prayers," and it's the jumping-off point for a fun conversation about films that give us "religious experiences." Whether that means a connected feeling to God (if that's something you believe in) or simply an understanding of the world beyond your own skin, we think you'll take away a deeper sense of how powerful cinema can

Novelist Joshua Ferris

May 22 2017 60 mins  
"Then We Came To The End" is one of the greatest and funniest novels about having your soul crushed at work that's ever been written. Joshua Ferris came by his knowledge of office life legitimately: though he always wanted to be a fiction writer, he spent time in an ad agency, understanding how tough it is to give away your creativity to a big company. Now it's ten years later, an

Music: New Pornographers' Carl Newman

May 08 2017 52 mins  
Carl Newman is the beating heart of the New Pornographers, and the New Pornographers are amazing. They've been around since 2000's "Mass Romantic," and seven great records later, they're still going strong. We talk with Carl about how the music industry has changed, the role of the artist in discouraging political times, and how musical boredom has redefined his personal musical ou
