Fargo (1996)

03/06/21 • 26 min

James (14) has never seen the Coen Brothers classic, Fargo. We watched it together and then recorded a podcast about it.

Is this the most Coen Brothers of all Coen Brothers movies, and what trait does it share with Psycho?

During the episode we reference the excellent Team Deakins podcast, with cinematographer Roger Deakins. Check it out. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/team-deakins/id1510638084

Rocky

James (14) has never seen the Sylvester Stallone classic, Rocky. We watched it together and then recorded a podcast about what he thought of it.

Is this cinema’s greatest sports movie, and is hitting meat the best way to train for a fight?

During the episode we reference the following article and behind the scenes photos on the Cinephilia and Beyond website:

'Alien' and 'Aliens'

James (14) has never seen the Ridley Scott’s Alien or James Cameron’s Aliens. For this double episode we watched both films together, recording the ‘Alien’ section first, then recording the rest after viewing the classic sequel.

Is the build up to the chest burster scene in ‘Alien’ more distressing than the chest burst itself; and is ‘Aliens’ the greatest example of tension building in cinema history?
