Requiem For A Dream

Darren Aronofsky's cautionary tale is over the top, loud, a bit dated and sometimes hysterical, but it's also heartbreaking. And it was influential, especially on commercials and movie trailers. Might it also be thought of as a horror film? We have thoughts. The Next 179 Project goes down all those avenues and also gets into the film's many technical merits, particularly the editing and the music. The actors (led by a tour-de-forcing Ellen Burstyn) have to play the ugly side of drug addiction, but they also get to play broken people yearning for a dream of a past they want to have back...or maybe never had in the first place. On that cheery note, engage our 'cast about the requieming and the dreaming.

For The Record: Jim in The Basketball Diaries is indeed a teenager. Also, it might not sound clear that at the 29:25 mark, Ryan says "she f's WITH him a few times."

Airport

Airport

The podcast rulebook says you have to cover a plane movie for episode #747, so I went with the daddy of the '70s disaster craze. The planes are 707s in Airport, but oh well. George Seaton writes & dir...

F.W. Murnau didn't live long enough to direct a huge slate of films, but the man bullhorning The Last Laugh also has Nosferatu, Faust and Sunrise on his resume. Like those, The Last Laugh is a silent ...

The Rock

It's as if 007 went to prison for decades, was let out by government guys played by John Spencer & William Forsythe and then he had to help a nerdy Nicolas Cage save hostages on a deserted island. Wel...

Moulin Rouge

Moulin Rouge

The first episode of a non-theme month here in June (and the 743rd overall) gets loud about Baz Luhrmann's bombastic Moulin Rouge. It's the kind of zany project where the director and star of this Par...
