For all you proper film enthusiasts who would like to peruse the films of TruStory FM’s entertainment podcasts by release year. Get ready for a firehose of film history in these here stacks.
Costume designer Ann Maskrey—known for the Hobbit trilogy and The Magic Faraway Tree—talks Milena Canonero, Wes Anderson’s color world, and The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Lou Bloom doesn’t stumble into the stringer world—he’s always been exactly this person. Pete and Andy dig into Nightcrawler, Dan Gilroy’s darkly funny American classic.
We dig into Alex Garland’s tense, unsettling Ex Machina — a Thinking Machines entry about consciousness, creation, and who’s really running the test.
We close True Lies with Big Eyes: Burton’s restraint disappoints, Waltz’s choices divide us, Adams shines, and domestic coercion gets bland treatment.
We continue our John Carney’s Streetwise Musicals series with Carney’s first experience working with a bigger budget and Hollywood actors, specifically Kiera Knightley and Mark Ruffalo. Tune in to hear us chat about Begin Again!
We return for a one-film dip back into our Found Footage series with a horror offshoot of Mumblecore, aka Mumblegore, starring Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice. It’s the start of their Creep-iverse, Brice’s 2014 film “Creep.”
We sit down with hair and makeup designer Frances Hounsom to talk about her career, including her recent work on Peacock’s The Tattooist of Auschwitz, as well as one of her favorite films, Damien Chazelle’s 2014 film Whiplash.
We dig into the mysterious world of assassins, stunts, and neon as we start our John Wick series. Today, we’re talking about where it all started: Chad Stahelski’s (and David Leitch’s) 2014 film JOHN WICK. Is it more than just the fantastic stunt work? How does the emotional throughline work? What about the cast? And how great is the Continental as part of the amazing world-building? Tune in!
We wrap up our look at Gareth Evans’ series of Indonesian action films with a conversation about ‘The Raid 2: Berandal.’ It’s intense, it’s epic, it’s bloody, it’s operatic. We have a great time chatting about it.
We voyage from darkest Peru to London with one of our favorite bears, Paddington. In this episode, we kick off our exploration of the ‘Paddington’ films with Paul King’s 2014 ‘Paddington.’ It’s a sheer delight and yes, we brought our marmalade sandwiches.
