Scott Frank's adaptation of Elmore Leonard's classic crime novel, an arbitrary set of circumstances and not-so-arbitrary bad career moves on behalf of Soderbergh led to the creation of one of the great 90's films and one of the best adaptations of Leonard's work ever put on screen. One of our hosts is a big fan. The other...well...there's hope for him yet.

Alan J. Pakula's 1976 masterpiece 'All The President's Men' brilliantly tracks The Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on the hunt of the story of the Watergate break-in and it's serpentine connections to Nixon's White House.

"Hyper-specific, pointedly particular, rarified to the point of being incomprehensible"...these words from co-host Chris define our dear friend and two-time guest Paul Kaup's love of a very narrow band of films. For years, co-host Jason has tried to get Paul to explain exactly what they are and aren't. They're not movies you would go to the movies to see, they're not movies you'd even rent back in the Blockbuster days. They're movies that don't require much mental effort at the end of a long day.

This week on the Full Cast And Crew Podcast we cruise the rain-slicked early 90's NYC streets and track down Paul Schrader's (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, American Gigolo) 1992 film 'Light Sleeper'. Fittingly, we're releasing this one at 2:43am on a Thursday morning, with our ears still ringing from the sound system at Area and our noses numbed with bad decisions.

2019/07/25

The understated, minimalist 'Flash Gordon' showed admirable restraint in scenery, costuming, and acting. JUST KIDDING, it's a completely over-the-top circus spectacle of indulgence and various aspects of a film crew working on movies with vastly different tones except they're all working on the same movie. But FLASH means a lot to a lot of people, notably middle-aged white men who were 6 in 1980 and who embrace this movie tighter than they clutch their ticket to Autograph Alley at ComicCon to get

Featuring the innovative "Fosse Time" editing, more iconic imagery (or "pretty pictures" as Fosse would call snapshots of his choreography) than you can shake a bowler hat at, and and unforgettable, iconic performance from Roy Scheider in yet ANOTHER role he lucked into (See
