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.
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.
The fourth of six in our Horror Debuts series. So many people love Jennifer Kent’s ‘The Babadook,’ but does it deliver? Or is it wearing its metaphor too firmly on its sleeve? We tackle Mister Babadook – including a discussion about his LGBTQ+ explosion in memes and interweb posts – in this episode.
The third of six in our Horror Debuts series. People call Ana Lily Amirpour’s film ‘A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night’ an Iranian Feminist Vampire Spaghetti Western Movie. But is it horror? We dig into this movie on the show this week!
The second of six in our Horror Debuts series. Aunt/Nephew writer/director pair Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala tackle twins, possible doppelgängers, and family grief in this slow build of a horror film. It’s incredibly well-crafted but how does the story work for us. Tune in to find out!
Does “Laggies” work as director Lynn Shelton’s chance to tell bigger budget comedy dramas? How charming are Keira Knightley and Sam Rockwell? And what’s up with the title “Laggies.” What does it mean anyway? Tune in to this week’s show to get answers to these questions and more!
Why do these unlikeable characters draw us in so strongly? Why did David Fincher and his editor change their entire post-production strategy? How strongly does Rosamund Pike work as the role of Amy? Tune in to this week’s show to get answers to these questions and more!
