Escape from New York
New month, new theme! All April long will be One Night Only - a celebration of films that (mostly) take place in just one night. First up is our latest look at a John Carpenter classic - Escape from New York! Ben and Anthony discuss the debut of Kurt Russell's most iconic character, Snake Plissken, the bizarre-yet-cool tone created by Carpenter (and cinematographer Dean Cundey), and the free production value of shooting this movie in St. Louis... which just kind of looked like that at the time.
Co-written, co-scored and directed by John Carpenter, and starring Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau, and Harry Dean Stanton. -
Poor Things
Oscar Month concludes with the Third Annual Laties Awards Best Picture winner - Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things! Ben, Bree, Sam, and Vaz discuss the stacked cast, bizarre tone, and Oscar-winning design of the instant classic.

Customer Reviews
What a great podcast
This podcast is great, I especially love the kid who laughs before, after, and during everything he says. I bet he’s really handsome too.
Like hanging out with Friends
The more I listen the more I enjoy this podcast. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and yet I am always learning something new about the movie, or the movie making process, and sometimes myself.
It is fun getting to hear different perspectives on movies that I have loved and hated. But also learning about movies I haven’t seen.
I think the part that makes it the most fun is the games and ratings at the end. I like that I don’t always know if the Host and his friends liked the film before they start discussing, it helps take my bias out of their opinions. I really love hearing at the end that someone loves/likes a film that they didn’t particularly talk about in a positive light. It shows how we can love the things we do and still see their flaws.
I would recommend, for the casual movie viewer and and the movie buff.
Fun, fresh takes!
As someone who’s frequently “late to the movies,” I love this concept! Ben & friends provide fun, personal, welcoming reviews to some solid classics. Excited to hear more!
