Driving Miss Daisy

Driving Miss Daisy

There's no point in pussy-footing around it. We think Driving Miss Daisy is cutesy crap. The Next 138 Project delves deep into this poor choice for the Academy's Best Picture of 1989 as we analyze the Jessica Tandy / Morgan Freeman relationship. She's a cast-iron jerk and he's a paper-thin Uncle Tom. The actors do the best they can with these clumsy characters, but this film that thinks it's being sensitive about race is actually quite racist. It was controversial that Bruce Beresford wasn't nominated for Best Director, but it's not like he should have been. We had fun rending this movie asunder, so we hope you have just as much fun hearing us rend. And what would go great with this podcast? A steaming cup of java from Sparkplug Coffee.

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...

The Last Laugh

The Last Laugh

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

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...
