142 - La La Land

05/12/23 • 102 min

We just can’t get enough of L.A. over here at 1001 by 1, but this week we jumped from the 1980s to the 2010s and started dancing on the hoods of our cars because we are breaking down Damien Chazelle’s “La La Land”. The gang breaks it all down here: the chemistry of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, the movie musical homages, the alternate timeline for our young lovers, and all things jazz. Also, this week Britt recommends “Starry Eyes” (currently on Tubi) while Joey and Adam keep things Chazelle oriented recommending “Babylon” (currently on Paramount+) & “First Man” (available to rent on most major platforms). You can listen to us on Apple Podcast, Stitcher, Spotify, & Google Play. You can find us on Twitter, Instagram, & Facebook at facebook.com/1001by1. You can send us an email at [email protected]. Intro/Outro music is “Bouncy Gypsy Beats” by John Bartmann.

141 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

We’re leaving David Lynch behind but we’re keeping Los Angeles as this week we take the Red Car into Toon Town to discuss Robert Zemeckis’ groundbreaking film: “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”. Join the 1001 by 1 crew as they discuss the various (and lengthy) methods used to create the film, the differences from the source material, and the majesty that was the stellar Bob Hoskins. Also, this week Joey recommends the “Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers” film (currently on Disney+), and Adam & Britt jointly recommend both “Paddington” (currently on Netflix) & “Paddington 2” (currently on TBS/TNT).

143 - Seven Samurai

We FINALLY leave L.A....and we do so by crossing the Pacific Ocean to discuss Akira Kurosawa’s seminal film: “Seven Samurai”. Join the 1001 by 1 crew as we discuss planning missions, the importance of the length, and which of the Seven Samurai would we be? In addition, we ponder over Toshiro Mifune’s performance and whether or not it was too “big” (not unlike his sword). Also, this week Adam recommends the film inspired by this one, “The Magnificent Seven”(available on Prime, Tubi, Kanopy, and many more), Britt recommends another samurai film with “Sword of the Stranger” (available to rent on Microsoft), and Joey keeps it Kurosawa adjacent by recommending “Living” (available to rent on most major platforms).
