As we've moved through the podcast, and guesting on podcasts, I've realized a lot of what I focus on in terms of these discussions are things and movies that I really want to talk about, and with people I want to talk about them with. We are at that point with a film that is one of my very favorites about the struggle to create. It is Spike Jonze's "Adaptation.", and joining me in the discussion is return guest David Rosen, a composer and the host of the Piecing It Together podcast. I hope you enjoy!

*There are some blips that you'll hear. Zoom was muting me periodically during the record, and so it resulted in a lot of stops in the record. I edited as many out as I could.

**The end music is my original composition, “Creative Beginnings.”

Movie Memories with My Mom

Sonic Cinema Podcast

play

02/23/23 • 67 min

There's a lot to set up in this episode- which I try to in the episode- but this is, simply, a discussion with my mother, Victoria Skutle. She was an actress, a lifelong movie fan, and obsessive about the TV shows she loved. This was recorded in December 2018, after I noticed her memory starting to slip, and before we officially heard her dementia diagnosis from doctors. I hope you enjoy- it's as enlightening about me as it is her.

With the release of his semi-autobiographical film, "The Fabelmans," it's finally time to discuss Steven Spielberg in depth on the podcast. Joining me in a wide-ranging discussion of Spielberg's impact on film, how he means something else to audiences now than he did when he started, as well as our favorite films, is Danielle Solzman from Solzy at the Movies and Darin Lundberg from NostalgiaCast. I hope you enjoy!

Joining me once again is Amanda Spears to discuss the chaos of the 95th Oscar nominations before I wrap things up with my 10 Best films of 2022. I hope you enjoy!

This episode is the continuation of a discussion I began with Robert Yaniz Jr. on his Close Watch podcast about the 2012 epic by the Wachowski sisters and Tom Tykwer, "Cloud Atlas." We focused on the film in that episode; here, we dive into the score by Tykwer, Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil. I hope you listen to both of these episodes as a piece to get the full scope of our discussion on a movie I love.

Also, the music at the end of this episode is an original composition of mine for concert band called, "Interludes for Winds, Marimba and Timpani." I hope you enjoy!

It's Leo season on the horoscope, and I wanted to mark the occasion by welcoming two fellow Chaotic Leos back to the podcast. What topic would make the most sense? How about the most chaotic lion in movie history, MGM? Joining me are Morgan and Chels from the Untitled Cinema Gals Project, and we discuss the studio, the old Hollywood system, and "The Thin Man," "The Women" and "North By Northwest." I hope you enjoy!

If you want to talk horror, there are few people better to talk to than former critic, and current podcaster and filmmaker, Scott Weinberg. This month, I wanted to discuss some of his favorite under-the-radar horror films, and you could not get a better lineup to hear about than "Session 9," "Frailty" and "May." I hope you enjoy!

The piece of music at the end is my original composition, "Into the Dark Alone."

In this episode of the podcast, we celebrate an anniversary that lives in infamy. Is 2002's "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever" really deserving of the honor of being the worst-reviewed film on Rotten Tomatoes? Joining the podcast for the first time to discuss the film is film critic Shaurya Chawla. I hope you enjoy!

After a slight delay, the "Established Classics" series continues, and begins the 2023 podcast year. As always, I am joined by actor Timothy J. Cox to discuss three terrific classics from Hollywood's Golden Age. This year, we begin with Preston Sturges's 1941 classic, "Sullivan's Travels". Next, we discuss Elia Kazan's Oscar-winning masterpiece, "On the Waterfront" before concluding with Alexander Mackendrick's "Sweet Smell of Success". I hope you enjoy!

Brian and frequent guest Phil Fasso get together for a discussion on the new "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" movie released by Netflix, and why it's attempts at social commentary are as hackneyed as a body after Leatherface is done with it.

Podcast Q&A

What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?

I hope listeners gain not only an appreciation for the films we discuss, but also the different perspectives my guests have to offer.

Which episode should someone start with?

Episode 1 is a good place to start to get to why I started the podcast. In terms of episodes with guests, my first interview with filmmakers Princeton Holt and Brian Ackley, as well as my deep dive into Scorsese’s Faith trilogy with Chris Esper.

Which have been your favourite episodes so far?

Our roundtable review of “The Last Jedi,” our “Established Classics” series with Timothy J. Cox, my deep dive into Steven Spielberg with Darin Lundberg and Danielle Solzman, our discussion on Scorsese’s Faith trilogy, our discussion on “Face/Off” with Jakob Billinski.

Which episode are you most proud of?

If I had to boil down the heart of what the show is to a "reference quality" episode, probably my discussion with my mother, and what she loved, released in 2023.

What is your vision for your show?

The Sonic Cinema Podcast is about making connections through our shared love of movies, and sharing those connections with listeners.

What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?

I love the concepts of Binge Movies and The Movie Loot podcasts. Of podcasts I haven’t been on, I’d pour one out for ‘80s All Over.

Tell us a bit about yourself

Brian Skutle’s passion is for storytelling, be it through music, film, or creative writing, with the story dictating the medium that best brings it to life. In his music though, it may not be a specific story that inspires him but a feeling. A sense of longing. Of mystery. Of tension. Of serenity. Of sensuality. Of something beyond the humdrum normalcy of life, though sometimes his goal is to just compose for the fun of creating.
