The Projectors

We wrap up our discussions on films of the Keystone state and we hit up plenty of Yinzer Country. So have a seat. Make a sandwich. Put French fries on it. Don’t cook any cheese. Behold the Groundhog weather god. Avoid Altoona at all costs. Who is the most satanic team in the NHL? What is the fine cultural line between Appalachia and Rust Belt? Just don’t let the Giwoggle get ya. Let’s learn about PA through the movies.

This week we hit up four films from the pride of the Watts neighborhood in Los Angeles, Charles Burnett. Our “Body & Soul” theme means “black directors and black leads” and Charles Burnett is gonna scratch that auteur itch we’ve been craving. We’re discussing all of his feature films except for 2. “To Sleep With Anger” we’re saving for when we get to California in our states series and we could not find “Namibia: the Struggle f...

For our second edition of TRILOGISTS we figure we might want to discuss an ACTUAL trilogy and we might already have a contender for “Best Trilogy” that we’ve reviewed so far. It’s Valentines time so we’re already in the feeling but this romantic tale has no holiday obligation. The dude doesn’t even have money in the first movie. HE’S A BUM AND SHE’S MADE OF FRENCH PORCELAIN. Richard Linklater’s 1995 romance “Before Sunrise” might b...

We didn’t want to go quite as long as our opening episode of “Ain’t That America” but we just can’t get enough of Delaware! We gotta get our mouths on some of that SCRAPPLE! For part 2 of our film study of Delaware, we go to the more inland parts of the state, tackle some very low budget fare, encounter an all powerful writer/god  and get a proper introduction to a cartoon cult phenomenon. No state was harder to mine than Delaware ...

RIGHT HERE is where we begin “AIN’T THAT AMERICA” our state by state movie breakdown that will encompass years. At least 10 movies per state, with two episodes of 5 movie discussions. (see our parameters for the theme below) We’re going in order of statehood and the first U.S. state is amongst the hardest states to pull movies from but we got deep cuts, cult classics, and notorious film fare here in our first batch and we got a thi...

This is the premier episode of our series TRILOGISTS in which we discuss trilogies both obvious and unexpected. For this discussion we break down the first three numerical Mission: Impossible films that were produced under Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner’s production company from 1996 to 2006. We also revisit and score many of the trilogies that we’ve already discussed.
