37.2 Kino in Deutschland

Mar 22 2025 47 mins

If any of you have been following along then you know that my son Luke spent his fall semester in Berlin. In between trips to European capitals, taste testing the continent’s best beer, and understanding the dangers of the AfD, he also took a German Film Class that spanned the 20th Century. He also saw a few flicks over there and we compared notes. This is our conversation. You

37.1 Hitch And 2024

Feb 15 2025 91 mins

After Rear Window, Dave and I decided to find out how long into the night we could go drinking beer, talking about Hitchcock, and discussing his 2024 Letterbxd, David Lynch, Beavers, the nature of God, the duality of man. The meaning of life. Is wrestling fixed? What is Martinizing and why does it only take an hour? You can find the Super 70 Podcast wherever you find podcasts, an

37 Rear Window (1954)

Jan 30 2025 120 mins

In one of the most magnificent careers in cinema history, Alfred Hitchcock outdid himself with a run from 1951 to 1960 that encapsulated not only some of the best Hollywood films of the decade, but of all time. In the middle of this impressive flex is Hitch’s complex ode to gender roles, gender relationships, and expectations. Hitchcock, who already had gone everywhere and done e

36.4 Don't Google "Roy Cohn's Bedroom"

Dec 27 2024 45 mins

Luke and I start off by discussing Ali Abbassi’s controversial biopic “The Apprentice.” We try to talk about the President Elect’s record as a rapist, his friendship with Roy Cohn, and well... at least we tried. Meander we did through our cinema experiences while Luke is in Deutschland. We discuss what we’ve seen, what we haven’t, and then Luke takes plenty of time scro

36.3 Beetlejuice Squared

36.2 Joker 2- Wahnsinn Für Zwei

Nov 23 2024 24 mins

Luke is going to school in Berlin this semester and there’s no good reason why he can’t keep up with the release schedule. In between Brewmaster classes, history classes, and yes, a true to form Deutch Kino Class, Luke has been streaming Prime and heading down to you guessed it, Berlin Alexanderplatz, or Zoo Station to see what it is the rest of the world says is great... or su

36.1 Batman Schmatman

Nov 16 2024 96 mins

Once again we are faced with the fact that sometimes the best conversations are the meandering ones we have after the commentary is over. I asked Warren Hayes and Paul Emig to stay over a little loner, have a couple of beers, and talk about our favorite caped crusader, why comic book films are fading, and why they still enthrall us. But first, David Lynch. And later, the English Pa

36 Batman (1989)

Oct 20 2024 130 mins

In one of the bravest acts of Cinema History, Warner Brothers decided to give Tim Burton, a former Disney animator with a whopping two directing credits to his name, the keys to the Batcave. One of Burton’s most controversial decisions, casting comedic actor Michael Keaton as the brooding millionaire Bruce Wayne. The cinema event of the summer, Batman 1989 touched pop culture in

35.1 The Phantom Bonus

Sep 22 2024 109 mins

After we recorded The Phantom Menace Commentary, Warren and Paul and I pontificated on the many reasons the film did not succeed even though it had tons of pluses to it. We discuss the action figure market, the genius of Carrie Fisher, and that thing we all hate with a passion: sand.

35 The Phantom Menace (1999)

Aug 22 2024 136 mins

After sixteen years of a fanbase growing into adulthood, George Lucas dropped fifty millon dollars of Lucasfilm Limited’s money into the surest bet in Hollywood history: The first film in a new trilogy of Star Wars films. Though distributed by Fox and produced by Rick McCallum, Star Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace would be exactly like the first film from 1977. Lucas would ha
