One of us is prepared to insist that this Academy Award winning film is more than just âthat fish-sex movie.â
A little behind the scenes: in our recording schedule notes Mike keeps writing the title of this movie as âShapes of Waterâ. For those of you who know him to be a fully-committed listman and self-professed admirer of Guillermo del Toro, this is shocking. This may is your first hint of his true feelings about this film.

Director Jacques Demy returns to the podcast with a notably non-musical romance this time. Gone are the songs and vibrant colors, instead we are given⊠crushing, co-dependent gambling addictions? Can a platinum blonde Jean Moreau give us hope? Maybe just one last spinâŠ

Spoiler alert. In this movie Christopher Lee stabs Boris Karloff and Boris Karloff throws acid in Christopher Leeâs face. And thereâs some stuff about 19th century medical experiments, but mostly that first part.

Neither a documentary on the films of David Lynch nor a film about the man we knew as David Lynch. But an account of a young man who through circumstance and single-minded drive, would find himself in and construct just the sort of environment that could form a David Lynch. Directors Olivia Neergaard-Holm, Jon Nguyen, and Rick Barnes put the camera on a man making art and a microphone on a man looking back at his early life. And they leave it up to us to make connections between the two.

This week we return to the Shohei Imamuraâs âPigs, Pimps, and Prostitutesâ collection with his âentomological studyâ of one womanâs lifelong struggle for survival and purpose in a cruel modern world. Style, ambiguity, and shock mark this as a classic Imamura story.

Legendary 1980s/90s Hong Kong/Hollywood action auteur John Woo sets an early pace for his legendary career with a period-kung fu movie about two swordsman-buddies caught in the midst of a bloody revenge plot between warring clans. Spoiler alert: there's a martial arts master whose style is "asleep."

From the clanky jangle of that first Tom Waits song to that jangly clank of the last Tom Waits song, you know you are in for a treat. Jim Jarmusch pops back up on the show with his humanist anthology of five stories set in cabs, each taking place in a different city on the same night. Winona, Gena, Giancarlo, Armin, Rosie, Isaach, uh.. Beatrice, Roberto, and ⊠Matti? Look he went truly international with his cast, so I canât name them all off the top of my head.

Cat, piano, well, watermelon, mirror, bananas. You know, you're basic horror movie formula. Director Nobuhiko Obayashi spins a eerily formulaic but wildly unanticipate-able story of teens. And death.

Join us as we discuss Phillip Kaufmanâs adaptation of Milan Kunderaâs novel of Prague Spring and its aftermath, starring some distractingly beautiful people.

David Lynchâs follow-up to one of the most disturbing and lovingly crafted pieces of auteur cinema ever made is⊠an Oscar-bait biopic? Sure: he brazenly assaults Victorian (and maybe even a few modern) sensibilities by frankly visualizing the appearance and living conditions of a young man cast from polite society. And, yeah-yeah, who are the REAL monsters, amiright? But more that this, Lynch taps into is own dark dreamscape, to poke at the less obvious, but deeply felt, horrors of the industrial age.

If you throw everything at the wall (romance, screwball comedy, noir thriller, globe-trotting action) you will ALMOST predict one of the great disasters of the twentieth century. This coincidence is inevitably repeated a ton on the IMDb trivia page. But spare yourself from being spoiled and just watch Frank Borzageâs charming tale of star-crossed lovers set against a backdrop of 1930s Hollywood glamour.

Get ready for another action-packedâŠYasuhiro Ozu movie? Well, at least compared to his other masterpieces. Buckle up for this bracingly gentle study of a middle-aged married couple as they lightly bicker and tell harmless lies to one another all in service of slowly coming to understand and maybe even love each other. Hope you survive the experience!

Is this the one where Keanu takes a bunch of future drugs? I mean that DOES sound kind of like a Cronenberg movieâŠ. No wait! Itâs the head exploding one. Except that maybe, just maybe, this early 80s psychic thriller offers a whole lot more than just exploding heads. But donât worry: if you really like exploding heads, this film still has you covered.

Soviet cinema at its most⊠spiritual? Iconoclast director Sergei Parajanovâs deeply personal exploration of the cultural echoes found in the life of 18th-century Armenian troubadour/monk Sayat-Nova uses manuscript-inspired tableaux vivants, exquisite staging, and a profoundly rich symbolic vocabulary to sneak this one past the censors. Sort of.

Content warning: this film contains depictions of suicide.
Come check out Mike and Charlie realizing exactly what theyâve gotten themself into AFTER watching this movie and getting about halfway through our discussion about it. Yukio Mishima and Domoto Masakiâs rich confrontation of Noh-style staging with richly visualized sensuality propels a short film about a married coupleâs suicided following a failed coup-dâetat in 1936 Japan.
