Neon Genesis Evangelion - Episodes 25, 26 & The End of Evangelion (1997) w/ Caltex (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes when fans complain enough they will redo the ending of your hit TV show! Except Neon Genesis Evangelion is no Stranger Things. The ending of EVA was abstract and had to be rushed to keep up with a demanding schedule. After the controversial finale, Hideaki Anno and Gainax decided to reinterpret and remake the finale for the series with a two-part theatrical event. The first being a recap film of the series for newcomers and fans that needed a refresher. The second being a more literal
The Night of the Hunter (1955) w/ Audens (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Charles Laughton directed exactly one movie: The Night of the Hunter. Audiences and critics disliked it due to its shocking (for 1955) content. Laughton took the criticism to heart and never directed a movie again. People began to come around to the movie in the 70s as the New Hollywood era flourished. Audiences were not as shocked by the content shown and the films reputation has grown steadily since and it is now considered to be the defining film of Southern Gothic horror and one of the best
The Battle of Algiers (1966) w/ Jacob and Jen Big Nasty from Worker's Lit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's the movie that depicted a conflict that literally brought down the Fourth French Republic. French critics hated it and it took five years for France to release Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers to release theatrically. Internationally, it was incredibly well regarded. American audiences that were against the Vietnam War gravitated towards it. Due to its grounded depiction of urban resilience and guerilla warfare groups such as the PLO and the Black Panthers had screenings of this fil
Blade Runner (1982) w/ Kevin Tuck (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is one of the movies that made me decide to choose this format for the podcast. Polarizing when it came out, thanks to an inferior theatrical cut, it released in the same month as other sci-fi gems like Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, The Thing and E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial. As time went on and additional cuts of the film were released, people went back to the sci-fi noir Blade Runner with deeper appreciation. It is now considered one of the greatest films ever made and it has made a sig
Spider-Man 3 (2007) w/ Audens and egg_brained (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a new Spider-Man in the theatre so it's the perfect excuse to revisit the fantastic, yet maligned, third Sam Raimi film in his trilogy. This film ended a series but people came around to it a bit more a decade later when Tom Holland became the new Spider-Man and people realized this movie was funny on purpose and that the melodrama is something that is missing from the MCU. Spider-Man 3 is directed by Sam Raimi. It stars Tobey McGuire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church, To
