Abe sets out to convince Adam that Demolition Man’s direction is sneaky complex, albeit flawed. Looking at camera, lighting, and production design, the past and the present are at odds in the film which begs the question: based on its own system of design who is the true hero of Demolition Man?

306. Directorpiece Theatre: Framing Demolition Man’s Two Worlds

Cody Johnston of Some More News pops in to tell us his thoughts about John Carpenter’s The Thing. The director regards this as his favorite of his films. It did terribly at the box office, but has since become a cult film, generating video games and board games in its image. Abe tries to explain why it’s his favorite horror film. The others see his point, but I don’t know, it’s good, but best? They talk, you decide!

Everyone thank Robot Crank for generously donating toward this episode. We love you, Robot Crank.

318. Frame Rate: The Thing (1982) (Feat. Cody Johnston)

Hosts Tom and Dave seem to hone in the premise by battling famous horror movie heroes against pod people while somehow in the plot to Speed 2. It's weird.

Big thanks to producer James Raney for making it happen!

Our heroes are joined by Jason "David Wong" Pargin (John Dies at the End & the Zoey Ashe series) to discuss a film that scares him the most, and what it says about violence in cinema.

We Just Watched... Funny Games (With Jason "David Wong" Pargin)

Hosts Tom and Dave are absolutely floored by the sheet number of recognizable talent willing to be in this movie. Also - more questions about how, exactly, angels work!

Special thanks to producer Bobgrenville!

THE PROPHECast - Ep 02 - The Prophecy II

Abe walks us through the early 2000's and the development of that era’s neo-noir look, how technology facilitated its dominance over the box office, and why Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was both an adopter and a trailblazer in this visual movement. Also, Jim Broadbent was a chair in this movie. Name another movie that’s true. Thought so.

The book that Abe references in the episode is “The Development of Post-war Literary and Cinematic Noir” by Lee Horsley.

327. Directorpiece Theatre: Why Harry Potter’s Later Films Feel Like Fincher Movies

บ่อยครั้งที่เรามักพูดคำว่า "จะ" แต่หากนึกย้อนกลับไปในสิ่งที่เราเคยพูด กลับเป็นสิ่งที่เรายังไม่ได้แม้แต่ลองทำด้วยซ้ำ ดังนั้น ควรลดคำว่า "จะ" ลง คิดให้รอบคอบ แล้วลงมือทำทันที อาจช่วยให้สิ่งที่เคย "จะ" สำเร็จไวขึ้น
