Talk Film Society Podcast

Double Edged Double Bill is celebrating its fourth anniversary and dead or alive you're listening to us! Adam and Thomas take this opportunity to devote an episode to films about superheroes that were originally created for film! First, Will Smith plays a drunken reprobate with a Superman power set in the messy Hancock! Then, Paul Verhoeven crafts a film that helped defined the good & bad of the 80s with RoboCop! Together, our heroes answer the big questions. Is Hancock the last true blockbuster for Will Smith? How can a film like RoboCop balance satiric wit and sleazy shenanigans? Which two films will they choose for next week's episode about A24? Well, turn on the radio in your new car that gets shitty gas mileage and listen to find out!

After a brief hiatus, Marcus and Marcelo return to talk about Richard Kelly and Southland Tales! They’re joined by special guest Richard Newby (@RICHARDLNEWBY) to discuss Chapter 8 of Southland Tales (timecode: 1:21:52 - 1:37:55). They also talk about Richard Kelly, The Rock, and so much more!

For the first time in over a decade, Sam Raimi is back behind the director's chair! Before we see him dive into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness though, it's time we returned to the director's earlier works for an episode of Double Edged Double Bill! First, Sam Raimi gives us his stab at a suspense drama with the low-key underrated gem A Simple Plan! Then, Sam Raimi closes out his superhero trilogy with the messy Spider-Man 3! Together, our duo answers the crucial questions. Does Spider-Man 3 get too much hate? How well does Billy Bob Thornton pull off sad sentient scarecrow energy? Which two films will they choose for next week's episode on superheroes created for cinema? Well, swing a web on over and hide your found fortune so you can listen in to find out!

Mockumentary is a diverse subgenre, but tends to be known as a vehicle for comedy. It can go so right or so wrong, making it perfect Double Edged Double Bill material! First, Taran Killam focuses his directorial debut on an Arnold Schwarzenegger cameo to little fanfare with Killing Gunther! Then, Andy Samberg and his Lonely Island crew create the ultimate modern pop musician satire with Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping! Together, our duo answers the crucial questions. How elaborate is every edit for this podcast? Are theatrical studio comedies dead? Which two films will they choose for next week's episode on Sam Raimi?

Your host Manish (@vertigay314) welcomes guest Conrado Falco (@CocoHitsNY) to this show dedicated to rom-coms to discuss High Fidelity. The 2000 Stephen Frears film stars John Cusack, Jack Black, and Lisa Bonet. How well does it hold up more than 20 years later, and how much does it have to say about modern romance? Put on your giant headphones and listen to find out.

Bruce Willis is one of our great movie stars. Given his recently announced retirement, Adam and Thomas felt it was finally time for Willis' long overdue Double Edged Double Bill treatment! First, Bruce Willis travels to the past in order to piece together his dystopian future in 12 Monkeys! Then, Bruce Willis is a cartoonish gentleman thief in the infamous Hudson Hawk! Together, our duo answers all the crucial questions. Who is our ideal sponsor? Are movie star passion projects ever that successful? Which two films will they choose for next week's mockumentary episode? Well, hop in your time machine and swing on a star so you can listen to find out!

Steven Seagal gets sole writing credit and tracks down a serial killer in Kill Switch! It may be the most unpleasant movie James and Dylan have had to watch. But can a shocking twist ending reverse everything they thought they knew? Maybe there’s a game at the end. We don’t know! We recorded this a long time ago, and if you think we’re listening to these episodes to help write the descriptions you clearly haven’t heard our show before.

Time to find out the secret origins of two idiots recording a podcast together! This week, Adam and Thomas are avoiding the new Fantastic Beasts by talking about other prequel films! First, the origins of a Brian De Palma classic gangster film we never asked for are revealed in the prequel Carlito's Way: Rise to Power! Then, David Lynch brings us to a time before damn fine coffee with Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me! Together, our heroes answer the crucial questions. How do five years of prison time transform Jay Hernandez into Al Pacino? What is the hidden meaning behind The Black Lodge? Which films will they choose for next week's episode all about Bruce Willis? Well, wear your finest 70s era attire and keep your emerald ring handy as you listen to find out!

On this special episode, guest James (@JamesBarretts) talks about Solo: A Star Wars Story with host Callie (@calliesmith92). They also talk about all the Star Wars James hasn’t seen, the Galaxy’s Edge marketing gimmicks, and how Solo: A Star Wars Story is actually a good movie! May the Force be with you!

Wow! After a long, dark slumber the Most Popular Show on the Talk Film Society Network in History has returned! James and Dylan find themselves struggling with the very fabric of the show when they’re forced to watch The Onion Movie. The boys have no choice but to take solace in a familiar face and Wex Poetic.

Eli Smith (@heymisterwallet) returns as a guest to talk the season one finale of The Mandalorian with host Callie (@calliesmith92)! The talk Jason Sudeikis punching Baby Yoda, the Darksaber, and Boba Fett ruling Tatooine with respect instead of fear.

Michael Mann is returning to the director's chair for the pilot episode of HBO Max's Tokyo Vice. So, it only seemed right to do a Double Edged Double Bill episode all about this legendary director with two films that leave our cohosts divided! First, The Last of the Mohicans shows a very different side of Michael Mann as Daniel Day Lewis fights in the French Indian War. Then, Chris Hemsworth clacks on a keyboard intensely in Michael Mann's hacker thriller that bombed so hard it put him in director jail Blackhat! Together, our duo answers all the crucial questions. What if Daniel Day Lewis was a traditional 90s action lead? Why do we have very few new movie stars? Which two films will they choose for next week's episode? Well, type out your code so you will find the answers and listen to this week's episode!

Back in February 2020, Marking the Marcs hosts Marcelo and Marcus started recording a new limited series on the Stone Cold Steve Austin-Vince McMahon rivalry of the late ‘90s and early 2000s. They only recorded the first two episodes and published them on the Talk Film Society Patreon in March 2020. Now, listen to those two episodes here in one episode with over two hours of wrestling talk. There will be no further episodes. Enjoy.

The Spooky Boys, Matt (@TheRealMattC) and Jacob (@Jacob_DeNobel), have a question to ask: What's your favorite scary movie? If the answer is a Scream movie, you’re in luck! They’re joined by Scream Expert Carlo DiMicco (@micco3006) to discuss everything from Scream to Scream! From Wes Craven’s Scream Quadrilogy to the new re-quel by Radio Silence; yes, it’s a scream, baby!

Penélope Cruz is one of our great actresses. Capable of phenomenal work that transcends language. Shame that most English language productions fail to give her solid material to work with. So, given her recent Academy Award nomination for Parallel Mothers, Adam and Thomas felt like it was time for her to receive the Double Re-Deux treatment! First, Penélope Cruz and her frequent collaborator Pedro Almodóvar weave a tale of grief and ghost farts with Volver. Then, Ridley Scott squeezes Penélope Cruz into a packed ensemble film about the nihilistic nature of drug cartels in The Counselor. Together, our duo answers the crucial questions. Why do American films often fail Penélope Cruz? What does it look like when an inhuman entity makes a crime drama? Which films will they choose for next week's episode about Michael Mann? Well, avoid that wire trap and move that corpse filled freezer to the back so you can listen to find out! Hear Thomas on this week’s Have Not Seen This Podcast breaking down this year’s Academ
