Episode 51: Green in Any Other Genre Would Be As Sweet

What’s going on with David Gordon Green? First he directs a line of stellar, intense art films, beginning with the coming-of-age drama George Washington and the woozy, lovesick All the Real Girls, then eventually does a complete 180 to helm the Apatow-produced stoner-action-comedy Pineapple Express (starring Seth Rogen, who Rick might have a personal beef with…). Word is he wants to do a dragon movie next. But is this apparent wunderkind really all he’s made out to be? Find out when Rick, Simon and special guest Derek discuss these films - as well as a few “bonus” cinematic atrocities that Simon and Rick were subjected to over the course of the week - to cap off The Naked Lunch’s first season!

Beginning our newfound pledge to cover more documentary features, we present a full hour of docs we’ve recently taken in - two from the Fantasia festival and one just for the fun of it, and we’ve invited documentary fanatic Derek Gladu to chip in. I Think We’re Alone Now follows two very different social misfits (one a severe Asperger’s case, the other a medical hermaphrodite) who share one common quirk: their love of (and subsequent obsession over) 80’s pop star Tiffany. We’ve got an interview with director Sean Donnelly. Meanwhile, Second Skin is an ambitious look at the world of MMORPG addicts and the ways in which virtual worlds can both wreak havoc upon and occasionally improve reality. Finally, just for kicks, we’ll discuss one of Rick’s favorite recent docs, The Nomi Song, which explores the exploits of legendary German counter-tenor / pop star Klaus Nomi.

All kinds of exciting things happen to human flesh in our final show on Fantasia’s new wave of American horror films. It’s harvested in harsh socioeconomic conditions in Darren Lynn Bousman’s passion project Repo! The Genetic Opera. It’s hung up on hooks and stripped like cattle in the much-anticipated Clive Barker adaptation The Midnight Meat Train. (Those last two were both world premieres, folks.) It’s devoured and processed in all kinds of nasty ways in teen zombie comedy Dance of the Dead. Redneck flesh gets an especially grotesque treatment in the exploitation flick Trailer Park of Terror. Finally, it’s dispatched through a number of inventive methods in the suicide cult thriller From Within. Even the Aussies aren’t immune - their new thriller Dying Breed centers around an isolated camp of forest-dwelling cannibals! Much like tofu, however, all of this goremongering isn’t worth much without the right chemistry - do any of these stand up to Ricky and Simon’s high standards? Well, at least one of them doesn’t. Find out which!

The Dark Knight

It’s the year’s most anticipated film, so accordingly we’ve got an extended look at The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan’s latest Bat-opus. We’re going to look in-depth at Nolan’s work on the series, as well as getting into the nitty-gritty on the film itself, both in spoiler and non-spoiler segments. If you haven’t seen it yet (and why not?) come for the first part, then stay and join the cool kids for the spoiler section once you’ve had the pleasure. Same Bat-time…you get the picture.

Episode 44: The Spanish InquisitionIn a nice bit of synchronicity, Fantasia has offered us a slate of new Spanish fantasy and horror films - specifically, the much-hyped “verité” thriller [rec], silent throwback La Antena, apocalyptic thriller Before the Fall, and the time-travel black comedy Timecrimes. Meanwhile, over in Hollywood, Spanish wizard Guillermo del Toro is finally ready to unleash his latest opus, Hellboy II: The Golden Army. Lucky for you, we were able to catch all of these films over the past week, and we’re going to tell you which to seek out and which to ignore, not forgetting to take a quick look back at the first Hellboy.
