On this very special tribute episode, Carsten & Stephen discuss the incredible contributions of beloved actor (and occasional director, musician and part-time Nova Scotian) Alan Arkin, from his earliest days onscreen in The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming, Wait Until Dark and Catch-22, his '70s heyday in Little Murders and Freebie & the Bean and late career hits like Grosse Pointe Blank, Little Miss Sunshine and Argo
In the latest episode of Lens Me Your Ears, Carsten & Stephen embark on one last adventure with Indiana Jones as the iconic archeologist so wonderfully portrayed by Harrison Ford undertakes the quest for the Dial of Destiny, an ancient doohickey that legend says can bend the laws of time itself! Then we turn back time to look at films that inspired Indiana Jones, directly or indirectly (the Tintin saga, and the "Tintin-inspired" romp That Man From Rio with the late, great Jean-Paul Belmondo), and took their inspiration from him, like the Romancing the Stone/Jewel of the Nile diptych with Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas & Danny Devito, and the recent Romancing the Stone homage, The Lost City with Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum and strategic guest star Brad Pitt.

On this episode, Stephen and Carsten take a look at the films of U.K.-born international film icon Charlotte Rampling, who's grown from Swinging London sensation to a Grand Dame of Cinema who always brings something deeply personal and psychologically stirring to the screen, whether it's a haunting portrait of a Holocaust survivor in Liliani Cavani'sThe Night Porter or a portrayal of a retired, housebound war correspondent seeking solace in a jug of martinis in her recent film Juniper.

On the latest edition of Lens Me Your Ears, as we look at recent remakes, or "reimaginings" with a cross-cultural context. There's a brand new film Living from the U.K. starring an Oscar-nominated Bill Nighy that just happens to be inspired by the Akira Kurosawa classic Ikiru, about a dying civil servant's desire to leave behind something of value, which also led us to the new German-language reexamination of All Quiet on the Western Front, the Erich Maria Remarque novel that was turned into a best picture-winning U.S.-made film in 1930. We also take a gander at A Man Called Otto with Tom Hanks, a U.S. version of the Swedish dark comedy A Man Called Ove, duelling vampires Let the Right One In/Let Me In and 2022's two wildly different (in approach and quality) adaptations of Pinocchio from Guillermo Del Toro and Robert Zemeckis, based on the Collodi children's story and a 1940 Walt Disney classic animated feature.

For the latest edition of Lens Me Your Ears, we have a look at master cinematographer Roger Deakins, famous for his work with the Coen Brothers, who we swear we will get to in a future episode. Right now, his latest collaboration with director Sam Mendes, Empire of Light is gracing cinema screens, and this week Carsten & Stephen take a look at his career going back to his feature debut with Justine: Or the Misfortunes of Virtue starring royal scandal participant Koo Stark, and through work with directors like Martin Scorsese (Kundun), John Sayles (Passion Fish) and the aforementioned Mendes (Revolutionary Road), plus the Kinks' Ray Davies' experimental longform music video Return to Waterloo.

This week Carsten & Stephen scroll through the new Sight & Sound list of the top 100 films of all time, which stirred up the cineaste stew by unseating champions like Vertigo and Citizen Kane with Chantal Akerman's study in domestic intensity, Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. This show takes a look at the two Akerman titles that appear on the list, including her documentary News From Home, plus titles that have as yet escaped their gaze like Claire Denis's Beau Travail; Roberto Rossellini's Journey to Italy; a landmark of African cinema, Touki Bouki; and a return to the realm of Iranian cinema with Abbas Kiarostami's Close-Up.

