Discussing '90s Jack Ryan

Sonic Cinema Podcast ·

2024/07/31

This is an episode that I wanted to do because it gives me a chance to discuss movies I've been a fan of since my early years of movie fandom. I have never read any of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels, but in particular, two film adaptations of his work- 1992's "Patriot Games" and 1994's "Clear and Present Danger"- were films I really loved watching. We don't strictly stick to those two films, however, with guest Kevin Thomas, but they make for a good starting point for discussing Jack Ryan's movie

Discussing The Archers

Sonic Cinema Podcast ·

2024/07/09

In the latest episode of the podcast, Brian works through a long-time filmmaker blind spot. For a long time, I had not watched the work of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger- aka The Archers- but this discussion is a good time to do that. Joining me in talking about these great British filmmakers is film critic, and return guest, Matthew St. Clair, as we discuss "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp", "Black Narcissus" and "The Red Shoes". I hope you enjoy!

"The Crow" at 30

Sonic Cinema Podcast ·

2024/05/13

In July 1994, my moviewatching trajectory was changed forever when I finally watched Alex Proyas's "The Crow". The film had already become a cult hit, and had been on my radar, but it wasn't until I saw it for myself that I just came out of the theatre different. As it turns 30, it is time to finally have a discussion of the film, and its legacy, on the Sonic Cinema Podcast. Joining me on the podcast is Chris Salazar, someone whom I've known on Film Twitter for a few years, and who loves the film as

As we hit 25 years after one of the greatest film years of my lifetime, I thought it would be a good idea to begin adding more films to this podcast series.

Joining me in the discussion is critic and podcaster Morgan Roberts, host of Female Gaze: The Film Club. I hope you enjoy!

Discussing Joseph Cotten

Sonic Cinema Podcast ·

2024/02/05

In the first episode of the podcast in 2024, I bring back Phil Fasso to discuss an actor he has always loved, Joseph Cotten. As we went through George Cukor's "Gaslight", Carol Reed's "The Third Man" and Alfred Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt", we get an idea of his full range as an actor, and wonder further why he feels so underrated. I hope you enjoy!

Sonic Cinema Podcast ·

2023/12/30

To wrap up the 2023 season of the podcast, I'm pleased to bring a different type of guest for a different type of discussion. The subjects are the 1975 and 2004 adaptations of Ira Levin's The Stepford Wives. The guest bringing the discussion to the podcast is Ella Dawson, a culture critic, blogger and author whom I wanted to have on to get her ideas on the ways movies bring relationship issues to the screen. The result is a fascinating look at perspective, adaptation and how society at the time

Discussing "Aquaman"

Sonic Cinema Podcast ·

2023/12/24

The last few months have been rough in terms of getting podcasts recorded- you'll notice that November had no episodes released. The truth is, with my new work schedule, as well as my review schedule, it's hard to watch stuff for the podcast as well. But I hope to get back in the habit for 2024.That said, for now, I've got a couple of great episodes to finish up on. We're starting with a long-in-gestation discussion about James Wan's 2018 superhero film, "Aquaman". I have some very particular

Discussing Vietnamese Horror

Sonic Cinema Podcast ·

2023/10/31

To close my October, I am so pleased to share this discussion. World cinema is important to look at as a way of exploring the breadth of cinema. Vietnamese cinema is something I have not really delved into...until now. My guest is Nguyen Le, a Vietnamese critic who can be found at various places, and hopes to bring more recognition to his home country's films. For this episode, we talk about the Vietnamese film industry before focusing in on three different entries in Vietnamese horror cinema,

Discussing Dracula

Sonic Cinema Podcast ·

2023/10/10

As we begin our month of horror at the podcast, frequent guest Phil Fasso and I decided to take a different perspective on the genre. Inspired by two big swings at bringing Dracula to the screen, our discussion today centers on the history of Bram Stoker's Prince of Darkness onscreen, and why the iconic ones stand out to us. The piece at the end of the episode is "The Dreadful Tick of Time," from my forthcoming album, "The Cold Wind of Horror," coming out at Bandcamp on Friday, October 13, 2023.

Early Oscar Buzz with Amanda Spears

Sonic Cinema Podcast ·

2023/09/19

With so many unknown films right now, what does it mean to have Oscar buzz? Do any films actually have Oscar buzz? In a bit of a change from what I was planning, and what we typically do when it comes to the Oscars, I bring back Amanda Spears to talk about Barbenheimer, filmmakers making movies for Oscar consideration, "Dune" delay theories and what could- or could not- get nominated. It's a wild discussion.**About halfway into the episode, my audio starts to get fuzzy. But everything is still

Dragon*Con 2023

Sonic Cinema Podcast ·

2023/09/06

It's after Labor Day, so you know what that means? Time for me to recount my annual trip to Dragon*Con, the genre convention that takes place in Atlanta. Because of the SAG-AFTRA strike, things were a bit different, but I loved the weekend down there all the same. I hope you enjoy!

Discussing "The Game"

Sonic Cinema Podcast ·

2023/08/28

I wouldn't say that I love David Fincher as a filmmaker, but the films of his I love, I really love. Of those films, few have my affection more than his 1997 thriller, "The Game". This is one of those movies I've wanted to discuss for a while- and I missed it for its 25th anniversary- but with Fincher having a new film coming out later this year, the time seemed right to finally talk about this film. (It also provides a good complimentary episode to my Frankenheimer episode earlier in the month.)
