John Carpenter: Someone’s Watching Me!

The Chicago White Sox are a garbage organization that does not deserve your, or importantly for the no one that reads these intros, my time.

Bong Joonho: Mother

Taiiku Movies ·

2023/08/28

This week in White Sox news was bad, and it may get worse from a front office perspective depending on which or if some of the rumors are true. They're creating new reasons to just kill any fan enthusiasm they gained in 2020 and 2021. This episode, Kory (@taiikumenco) leads Chris (@gokuffy) and Chris (@antoniuspius) through an underrated Bong Joonho movie in his 2009 film Mother.

John Carpenter: Halloween

Taiiku Movies ·

From Chris: I got my Ryan Gosling "You are Kenough" shirt in the mail and I love it. Wearing it out in the world, the women love it and dude's act weird around me. This movie is too powerful. This episode, Chris (@gokuffy) leads Chris (@antoniuspius) and Kory (@taiikumenco) on a special (read: coincidental) 13th episode special with John Carpenter's Halloween.

Bong Joonho: The Host

Taiiku Movies ·

2023/08/06

The Chicago White Sox have won the season series against the Cleveland Guardians, and I think that just means the Guardians do not deserve to be in the playoffs. Also something happened between Tim Anderson and José Ramírez. This episode, Kory (@taiikumenco) leads Chris (@gokuffy) and Chris (@antoniuspius) back to Korea and through Bong Joonho's filmography, this time with the famous kidnapping movie, again about government incompetence, The Host.

Jean-Pierre Melville: Léon Morin, prêtre

2023/08/06

With apologies for the not-Orioles content, I just watched the White Sox crank three homers against Noah Syndergaard and remember when he was good? This episode, Chris (@antoniuspious) takes Kory (@taiikumenco) and Chris (@gokuffy) back to France to journey through more Jean-Pierre Melville, this time starring Jean-Paul Belmondo in Léon Morin, prêtre (Léon Morin, Priest).

John Carpenter: Assault on Precinct 13

2023/07/25

From Chris: Started watching Miracle Workers and it's recommended for some peak Daniel Radcliffe. S3E4 is a must see for Radcliffe madness. This episode, Chris (@gokuffy) continues to lead Chris (@antoniuspius) and Kory (@taiikumenco) through John Carpenter's filmography with Assault on Precinct 13, which happened at Precinct 9, Division 13.

Jean-Pierre Melville: Deux hommes dans Manhattan

Taiiku Movies ·

2023/07/18

The Baltimore Orioles are an extremely fun team to watch, and they should trade the White Sox for Lucas Giolito and Dylan Cease and be even better imo. This episode, Chris (@antoniuspious) gathers Chris (@gokuffy) and Kory (@taiikumenco) yet again to talk about the beauty of French cinema, but this time in the U.S.! It is Jean-Pierre Melville's ode to New York and Manhattan, Deux hommes dans Manhattan (Two Men in Manhattan). Join the unofficial Taiiku Podcast discord, the OSMCast

Bong Joonho: Memories of Murder

The Major League Baseball draft is happening as I type this, and it is my only hope for a future White Sox team that will not suck, and that hope is small.

John Carpenter: Dark Star

Taiiku Movies ·

2023/06/29

I just watched the trailer for Retribution starring Liam Neeson, and I think I could watch him do absurd things in movies for hours on end. This episode, we're starting Chris's (@gokuffy) next director series, John Carpenter! Chris (@antoniuspius) and Kory (@taiikumenco) join Chris to talk about Carpenter's first film, Dark Star.

Jean-Pierre Melville: Bob le flambeur

I just watched Elly De La Cruz smash a 117 mph liner nearly through the outfield wall. It was awesome. This episode, we're continuing our Jean-Pierre Melville series with Bob le flambeur (Bob the Gambler), who is famously not a builder. Join the unofficial Taiiku Podcast discord, the OSMCast discord.

Bong Joonho: Barking Dogs Never Bite

Taiiku Movies ·

2023/06/11

I'm not sure about any of the sports teams I like. It's a weird life I live, sports wise. This episode, we're jumping into a new director in a new series as part of our new three episodes a month plan! I (Kory [@taiikumenco]) am hosting these ones as we (still Chris [@gokuffy] and Chris [@antoniuspius]) begin Bong Joonho's filmography, starting with his hit 2000 dark comedy, Barking Dogs Never Bite.

Jean-Pierre Melville: Quand tu liras cette lettre

Taiiku Movies ·

2023/05/02

The White Sox made 11 roster moves this morning, which is surely not a sign of desperation following an 8-21 March/April. The Orioles, meanwhile, are 19-9. And coincidentally, the White Sox' closest statistical comparison is the 2018 Orioles, who lost 115 games, which is a lot in a 162 game season. This episode, we're delving into more French movies with Quand tu liras cette lettre (When You Read This Letter). And maybe more coming up! Listen in and find out. Find us on Twitter or Letterboxd

Jean-Pierre Melville: Les Enfants terribles

Taiiku Movies ·

2023/04/13

Adley Rutschman hit a walk off home run in the bottom of the ninth (is it relatively a given that it would happen in regulation?) and I just think that's neat. The kid is going places. This episode, we continue the journey through French cinema and Jean-Pierre Melville with Les Enfants terribles (The Terrible Children). Here's the Criterion essay by Gary Indiana.

Jean-Pierre Melville: Vingt-quatre heures de la vie...

Taiiku Movies ·

2023/03/11

Chris has taken over the sports nonsense from me for this Melville series, so without further ado: Baseball has sped up spring training games to such a blazing fast speed with the pitch clock that it's given us even more time to pay attention to wild and crazy NBA & NHL trade deadlines. But the award for "What is even going on?", as always, goes to the NFL. Any team in the league can sign Lamar Jackson (for $250 million and 2 1st rd picks) but only Baltimore has even offered him a contract

Top Movies of 2022

2023/02/09

I don't like the Fangraphs projection for the White Sox, and I am scared for them. They need new ownership, a new front office, and to spend like they're in the third largest market in the U.S. Anyway. This episode, I guess technically our first episode, is our annual top movies podcast! Welcome to the Taiiku Movies podcast, which is the Taiiku Podcast's movie content moved to a separate feed. We're gonna be doing the same thing we've been doing, talking about movies. And we've expanded the list

Twin Peaks season one

Taiiku Movies ·

2021/07/14

Perhaps David Lynch's magnum opus. Were it not for the blatant racism in season two and The Return, almost certainly his best work. Certainly his most thought provoking. Where else to give a little sampler of the man himself than with season one of his television series, Twin Peaks. It's a medium he's clearly much more comfortable in, and he can make it just as indecipherable as his movies, so why not make 18 hours of content instead of 2.

Eraserhead

2021/03/17

We finished up our Akira Kurosawa series in November of 2020. After that, we took a short break over our usual December-February series of podcasts, then began anew with a different director. When we first set out on the journey through any single director, I (@taiikumenco) had picked Kurosawa since I had quite a few of his movies from the extensive Criterion library. In the end, we had to fill in a few gaps here and there with non-Criterion fare, but we made it through alright. Next, Chris

Seven Samurai

Taiiku Movies ·

2018/12/17

This was the first episode of our Akira Kurosawa series with Chris (@antoniuspius) on it, so I figured this would be a great second episode sampler for the Kurosawa films. It's also one of his, perhaps his greatest, samurai epic. So why not. Joining Chris, now as always, is Chris (@gokuffy) and me (@taiikumenco).