Carsten & Stephen back at the careers of two recently departed stars who hail from Ol' Blighty, screen/stage/TV legend Angela Lansbury and the great comedic character actor Robbie Coltrane. For the Murder She Wrote star, we go back to her debut in the classic thriller Gaslight in 1944, and look at films from throughout her career like The Picture of Dorian Gray, Bedknobs & Broomsticks and the underappreciated black comedy Something for Everyone, plus her final appearance, in the latest Knives Out mystery Glass Onion. For Robbie Coltrane, we check out a couple of his rare starring roles, in the Canadian-shot Yves Simoneau comedy Perfectly Normal (co-written by Paul "Whale Music" Quarrington) and the UK farce Nuns on the Run with Monty Python's Eric Idle, directed by My Cousin Vinny's Jonathan Lynn

This week, Carsten & Stephen take a look at the films of Carter Burwell, the New York-based film composer best known for his long-running collaboration with the Coen Brothers, but who has worked with many other filmmakers over the years, which is the work this episode will focus on. Don't worry, we'll be doing a Coen Brothers show one of these days, that's pretty much a given.

This week, Carsten & Stephen take a look at the long and rewarding career of the seemingly ageless Tilda Swinton, from her early days as a collaborator with avant grade enfant terrible Derek Jarman to work in major big budget films like her Oscar-winning turn in Michael Clayton with George Clooney, and this year's literary fantasy Three Thousand Years of Longing, directed by George "Mad Max" Miller.
Trivia note: Tilda Swinton's Oscar was presented to her by acting legend, part-time Nova Scotian and Village Sound visitor Alan Arkin!

This week, Carsten & Stephen take a look at some sweat-soaked movies set in desolate deserts, starting with the recent John Michael McDonagh (Calvary, The Guard) film The Forgiven with Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain as a jaded aristocratic couple whose lives are thrown into turmoil when a tragic accident on the way to a decadent desert mansion housewarming party becomes a catalyst for change in more ways than one, and the Iranian family odyssey Hit the Road, the directorial debut by Panah Panahi, son of firebrand filmmaker Jafar Panahi. Along the way we revisit The English Patient, Ice Cold in Alex, The Passenger and not one but two Flight of the Phoenixes. Phoenixi? Anyway, there's one with James Stewart and another one with Dennis Quaid.

This week, Carsten & Stephen take a look at Jordan Peele's new genre-busting spectacular NOPE, which has a whole lot to say about popular entertainment, showbiz exploitation and racism, and the hidden history of Hollywood that needs to be acknowledged, all within the framework of an alien attack movie. Through NOPE we open a window into the summer of 1972, and some of the films that were playing in local theatres 50 years ago, including Buck & the Preacher, Skyjacked, What's Up Doc, Fiddler on the Roof, Pocket Money and The Possession of Joel Delaney. It was a summer before blockbusters, when it seemed like there were no rules about what could make it to the silver screen.

Wow, the big 150! For LMYE 150, Carsten & Stephen delve into the world of intrigue behind the battlefields of the Second World War, starting with the new feature Operation Mincemeat, about a real operation meant to fool the Germans about British invasion plans, and the heavily fictionalized thriller Enigma, about the capture and decryption of the mysterious Enigma coding machine at Bletchley Park. Then we look at thrillers made during the war itself, Contraband and Went the Day Well? and ’70s dramas The Eagle Has Landed and Hanover Street, which stars Harrison Ford as a dashing, wisecracking pilot. I think he can pull that off.

On the latest episode of Lens Me Your Ears, as Carsten & Stephen take a look at the new Baz Luhrmann biopic of Elvis, from the King of Rock & Roll's early (and heavily mythologized) roots in the rural south to his early fame as a symbol of teen rebellion, a decade of Hollywood hackery and triumphant return to the concert stage before an untimely death at the age of 42. There's a lot of Elvis on film to take in, so the show also checks out John Carpenter's made-for-TV Elvis movie starring Kurt Russell, divergent takes on the Elvis mystique in David Lynch's Wild At Heart and Don Coscarelli's Bubba Ho-Tep, and two songs with Presley himself, King Creole and Viva Las Vegas.

