Christi Dodge and Mike Dodge discuss the 1985 film "A Chorus Line," directed by Richard Attenborough and starring Michael Douglas, Terence Mann, and Audrey Landers. They analyze the film's cinematography, character development, and the use of a silhouetted director to create a mysterious figure. They note the film's realistic style, the use of full-length mirrors on stage, and the challenges of highlighting dancers in a crowded scene. They also discuss the film's financial performance, which was lackluster despite a $25 million budget, and its mixed critical reception. The hosts reflect on the film's impact and its place in the history of movie musicals.

Today we are talking about separating the art from the artist. We set out to talk about some of the filmmaking techniques in the 1995 film, Usual Suspects. After doing some research on the film and reading about the allegations made against the director, Bryan Singer. We had a conversation that in light of the allegations made against Singer and Kevin Spacey, did we still want to talk about this film.
Mike made the suggestion to turn on the microphones and let you hear the type of discussions that we have when selecting the films to talk about on the podcast. These opinions are how our viewing choices are formed. We both believe in free speech and that all forms of art should be seen, it is up to each individual if they wish to view that art.

With gems like, “DRIVE THROUGH THE SMOKE COLE!”, and “I want you to hit the pace car”, Days of Thunder is filled with great scenes and lines.

Riley is about a young hot shot stock car driver gets his chance to compete at the top level.

Today we are talking about the 2011 film staring Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker, Cloudburst. The Thom Fitzgerald authored and directed film is about a lesbian couple who escape from their nursing home and head up to Canada to get married. Along the way, they pick up a young, male hitchhiker. It is reminiscent of the Netflix documentary “A Secret Love” (2020). The Fitzgerald film is among few who have received 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Take a watch and let us know what you think.
Molly: “Well, I know what lesbians look like. I mean, I'm not stupid. But you guys aren't exactly Ellen and Portia.”
Some highlights of this movie are:
- Excellent casting of Olympia and Brenda
- Not pleased with the artificial “golden hour”

Today we got a little punchy and maybe talked more about this weekend’s release of Top Gun: Maverick than we did Blue Crush. But alas, we did get around to chatting about the 2002 John Stockwell film. He is responsible for our Top Gun detour as he portrayed Cougar in the original. Blue Crush stars Kate Bosworth, Michelle Rodriguez, Matthew Davis, San Lake and Faizon Love. This film is about a surfer girl who had a bad surfing incident and is preparing for a big competition when she finds herself falling for a football player.
Drew: You really think you can surf it for real out there?
Anne Marie: Well, Drew, I dated you, I guess I can do anything.
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- The real injured surfer who the director kept in the film
- Michelle Rodriguez who did all her own jet ski stunts
- The over effected opening highlighting her surfing accident
- Anne Marie’s last name is “Chadwick” a nod to Elvis’ character in Blue Hawaii which kicked off our month of Hawaiian films

Today we are talking about the 1961 film starring Elvis Presley about a returning GI to Hawaii. He tries to avoid working for his family business by working as a tour guide. This dated film is entertaining at times but couldn’t be made today without cleaning up some racism and misogeny.

Today we are talking about the 1992 Robert Altman film starring half of Hollywood. It is about Tim Robbins as a Hollywood studio executive who is being sent death threats in the form of postcards by a writer whose script he rejected, he just doesn’t know which one? Griffin Mill: I was just thinking what an interesting concept it is to eliminate the writer from the artistic process. If we could just get rid of these actors and directors, maybe we've got something here.
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- The sheer number of celebrities in this film
- The ensemble cast that is included
- Great use of a window for a reflection shot

Today we are talking about one of my favorite films from film school. I was captivated by this film and the technique of it’s running time being almost in sync with the story’s timing. There are also a lot of stylistic aspects of this film that we see today. We are discussing the 1952 film, High Noon starring Gary Cooper, Grace Kelly and Lloyd Bridges. It is the story of a town Marshall who returns to town to protect the job he has done to clean up the town when it is threatened by a gang of outlaws who plan to rob the train at noon.
Will: Stay at the hotel until it's over.
Amy: No, I won't be here when it's over. You're asking me to wait an hour to find out if I'm going to be a wife or a widow. I say it's too long to wait! I won't do it!
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- Showing the clocks throughout the film to show build the tension and inform the audience
- Everyone trying to convince Will to leave
- The film being edited to be almost in real time.
- The connection between the the film and the Committee on UnAmerican Acts
- The sound design which added to the heightened tension.

The film we are discussing today is the first film I saw in film school. My first class was a genre class and we started with Westerns. I am a fan of Henry Fonda and was looking forward to watching some of his earlier work. The film takes place in 1882. Starring Henry Fonda as Wyatt Earp, Victor Mature as Doc Holiday, Catherine Downs as the titled Clementine Carter and Linda Darnell as Chihuahua. It is part Drama, part Romance and part Western. Please join us as we break down this film and some of it’s filmic techniques that make it a classic. Clementine Carter: “I should think that if nothing else, you'd at least be flattered to have a girl chase you.”
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- The Monument Valley scenery
- Using the diploma glass to reflect doc
- The amount of glassware that was sacrificed

Today we are sharing the 1993 film, DAVE about a man who looks like the president so he momentarily stands in for him while he recovers from a stroke. This star studded film illustrates the idealism of what we expect from our administration.

