  • Episode 130: Withnail & I
    Sep 24 2021

    I don’t have anything very witty to say about this episode: we end our “Tribute to Ian” series by talking about his favorite film “Withnail & I”. I was so honored to have Liz Woodington (Ian’s wife and guest on our “The Dark Knight” episode) join me to discuss a film so beloved to Ian and so many others. We discuss the peculiarities of Bruce Robinson, the immense quotability of the script, and the wonderful payoff of that final Hamlet speech. Talking about this film without Ian is not the way that anybody wants to hear it, but Liz brought her unique perspective and Ian’s love for this film to the discussion and I could not have hoped for a better episode. This week, Liz recommends “The Boat that Rocked” (available to rent on most major platforms) and Adam recommends “Life Itself” (available on Prime, Kanopy, & Hoopla). I wish I could say that “1001 by 1” is going to continue, but I’m not sure if it will. Please continue to follow us and stay tuned as we slowly re-release our entire back catalog so that Ian’s legacy can live on.

  • Episode 129: Blade Runner
    Sep 20 2021

    Quite fitting that our 2nd to last episode in our “Tribute to Ian” series was his 2nd favorite film. As he was a self-proclaimed “Ridley Scott fanboy”, we will be discussing the Sci-Fi noir “Blade Runner” this week. Adam is joined by Brittany Reinholz-Hobson (from our “Audition” episode) to discuss a myriad of topics on this complicated film: from the different cuts to Ridley’s struggles with the producers; from the treatment of Sean Young to the unicorn and “who is a replicant?” question. This movie is a mountain of talking points – and while we did not get to everything, we feel good about the depth we got to on each idea. Also, this week Brittany recommends “I Saw the Devil” (currently ad-free on Kanopy) and Adam recommends “Battle Royale” (also currently ad-free on Kanopy).