On the latest edition of Lens Me Your Ears, we have a look at films set in Toronto, Canada's largest city and for some, The Centre of the Universe :). Ah, but we kid the T-Dot. With the new Disney/Pixar film Turning Red examining the life of a teenage girl and her Chinese-Canadian family, and an ancestral legacy that sees her turn into a giant red panda when she hits puberty, we thought we'd take a look at other films where "the city is a character" from 1979's The Silent Partner through Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, with films by Atom Egoyan, Sarah Polley and Bruce McDonald along the way.

On this week's show, we look at the career of successful Hollywood screenwriter David Koepp! Koepp came to prominence in the early 1990s with his work on Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park and Brian DePalma's Carlito's Way, and most recently has finally collaborated for the first time with longtime friend Steven Soderbergh on the techno thriller Kimi, starring Zoe Kravitz in a stand-out performance. Carsten & Stephen take a look at Koepp's career, from the impressive debut thriller screenplay debut Apartment Zero up through his directorial efforts like Stir of Echoes, Premium Rush and 2020's You Should Have Left. A skilled screenwriter with deft handling of character and story (most of the time, he also made Mortdecai with Johnny Depp), Koepp's name is usually a trustworthy mark for quality entertainment on the films he works on.

On the latest episode of LMYE, Carsten & Stephen take a look at the ouvre of cinematic enfant-terrible Paul Verhoeven, whose latest controversial release 'Benedetta' takes a look at the life of a nun who defied the power of the Catholic church in Renaissance Italy. From his earliest work as a Dutch filmmaker (Soldier of Orange, The 4th Man) to his Hollywood hits (Robocop, Total Recall) and yes, even Showgirls, Verhoeven has delighted in pushing viewers' buttons and the boundaries of taste.

On today's episode, Stephen & Carsten take a look back at the films of the late Sidney Poitier, who led the way in changing Hollywood's approach to Black representation in films, and portrayed a series of memorable characters defined by their strength, their integrity and their defiance through the 1950s and '60s and beyond. Carsten and Stephen look at some of Poitier's best-known films, and others worth rediscovering, from acknowledged classics like The Defiant Ones and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? to gripping thrillers like The Bedford Incident and The Wilby Conspiracy, as well as Poitier's turns in the director's chair in Buck & the Preacher and A Warm December.

Stepping out of his comedy comfort zone, Wright tells a gripping and lurid tale of a young fashion student's trip through time and into terror when she comes to London and becomes embroiled in the city's nightlife and a fantasy vision of the swinging '60s that goes horribly awry. The show looks at some of the many films that influenced the storytelling of Wright and writing partner Krysty Wilson-Cairns, from depictions of the time in Beat Girl and The Pleasure Girls to '60s psychological thrillers like Repulsion, Blood and Black Lace and The Collector.

There are spoilers galore in this examination of the film and discussion of where the 007 franchise could be headed with thoughts about who could step into the shoes of Craig (and Brosnan, and Dalton, and Moore, and Lazenby, and Connery) and who could put a fresh spin on the never-ending spy story from the director's chair.

On this week's episode, Carsten and Stephen take a look at some classic and lesser-known film about the twilight world of the inveterate gambler, spurred on by the recent addition of a collection of films on the subject on the Criterion Channel, but taking a few side bets along the way, from the Parisien class of Melville's Bob le Flambeur (and it's sun drenched Neil Jordan remake The Good Thief) to the urban anxiety of The Gambler (both versions) and Uncut Gems.

In this week's episode, Stephen and Carsten a look at indigenous filmmaking in Canada and beyond, starting with Mi'kmaw director Jeff Barnaby from just over the New Brunswick/Quebec border in Listuguj First Nation, with his recent apocalyptic zombie hit Blood Quantum and its kinda-prequel Rhymes for Young Ghouls, and moving to the Arctic, the U.S., Scandinavia, New Zealand and Australia. Each film tells a different story, but unsurprisingly the theme of the harm done by settler culture imposing its will on Indigenous communities is universal and a consistent thread through most of these films.
