“It ain’t me babe, it ain’t me you’re looking for, babe.” In episode 19, Lily and Brooklyn Gang co-founder Rick Sayre review the highly anticipated, entirely unconventional Bob Dylan biopic, Todd Haynes’ “I’m Not There.” Listen in as they attempt to find some semblance of a storyline in the movie, try to remember film-related names and info without using imdb.com and contemplate the disappearance of Tim Robbins. Plus, the pair delve into their latest Netflix rentals–”Away from Her,” “The Secret Life of Words” and “In the Land of Women.”

Bring on the graphic violence and bad Prince Valiant hair! In episode 18, Lily and guest critic (and all-around-genius) Katie Gradowski discuss the Coen Bros. latest epic, “No Country For Old Men.” Listen in as the ladies delve into an analytical discussion of violence on film worthy of, at the very least, an NYU Cinema Studies class, and generally try to pin-point what makes this brilliant film and the Coen Bros., well, brilliant. Bonus: See if you can catch just how many incorrect statements fly out of Lily’s mouth in this episode (Hint: this is NOT Javier Bardem’s first English-language role). Email her with your detailed list at lily@picturesandframesmagazine.com and there just might be a prize in it for you.

Midway into the Fall movie season comes the first truly perfect film: Andrew Dominik’s “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.” In episode 17, Lily and JM wax poetic on the beauty and brilliance of the film, its strong supporting cast, and, after his stellar performance in “Gone Baby Gone,” Casey Affleck’s unstoppable acting prowess. Plus, JM discusses his latest Netflix rentals–”Fracture” and “The Lives of Others.”
