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?

Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 12 Seen/Unseen #1: Brightburn

This week we bring you another new format, Seen/Unseen! For this two-person podcast one of the people on the show has seen the film to be discussed and the other hasn’t! In this case Patrick brings in new guest Alesha Mitchell to discuss the 2019 film Brightburn. Patrick has seen the film and all Alesha has seen is the trailer! What does she think about the movie? What’s her impression? What does Patrick think with the whole movie in perspective? Where do they converge and where do they differ?

Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 11 Readin' 'N' Watchin' #2: Children Of The Corn

Hayley and Basil return with another episode of Readin’ N Watchin’ to discuss one of the so-called Master Of Horror’s most famous short stories and the adaptation it inspired. This film series is easily the most prolific of all Stephen King adaptations, as there are currently nine films and a made-for-TV remake in the series. How did we feel about the first one? All that corn! All those outlanders!

Fancy Film Fellows Ep.10 Slumber Party Cinema #3: Flowers of Shanghai

Ilya is away to Munich, so this month’s Slumber Party Cinema is just Patrick, Basil, and Reuben. While Hou Hsiao-Hsien came up frequently on our previous podcast, Loose Canons, this is the first time we’ve done a full episode on one of his films. We talk about opium, meta-textual commentary on making movies, portrayals of women, the downsides of at-home film viewing, and whether or not sad Tony Leung Chiu-Wai is a good person.
