The Filmography ·

2024/10/11

S2E21 - First Reformed

The Filmography ·

2024/09/28

Reece and Bjorn discuss Paul Schrader's comeback picture, starring Ethan Hawke as the most Schrader-esque of protagonists, a priest suffering a crisis of faith. A 180-degree-turn from his last film, "First Reformed" is a provocative and deeply moving meditation on love, guilt, grief, and God (but way more entertaining than that suggests).

S2E20: Dog Eat Dog

The Filmography ·

2024/09/20

Reece and Bjorn take a deep dive into Paul Schrader’s wildest picture, his second collaboration with Nic Cage (doing his best Bogart) in the bonkers 2016 neo-noir, Dog Eat Dog, featuring a gleefully unhinged supporting turn from Willem Dafoe., and based on (most of) a novel by Edward (Mr.Blue) Bunker.

S2E16: The Walker

The Filmography ·

2024/08/23

S2E15: Dominion: Prequel To The Exorcist

The Filmography ·

2024/08/17

Reece and Bjorn discuss Paul Schrader's divisive 2005 prequel to William Friedkin's horror classic, starring Stellen Skarsgard in the role made famous by Max Von Sydow in the original. Considering Schrader was fired off the picture, replaced by Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2: Die Harder) and the film was mostly re-cast and reshot, it's a miracle that this version even exists!
