Screen Weens - 11 - Johnny Got His Gun / Visitor Q

Screen Weens - 10 - The Dark Crystal AOR / Sunset Boulevard / Dogtooth

We talk about puppets. Literally, as in the case with The Dark Crystal, and figurative puppets, as actors are nearly puppets being manipulated by Hollywood and children are nearly puppets being manipulated by their parents. Or some other pseudo-intellectual doodoo. Enjoy the podcast.

Screen Weens - 9 - The Housemaid / Hanagatami

With an extra focus on Asian cinema this week, London and Thomas take a look at the 1960 South Korean film The Housemaid, said to be a big inspiration for Bong Joon-ho's upcoming film Parasite, and then talk about Hanagatami, a film that took 40 years to eventually get greenlit and made, from the director of the 1977 absurdist horror CLASSIC House.

Screen Weens - 8 - The Goddess (Shen Nu) / Last of the Living

Our first podcast talking about a silent film. From 1930's China as well. A look into a branch of cinema not a lot of people are exposed to. Also our first podcast talking about a film from New Zealand. The bad news is is that the film is Last of the Living.

Screen Weens - 7 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) / Ghostmates

On this episode of Screen Weens we have our good friend Joe join us, and try to show him some iconic films of the past that he hasn't seen. This time we watched David Lynch's first feature film Eraserhead from 1977 and The Coen Brothers' 1998 cult classic The Big Lebowski.

Screen Weens - 4 - Shadow of a Doubt / Stoker

Screen Weens - 3 - The Creation of the Humanoids / Under the Silver Lake

On the THIRD EXHILARATING episode of Screen Weens London and Thomas talk about the relatively unknown sci-fi film The Creation of the Humanoids (1962), and then dive into a long and deep discussion on David Robert Mitchell's latest foray into directing: Under the Silver Lake (2018).
