The City of Lost Children
3w ago01:54:01Tap to summarizeOn this episode we look back at 1995's dark fantasy film The City of Lost Children starring Ron Perlman.https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-city-of-lost-children--72641406We also discuss recent movies #mastersoftheuniverse #disclosureday and #thefuriousAn international co-production of companies from France, Germany, and Spain, 1995's The City of Lost Children was the second film directed by Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Their previous film Delicatessen, released in 1991, was described as a zany post-apocalyptic black comedy in the style of Terry Gilliam. Based on the success of both Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children, Jeunet would go on to direct 1997's Alien Resurrection and 2001's award winning romantic comedy Amelie.The City of Lost Children not only got its own Playstation game, but would also become a huge inspiration for both the Fallout and Bioshock video game franchises.Fallout designer Tim Cain listed the film among the cinematic influences on the game's art direction, and later said that elements of Fallout's power armor and technology aesthetic drew from the film's helmet eyepieces, tubing, and vents.This movie is also inspired the visual design of the video game BioShock (2007). From the scene of the man in scuba gear carrying a child to the parts where she climbs and descends from the pipes look like they came straight out of the underwater city of Rapture.

Apr 1102:19:37Tap to summarizeOn this week's episode we look back at Robert Rodriguez's 2010 film Machete, starring the legendary Danny Trejo. This film was born out of a fake trailer that played in front of 2007's Grindhouse double feature Planet Terrror and Death Proof. Highly anticipated by devotees of Joe Bob Briggs and fans of old school drive in exploitation films, this ridiculous revenge film did not disappoint at release, but certainly hits different in 2026. https://www.spreaker.com/episode/machete--71259674#robertrodriguez #dannytrejo #Machete

Transcribe →Shuto Kousoku Trial 2
Mar 701:16:27Tap to summarizeThis week we drift back on to the Tokyo expressway to discuss 1990's Shuto Kousoku Trial 2. A semi-autobiographical film about professional racer Keiichi Tsuchiya, this film adopted an anti-street racing message, thus avoiding the ban the first movie faced. Spanning 6 films in total, the Shuto Kousoku Trial series had a major infulence on video game series such as Ridge Racer, Tokyo Xtreme Racer, Gran Turismo and Forza Horizon. It also inspired manga and anime series Initial D, and The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift, of which Tsuchiya served as technical advisor and even did most of the stunt driving. So warm up the tires on your Nissan Skyline and prepare to drift into the night.https://www.spreaker.com/episode/shuto-kousoku-trial-2--70524970#80s #90s #drift #drifting #eightsix #expressway #fairladyz #fast #furious #initiald #Nissan #racer #racing #ridgeracer #shuto #shutoku #Skyline #streetracing #Tokyo #xtreme #tokyoxtremeracer

Feb 702:19:03Tap to summarizeThis week we look back at John Carpenter's horror classic The Thing. This movie had the unfortunate timing of releasing two weeks after E.T. in June of 1982. Considered frightening, horrifying, and repellent at the time, it would go on to become a cult hit on home video and is now regarded as one of the greatest horror films of all time. Recently, it also had the honor of being added to the National Film Registry for preservation at the Library of Congress for its cultural, historic and aesthetic importance.
