P&F Podcast is ringing in the New Year on our 35th episode! JM and Lily review two of the top Oscar contending films for Best Picture “The Wrestler” and “Revolutionary Road.” Listen in as they discuss the pros and cons of Pro-wrestling, what it means to be unhappy in love and how two depressing films can be surprisingly uplifting. Plus, their Netflix reviews of “The West Wing” and “Towelhead.”
P&F Podcast returns after a long hiatus to bring you our 34th episode! JM and Lily review the highly-acclaimed Danny Boyle film “Slumdog Millionaire.” Listen in as they discuss the universal language of Mumbai film, the unique Boyle effect and then randomly delve into diatribes on “Twilight” and the “Planet of the Apes” series. Plus, their Netflix reviews of “The Happening,” “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “Once and Again: Season 2.”
We here at P&F are always trying to find new and exciting ways to both bore and titilate our podcast listeners, and with that we bring you our first ever P&F September issue wrap-up! Following in the footsteps of folks such as the great Joe Morgenstern of “The Wall Street Journal,” every month we will highlight a couple of the new issue’s articles. This month we bring you movie reviews of Tropic Thunder, Pineapple Express, Man on Wire and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, as well as our Spotlight on actor and activist, Tim Robbins. We hope you’ll enjoy our first attempt, and if you don’t, please let us know! lily@picturesandframesmagazine.com.
Episode 33 of P&F Podcast brings us our shortest podcast ever–especially fitting considering that Lily and Rick discuss the absolute horror of a train-wreck that is “Mamma Mia!” Listen in as they make fun of Pierce Brosnan’s singing, the drag queen-esque looks of the three female leads, and the absurdity of making a film around ABBA songs.
In episode 32 of P&F Podcast JM and Lily review Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight.” Listen in as they discuss the greatest on-screen villains of all-time, the pros and cons of having too many characters from the Batman universe show up in one film, and, of course, the brilliance of Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker. Plus, the pair delve into their latest Netflix rentals–”Why Did I Get Married,” “I Am Legend,” “10,000 B.C.” and “Stop/Loss.”
Episode 31 of P&F Podcast brings us one of the most depressing podcasts yet as JM and Lily review the highly-anticipated and mostly-disappointing “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” Listen in as they discuss their hatred for George Lucas–the man who has single-handedly ruined their former fond-childhood-memories–the absurdity of CGI groundhogs and the complete failure of the film’s ending. Plus, the pair delve into their latest Netflix rentals–”Let’s Go to Prison” and “After the Wedding.”
In episode 30, JM and Lily review the greatest comic book film adaptation to date: “Iron Man.” Listen in as they gush about the unparalleled brilliance of Robert Downey Jr., the surprising competence of Jon Favreau as big-budget action film director and the refreshing change of watching a superhero movie that features an actual cohesive script. Plus, the pair delve into their latest Netflix rentals–”Miss Potter” and “The Savages.”
In episode 29, JM and Lily review legendary director Wong Kar-Wai’s new film, “My Blueberry Nights.” Listen in as they discuss the acting debut of Norah Jones, the problems that arise when noted foreign directors come to America and the return of Jude Law’s charm (and career). Plus, the pair delve into their latest Netflix rentals–”Love in the Time of Cholera” and “The Orphanage.”
In episode 28, JM and Lily review the latest Apatow production, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” And they both actually really love it! Listen in as they discuss the endearing sincerity of Jason Segal, the Judd Apatow is John Hughes theory, the hotness of Paul Rudd and Mila Kunis and the zen-esque sound of one penis flapping. Plus, the pair delve into their latest Netflix rentals–”Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead” and “Freaks and Geeks.”
In episode 27, JM and Lily review Martin Scorsese’s new documentary, “Shine A Light.” As usual, Lily and JM disagree completely about the Rolling Stones concert film and all hell breaks loose. Listen in as they discuss the finer points of Scorsese as auteur, the relative crappiness of Keith Richards and the pros and cons of being 60+ year old rockers. Plus, the pair delve into their latest Netflix rentals–”Juno,” “Bob Roberts” and “Day Watch.”
