PODCAST

Cinema Spectator

ECFS Productions

An ECFS Productions Original Podcast: Cinema Spectator is a film history podcast that takes away the pretense that usually comes along with learning about film. Each week, we tackle a "classic" of film history but do these films actually hold up for a modern audience? Can they entertain someone who grew up on Spider-Man reboots and Jim Carrey movies, or will they forever be relics of a bygone era?

2025/04/23

Today it’s a Double Feature! Kicking off our discussion of the Mission: Impossible franchise, we’re discussing Mission: Impossible and Mission: Impossible II. It’s seriously impressive for a franchise to span nearly 30 years, multiple directors, and plenty of death defying stunts from lead actor Tom Cruise. We look back to the original Brian De Palma film to see the roots of the franchise, and we discuss the much more silly and ridiculous John Woo entry. Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast

The Straight Story (1999)

2025/04/15

We continue with the filmography of David Lynch by exploring a lesser known classic; The Straight Story is a movie that has none of the typical hallmarks of a Lynch film, but nonetheless has the essential DNA of what is at the center of many of his movies. The Straight Story is (as its name implies) a very straightforward story about an elderly man longing to see his brother before it’s too late. Starring Richard Farnsworth as the sweet and humble Alvin Straight on his journey to reconcile with his

Blue Velvet (1986)

2025/04/02

This week we continue our discussion of David Lynch by exploring the strange world of Blue Velvet (1986). The film contrasts the happy-go-lucky and relatively ordinary world of Lumbertown USA with the seedy underbelly brewing underneath its surface. Kyle MacLachlan plays Jeffrey Beaumont, a young man whose curiosity leads to disturbing revelations, only to be thrust right into the middle of the mystery he’s investigating.Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast founded by Isaac Ransom and Cameron

Isaac, Juzo, and Cameron return to discuss David Lynch's Dune (1984), an ambitious ane infamous adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi epic. Starring Kyle MacLachlan as Paul Atreides, the film blends interesting visuals with Lynch’s signature style, making it a perplexing and divisive entry in the Dune legacy. We compare Lynch’s take to Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part One (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024), exploring how each filmmaker approaches Herbert’s expansive universe. Don’t miss this continued

Kicking off our study of the films of David Lynch, The Elephant Man is a heartbreaking look into the mistreatment of those who look different than us. John Merrick (John Hurt), born with a number of physical deformities, has been mistreated and abused all through his life until he's taken in to be studied by Dr. Treves (Anthony Hopkins). Instead of finding a monster, Treves discovers the gentle heart of John and seeks to give him a better life.Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac

Nosferatu (2024)

Robert Eggers' newest film breathes new life into the classic tale of a secretive count who has been living in a dilapidated castle in the outskirts of Transylvania, and the disturbing affair that brings him to haunt the civilized world. Lily-Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult play newlyweds who are quickly driven apart by forces darker than they can imagine. Excellent performances from Depp, Hoult, and Willem Dafoe along with incredible cinematography and atmosphere makes this film frightfully

A Different Man (2024) stars Sebastian Stan as a man with ‎neurofibromatosis who wishes for a new life, only to find that he's the same bitter person after he gets it. Co-starring Renate Reinsve as the flirtatious neighbor he desires and Adam Pearson as the confident and charismatic person he envies (even though he too has neurofibromatosis), the film buzzes with dark irony and comedic charm.

My Darling Clementine (1946)

John Ford serves up a classic Western story telling the events of Tombstone Arizona and the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Unlike more modern depictions, My Darling Clementine is a much more soft-spoken and melancholy movie, less about the lawlessness and debauchery and more about the casualties of a modernizing West.
