Filmwhys #38 Perfect Blue and the Dark Knight

Welcome back to another Batman themed episode, and one of only a small handful of times where I can arguably have the better argument of a movie that someone should have seen by now. Episode 38 of the Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is Elwood Jones from From the Depths of DVD Hell who asks me why I haven’t seen Perfect Blue, one of the older and well respected anime movies that was a strong influence on Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan. And in return, I get to ask him why he hasn’t seen arguably the greatest superhero movie of all time, the Dark Knight.

Welcome back to another episode of Filmwhys starting off my first event here on the show. For the next five weeks I’ll be taking a look at plenty of Batman, and what better place to start then at the beginning. At least the beginning of Christopher Nolan’s trilogy. My guest is Jess from French Toast Sunday who asks me why I haven’t seen the classic romantic comedy for people who don’t necessarily like romantic comedies When Harry Met Sally… and in return I ask her why she hasn’t seen the beginning of Christopher Nolan’s epic Dark Knight Trilogy, Batman Begins.

Filmwhys #36 Goldfinger and The Iron Giant

Apologies for the brief lack of posts here this week, things have been rather busy at home and I while I was able to watch several movies for a couple podcasts and a review, I haven’t been able to sit down for long periods of time to do the important parts: writing and editing. But here is Episode 36 of the Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is Chris Ramey from AfterCredits who asks me why I haven’t seen Goldfinger, one of the most iconic classic James Bond films starring Sean Connery. And in return, I ask him why he hasn’t seen the Iron Giant, Brad Bird’s modern classic and underappreciated gem of an animated film made before he went on to do the Incredibles for Pixar.

Filmwhys #34: Rosemary’s Baby and Supergirl

Episode 34 of the Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest Eric from TheIPC asks me why I haven’t seen Rosemary’s Baby, the horror classic from Roman Polanski about a woman who is having the devil’s baby but takes the entire course of the pregnancy to fully realize it. And in return, I ask him why he hasn’t seen Supergirl, one of the worst films to come out of the Salkind Superman era with Faye Dunaway hamming it up as the villain and practically no budget for any of the special effects. *Warning: there is some minor language in this episode as I found it hard to talk about his Shitfest otherwise* Also, the Filmwhys archives have been fully updated if you are looking for any recent episodes that had fallen out of the PodOmatic RSS/iTunes feed.
