The Magic Lantern: Episode 111 – Evolution
August 26, 2019 15:05 - 52 minutes - 48.1 MBUpon my first viewing of it, Lucile Hadžihalilović’s Evolution (2015) leapt to the top of the list of my favorite movies of this decade, perhaps of any decade.

July 26, 2019 11:23 - 1 hour - 30.5 MBIn this episode, Jamie and Doug are giddy to see a very young River Phoenix act like a middle aged scientist and follow around an adorable baby Ethan Hawke.

GTGM Episode 108: Party Camp (1987)
July 12, 2019 14:35 - 1 hour - 28.2 MBWe’ve tried really hard to avoid discussing movies that would have been relegated to USA Up All Night’s lineup of sleazy trash, but we’re doing a camp movie every summer so it looks like we couldn’t make it past year five!

July 02, 2019 00:34 - 55 minutes - 51.1 MBThe Devil and Daniel Webster (Dieterle, 1941) is truly one of my desert island films. You couldn’t have assembled a more perfect film for me in a laboratory.
