The Twin Geeks 62: In Memory of Kirk Douglas - Paths Of Glory
February 14, 2020 13:00 - 55 minutes - 51 MBLast week, the last of Classic Hollywood's great leading men passed away. At 103, Kirk Douglas had a hell of a life, and one of the most impressive resumes of the era. We honor his memory this week by looking back to one of the defining performances of his career, and one of the finest War Films ever made. Roger Ebert once proclaimed that there has never been a War Film that didn't glorify violence and conflict in some manner, other than Paths of Glory. The story about a World War I French b...

The Twin Geeks 61: Parasite
February 07, 2020 19:35 - 1 hour - 72.2 MBWith the Oscars approaching this coming Sunday, and a slew of deserving films up for the big award, we found it only fitting to highlight not only one of the best of the bunch this week, but also the greatest stand-out from the pack in the form of the biggest non-English language film that has a real chance at taking the top prize. South Korean auteur Bong Joon-Ho gave what many consider his sprawling opus last year with a triumphant return to his home country after a couple of pictures made...

A leading member of the 70s New Hollywood movement, Scorsese’s films have paved the way and stood the test of time.

December 06, 2019 14:00 - 1 hour - 63.2 MBStill not satiated after the Thanksgiving holiday, we return with our eyes still fixated on food, movie food specifically. Actor/director Jon Favreau gave us one of the most heart-warming and plate-warming food movies in recent memory this decade. The story of a renowned chef leaving his stuffy restaurant job to find satisfaction in the independent circuit of the food truck market mirrored his own desire to return to less smaller, less studio intense work in the movie business after having g...
Ep. 53: The Shining (1980)
November 25, 2019 07:00 - 1 hour - 69.8 MBThere is perhaps no more an iconic film than that of Stanley Kubrick's zeitgeist-capturing adaptation of Stephen King's classic novel. King famously hates the liberties Kubrick took with his material, but no one has been able to deny the technical genius that motivates the film, or its legacy for that matter. The Shining is one of the most enduring films of all popular culture, both for its pervasive iconography and its timeless ability to scare and terrorize many generations of horror enthus...

The Twin Geeks 52: His Girl Friday
November 15, 2019 21:41 - 1 hour - 57.2 MBExpedient repartee is one of the major hallmarks of any screwball comedy classic, and director Howard Hawks was the undisputed king of prose. His work in the 1930s already consisted of major screwball classics Twentieth Century (1934), with John Barrymore and Carole Lombard, and Bringing Up Baby (1938), another collaboration with the ineffable Cary Grant. But His Girl Friday takes the cake not only for its record-setting dialogue speeds, but just for being one of the most uproariously hilari...
Ep. 51: McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971)
November 08, 2019 14:00 - 55 minutes - 51 MBWe return again to the Western genre, this time turning away from the more traditional and classic choices to the wildly revisionist world of Robert Altman. After the smash success of his 1970 anti-war film MASH, Altman sought to bring his unique perspective to many different genres, beginning with what he would dub his "anti-Western". McCabe & Mrs. Miller is a poetic but unflinching look at the muddier side of the frontier film, oftentimes very literally. The film is set in the backyard of o...

The Twin Geeks 50: Halloween
October 25, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 69.3 MBLast year, we kicked off The Twin Geeks with a review of last year's reboot of the Halloween franchise from David Gordon Green, also titled Halloween (2018). To celebrate our 50th installment, as well as giving the Halloween season a proper send-off, we're dedicating this last October podcast to the original slasher classic that has come to define the spooky season best, as well as the horror genre at large.

October 04, 2019 12:00 - 57 minutes - 52.4 MBIt's the spookiest time of the year, and to kick it off we're starting with a lighthearted classic. The endless debate of The Nightmare Before Christmas is whether it's more of a Christmas movie or one for Halloween. We're here to say, why can't it be both? Tim Burton's definitive work (despite not directing it himself) remains a mainstay of our cultural zeitgeist.

The Twin Geeks 45: Blue Velvet
September 20, 2019 18:02 - 59 minutes - 54.4 MBDavid Lynch's psycho-sexual thriller masterwork not only paved the way for much of his defining work to come but remains as frightening and potent as it was when it initially premiered. Blue Velvet is a beautiful and tragic story about so many things: corruption of youth, the decline of 1950s idealism, sexual discovery, the face of true evil, and The American Dream. Between all the nightmarish horror of Dennis Hopper's legendary villain, there are smatterings of nostalgia and melancholy spri...

September 06, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 61.1 MBThe opening to Delmer Daves' melancholic Western masterpiece begins with the haunting vocals of Frankie Laine's iconic theme to the film. There is indeed a legend and a rumor about 3:10 to Yuma, criminally under-seen and overlooked when tallying the genre's greatest entry's. The visual splendor of the film's black and white cinematography evokes its revisionist roots and cynical air, often feeling more like a noir film at times than a drought-baked cowboy flick. Glenn Ford reverses expectati...

August 09, 2019 13:00 - 58 minutes - 53.9 MBSidney Lumet, our most popular director on the podcast to date, is one of the great underrated directors of the 70s. Though his films lack a distinctive authorial voice like Martin Scorsese or Brian De Palma, he nonetheless endures as one of the decade's most prolific directors. Previously, we've discussed both 12 Angry Men (1957) and Network (1976), and today we look again to his brilliant filmography for another socially conscious and candid portrayal of a controversial subject matter.
