a live dog beset by dead lion (maternal superego located in a doll). It seems bizarre that it’s taken so long for this podcast to get around to Lucky McKee’s May, the 2002 cult favourite about a young woman who, faced with relentless imperfection in the world around her, decides to make something whole and perfect. Results are mixed. Are Adam and A…

White Nights! The nights are white. The country is red. The politics are red, white and blue. The lives are separate and ongoing. The saying is you and me. The pirouettes are plentiful (11 in total). The Baryshnikov is Mikhail, the Hines is Gregory. The meet is cute. The couple is odd. The dances are amazing. The music is kind of lousy, tbh. The Ru…

sky dog and the lion of tomorrow When Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow came out in 2004, much was made of the fact that director Kerry Conran had landed the job on the strength of a short film painstakingly made on his computer.

you know, i’m something of a huckleberry myself. Sometimes a great performance turns an average movie into a classic. It’s hard to imagine Tombstone without Kilmer’s grand and tragic take on Doc Holliday, a man whose vanity seems to be consuming him from the inside throughout the film. Tombstone may be Kilmer’s crowning achievement. Listen to us ta…
