Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 26 Readin' N Watchin' #4: Smooth Talk

Basil and Hayley host Reuben for another episode of Readin' N' Watching, how do we feel about Joyce Carol Oates' twitter presence edition? We recorded this months ago, and I didn't edit it or re-listen to it in order to publish it, so this is the description you get. Enjoy!

Fancy Film Fellows Mini-Sode 5: Up and Down

Sorry for the hiatus fancy friends! Combined with Reuben being on vacation, we've had numerous audio failures which meant instead of being ahead on recording we were suddenly behind. But I think this episode was worth the wait because we bring you our first drunk criticism.

Patrick and Reuben woke up, watched most of 1993's Up and Down (dir. Luc Moullet), joined their coworkers for a pedal tour/pub crawl, came back and finished the movie, then continued to drink while podcasting about it. Please forgive the ice clinking sounds! It's a necessity for drunk podcasting!

Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 23 Revisitation Rights #1 Auteurs

August Auteur Month continues, this time with another new podcast format. This time, Revisitation Rights! We go back to movies we saw and didn't like when we were younger, but have a feeling we might like more now that we're older. Ilya picked Southland Tales (2007), directed by Richard Kelly. Patrick picked Le Samourai (1967), directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, and Reuben picked Beauty & The Beast (1946), directed by Jean Cocteau. Basil was going to pick Unforgiven (1992), directed by Clint Eastwood, but a terrible confluence of sleep deprivation and no half & half for his morning coffee made him miss the episode. How did the other three feel about these revisits? Listen in to find out!

Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 22 Is That All There Is... To My Childhood? #3: Auteurs

August is Auteur Month here at Fancy Film Fellows! Basil, Patrick, and Reuben discuss movies they loved as children but haven’t seen since they were children. The theme this time is auteurs! So we picked three movies by well-regarded directors that we considered childhood favorites and decided to revisit them with adult eyes. Reuben picked Manhattan, Basil picked Forrest Gump, and Patrick picked O Brother, Where Art Thou? Do these movies still hold up? Or were they better left to the vestiges of memory?