Today we are talking about last year’s Netflix doc about a special relationship between a National Geographic diver and a small octopus. What started as an experiment seeing what would happen if he visited the octopus everyday turned into a life lesson at the perfect time that he needed it.

- The cinematography under the ocean
- The sounds of the film expressing the calm and the fear
- His observation of the ocean and the octopus’ behavior

Today we are talking about the 2020 documentary about eight members of Seattle’s Soldiers of Destiny scooter club. These fellows road on their scooters from Florida to their home in Seattle. It is quite comical to watch their antics and their bikes breaking down and them bickering in the morning before the ride.
Ron: "My bike is a lot like me. It's big, it's dumb and it tries too hard to be cool."
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- The logistics of a ride like this

Today we are inspired by the 2005 documentary about a bunch of rag tag wheelchair rugby players. The players outfit their wheelchairs in a Mad Max style. The film exposes the audience to the players, how they sustained their injuries and how they cope with their body’s new limitations. Mark Zupan is featured throughout the film and one of the standout players. The film also follows ex USA player, Joe Soares, now Canadian coach as he interacts with players and his family.
Andy Cohn: “When people in the community see you in a chair they kinda treat you like you're made of glass or that you're fragile; things like that. But, in wheelchair rugby, it's kinda like high speed bumper cars.”
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- The distinction between the different abilities and how you can’t have more than 8 points on the court
- Zupan, the film’s star
- The national event held in Sweden and The Kiwis doing the haka
- The ex-USA player with a chip on his shoulder that is now the coach for Canada
- The various types of accidents/polio/birth defects
- Joe’s son taking about his dad’s trophies
- The crazy How To videos on how quadriplegics deal with sexual situations

Today we are talking about Admission, a film starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd about a Princeton admissions officer who takes a risk on a college-bound student who she believes might be her son. In the process she discovers a lot about herself. This romantic comedy came out in 2013 and is available right now on Apple TV. It doesn’t have high marks but we would definitely give it a solid B+
Jeremiah: "I read everything. I read biographies, mainly because I didn't know how other people live their lives. I think my variations reading came from a deep longing for something that was missing. I was searching for someone, for my story. To not feel so alone."
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- Beautiful golden hour shots on university campus’
- The mother/daughter relationship between Tina and Lily
- “Stop it with the dog stuff”
- The Bonzai tree bit

It is a film about Mitch Taylor who rooms with Chris Knight, school prodigy, and they work on a high powered laser. Only to discover that their professor is going to use it for evil instead of for good.
"Professor Hathaway: I want to see more of you around the lab.

- Mike’s connection to the story
- Chris Knight’s cool T-shirts

Today we are talking about not a Kevin Smith film but a film with Kevin Smith in it. The 2006 film written and directed by Susannah Grant is the tale of Gray played by Jennifer Garner whose husband dies just before the beginning of the film. She spends the rest of the film trying to figure out a hidden part of her would have been husband’s life. She also redefines what a family is and who she wants to be in it.
Life is messy...love is messier.
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
-The introduction of the film through the use of “show don’t tell”
-The constant gag throughout of Sam’s quotes from the tea box
-We saw glimpses of Silent Bob in this film as well.
-The massive head smack at 42:11 of Sam in the kitchen. After many rewindings we still can’t figure out how they did it.
Special thanks to our editor Geoff Vrijmoet for this episode and Melissa Villagrana for helping out with our social media posts.
And a special shout out to Geoff who looked up and Susannah Grant was born in New York and has not spent time in Boulder (according to her Wikipedia). Settle this for us won’t you Susannah and thanks Geoff.

Today we are talking about the 2004 film written and directed by Kevin Smith, Jersey Girl. This film put a bad taste in people’s mouth because the year previous the tabloids hit us over the head with the relationship between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez (remember Bennifer?) So when audiences heard that the two actors were playing husband and wife early in the film - they were over it!!. In this film Ben plays, Ollie, a widower must look after his newborn daughter while he rebuilds his career after he blew it up.
Maya: "Forget about what you thought you were and just accept who you are."
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- George Carlin’s acting in this film
- Raquel Castro looks like JLo’s actual daughter
- How Kevin puts his wife, daughter and other family members in his films
- The “What are your intentions” scene with both Gertie’s character and Ollie’s character
- How Kevin willed Ben to be Batman in more than one of his films.

