NO ENTIENDO DE QUE ES ESTO''

1st! 🙃😉

adored RESERVOIR DOGS. I grew up on movies with strong language and situations, and always knew I was watching a movie and these are actors playing characters.

Been binging your content. Love it!

I saw this film when it first hit Cinemax back in 95 or so. As a 13 year old my friends and I got a super kick out of this film. Now as a 40 year old, it's pretty disturbing to watch.

You reference a lot of my favourite films, so I had to subscribe :) I absolutely love this movie.

For me this movie portrays a type of person you see in no other movie, or even in literature : the lonely man aka the Incel. Absolutely genius character writing. I put it with Welcome to the dollhouse in terms of character writing. It tells the truth about certain things you won't find anywhere else. It's very unique.

This movie is a masterpiece. I can't think of any other movie showing life like that. It embodies what I have seen in my teens for me, my family, my friends. Life is unfair and unforgiving. I have met a few Brendan. Dawn story is my sister's. Needless to say adulthood is a mess right now. The movie brings incredible catharsis and helps in so many ways.

It's amazing it's wonderful

A good complement film to Ladies and Gentleman, The Fabulous Stains would also be SLC Punk, if you want more destruction/ sell outs. If you want some sweet fluffy optimism and some 80s tunes check out Sing Street.

In 1980 I remember reading a Steve Jones/Paul Cook interview where they said they'd just come back from Canada shooting a film called 'All Washed Up'. As a huge fan at the time (& in the UK) I spent a fruitless 15 years trying to fnd it! I eventually got a 3rd generation VHS bootleg copy, & of course nearly lost my mind when the DVD came out a few years back. Awesome. (Btw, 'The Looters' tracks are now on CD & Vinyl).

Wow. No idea how I didnt discover you guys sooner. Im not a big fan of old movies but whenever I watch one from now on I will wait to hear your thoughts on it. Keep up the good work, cheers.

This movie shows the horrors of middle school torment.

Alsome

Im from watts south central l.a. im 45yrs old and i always revisit this movie along with karate kids revenge of the nerds and beat street

Been trying to find this for a while. I'm surprised the girl playing billyjean never did anything else. She seemed to have star quality but she seemed to just drop off the edge of the flat world.

This si 🖕

It's available for free on yt btw kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnXahn-Ka8dnlaM

<3 Taxi Driver probably my favorite movie of all time. You talkin to me? You talkin to me???

I just watched this movie again after reading Steve Jones' memoir and it captures such a great time and has great characters and songs. Wish it could finally find the audience it deserves.

I love that movie KIDS. I grew up with kids like that. In my neighborhood,other neighborhoods. That's what it was like,though. If you're in your mid-40's,you remember. I knew a lot of people like that when I was 18.

😊 maby got fan mail you watch out he will pop up in the second

God I watched this movie so much as a teenager this movie and Daria were what I called my "highschool survival guide" tho Ghost World doesn't have THAT much to do with High School

Alguien tiene el link donde se vea la película completa Kids dirigida por Larry Clarks...???

I was 11 in 1976. Movie did a good job

I think the reggae music fits perfectly in the film and is perfectly on the nose. Check out the band Bad Brains. Around the time of this film they were furiously mixing up punk with post punk thrash and reggae and they were absolutely amazing live! It's perfectly fitting in the film and totally representative of the times. Absolutely great film!

Fun synopsis of all the podcasts! Can't wait for the 2021 lineup!

Best movie of the 80s. I’ll die on this hill.

I might watch this podcast if they'd just film it with an iPhone. I can't ONLY listen. I can't!!

The opening music always puts me into the podcast mood

Love this video!

Thanks for the respectful, insightful review. I agree that Kinderman was not a huge character in the first movie, but I must add that it was through his interview with Chris about Burke Dennings' murder that Chris suddenly realizes that the killer could only have been her daughter. So Kinderman plays a pivotal role of plot-advancement in the Friedkin film. Then, of course, he had a very close but brief friendship with Fr. Damien Karras, which Exorcist III somewhat joltingly changes to the cop and Karras having been "best friends". I'm not sure why Blatty wrote the script that way, because the "best friends" theme is not at all present in his novel, Legion, on which Exorcist III is partly based. For me the "score" was a bit over-the-top in that the Friedkin film did not rely on electronically-enhanced animal growling and sound effects. Especially in the beginning of Exorcist III before anything really dire happens, when "Karras" is wandering in the wet night streets of Georgetown ("I have dreams of a rose, and of a flight down a long flight of steps"). For me the loud growling was intrusive and seemed to indicate some insecurity on Blatty's part that the opening credits scene was somehow not scary enough, and needed to be boosted by not-too-subtle audio enhancements. In my opinion, the tacked-on exorcism with its new character of Fr. Paul Morning, although way over-the-top, afforded three valuable things: 1) The return of Jason Miller as, alternately, Karras and the Gemini; 2) The resurgence in the exorcism of "Pazuzu" who previously had only been lurking in the background of the Gemini's crimes and in his brief descriptions of "the Master on the Other Side"; in the exorcism, the demon finally breaks through the Gemini and speaks its own mind, including the chilling line - directed to Morning - from the first novel that was left out of the Friedkin film: "This time, you're going to lose". 3) The poignant reversal of fate for Damien Karras, who according to the first novel and film, went on to his reward after sacrificing his life for Regan. In the revamped Exorcist III, the vengeful demon has caught Karras's escaping soul, stuffed it back into his broken body, along with the recently-executed soul of the Gemini- so that Karras would watch helplessly as the Gemini continues his killing spree "in this body - this body in particular ... the body of this saintly priest" - as indeed you mentioned. 4) The profound emotional effect of Karras himself being back as a character. In the Legion novel Karras AS Karras was absent, having already "gone to heaven" after his leap from Regan's window. But in Exorcist III, Karras, who had rescued Regan by sacrificing his life for her, has now himself become the victim in need of rescue - in the film, carried out by a joint effort of Kinderman and chaplain-exorcist Fr. Morning. This new, re-imagined scenario really "ups the ante" in a way that the Legion novel did not. 5) Finally, this is the first religious work by Blatty in which the formerly hidden God actually appears "on stage". A beam of divine light enters the cell, and stirs the injured Morning into action just long enough for him to exhort Karras to "Fight him, Damien! Fight him!" - which encouragement momentarily helps Karras break free of the demon's grip, frees Kinderman from his cruciform position on the cell wall, and permits him to carry out Damien's desperate, "Shoot, Bill! Kill me now!" Kinderman obliges, but only after the critically injured Karras tells the cop - and the audience, "We've won. Now set me free" - and a final bullet at last dispatches the reanimated body, sending Damien Karras on to the reward out of which the demon had cheated him for some fifteen years. At last, the formerly hidden deity actively intervenes in the world - a theme which, as far as I know, is a novel one in Blatty's corpus of theological writings wherein God may be "intuited" or sensed, but seldom acts directly in the world. Anyway, that's my rant. Thanks again for you clear-sighted review and respectful attitude toward this film - the only true sequel to The Exorcist! :)

Great analysis on the movie. It's an all time classic...

I adore you both --- each week these podcasts get better and better.

Best film podcast around. So many classics- so well researched and acknowledged. Also, great dynamic between this duo of podcasters!

I love DIVINE

Got to keep going 💪💯
