Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 53 Is That All There Is... To My Childhood #8: Prestige Filmmaking

The Core Four return, although a few small pieces were lost due to technical difficulties and Ilya once again had to leave early due to time difficulties. We discuss four Important Hollywood Films we loved as children to revisit them as adults! Rain Man (1998) directed by Barry Levinson, The Remains Of The Day (1993) directed by James Ivory, The Shawshank Redemption (1994) directed by Frank Darabont, and Gladiator (2000) directed by Ridley Scott. How do these Classics hold up??

Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 52 Readin' N Watchin' #10: A.I.: Artificial Intelligence

Hayley and Basil go long in this episode where we compare the very short story (9 pages?) “Supertoys Last All Summer Long” by Brian Aldiss to the quite long movie (over 2.5 hours??), “A.I.: Artificial Intelligence” directed by Steven Spielberg. We decided to make a podcast to match.

Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 51 Is That All There Is... To My Childhood #7: Live-Action/Animation

Basil and Ilya are joined by returning guest Kevin to discuss three childhood favorites that mix animation with live-action: 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit? directed by Robert Zemeckis, 1994's The Pagemaster directed by Joe Johnston and Pixote Hunt, and 1996's Space Jam directed by Joe Pytka. How well do they hold up? Listen in to find out!

Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 50 Readin' N Watchin' #9: L'Argent

 

Hayley and Basil are joined by returning guest and Tolstoy super fan Prabu to discuss Leo Tolstoy’s 1910 short story, “The Forged Coupon” and compare it to the movie adaptation from 1983, “L’Argent” directed by Robert Bresson. Capitalism! Religion! Czarist Russia! 1980s France! What do they have in common?!

Fancy Film Fellows Ep. 47 Readin' N Gamin' N Watchin' #1: The Witcher

Ilya and Basil take a break to discuss a bunch of media that is not movies. A deep dive on The Witcher TV series, book series, and video game series. Not a movie in sight!
