Sean Gunn on ‘California Split’ | Maximum Fun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Did you know that Sean Gunn is a cinephile? On this episode, he tells Jordan about relating to Elliott Gould’s character in the movie he calls his favorite: Robert Altman’s 1974 gambling buddy bromance, CALIFORNIA SPLIT. Sean’s new film is a prescient indie horror called APPOFENIACS, in select theaters this weekend! How does it all tie together? In the entertainment industry, every move is a gamble, and you’re better off if you’re in it for the love of the game. Then, as we near the end of our r
Episode 473: ‘The Musical’ with Jessica McKenna and Zach Reino | Maximum Fun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we’ve got expert musical improvisors Jessica McKenna and Zach Reino with us to discuss a movie about a middle school musical gone way off course, at the hands of a drama teacher pushed to the edge. Part comedy, part film noir, it’s the feature debut of director Giselle Bonilla, and it was a Sundance premiere. THE MUSICAL! Then we talk about other films that use film noir tropes to comedic ends, and pitch some actually-pretty-genius new movies in that genre too. Look out for Jess and Za
Episode #472: ‘Practical Magic 2’ with Angie Han | Maximum Fun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The stars of the original Practical Magic stars are back (at least, most of them) and just as cursed as ever. We have Hollywood Reporter TV Critic Angie Han with us to weigh in on whether this film left us feeling charmed, or like we’d been hit by a truck. Then, in honor of a family that has two sisters in every generation, we have a movie quiz about two-sister films! What’s Good? Alonso – Meg Stalter’s Emmys ensemble Drea – uno spaghetto Angie – TrüFrü Dark and White Chocolate Covered Freeze Dr
Liam O’Donnell on ‘The Terminator’ | Maximum Fun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Action director (and co-host of the podcast ACTION FOR EVERYONE) Liam O’Donnell is a great admirer of James Cameron’s directing and editing prowess. But long before Liam had even an inkling of his future as a filmmaker, he knew there was something about THE TERMINATOR that really spoke to him. He and Jordan get into all of that — plus the present and future of action cinema — in this episode. Then Jordan has one quick thing about Louise Weard’s CASTRATION MOVIE, coming soon to Alamo Drafthouses.
Episode #471: It’s Absurd, It’s Disturbing, It’s ‘Buddy’ | Maximum Fun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Casper Kelly might be most famous for his this-shouldn’t-be-so-creepy comedy short “Too Many Cooks.” Now he’s got his feature directorial debut on his hands (but don’t sleep on Yule Log 2, according to Alonso), and It’s Buddy, a comedy horror that owes a debt of gratitude to the insistent cheerfulness of Barney the Dinosaur. We’ll get into all that, and then talk about some of our favorite times TV crossed over onto the big screens. What’s Good: Alonso: kouign amann Drea: Minnesota State Fair Ke
