Feelin' Film

This week we start our two-week long celebration of the Winter Olympics by chatting about I, Tonya, the new mockumentary style film from director Craig Gillespie. The film seeks to evoke a sense of empathy for Tonya Harding (we think) and establish some background about her upbringing and life both before and after the memorable attack on fellow skater Nancy Kerrigan that she is forever tied to. We talk through our feelings about the film's tone and whether or not its constant depiction of abuse was effective or just exploitative, as well as much more.  What We've Been Up To - 0:01:11 (Both - Favorite Winter Olympic Sports) (Aaron - Peter Rabbit) (Patrick - Under the Sun) (Both - Super Bowl LII Movie Trailers) I, Tonya Review - 0:37:56 The Connecting Point - 1:27:04 Contact Aaron Twitter Facebook  Patrick Twitter Facebook Feelin' Film Facebook Twitter Website Email feelinfilm@gmail.com Feelin' Film on Apple Podcasts Feelin' Film on Google Play Feelin' Film on Stitcher Fee

Our final week of Kubrick Month has arrived and we wrap things up by having a conversation about the movie that gave us the great director's take on the Vietnam War. Full Metal Jacket is extremely tense, often funny, and incredibly shot, but it is more than just a war movie. It's also a commentary about humanity and with that provides us plenty to talk through. It's been an awesome month of celebrating Stanley Kubrick and we're glad to go out with a bang.  What We've Been Up To - 0:01:26 (Aaron - Maze Runner: The Death Cure) (Patrick - Electric Dreams) Full Metal Jacket Review - 0:12:53 The Connecting Point - 2:00:37 Guest Appearances:  Aaron & Patrick on Popcorn Theology (La La Land) Contact Aaron Twitter Facebook  Patrick Twitter Facebook Feelin' Film Facebook Twitter Website Email feelinfilm@gmail.com Feelin' Film on Apple Podcasts Feelin' Film on Google Play Feelin' Film on Stitcher Feelin' Film on TuneIn Feelin' Film on Overcast Join the

Every once in a great while a film comes along with science fiction ideas that are fresh and reinvigorating to the genre. Director Neill Blomkamp's feature film, District 9, is just that, blending science fiction, satire, and social commentary with incredible visuals and technology to give us something wholly original. Join us for this discussion of the January Donor Pick episode, and one of our favorite sci-fi films of all-time. And remember #PrawnLivesMatter.

It's Week 3 of Kubrick Month and we turn our attention to the director's version of comedy. Dark, satirical comedy as it may be. Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb isn't just a movie with one of the longest titles in cinema history, but is a masterful look at how nuclear weapons have shaped the world, and the potential dangers that come with them. For the first time this month we aren't left scratching our heads and trying to figure out what the film means. Enjoy this conversation about another classic from Stanley Kubrick.

Welcome, listeners new and old, to the first episode of our new series "Connecting With Classics." In this initial episode, Aaron & Don discuss the #77 film on AFI's Top 100 10th Anniversary list, and one which is closely connected to current new release The Post. If All the President's Men isn't the best journalism film ever made, it's certainly in the conversation. Join the guys for some history, some lessons, and as always some emotional connection. One of the goals for "Connecting With Classics" is listener participation. We will be hosting prize drawings for podcast swag and more at the end of each calendar year. Entries into the drawing can be earned for every episode by watching the film and posting your own review or thoughts about the podcast episode in the comments section of the episode announcement post in our Feelin' Film Facebook Discussion Group. For listeners who do not wish to be a part of the discussion group, emailing reviews to feelinfilm@gmail.com w

This week we continue Kubrick Month by looking at the director's science fiction masterpiece. Is 2001: A Space Odyssey just an artistic marvel or is it also a genuinely entertaining story? We discuss the possibilities while talking plenty about HAL-9000 and Kubrick's deliberately ambiguous ending. Join us for this conversation and let us know what you think about the film, theories and all.

We’ve gotten together to talk about Steven Spielberg’s newest film, The Post, a dramatization of the Washington Post's publication of the Pentagon Papers in 1971, which exposed government secrets and lies about the Vietnam War. With a cast led by superstars Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, this story of unbiased journalism is extremely relevant and sure to land numerous Oscar nominations.

We wanted to open up 2018 with a bang, so we called in That Guy Named John from the About to Review podcast to have a lively discussion with us about Hugh Jackman's new circus musical. We all three enjoyed this show very much, but we do spend some time discussing criticism revolving around the real-life P.T. Barnum versus his portrayal in the film. The Greatest Showman is a film that brought us lots of smiles and joy, and we hope that listening to this conversation will do the same for you.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi has arrived, and it is proving to be extremely divisive, as critics laud Rian Johnson's film despite many fans coming away disappointed. We enjoy this opportunity to talk about trilogy world-building and whether we like the directions Star Wars is heading.

For this special minisode we are covering a film that blew us away on our first viewings, but we’ve patiently waited for it to be released on Blu-ray so that more would have the chance to see it before we had this discussion. Your Name, directed by Makoto Shinkai, is the story of a star-crossed boy and girl, perhaps destined to forever yearn for a meeting that will never come, connected across space and time by an unexplainable magic and framed against the backdrop of an but is also technically marvelous in both visuals and sound. We hope you enjoy this conversation on one of our anime favorites.

With the upcoming release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi right around the corner, we take a look back at the first film in this newest trilogy. Star Wars: The Force Awakens was met with great critical acclaim and yet a number of fans also loudly complained that it might just be too nostalgic. We discuss our first experience with the film and how it's aged for us, now two years later, and get ourselves (and hopefully you) ready for Episode VIII.

Pixar's newest film Coco puts the Mexican holiday of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in the spotlight and explores fascinating cultural traditions with its vibrant animation and music. We discuss how Coco makes us feel and also talk about Kedi, a wonderful documentary about the cats roaming the streets of Istanbul and the people who love them. This episode is a happy one, and we hope our conversation captures the joy that these two films brought us.

Dark-comedy, scathing political satire, drama about human nature, or all of the above? David O. Russell's Three Kings is a mixture of tones with a lot to say about the Persian Gulf War wrapped in an often funny, sometimes brutal adventure story.

Feelin' Film writer Jeremy Calcara joins us for a discussion about one of our favorite coming-of-age films. The Edge of Seventeen is unique in its rejection of typical genre tropes in order to tell a more realistic and innocent story.

In this minisode we discuss Agatha Christie’s often adapted book to film, Murder on the Orient Express, directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh, along with Johnny Depp, Daisy Ridley, Michelle Pfeiffer, Josh Gad, Penelope Cruz, Leslie Odom Jr., Willem Dafoe, and a handful of other people potentially accused of murder. This story is special for a reason and we enjoy talking about the ethics and morality at play, while also gushing over a beautiful visual aesthetic in the film.
