A show about movies and how they connect.
We love movies. We've been talking about them, one movie a week, since 2011. It's a lot of movies, that's true, but we're passionate about origins and performance, directors and actors, themes and genres, and so much more. So join the community and let's hear about your favorite movies, too.
When the movie ends, our conversation begins.

Dark Star
We continue our 1976 Hugo Awards Best Dramatic Presentation Nominees series with John Carpenter’s first film – and mostly a student film – it’s Dark Star. Is it better than a student film? Too much about hippies in space? Or does it work in some strange way?

A Boy and His Dog
We kick off our next series exploring the nominees for the Hugo Awards Best Dramatic Presentation award, starting with a bonkers post-apocalyptic film, L.Q. Jones’ A Boy and His Dog. Don Johnson and a telepathic dog? Jason Robards as leader of an underground society? We’re in!

The Train
We wrap up our conversations about the 1965 BAFTAs Best Film From Any Source Nominees with a discussion about John Frankenheimer’s brilliant film The Train. It’s got Burt Lancaster as a French train man helping keep the Nazis from stealing art from their museums near the end of WWII, and holds up exceptionally well. Tune in!
