    Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004), The Devil Rides Out (1968), and The Gorgon (1964) (feat. Ali Khamseh)

    Episode recorded: August 10th, 2025 Jay and his co-editor Jessie Hymowitz invited Ali Khamseh, a Hammer Horror movie fan from Iran, and talked about three movies of his choice: the underappreciated Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004), and two Hammer Horror movies with the great Christopher Lee (The Devil Rides Out and The Gorgon). We talked about the unexpected genre materials from Iran, how Kerry Conran's tragic flop predicted both the blockbuster & low-budget filmmaking trends of the 2020s, the historical context of the old Hammer Horror movies, and the magic of stop-motion animation. Movies that we will be (mostly) discussing: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004), directed by Kerry Conran Sin City (2005), directed by Robert Rodriguez & Frank Miller Hundreds of Beavers (2022), directed by Mike Cheslik The Lion King (2019), directed by Jon Favreau The Devil Rides Out (1968), directed by Terence Fisher The Gorgon (1964), directed by Terence Fisher ParaNorman (2012), directed by Sam Fell & Chris Butler Kubo and the Two Strings (2016), directed by Travis Knight Stopmotion (2023), directed by Robert Morgan Please follow Ali here (note: 88 in Ali's usernames meant the Persian calendar year of 1388 when he made his first email account): His YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJOSmbfG5-nW79Q7I3OyyTw His 2nd YouTube channel (AK88): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP37QXeEcOQ5vJpQKgnph1w His Letterboxd account: https://letterboxd.com/AKhamseh88/ His Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/akhamseh88/ His own podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/akhamseh88/ Audio Editor: Jay Whang & Jessie Hymowitz Into and Outro music: Scorpions sting by Celeste3 https://celest3.bandcamp.com/track/scorpions-sting And please help her out: https://ko-fi.com/pupceleste If you have questions, suggestions, or interested to be on the show, let Jay know: jay@box.jaywhangmakes.com

    Thoroughbreds (2017) + Perfect Blue (1997) = Getting Rid of Your Step-Dad in a Satoshi Kon Way

    Episode recorded: July 19th, 2025 (07/19/2025) Meredith Nudo is back along with another rotating co-host Alex Beige. We are going to discuss Cory Finley's directorial feature debut Thoroughbreds (2017) and how it is compatible with the overall style of, as Meredith argues, Satoshi Kon's psychological thriller classic Perfect Blue (1997). We're also discussing the challenges of adapting plays into feature films (with Alex Beige, the actual playwright, giving their two cents onto this subject), the filmography of Brian De Palma, the use of ambiguities in movies, and Jay's own ideas of animated adaptation of theatrical plays. And we still miss the late Anton Yelchin. And also, check out the play Let. Her. Rip.. Movies that we will be (mostly) discussing: Thoroughbreds (2017), directed by Cory Finley Perfect Blue (パーフェクトブルー) (1997), directed by Satoshi Kon Nothing (2003), directed by Vincenzo Natali Carrie (1976), directed by Brian De Palma Goodnight Mommy (Ich Seh Ich Seh) (2014), directed by Veronika Franz & Severin Fiala Into and Outro music: Scorpions sting by Celeste3 https://celest3.bandcamp.com/track/scorpions-sting And please help her out: https://ko-fi.com/pupceleste If you have questions, suggestions, or interested to be on the show, let Jay know: jay@box.jaywhangmakes.com

    Marquis (1989) - Podcast's first NSFW episode

    Episode recorded: June 14th, 2025 (06/14/2025) This is where me and my new co-host Madzy Williams will be talking about the adult-only, French-language anthropomorphic animal puppet movie about the notorious Marquis during the French revolution and it has a talking peepee. And we discuss how I could turn that into a cut-out animated show made for late-night television audiences. But here are a few things I would like to share. One, Meredith will be back next month. We will be talking about a movie that she has mentioned in the end of the first episode. Two, the composer of this podcast’s intro and outro music, Pupceleste, is soon moving out and need some money. I would like you all to donate some to her moving expenses. Her ko-fi link address is: https://www.ko-fi.com/pupceleste. Three, there are protests going on around the world. And we recorded this during the NoKing protest on June the 14th. If you are still planning to go outside and participate in local demonstrations, here are my advice: Have your mask up, have your goggles on, bring a water bottle, carry some extra cash, don’t take photos of protestors, have your phone airplane mode on, and write down emergency contact and legal counsel numbers on your arm. Stay safe wherever you are. Finally, this will be a very special episode in a way that it’s perhaps our first NSFW episode. We will be talking about the lowest of the lows in the history and it will contain some triggering subjects. To list most of CONTENT WARNINGS: the mention of both actual and alleged sex offenders – such as the Marquis de Sade, Roman Polanski, Bill Cosby, Justin Roiland, and John Kricfalusi, sexual assaults, rape jokes, coprophilia, fascism, furries, a talking penis, and live-action remake of Disney animated movies. And also, this podcast is not sponsored by Raytheon. Movies that we mainly talk about in this episode (and spoilers ahead): Marquis (1989), directed by Henri Xhonneux Fantastic Planet (La Planète sauvage) (1973), directed René Laloux The Tenant (Le locataire) (1976), directed by Roman Polanski Quills (2000), directed by Philip Kaufman Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma) (1975), directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini I would like to give a shout out to French YouTuber Nicolas Delage for spending 4 years to make a video on this movie and meeting with people behind it. His video was very helpful for my research. https://youtu.be/GRsNPytxMdg And also, my birthday is coming up. (Yup, I am a Cancer baby!) I would like to receive some gifts form you all listeners. https://throne.com/designergaze If you have questions, suggestions, or interested to be on the show, let Jay know: jay@box.jaywhangmakes.com

    Episode recorded: April 27th, 2025 (04/27/2025) Meredith couldn't be here to record, so I brought in a last-minute guest to fill her role. We talked about Luc Besson's space adventure masterpiece and his tribute to Valérian et Laureline comic book series, which he grew up reading as a teen boy in France. From there on, we talked about Bruce Willis and how much he was the lightning in a bottle and why the world needs more colorful sci-fi adventures stories in any medium.
