Also, this week Adam recommends “Stir of Echoes” (available on Hoopla & Tubi), Joey recommends “The Blair Witch Project” (available on Paramount+ & Freevee) – go check out that old 1001 by 1 episode, and Britt recommends “Pyewacket” (available on Prime & Tubi).

It is spooky season…and by that we mean October – AND IT’S TIME FOR SOME HORROR & HORROR RELATED FILMS! And we start off with quite a divisive film that may be a rift in the 1001 by 1 crew. We are talking about Sam Raimi’s career-launching film “Evil Dead”. Join us for some love of the film (Britt & Joey talking about their favorite shots and scares) and for some hate (Adam hating…pretty much everything). What is the most consistent horror franchise of all time? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!!! Also, this week Britt recommends “The Queen of Black Magic” and we have a double recommendation as Joey & Adam both recommend “Past Lives”.

We’re going back to the 1950s (well…the 1990s…) and we’re going back to L.A. for the last time this season to discuss the Curtis Hanson masterpiece “L.A. Confidential”. Join Britt, Joey, and Adam as they discuss ensemble casts of the 1990s, variations from the James Ellroy novel (and what a s**t he is), and all things technical (the cinematography, production design, and score get some specific love). Also, this week Joey recommends “Transformers: Rise of the Beast” (currently on Paramount +), Adam recommends another Curtis Hanson film “Wonder Boys”(currently on Paramount + & Hoopla), and Britt recommends “Hard Boiled” (available to rent on Prime).

We did something a little different this week…WE DRAFTED!!! That’s right, folks: we created arbitrary rules, randomly picked an order, and our 1001 by 1 heroes selected the films for next season’s lineup. Adam, Britt, and Joey were limited to certain selections, a wild card pick, and 1 director to rank. So, if you want to get a jump start into Season 5, listen up and start watching some flicks!

Where would “The Host” end up after our last episode? Does “Snowpiercer” hold up? Will anyone have something in the top spot that isn’t Parasite??? You’ll have to tune in to find out!

After you jump to the left and step to the right, you may shiver with antici…pation as we discuss the 1975 rock’n’roll musical “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”. Join the crew as they discuss the things that make this movie great (mainly, and emphatically, Tim Curry), make it not so great (consent, the performance of Rocky), interesting (is Meat Loaf hot in this???), and devastating (recent remarks from the creator of the show/“Riff Raff” – Richard O’Brien). Also, this week we recommended cult musicals: Joey with “Little Shop of Horrors” (currently on Max), Adam with “Cannibal! the Musical” (currently on Tubi), and Britt with “The Lure” (currently on Max & The Criterion Channel).

We’re moving from one iconic film legend to the next this week: Humphrey Bogart in John Huston’s “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre”. The 1001 by 1 crew is a bit perplexed this week as they try and grapple with Bogart’s character, if the film is a “western”, and if the overall themes work. Plus, the director steals a child and we recast the major roles with contemporary actors. Also, this week Adam recommends “The Standoff at Sparrow Creek” (available on Tubi), Britt recommends “Michael Clayton” (available on HBO Max), and Joey recommends the series “BEEF” (available on Netflix).

If it’s a movie about eating a bunch of eggs, exploitative car washes, and overt Jesus references then we must be talking about the Paul Newman led “Cool Hand Luke”. Join the 1001 by 1 crew as they break it all down – plus Joey’s thoughts on Florida, Adam’s mishandling of his notes, and…does Britt not like Paul Newman??? Also, a dual recommend from Adam and Joey this week as they suggest “Brawl in Cell Block 99” (available on Tubi) while Britt recommends the wonderful AppleTV+ series “Severance”.

Didn’t we just leave L.A.? Well…WE’RE BACK! And not only is it in the City of Angels, but we brought back Ryan Gosling to discuss Nicolas Winding Refn’s uber-cool flick “Drive”. Join the 1001 by 1 crew as we discuss the killer soundtrack/score, if we believe Albert Brooks as the heavy, Driver’s moral code, and the differences from novel. And – what’s this: did Adam forget a list for the episode??? Also, this week Britt recommends “Redline” (available on VUDU or Tubi), Joey recommends “Nightcrawler” (available on HBO Max), and Adam recommends “Take Shelter” (available to rent on most major platforms).

