What else could Episode 237 be? The Immortals have always been in the Overlook. They go deep into the Stanley Kubrick beloved adaptation of the classic Stephen King novel. One of the hosts even say this may be their favorite film! And perhaps not the host you think....(You only have four guesses.)
Next episode was actually recorded recently!

In an episode that was clearly recorded last fall, Sarah, Austin and Pedro get into what the fans have been demanding. A long lost Brazilian short film! Turns out, it's actually really interesting but also quite distancing. The downloads for this episode are going to be insane.

Austin continues his editing backlog with the Immortals looking at the Civil War film, Glory. It is about a group of black soldiers so of course it stars Matthew Broderick. Also Pedro talks about the 2021 Music Box of Horrors.

Don't believe the title! The Immortals watch the upsetting Michael Haneke film Funny Games. (The original, not the American remake). They spoil the whole movie as they discuss whether Haneke's thesis still applies today and if the movie can work without it.

Pardon while we post this episode. The Immortals look at the 1974 Mel Brooks classic, Blazing Saddles. And two of them hadn't seen it before! And they didn't know it was co-written by a black writer until halfway through their first viewing!

In the circus we have Dumbo and in the political circus we have dummies. The Immortals watch the 1942 Disney classic as well as one of Austin's favorite movies, 2009's In the Loop. It's not just because The Doctor swears up a storm in it, but it helps.
Note -- Something went wrong with the Chicago audio and we apologize for the lesser quality. J.C., as always, sounds great.

The Immortals went back to the actual assignment and watched the acclaimed war epic by The Archers: The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp.

All of The Immortals were all in the same room at the same time! J.C. visited Chicago so we all of course....ignored our actual Immortals assignment and watched our favorite film of 2021.
