For all you proper film enthusiasts who would like to peruse the films of TruStory FM’s entertainment podcasts by release decade. Get ready for a firehose of film history in these here stacks.
We kick off our 1993 Academy Awards Best Editing series for our member bonus episodes with a conversation about Paul Verhoeven’s sexy, sleazy, mysterious erotic thriller “Basic Instinct.” It may have some issues, but it holds up extremely well. Tune in!
We wrap up our series covering the 1998 NAACP Image Awards Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture Nominees with George Tillman Jr.’s Soul Food. Does he deliver the sentimental and heartwarming family drama he intended? And how hungry does it make us? Tune in!
We continue our 1997 NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress nominees series with a conversation about Theodore Witcher’s only film, Love Jones. Is it a first film with questionable casting decisions, unbelievable dialogue, and badly paced editing? Or is it a good example of what romantic comedy dramas are supposed to be with enjoyable characters and a great ending?
The members have spoken and decided that, instead of a good film with real possible options for an alternate 1998 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Lead Actress, we should talk about Mark A.Z. Dippé’s Spawn, based on Todd MacFarlane’s comics. Poor Theresa Randle. Still, it makes for a fun conversation!
We continue our series looking at the nominees at the 1998 NAACP Image Awards for Oustanding Lead Actress, this time delving into our first Quentin Tarantino film on the show, his fantastic Jackie Brown. Lots to love and lots to discuss!
We kick off our series looking at the 1998 NAACP Image Awards Outstanding Actress nominees, starting with the brilliant Eve’s Bayou, Kasi Lemmons’ first film. Haunting, beautiful film worthy of a discussion. Check it out and tune in!
We wrap up our look at the 1995 Golden Raspberry Award nominees for Worst Director with a conversation about Kevin Reynolds’ Waterworld, and you know what? It’s a fun movie! It has its problems, but may have gotten a bad wrap because of the production problems. We have a lot of fun talking about it. Tune in!
We jump whole hog into the world of Vegas strippers and exotic dancers with Paul Verhoeven’s 1995 big budget exploitation film Showgirls, next in our series on the nominees at the 1995 Golden Raspberry Awards for Worst Director. Do the reappraisals as a great satire make sense or was Verhoeven going for something he just never quite achieved? Tune in!
We continue our series looking at the 1996 Golden Raspberry Award nominations for Worst Director, today with an in-depth conversation about Roland Joffé’s misguided adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s classic ‘The Scarlet Letter.’
Our members voted and for January 2024, we’re talking about Batman Forever as a potential contender for the 1996 Golden Raspberry Awards nominations for worst director. But does Joel Schumacher warrant that or did he deliver exactly what everyone wanted? And how does this movie hold up today?
