    Decade vs Decade: 60s v 80s (Oscar Winners)

    Decade vs Decade: 60s v 80s (Oscar Winners)

    Dan and Jenna are back with another episode of their wheel-spinning, decade spanning movie discussion series! In this episode, they spun the wheel and landed on Oscar Winners and picked one Best Picture winner and one Best Foreign Picture winner to discuss.

    Jenna picked Sundays and Cybele (1962, Serge Bourguignon), a black-and-white drama about the unlikely and potentially dangerous relationship between an emotionally fragile veteran and a young orphan.

    Dan picked Ordinary People (1980, Robert Redford), a sensitively portrayed drama about a family dealing with trauma, grief, mental health, decaying relationships, therapy, suicide and more. Fun!

    Doubles Talk

    Doubles Talk

    We have something-something on our mind: doubles. Specifically, unsolicited clones of yourself and all of the feelings that come with – including the clones. In this episode, Jenna and Veronica get into spoilery talk about Brandon Cronenberg's Infinity Pool (2023), Riley Stearns's Dual (2022) and Charlie McDowell's The One I Love (2014), all of which deal with a double dose of existential terror as it relates to clones and relationship drama.

One of my new faves

Great podcast! Lots of insight on obscure movies - they even reviewed an old Jeff Goldblum one I had somehow missed. Definitely worth checking out!

Karamashi ,

Excellent film podcast!

I love BlackRow and now they have an podcast with the same amazingly talented, informed, and funny peeps! Jenna and Carlow consistently cover a dizzying array of topics from Hong Kong cinema to late 2000’s thrillers and Jeff Goldblum! Keep up the great work!