We FINALLY leave L.A….and we do so by crossing the Pacific Ocean to discuss Akira Kurosawa’s seminal film: “Seven Samurai”. Join the 1001 by 1 crew as we discuss planning missions, the importance of the length, and which of the Seven Samurai would we be? In addition, we ponder over Toshiro Mifune’s performance and whether or not it was too “big” (not unlike his sword). Also, this week Adam recommends the film inspired by this one, “The Magnificent Seven”(available on Prime, Tubi, Kanopy, and many more), Britt recommends another samurai film with “Sword of the Stranger” (available to rent on Microsoft), and Joey keeps it Kurosawa adjacent by recommending “Living” (available to rent on most major platforms).

We just can’t get enough of L.A. over here at 1001 by 1, but this week we jumped from the 1980s to the 2010s and started dancing on the hoods of our cars because we are breaking down Damien Chazelle’s “La La Land”. The gang breaks it all down here: the chemistry of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, the movie musical homages, the alternate timeline for our young lovers, and all things jazz. Also, this week Britt recommends “Starry Eyes” (currently on Tubi) while Joey and Adam keep things Chazelle oriented recommending “Babylon” (currently on Paramount+) & “First Man” (available to rent on most major platforms).

That’s right – this week we discuss David Lynch’s feature-length debut: “Eraserhead”.

Take a long horse ride down a dusty road with us as we the discuss the gorgeous design of the film, the director-unapproved “American Cut” of the film, and whether or not Burt Lancaster works in this film.

Do some leg stretches and hit your spotlight as we break down this film: the Moira Shearer love triangle, the Hans Christian Andersen story the film is based on, and the absolutely magical ballet sequence in the middle of the film. BUT WAIT – is this another film that the three hosts don’t agree on? You’ll have to tune in to find out. Also, this week Britt recommends the 2018 version of “Suspiria” (currently on Prime), Joey recommends “The Menu” (currently on HBO Max0, and Adam recommends “Smile” (currently on Paramount+).

Joey continues his selections in Season 4 and he’s keeping it dark, black & white, and slightly disturbed as we chat about Robert Egger’s sophomore feature: “The Lighthouse”. The crew hits a stumbling block with this film as it is the first film with no consensus as to whether or not it should be in the book. Britt, Joey, & Adam break down the dialogue rooted in the time the film is set, uber attention to details, and the menacing birds. Also, this week Joey recommends “Midsommar”(currently on Kanopy & Showtime), Adam recommends “Tár” (available to rent of most major platfoms), and Britt recommends “The Ritual” (currently on Netflix).

Well, it seemed only appropriate to bring that next film into the spotlight for our new season – and we’re talking about Park Chan-wook’s style-bending thriller “Oldboy”. Join us as we delve into the world of Oh Dae-su and his hotel/prison, the huge directorial choices on display, the colors, the performances, and…of course…that f***ed up ending!

Ian has been gone for a year, and while the world keeps moving along we wanted to find a way to celebrate Ian and his favorite films. Adam teamed up with previous guests and podcasts hosts Myke (from CineMusts) and Kieran (from Best Picture Cast) to tackle the worldbuilding director that Ian admired: Ridley Scott. These gentlemen discuss the entire Ridley filmography, frequent collaborators, and embark on the daunting task of creating the definitive Top 5 Ridley Scott films. His highs were super-high, his lows we super-low, but love them or hate them Ridley’s films invited you into a world – a world that Ian loved frequenting.
It’s the start of a new year…and f**k it – we are going to make the best of 2022. It both pains me and fills me with pride to release this episode on “Shaft”. Less than 24 hours after we recorded this episode, my good friend and co-host, Ian Woodington, tragically took his own life. While it hurts to write that out, I feel a tremendous amount of gratitude to share this audio with you. If you like the episode and what we discuss – thank you. Honestly, this one goes out to everyone who knew Ian. Miss you buddy…
I don’t have anything very witty to say about this episode: we end our “Tribute to Ian” series by talking about his favorite film “Withnail & I”. I was so honored to have Liz Woodington (Ian’s wife and guest on our “The Dark Knight” episode) join me to discuss a film so beloved to Ian and so many others. We discuss the peculiarities of Bruce Robinson, the immense quotability of the script, and the wonderful payoff of that final Hamlet speech. Talking about this film without Ian is not the way that anybody wants to hear it, but Liz brought her unique perspective and Ian’s love for this film to the discussion and I could not have hoped for a better episode. This week, Liz recommends “The Boat that Rocked” (available to rent on most major platforms) and Adam recommends “Life Itself” (available on Prime, Kanopy, & Hoopla). I wish I could say that “1001 by 1” is going to continue, but I’m not sure if it will. Please continue to follow us and stay tuned as we slowly re-release our entire back catalog so that Ian’s legacy can live on.

