Labyrinth of Cinema

We watched Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Listen as we detail exactly how goopy sci-fi should be, muse about the origins of the Koopa Clown Car, and attempt to detail the countless things we like inspired by this elemental eco fable.  On the pod: Colin https://letterboxd.com/MoxBagel/  Jai https://www.youtube.com/@LowercaseJai  https://www.patreon.com/lowercasejai/  Lou Email us at [email protected] with feedback or suggestions.

We discuss Takeshi Kitano's Kids Return. Listen as discuss men's suiting, decry the concept of lore, and get briefly into therapy territory talking about the versions of ourselves that persist in the past.  Colin https://letterboxd.com/MoxBagel/  Jai https://www.youtube.com/@LowercaseJai  https://www.patreon.com/lowercasejai/  Beefo https://bsky.app/profile/bigbeefs.bsky.social  https://ko-fi.com/biggestbeefo 

We discuss David Mamet's Heist. Listen as we laud elevated dialog, theorize on the delicacy of dumping your wife on Sam Rockwell, and wonder aloud if the heist movie is even possible to deconstruct. This one was recorded before Gene Hackman's passing, miss you dude.

We discuss Kōhei Oguri's The Buried Forest. Listen as we discuss a host of microcosms for storytelling itself, theorize on insect audio positions, and lightly tease our friend for not going full sickos on a movie.  On the pod: Colin https://letterboxd.com/MoxBagel/  Jai https://www.youtube.com/@LowercaseJai  https://www.patreon.com/lowercasejai/  Jane Synth Email us at [email protected] with feedback or suggestions.

We discuss Yuen Woo Ping's Iron Monkey. Listen as we theorize on the elasticity of the human body, wonder at the house cleaning possibilities of kung fu magic, and sit in awe of a slap so hard it can poison someone's whole blood.  On the pod: Colin https://letterboxd.com/MoxBagel/  Jai https://www.youtube.com/@LowercaseJai  https://www.patreon.com/lowercasejai/  Ryan https://vacantworld.substack.com/  Email us at [email protected] with feedback or suggestions.
