  • Trilogies - Episode 8 - The Dark Knight Trilogy
    2024/10/14

    Welcome to the 8th episode of our Trilogies series. We hope you enjoyed our last episode where we looked at The Apu Trilogy directed by Satyajit Ray. This episode we are looking at comic book movie cinema. The main subject of this trilogy just had their 85th birthday. Batman himself created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. This episode we discuss and review The Dark Knight Trilogy: Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Each starring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman and directed by Christopher Nolan.


    After Batman & Robin bombed critically and earned a modest intake at the box office, the Batman franchise lay dormant for a while. Films like a fifth Batman film set to have George Clooney return as Batman was cancelled, along with a Batman: Year One adaptation. Christopher Nolan fresh off the indie success of Following, Memento and also Insomnia, his first big studio film, was tasked to bring the character back to life. His take on the Batman mythos was a lot more grounded in realism and more character based and less of the Toyetic films Joel Schumacher were directing last time.


    Nolan's three Batman films are some of the best and influential superhero films of all time and he really shows you how its done. He tells a great and moving cinematic tale over three films and finishes the trilogy (mostly) in a satisfying way. You can find The Dark Knight trilogy to stream on Max and you can also find it on DVD/Blu-Ray.


    We hope you continue to enjoy this new Trilogies Series we're doing and we also hope you enjoy this episode.

    During the podcast we talk about this man: comic creator and writer Bill Finger. Bill Finger for a long time was not credited for co-creating Batman while Bob Kane received sole credit. He was a key figure in creating that character and actually had a lot of substantial input into bringing Batman to life. You can learn more about his story in the documentary Batman & Bill. You can see the trailer here.


    Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen in the western The Outlaws which is a available to watch in the US & the UK on Amazon and Apple TV. You can read a review about the film on Collider.

  • Trilogies - Episode 7 - The Apu Trilogy
    2024/09/20

    Welcome to the 7th episode of our Trilogies series. We hope you enjoyed our last episode where we looked at the Back To The Future Trilogy. We are changing things up on these Trilogy episodes just slightly and we are going to be talking about our first non-American/Hollywood trilogy. This episode we will be taking you to the Bengal region of India to discuss and review the classic and influential trilogy: The Apu Trilogy directed by Satyajit Ray. One of the most influential filmmakers of all time. The films include Pather Panchali (Song of the Little Road), Aparajito (The Unvanquished), and Apur Sansar (The World of Apu) and they are based on two books written by Bibhutibhusan Banerjee. The films were shot over the course of five years with the same crew members. Pather Panchali was Ray's directorial debut.


    On this episode, we do go into detail on these classic pieces of cinema from India, films very much inspired by Italian Neo-Realism and majority of the films have non-classically trained actors. We recommend you watch the films first before listening to this episode, if you haven't watched them already. We do go into spoilers. They are available on Blu-Ray and also on The Criterion Channel.


    We hope you continue to enjoy this new Trilogies Series we're doing and we also hope you enjoy this episode.


    Stay Tuned for more!


    We will be returning back to our usual programming after taking it a bit easy this summer. So stay tuned for more episodes, like Liam & Noel Gallagher: we're back!

  • Trilogies - Episode 6 - Back To The Future
    2024/09/02

    Welcome to the 6th episode of our Trilogies series. We hope you enjoyed our last episode where we looked at the original three films in The Bourne Trilogy starring Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. On this episode, we look back in time at one of other favourite family films. We are looking at the Back To The Future trilogy. All three films are directed by Robert Zemeckis, a film that can be considered as his big break. It stars Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd as Marty McFly and Doc Brown. The first film was released in 1985. The following two sequels, Back To The Future Parts 2 and 3 were filmed back to back and were released in 1989 and 1990.


    This maybe the first time in this series where we have talked about a complete trilogy that does not continue after its conclusion. Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale have made it known that Back To The Future will never be remade in their lifetime. Let's hope they stay alive for a long time. This trilogy perfectly encapsulates the 80s and are hallmarks of that decade that filmmaker Quentin Tarantino doesn't think too highly of. They also capture Ronald Reagan's America very well and all three films are timeless bits of entertainment with great and moving scenes with quotable bits of dialogue and amazing effects.


    We hope you continue to enjoy this new Trilogies Series we're doing and we also hope you enjoy this episode.
