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?

Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 20 Readin' N Watchin' #3: The Swimmer

Basil and Hayley drink too much then take a nosedive into the ennui-laden waters of '60s upper-middle class literature/cinema. We discuss John Cheever's short story, "The Swimmer" and compare it to the movie of the same name, directed by Frank Perry.
