Episode 56: Park Row (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The road to Gangs of New York may be a short one with just one companion movie, however, there was plenty to talk about with 1952's Park Row . Joining Sarah and MJ for this chat is returning guest and friend of the pod Matthew Germenis, and the gang get into the relevance of this movie to today (despite it's period setting), the joy of watching people being really competent and lots more! (Features some barking from our doggy companions, sorry about that!) You can read Matthew's substack here .
Episode 55: Bringing Out the Dead (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is Bringing Out the Dead Martin Scorsese's most underrated movie? It's certainly a tough movie, but there's a HUGE amount to dive into as well. TW: Given the subject matter of the movie, please note that this episode includes discussion of familial death, grief, and terminal illness.
Episode 54: The Flowers of St Francis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An Italian religious movie on a list curated by Martin Scorsese?! Well, consider us shocked. The Flowers of St. Francis may be an obvious choice on this list but how does it fit with Scorsese's Bringing Out the Dead ? That may still remain a mystery but Sarah and MJ dig into this 1950 movie regardless, talking about why it would work as a silent movie, and where it does (or doesn't) fit in with other Italian neorealist movies.
Episode 53: Ordet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kicking things off on the road to Bringing Out the Dead is 1955's Ordet . On paper, this is an extremely Sarah & MJ coded movie, full of religious themes, crisis of faith, and even some supernatural touches. We get into what does and doesn't work in this movie, the pitfalls of adapting stage plays for the big screen, and the strange acting style we've come across in the two Carl Theodor Dreyer-directed movies we've watched so far.
Episode 52: Kundun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, Sarah and MJ are joined by Kip Mooney to talk about an (intentionally) underseen Marty movie, Kundun. They discuss the myriad ways in which the film was buried by the studio, the fallout of the film being released at all, how unlike any other Marty movie it feels, and MJ gets Big Mad at a particularly well known mouse.