Quite fitting that our 2nd to last episode in our “Tribute to Ian” series was his 2nd favorite film. As he was a self-proclaimed “Ridley Scott fanboy”, we will be discussing the Sci-Fi noir “Blade Runner” this week. Adam is joined by Brittany Reinholz-Hobson (from our “Audition” episode) to discuss a myriad of topics on this complicated film: from the different cuts to Ridley’s struggles with the producers; from the treatment of Sean Young to the unicorn and “who is a replicant?” question. This movie is a mountain of talking points – and while we did not get to everything, we feel good about the depth we got to on each idea. Also, this week Brittany recommends “I Saw the Devil” (currently ad-free on Kanopy) and Adam recommends “Battle Royale” (also currently ad-free on Kanopy).

Nothing hits home more than nostalgia – and the next film in our “Tribute to Ian” series if chock full of it. We’re jumping into the 70s to discuss the (outlier) George Lucas film “American Graffiti”. This week, Adam is joined by Chas Messmer (from our “The Blair Witch Project episode”) to discuss this much beloved film: the epic soundtrack, the idea of this movie as a “comedy”, and the legacy that George Lucas will leave behind. Also, this week Chas recommends Nia DaCosta’s “Candyman” (currently in theaters) and Adam recommends “Unfriended (currently on Netflix).

We’ve reached the halfway point in our “Tribute to Ian” series and this one takes us to Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite with Stanley Kubrick and “2001: A Space Odyssey”. Adam is joined this week by podcaster and film columnist Brian Keiper to discuss everything from mimes as monkeys to whether or not HAL was a sympathetic character. While this film pushes the bounds of reality, we try to keep the conversation as grounded as possible. Also, Adam and Brian bring you their Top 5 Kubrick films.

Week 3 in our “Tribute to Ian” series takes us one year ahead from our “Lawrence of Arabia” episode to another epic of a different sort – John Sturges’ “The Great Escape”. Please tune in as Myke from “CineMusts” joins Adam this week to discuss this rollicking film about the endurance, the need for freedom, and just what the hell is wrong with Bosely Crowther. Is this the epitome of escapes movies? Was Steve McQueen’s behavior on set acceptable? How much was this film shafted at the Oscars? We discuss all this and more. Also, this week Myke recommends “Stalag 17” (available for free on Kanopy or Hoopla) & Adam recommends “It’s Such a Beautiful Day” (available on The Criterion Channel).

Continuing on with our “Tribute to Ian” series takes to 1962 and one of the biggest, grandest, & most monumental films of all time: David Lean’s “Lawrence of Arabia. This week, Adam is joined by Kieran B. of the Best Picture Cast (also on our “Roman Holiday” episode) to discuss the magnificent production design/editing/cinematography/score, the absurdly negative review from Bosley Crowther, and how Gregory Peck is walking around with Peter O’Toole’s Academy Award. Also, this week Kieran recommends “Million Dollar Baby” (currently on Netflix & HBO Max) and Adam recommends “Pig” (available to rent on most major platforms).

We begin our “Tribute to Ian” series with the oldest film of this selection, but maybe the most resonant for today’s society: Sidney Lumet’s “12 Angry Men”. On the episode, Adam is joined by his wife Melissa (co-host of the Below Freezing Podcast & heard on our “Singin’ in the Rain” episode) to discuss Henry Fonda’s enduring (yet somehow not Oscar nominated) performance, the violence & fragility of Lee J. Cobb’s Juror #3, and the wonderful direction/choreography of Sidney Lumet’s “theatrical” staging. All this and a joint recommendation for the “Fear Street” trilogy on Netflix is in store for you.

Join the guys at 1001 by 1 as they discuss whether or not this is a “screwball comedy”, Almodovar’s sense of style, and perhaps the greatest performance of a Jehovah’s Witness ever captured on film.