Today we are talking about Kevin Smith’s 1997 film, Chasing Amy. This film takes place in the ViewAskewiverse as Kevin coined it. The film was the first film that Ben Affleck didn’t have to audition for, Kevin approached him and said that the part was his if he wanted it.
Holden: "If this is a crush, I don't think I could take it if the real thing ever happened."
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
-the shot where they play darts aiming towards the camera
-Kevin Smith tropes throughout the film
-Not for the faint of heart

Today we are talking about the second of Kevin Smith’s films. This 1995 film, Mallrats, shared the culture that was The Mall of the 1990s. The cast of this film is packed with 90s stars. This was the first of Kevin’s films under the Miramax umbrella. (Listen to the episode to hear how Kevin has made his comment on Weinstein’s abuse of women) This film kicks off our month of Kevin Smith films in celebration of his birthday this month on August 2nd.
Stan Lee: “You know, I think you ought to get him some help. He seems to be really hung up on super heroes' sex organs.” (Only Kevin Smith could get Stan to say this line. LOL)
The film’s tagline: They're not there to shop. - They're not there to work. - They're just there.
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
-The writing of the film is very Kevin Smith (Comic Book references, Jaws references, blue humor)
-Shooting a film in an elevator/This elevator is definitely bigger than the average elevator.
-The addition of Stan Lee in film
-The focus on the mall and the different parts of the mall and how it brings back so many memories

Today we are talking about The Greatest Showman, the 2017 film depicting the life of PT Barnum and his circus of misfits. This film spoke to all the oddities in all of us. The film staring Hugh Jackman in the title role was a labor of love for Hugh who pursued the making of this film for nine years. Very few films have I seen in the theater more than once and I saw this film 4 times in the theater - so to say it spoke to me is an understatement. I think that we all want to be seen and have a spotlight on us at some point. We hope that if you haven’t seen this film that after hearing us speak to the artistry of all involved you will be intrigued to watch it.
If not here are a couple of YouTube videos that highlight the talented artists involved in this film.
https://youtu.be/PluaPvhkIMU
https://youtu.be/XLFEvHWD_NE
Charity Barnum: You don't need everyone to love you, Phin. Just a few good people!
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
-The opening cinematography of the opening scene
-Jenny Lind’s character and the opera scene
-The two male gazes in the film
-The high saturation of the costuming
-The sound design and how it informs the characters

Happy Independence Day Everyone. Today we talk about the newly released musical on HBOMAX. Little known fact, or maybe not so little known - This film was supposed to be released summer 2020. But there was this little pandemic that shut down theaters and the decision was made to hold In The Heights and release Hamilton on Disney+. In The Heights was written and starred Lin Manuel Miranda on Broadway when he could get cast in another show. I saw a performance of this at The Portland Armory and couldn’t wait to see the film adaptation. If you like a musical especially the old fashioned Hollywood musical, you will enjoy this film with it’s energetic dance numbers.

This film exemplifies why we started this podcast!! I hope that most of you have seen this film yet I bet that is not the truth.

It’s about Eloise, having been relieved of maid of honor duties after being unceremoniously dumped by the best man via text, decides to attend the wedding anyway, only to find herself seated with five fellow unwanted guests at the dreaded Table 19. (Source: IMDB)
Eloise McGarry: “It's the same wedding; it's the same celebration no matter what table you're at.”
Some of the topics we cover are:
-This film is Mike’s Blue Jay (Listen to Episode 3 for more info)

Today we are talking about The French Connection which was released in 1971 (A great year!!), directed by William Friedkin and starring Gene Hackman and Roy Schneider. It is a film about a pair of NYC cops in the Narcotics Bureau stumble onto a drug smuggling job with a French connection. We discuss the laws that were broken and stretched during the making of this film. We discuss the racial implications and police brutality that occurred at the time of filming compared to our current climate.
References from the podcast:
Seatbelts: Most seat belt laws in the United States are left to the states and territories. However, the first seat belt law was a federal law, Title 49 of the United States Code, Chapter 301, Motor Safety Standard, which took effect on January 1, 1968, that required all vehicles (except buses) to be fitted with seat belts in all designated seating positions.[1] This law has since been modified to require three-point seat belts in outboard-seating positions, and finally three-point seat belts in all seating positions.[2] Initially, seat belt use was voluntary. New York was the first state to pass a law which required vehicle occupants to wear seat belts, a law that came into effect on December 1, 1984.

Fun drinking game - have a shot every time Mike tells a dad joke.
“And I find it humorous, how direct she's trying to be, and how much he's resisting. And then as the film goes on, we find out the limiting belief that's causing him to resist this that he is aware of what's going on, but he's stupidly pushing back.” - Mike Dodge

Our youngest son suggested this film when we said that we would be doing Irish films, he watched it in one of his film classes. In Once a busker (a gent who plays his guitar in a public place hoping for pedestrians to chuck coins or low bills into his guitar case) meets a girl and their romance develops. The film is set against the backdrop of working class people trying to find small moments of joy while working to keep a roof over their head.
“And in film school, I clearly remember a conversation that we had about the difference between a movie that has music in it and a musical. And the big difference is if the characters are citing dialogue in the song, and if the song informs the storyline, that's a musical.” - Christi Dodge

- Geurilla Filmmaking as showcased in the opening shot
- Diagetic vs. Non-Diagetic music
- The use of practical lighting creating a darker tone to the film
