Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 17 Pitch Sesh #1

This week we introduce another new format: Pitch Sesh! For this segment one of the hosts pitches a movie idea and the other hosts step into their Producer Shoes to help them finesse their dream project. For this episode Patrick pitches a movie chomping at the bit to get some Oscar love, a film about a small-town gun store owner who has to call his entire life into question after his son is killed in a school shooting. Bucky Barnett, who longtime listeners may remember from our Loose Canons days, returns to help Basil and Reuben decide on a star-studded cast and crew to propel this movie to thirsty Academy Award glory.

Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 16 Is That All There Is... To My Childhood? #2: Kids Sports Movies

Basil and Patrick are joined by returning-guest Kevin Dugan to talk about all those 90s sports hits. We saw these movies as kids and loved them, but how do they hold up now? Are they home runs? Are they touchdowns? Are they… whatever the word for doing really well in a bobsled run is? Or are they strike-outs, fumbles, failures to finish?

Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 15 Seen/Unseen #2 Aladdin (2019)

Patrick is joined by special guest Reo Townsend to discuss Guy Richie's 2019 remake of the Disney classic Aladdin. There's discussion of Will Smith's hair, various depictions of the Genie, and whether or not Disney will try to include every cultural holiday into their IP collection.

Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 14 Slumber Party Cinema #4: Muriel's Wedding

This week, Fancy Film Fellows does another Slumber Party Cinema episode where we take a chance on Muriel's Wedding. Patrick, Reuben, and Basil are the podcasting queens. Mamma mia! So much to talk about, from marriage to performative politics. Be a super trouper, and when we ask you to listen to us discuss this movie, say, "I do I do I do I do!" Waterloo?