Our second week of International features keeps us in the English language but across the pond as we discuss Mike Leigh’s award-winning film from 1996: “Secrets and Lies”. Adam and Ian dive DEEP into this film discussing everything from what it means to devise scripts, if Brenda Blethyn’s performance is “too much”, and are all of these tangents necessary. The guys of 1001 by 1 go toe-to-toe on this film and ultimately come to a split decision (the first one since “Birdman”) – but who says “yay” and who says “nay”. Also, this week Adam recommends “The Mist” (available to rent on most major platforms) and Ian recommends “Vera Drake” (available on Starz).

This week begins a three episode journey into International Films. We start with Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray and his directorial debut “Pather Panchali”. Adam and Ian discuss the lengths Ray went to get this film off of the ground, how gorgeous this film would have been in color, and the way HBO Max is killing the streaming game. It’s a slow, slice-of-life film that has ties to the same issues we face today, but do the guys at 1001 by 1 think it should be in the book? You’ll have to tune in to find out. Also, this week Ian recommends “Dark Waters” (available on Showtime) and Adam recommends “House of Games” (available for free on Tubi).

Well, it’s a new dawn and this time they’ve brought a guest (Zita Short from The 300 Passions podcast) to journey with them into their next Hepburn film: this time it is the George Cukor directed “The Philadelphia Story”.

Sam Mendes is a tried and true director – starting in the theatre and working his way to the attention of Steven Spielberg. His films have been honored all across the world and he has been coveted with some of the industry’s highest honors (including the Academy Award). This summer when the newest edition of “1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die”, Sam Mendes will no longer be represented in the book…and we think that sucks. So tune in to hear Adam and Ian discuss every film he’s ever made: American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Jarhead, Revolutionary Road, Away We Go, Skyfall, Spectre, & 1917.

Last season we discussed the 1975 film “Nashville” and talked around the other nominees for Best Picture that year. On this episode, we delve into one of those nominees – Sidney Lumet’s “Dog Day Afternoon”.

