Movie Night Extravaganza

Forrest, Conan Neutron, and Kt Baldassaro talk about Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 animated cyberpunk action film Akira! 

Based on Katsuhiro Otomo's manga series of the same name, Akira is an action packed and incredibly stylish cautionary tale about scientific experimentation and the mindset that led to the development of nuclear weapons. 

In a Post-World War 3 Neo-Tokyo.. rebuilt after a massive explosion.. biker gangs roam a city with a badly corrupt government and increasingly powerful military that's on the brink of collapse. 

The Capsules, led by Shotaro Kaneda and his hapless best friend Tetsuo Shima, get thrown into the middle of a story that involves a secret government program to experiment on children, the anti-government resistance, a mysterious figure named Akira, and 3 psychic children called the Espers #akira #manga #katsuhirootomo #toho #epic #marvel #cyberpunk #tokyo #neo #neotokyo #moviepodcast #sciencefiction #scienceexperiment #moviepodcast #filmpodcast #movielovers #animation 

Akira is widely credited with bringing a new level of interest to American Audiences who had only just started our fascination with Manga and Japanese Pop Culture.

It has also been pointed out that it got some predictions.. like the 2020 Tokyo Olympics... eerily right.

Episode 253: Akira

On our third Movie Night Dystopia episode, Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kristina Oakes, and Kt Baldassaro talk to filmmaker Jared Skolnick about Marc Caro & Jean-Pierre Jeunet's the City of Lost Children. 

The City of Lost Children is a fairy tale like surrealist black comedy about a mad scientist who kidnaps orphans in order to steal their dreams. 

Two years ago, on Movie Night Apocalypse, we talked to Jared and Kt about Caro-Jeunet's earlier film Delicatessen. 

The City of Lost Children stars Ron Perlman, who learned literally just enough French to say his lines, as well as Dominique Pinon, Daniel Emilfork, Jean-Claude Dreyfus, Cemetery Man's François Hadji-Lazaro, and Judith Vittet. #ronperlman #french #frenchcinema #surrealism #dreams #jeanpierre #marccaro #jeanpierrejeunet #amelie #filmpodcast #moviepodcast #horrormoviepodcast #cinema #frenchmovie #dystopian

 Jared's latest project is WOODFELLAS: While traveling to the countryside to 'deal with’ an informant, three Boston mobsters run afoul of a murderous woodland cult. Cornered in a cabin, they must band together to survive a siege of zealots ready to make them their next sacrifice.

Episode 254: The City of Lost Children with Jared Skolnick

Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kt Baldassaro, and Kristina Oakes discuss Alfonso Cuarón's Children of Men Way back on Episode 45 we did an episode on Children of Men, but having a big cast of characters on that one made it harder to get a good discussion on a very bleak movie: https://youtu.be/O_N7BVq4I7s

 So, we're redoing it with just the crew, and more than ever with the situation in England and the Xenophobic Anti-Immigrant Race Riots back in the summer, it's quite a time to revisit it!!! 

Children of Men shows a world, technically the future as its 2027, where for 18 years mankind has ceased to have children. Most of the world has collapsed, but Britain apparently soldiers on. 

In this world, Clive Owens plays Theo, a boring government employee with a secret politically radical past, who just wants to cynically go about his day in a dying world. 

When his estranged Activist wife Julian, (Julianne Moore), shows up as leader of the Pro-Immigrant Rights group the Fishes asking for his help getting a very special refugee to the coast. 

Micheal Caine, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Clare-Hope Ashitey also star and Danny Huston and Ed Westwick make cameos in this incredibly bleak dystopian film. #alfonsocuarón #alfonsocuarón #cliveowen #childrenofmen #dannyhuston #moviepodcast #filmpodcast #dystopian #Brazil #terrygilliam #juliannemoore #britishfilm #britishcinema #refugees #immigration

Directed by Denis Villeneuve and filmed by Roger Deakins and starring Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, and Ana de Armas, it's safe to say this is right up our alley.

Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kt Baldassaro, and Kristina Oakes talk about Olivia Wilde's Don't Worry Darling. This is our last Dystopian December episode AND our last episode of 2024!

 Harry Styles and Florence Pugh star with Chris Pine and Olivia Wilde in one of the most controversial and polarizing films of 2022. 

Florence Pugh stars as Alice, a House Wife who begins to feel like her company town, run by a strange man, is hiding a dark secret. 

While her husband Jack (Harry Styles), and all the men in the town, work on a secret experimental project at Victory Headquarters that the women are forbidden from entering and discouraged from talking about. #florencepugh #oliviawilde #harrystyles #onedirection #dystopian #dystopianfuture #dystopia #chrispine #nickkroll #dontworrybehappy #dontworrydarling #ai #simulation

Episode 257: Don't Worry Darling

Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kristina Oakes, and Kt Baldassaro talk about Robert Eggers NEW Nosferatu remake starring Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlok, Lily Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, and Willem Dafoe 

That's right, Robert Eggers made Nosferatu "Count Orlok" again after Herzog's questionable choice to call Klaus Kinski's Vampyre "Count Dracula." 

Back in October, we talked about the original 1922 F. W. Murnau 'Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror' https://youtube.com/live/tHD5ehcwerY 

We were disappointed that we couldn't finish off Vampire Month with Robert Eggers new Nosferatu remake, the latest of several including the famous Herzog one, but it's finally out!!! 

Just in time for our FIRST episode of 2025. #roberteggers #nosferatu #vampire #vampyre #thelighthouse #billskarsgard #nicholashoult #lilyrose #depp #dracula #johnnydepp #northman #thenorthman #gothic #gothicromance #billskarsgård #alexanderskarsgard #orlok #countorlok #bramstokersdracula #silent #herozg #wernerherzog

Episode 258: Nosferatu (2024)

Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kristina Oakes, and Kt Baldassaro talk to Alexis Gentry of @trashwire about S.S. Rajamouli's 2022 action historical drama RRR. 

S.S. Rajamouli has been called India's biggest director of all time. 

RRR stars Ram Charan and NTR as two of India's Revolutionary Figures Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. 

It also stars Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody, and Olivia Morris as the British Governor's Family as they control the brutal vicious British Raj that subjugated India for centuries. 

It was India's most expensive film ever made at the time and had an international reach that surprised even the director and cast #rrr #rrrmoviepublicreaction #ssrajamouli #ntr #ramcharan #tollywoodnews #tollywoodmovies #tollywoodsongs #naatunaatu

Episode 259: RRR with Alexis Gentry of Trashwire

Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kristina Oakes, Kt Baldassaro, Marta Mcfly @mcflysmoviehouse and Rayyvana @RayyvanaPolitics discuss David Lynch's Lost Highway 

We planned this episode a couple months ago, before we obviously found out that David Lynch had passed. 

So, I'm sure we're going to talk about David Lynch in general during this episode, but it's not the reason we planned it!! 

Lost Highway is David Lynch's 1997 return to filmmaking after Twin Peaks and Twin Peak's Fire Walk With Me.. although Wild at Heart was also made during this time in 1990. 

After things didn't go as well as David Lynch hoped in the TV industry after Twin Peaks, he entered an even more surrealist and fascinating moment in his career.. with Lost Highway and then Mulholland Drive. 

Lost Highway stars Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, Balthazar Getty, Robert Blake, Gary Busey, Natasha Gregson Wagner, Robert Loggia, and with appearances by Richard Pryor, Giovanni Ribisi, Henry Rollins, Marilyn Manson and Twiggy Ramirez, Jack Nance, and Mink Stole. 

The music was worked on by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and has an insane mix including David Bowie, Lou Reed, Rammstein, Marilyn Manson, and the Smashing Pumpkins #davidlynch #Lynch #bluevelvet #mulhollanddrive #losthighway #twinpeaks #billpullman #podcast #moviepodcast #filmpodcast #patriciaarquette #marilynmanson #trentreznor #richardpryor #neonoir #noir #henryrollins #robertloggia #davidlynchweatherreport #balthazar #getty
