THX 1138 w/Martin Kessler - PDSMiOS 170

Oct 2, 2022

1hr 29 min

You know that guy George Lucas? He made other things besides Star Wars. Actually, that is a terrible way to introduce this episode. The kind of hardcore sci-fi fans that subscribe to this podcast no doubt are aware of the movie THX-1138, they probably have strong opinions about said film! Well QUIET DOWN. It’s our turn to talk about this particular science fiction PICTURE.

Joel here. I had not seen this movie before I recorded this episode. Along with special guest Martin Kessler (Writer for The Pink Smoke and guest on Shoot the Piano Player among other great podcasts), who had seen this movie before, we managed to scrape away at the the surface of this surprisingly deep movie. One watch and I walked away with so many references that I had seen in other movies. I had no idea how much of an inspiration this movie served for the sci-fi filmmakers that came later. James Cameron, Ridley Scott, some other people I am forgetting (reminder: My brain is not a sponge but rather a pitcher of knowledge in that it overflows and things spill out). I highly recommend THX 1138. The visuals alone are worth the watch.

Burst City: (New) PDSMiOS 169

Aug 26, 2022

1hr 23 min

Hello everyone. We're back. Well... to be more precise, I am back. This is the new version of PDSMiOS. One guest with me (Joel) talking about a sci-fi movie we decided on together. An Important WARNING for those with young ones or those sensitive to cursing, I AM NO LONGER BLEEPING OUT THE CURSE WORDS. This decision is based on feedback from a few listeners. I imagine most people won't notice, but for those of you who do, reach out to me on Twitter or at PleaseDontPodcast@gmail.com. We can probably figure something out.

Anyway, enough house keeping. My guest on this episode is someone I can now call an old friends of mine. He has been my recording partner on Shoot the Piano Player, We Cut Heads, and High and Low. He has been part of the perfect trio that performs on The Arbitrary Indiscriminate Movie Podcast. He is the one called Spencer Seams and he has picked an amazing movie called Burst City from 1982! It is difficult to describe Burst City in terms of subgenre. Let me just say it is part Repo Man, part Fury Road, part A Hard Day's Night, and the rest is some of the most interesting stuff put on film.

I hope you enjoy the discussion we had. I have 4 more episodes ready for me to edit, so keep an eye on your podcast feeds. It's going to be wild.

This time, we are joined by our pal Spencer to talk about a Spanish movie about two people who love death and sex. That's all its about. There is definitely not a psychic Antonio Banderas in it. Uhhh... The movie is Matador from 1986!