We could not let Halloween season pass us by without chatting about a scary movie and wouldn’t you know it: we picked a divisive film amongst the 1001 by 1 team. This week we are discussing the surprise hit and (temporary?) cultural phenomenon: “The Blair Witch Project”. Adam and Ian are joined this week by lifelong horror fan Chas Messmer to discuss the themes of the film, the legacy (both good and bad), and first viewings of the film. The conversation also broadens into the top 10 most profitable indie films of all time and the idea of “toxic fandom”. Also, this week Chas recommends “Scare Me” (available on Shudder), Ian recommends “Willow Creek” (available on Prime or Kanopy), and Adam recommends “Under the Skin” (available on Kanopy).
Here it is folks…OUR 100th EPISODE!!! They said it couldn’t be done, they said “you’ll never make it”, but that all that did was motivate us more. Who is this “they” you speak of? It doesn’t matter – the point is we’re wrapping up Season 2 with a look back at what was a huge season for us. Listen in as we talk about some of the changes we made to the show this season (including, but not limited to HAVING WONDERFUL GUESTS ON THE SHOW!!!), what you can expect in Season 3, and of course…LISTS! The worst films we discussed & the best films we discussed are on the table, but who will pick which films? Do we discuss your favorites? You’ll have to tune in to find out.
As we began our “decade-by-decade” celebration of film, we started with an important film. Not only is that how we are ending this run of films, but we are also checking off the “Foreign Film” and “Documentary” boxes by watching Patricio Guzman’s 2010 film “Nostalgia for the Light”. This week, Adam and Ian do their best to explore what happened in Chile in 1973: the coup, Pinochet’s dictatorship, and the torture & killing of thousands of innocent people. They also discuss how Chile’s history works with the astronomical metaphors the film is presenting. Also, this week two documentaries are being recommended: Adam’s is “Boys State” (available on AppleTV+) and Ian’s is “Happy People: A Year in the Taiga” (available on Kanopy).
A film so epic that 2 hours and 2 hosts were not enough. We welcome Josh Nielson (certified Russell Crowe expert) to discuss the epic 2000 blockbuster “Gladiator”. During the episode, the gang explores the work of Ridley Scott (and ponder whether the four films he has in the book are the right ones), Russell Crowe (each participant shares their Mt. Rushmore of Crowe performances), and what films “make men cry”. To make the episode as epic as possible, “Gladiator” was playing on mute during the recording so we could bathe in its visual glory. We also discuss the year 2000 at the Academy Awards and why Roger Ebert’s review of this film is WAY off. Also, this week Josh recommends “The Nice Guys” (available on HBO), Ian recommends “Kingdom of Heaven – the director’s cut” and Adam recommends “Dead to Me” (available on Netflix).
We started 2020 with a Scorsese anniversary knowing full well that there would be one more before 2020 ended. As we proceed to 1990 we proceed to one of our favorite films here at 1001 by 1: “Goodfellas”. Adam and Ian try to limit how much they gush about this film, but cannot help but discuss the wonderful cast, glorious dialogue, and iconic tracking shots. Also, we learn that Adam drove hundreds of miles to complete his Nolan ranking and Ian gives some strong indications as to what next week’s film is. This week both gents recommend other Scorsese films: Adam recommends “Casino” (available on Fubo) and Ian recommends “George Harrison: Living in the Material World” (available on HBO).
A new decade, a new director, and a new guest! We have arrive at 1980 to discuss our first David Lynch film “The Elephant Man” with actor/filmmaker/David Lynch fanatic MJ Seiber. Join us as we breakdown all things David Lynch (yes…even “Dune”), MJ’s personal experience with the theatrical version of “The Elephant Man”, and just what Roger Ebert though of this film. Also, this week Ian recommends another David Lynch film – “Wild at Heart”, MJ recommends the Kurt Russell thriller “Breakdown” (currently available on Starz), and Adam recommends “Upgrade”.
We have made it to the back half of our decade-by-decade celebration of film and landed at 1970 to discuss the Jack Nicholson led “Five Easy Pieces”. During the episode, the guys at 1001 by 1 talk about the BBS, Jack Nicholson’s “Mt. Rushmore”, and just how gorgeous the Pacific Northwest is (but don’t move here, it’s not that nice…) Also, this week Ian recommends “The King of Marvin Gardens” and Adam recommends “The Straight Story” (available on Disney+).
This week we wrap up our Billy Wilder double-feature by jumping 10 years ahead to 1960 and his Best Picture winning film – “The Apartment”. During the episode, Adam and Ian discuss the AFI’s Top 20 Laughs of All Time (and whether or not those film are actually funny), what it means for actors to not deviate from the script at all, and just how good Jack Lemmon & Shirley MacLaine really are. In addition to all this, Ian expresses his thought on Wilder’s other feature “Stalag 17” and Adam finally watches Kubrick’s “The Killing”. Also, this week Adam recommends “The Exorcist III” (available on Prime) and Ian recommends “Women in Love”.
As we cross into 1950, the guys at 1001 by 1 are going to finally to chat about one of the most prolific directors of this era by discussing two of his film in consecutive episodes. That director is Billy Wilder and the first film we’ll be discussing is “Sunset Blvd.”. During the episode, Adam ranks all five films nominated for Best Picture in 1950, Ian doesn’t fall into his normal trap (we’ll explain), and both guys have quite the hot take on the “Die Hard” franchise. And be on the lookout for the first film to be made by 1001 by 1 – the unauthorized biopic on New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther (sure to be a doozy). Also, this week Ian recommends “Stan and Ollie”(currently on Starz) and Adam recommends the entire Linklater “Before” trilogy – Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, (both available on HBO) & Before Midnight (currently available on Starz).
