The Moving Pictures Podcast: Recent Episodes
Katie Holtzclaw
If you love movies like I do and want to start discussions about real life through this medium of art, this is the show for you. Each week, I will dive into a different movie and spend time analyzing every inch of this film from idea concept all the way to audience reception. Get ready to talk about how art intimates life… or how it doesn’t.
Welcome to the closing of season 2 of The Moving Pictures Podcast. I am so excited for you all to hear this extra long episode where I discuss a horror classic, The Shining, and its 40-year apart sequel, Doctor Sleep. I hope you get as much joy out of listening about these movies as I did researching and talking about them. And if you haven’t seen The Shining, what are you doing?! Here’s to Season 2 and many more to come!

Please welcome my guests, Nathan and Courtney Holtzclaw, to this impromptu mini interview episode! I had my brother and sister-in-law answer some questions and send me voice notes specifically for this episode which I’m calling a follow-up. As the resident Marvel fanatics in my circle of family and friends, I just couldn’t resist changing plans. Enjoy three Holtzclaw weirdos talking up a storm!

This week I felt like discussing a crime thriller/drama and I picked this (relatively) new one starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Listen to me drink some red wine and tell you all of my opinions as well as a nice little history lesson. Enjoy ;)
I haven’t talked about a horror movie in almost 10 episodes so I figured now was as good a time as any to bring some thrill into your lives with Ready or Not (2019). From the same directors who brought you Scream 5, Ready or Not dives into a scary social commentary while also bringing up all of your childhood fears of being chased. In my own words, “It’s really cool!” Enjoy :)
This week is part 2 of discussing Promising Young Woman and boy, is this a good discussion. My guest and I analyze the seriousness of this social commentary and relate it back to our own lives. Trigger Warning for SA, abuse, and r*pe. Listener discretion is advised. This episode is not suitable for children.
This week I decided to repurpose an episode I recorded last year and make it into two parts for easier listening. In this episode, it’ll be just me ;) but next week will be part 2 with a guest. Don’t worry, it’s just as good in 2022 as it was in 2021 and I promise, you’ll love every word. And if you haven’t seen this movie yet - run, don’t walk - and go watch it!
Welcome back to another history lesson episode full of random facts about romantic comedies.
