Thank you! That was quite the jam session!

Yeah I read that Clarice isn't very good, though it's early in its run. Supposedly Hannibal is great so I think that might be the next show we watch. Is 86 Manhunter any good?? They essentially remade it with Hopkins in the early 00s right?

Manhunter is terrific! Michael Mann directed that and Brian Cox plays Hannibal Lecter. Yes, that was remade into Red Dragon (the name of the novel) which came out in 2002 with Anthony Hopkins. Actually, a year before that we finally got the Silence Of The Lambs sequel Hannibal which was without Jodie Foster and directed by Ridley Scott. Julianne Moore took over the role of Clarice. The only thing that I remember about Hannibal was a scene with Ray Liotta that almost made me pass out in the theater. 
 

My favorite Jonathan Demme film is Something Wild.

Have they stopped posting these shows to youtube?  Or are they in a different place?  The last entry on Susie's youtube page was from October.

 

Apologies if this has been asked and answered 10 pages ago!

Susie addressed this on an episode last week. I’m paraphrasing, but I believe the gist of it was that they were encountering audio issues when they were uploading the episodes to YouTube. I seem to think that YouTube was blocking the audio, but maybe there was another issue.
 

She also mentioned that she was going to try to upload them again. I noticed that there was an upload recently on the account and yes, it’s from October. YouTube be crazy!

I need a recommendation of something uplifting...funny would be lovely, but not too slapstick. Something with substance and heart behind the jokes. Who's got one?

I have the perfect film for that you completely won me over: Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar. It’s available wherever you rent movies, but it is $19.99 to rent right now. It’s well worth it though! 
 

Anyways, Kristen Wiig & Annie Mumolo wrote & created an instant cult classic that might be the most quotable film in quite some time. The comedy is all over the place and I mean that in the best way possible. It’s absurd, light, goofy, slapstick, and anything goes, but the 2 main characters are what makes the whole thing work. Their friendship is really well written, yet it is a sendup of female friendships in a particular age group. The comedic landscape that the film plays around in reminded me of Austin Powers mixed with Bridesmaids and a dash of Hot Rod for the music. 
 

There really hasn’t been much in terms of new comedies since the pandemic started and obviously we need to laugh. This definitely helped fill the void big time. I just wish that I could have laughed with a sold out audience.

u2roolz, I was fortunate to catch Black Bear as part of a virtual film festival. It was the first movie that I screened, and it speaks to the film's originality that it somehow remained near the top of my mind as I navigated another 74 feature films!

I, too, really liked The Vast of Night. Sound is elevated to a fascinating motif, whether it means speaking (the rat-a-tat dialogue is a compendium of ‘50s slang), listening (there are several long monologues, including one over a black screen), or recording (remember reel-to-reel machines?). But the visuals are often captivating, too, especially a 10-minute shot that showcases a young woman simply processing her next steps and also one show-offy shot that travels through several roads, fields, and buildings, including the local gymnasium where most of the town’s residents are gathered for a basketball game. I found the payoff unsatisfying, but based on this fleet, suspenseful, Spielbergian effort, I’m eager to see what Patterson does next.

Jim Cummings really is a fascinating figure. I presume you have seen Thunder Road (there's a short and a feature)? Like The Wolf of Snow Hollow, it's an off-kilter genre hybrid with an edgy Cummings performance at the center.

I was less enamored with Tesla. I was on board for only about thirty minutes; I think I agree with you that The Current War is a better experience, but it's tough to compare since they are radically different types of works. I also didn't care for The Relic, but I suspect I really need to give it another chance.

Sorry for the really late response on this!

Wow! I can’t even fathom watching 74 films over what I presume was a short window. 

Andrew Patterson’s next feature is a revenge thriller set in the honeybee industry. I can’t wait! 

You know that I was never aware of Jim Cummings or Thunder Road, until I came across The Wolf Of Snow Hollow. I’ve been meaning to rent it or track it down on one of the many streaming services, but haven’t rented it yet. Edited: I just checked and it’s on Amazon Prime Video. Hmm...I don’t remember seeing this on there last time I checked. 
 

Actually, a former co-worker of mine has a friend of his that interned on a film that Jim Cummings produced that just hit Tubi: Beast Beast. I haven’t watched that one either, but I’ve heard great things about it.

Oops... I need to make it a habit to look at your recaps before I update the spreadsheet.

Just looked at your notes. I called the new song "Sing In The Choir." I'll go back and change it to match your recap. (Trying to keep everything in sync.)

I almost called it that. There were a few titles that came to mind. I decided against “Sing In The Choir” because I don’t think I’d remember that those lyrics had something to do with viewing present day America through Jeff’s eyes in that song. That being said, I’ve only heard the song once.

The song Jeff and Spencer tried and abandoned on 1/28 was "I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight" by Richard & Linda Thompson.  I hope they work it out and play it on a later show because it's a great song!

Thank you for this information! 
 

Regarding the January 28th episode, I can’t remember if this was played on the couch or if Spencer was on his drum set. I do know that they played a bit of something on the drum set that didn’t have lyrics. I do recall some unfamiliar lyrics being sung by Jeff on the couch, before they abandoned it.

Any time we get New Madrid, it's special.

 

Check the connection area inside the iPhone for lint and dust!

Good idea, but it looks like it was the charger cable. It did come back to life on a different charger after some time. I had it behind my couch for a long time, so it's next to my bed and I figured something would happen eventually. Too many times I would check my phone when it was connected and it would tug, so it seems like that helped cause some corrosion. 

It's an older iPhone and luckily I still have some of the older chargers here. I think the older chargers work faster than the newer "coaster" chargers for the newer iPhones.