Moving along here from 1930 to 1940 brings a huge change in storytelling: from a gritty World War I film to a children’s story about being your best. That’s right – it’s 1940 and we’re discussing the Disney, animated classic “Pinocchio”. Join Adam and Ian (who have no strings to hold them down) as they discuss whether or not “Sleeping Beauty” is a good movie, serenade you with a song from “South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut”, and ponder about the purpose of art. Also, this week Adam recommends “4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days” (currently on The Criterion Channel) and Ian recommends “A Scanner Darkly (currently free on VUDU).
Here we are in the second week of our decade-by-decade celebration of film talking about the seminal World War I film, “All Quiet on the Western Front”. Adam and Ian find themselves in opposing trenches this week as Adam lists the 5 things he didn’t like about this film and Ian returns fire as to why this film should be in the book. During this in-depth discussion, Ian runs us through the AFI’s best “epic” films of all time and Adam runs us through the early years of the Academy Awards (AQOTWF won best picture). Also, this week Ian recommends the new Tom Hanks film “Greyhound” (available on Apple+) and Adam recommends the Andy Samberg comedy “Palm Springs” (available on Hulu).
In anticipation for our 100th episode, we’re doing something special here at 1001 by 1. Each week, we will discuss a film celebrating an anniversary and then jump a decade later to discuss a different film celebrating an anniversary (1920, 1930, 1940, etc.). To start all the way back in 1920 to discuss a film celebrating its 100th anniversary, we were only given one option…but we are sure glad it was the only film to pick from: Oscar Micheaux’s “Within Our Gates”. During the episode, Adam & Ian discuss not knowing much (if anything) about Micheaux before watching the film, the unfortunately still relevant topics being examined in the film, and the “white savior” characters in films discussing race. Also, this week Adam recommends “Hamilton” (Available on Disney+) and Ian recommends “Da 5 Bloods” (Available on Netflix).
Jump in your car and head on down the road to check out not one…not two…but you guessed it: “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”. This week we are joined by Alicia Mendez to discuss one of the newest films in the book. During the episode the gang does a deep dive on Martin McDonagh (specifically one of his plays, “The Pillowman” – we’ll explain), reexamines the 2017 Academy Awards, and just gushes over the ENTIRE cast of the film. Also, this week Alicia recommends McDonagh’s first feature film “In Bruges” (currently on HBO), Ian recommends a film by Martin’s brother, John Michael McDonagh – “Calvary” (available to rent on most major platforms), and Adam recommends the 80s high school classic “Better Off Dead”.
It’s time to talk about the 60th anniversary of a thriller; a movie about a man with a disturbing secret he is trying to hide – and NO it’s not “Psycho”. This week we are discussing the Michael Powell film “Peeping Tom” with guest & film columnist Brian Keiper. During the episode our crew discusses the championing of this film by Martin Scorsese, the initial backlash this film received, and if Carl Boehm was the right choice for our lead. However, not everyone enjoyed this film -but who was it??? Also, this week Brian recommends “One Cut of the Dead” (available on Shudder), Adam recommends “The Staircase” (available on Netflix), and Ian recommends “Nightcrawler” (available to rent on most major platforms).
As you could tell by the length of this episode, we REALLY dive deep into the work of Christopher Nolan this week to bring you our definitive ranking of all 10 of his feature films that have been released (sorry “Tenet”). During the episode, Adam & Ian discuss the frequent collaborators of Nolan, play a few games at the halfway point, and both rank films in the lower half of their lists that infuriates the other one. Ultimately, both lists are combined into a single, definitive 1001 by 1 ranking of all of Christopher Nolan’s work. We hope you enjoy (and for your sake, please take a break during this episode).
This week on 1001 by 1, Adam & Ian welcome Ian’s wife, Liz Woodington, to the show to discuss Christopher Nolan’s 2nd Batman feature “The Dark Knight”. During the episode, the gang chats about the realism of Nolan’s trilogy as opposed to the MCU, whether Christian Bale was a better Batman or Bruce Wayne, where Heath Ledger was in his career and where he was going, and was Jack Nicholson’s original turn at the Joker a “good” performance? Also, this week Liz recommends “Flight” (available on TNT), Adam recommends “The Last of the Mohicans”, and Ian recommends “Watchmen” – the film (available on HBO Max).
Adam and Ian have been doing this show for almost two years and are just now FINALLY having their wives on the show. This week we start with Adam’s wife and co-host of the “Below Freezing” podcast, Melissa St. John, as they discuss the film of her choosing: the 1952 Gene Kelly classic “Singin’ in the Rain.” During the episode, Ian and Melissa hash out their “West Side Story” feud, Adam and Ian continue mining their hatred of “The Quiet Man”, and everyone marvels at how awesome Donald O’Connor is. Also, this week Melissa recommends “The Music Man” (available on DirecTV), Ian recommends “Across the Universe” (available on Hoopla), and Adam recommends “Chicago” (available on Showtime).
We waited 80 episodes before returning to the Russian, master filmmaker that is Andrei Tarkovsky and we weren’t let down. This week, the guys at 1001 by 1 do a deep dive into his second feature film – a film that is both massive & epic and yet somehow also introspective: “Andrei Rublev”. During the episode, Adam and Ian discuss the Criterion Collection restoration of the film, Tarkovsky’s vision of the film (even before they started shooting, and how Rublev functions as a character in the movie even when he is not the focus. Also, this week Adam recommends the ESPN documentary series “The Last Dance” and Ian recommends the HBO show “Barry”.
