San Francisco Movies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On today's episode, Ella and Simon discuss one of the most well-documented movies in cinema history: San Francisco! Have either of the hosts been to San Francisco? Do they have informed opinions on the city? What makes a San Francisco movie? Can two Hitchcock movies enter the official Loose Canon? All of these questions and more will be answered as The Last Black Man in San Francisco (Ella's pick) and Vertigo (Simon's pick) go head to head.
Heat Wave Movies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the hot days of summer come to a close, Ella and Simon get together to talk about some of their favorite heat wave movies. It's two heavy hitters on today's episode, Dog Day Afternoon (Ella's pick) vs Do the Right Thing (Simon's pick), and Loose Canon is going hyperlocal to discuss these two Brooklyn-based films.
Greek Myth Adaptations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Podcast Event of the Summer is here!!! On today's episode of Loose Canon, Ella and Simon dive into The Odyssey, replete with as many tangents as Odysseus's journey. After a hefty discussion of The Odyssey, Ella and Simon consider two of their favorite Greek myth adaptations, O' Brother Where Art Thou? (Simon's pick) and Hercules (Ella's pick), before selecting one very special movie to be added to the official Loose Canon.
Dubious Stranger Movies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On today's episode, Ella and Simon tackle one of the most iconic genres of all time: "what if someone showed up somewhere and their intentions were a bit unclear" movies. In other words, Dubious Stranger Movies. The Night of the Hunter (Simon's pick) faces off against Birth (Ella's pick).
American Epics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's the 250th year anniversary of the United States of America and the 10th episode anniversary of Loose Canon, two equally important events. In a belated Fourth of July episode, Ella and Simon discuss a very broad category of films: American Epics. But what is an American Epic and is Born on the Fourth of July (Simon's pick) or Malcolm X (Ella's pick) a more fitting movie to take the mantle and represent the ethos of the United States in the Loose Canon?
