The Film Talk

By: Jett Loe and Gareth Higgins
  • Summary

  • Jett Loe & Gareth Higgins started talking about movies in 2006, and co-hosted a podcast for eight years. After a ten year break, they're back to discuss movies and the meaning of our lives - how we dream the world through cinema, what we can learn about life through the eyes of others, and how movies can help us get through hard times - and affirm us in the better ones.

  • Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
    May 28 2024

    Is the new George Miller action spectacular a masterpiece or a misfire Dear Listeners? Film reviewers Gareth Higgins and Jett Loe again agree to disagree about the merits of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, (or should it be called a Mad Max Myth?). Along the way they get into what the 'Beyond Vengeance' chapter of the film really means, invoke Monty Python and the Holy Grail, have thoughts about changing frame rates in the movies, and a life of rage that is born out of grief, as well as reminisce about Orson Welles’ “Box of Noses” and Dustin Hoffman’s lack of connection with the youth. Enjoy.

    May 18 2024

    Does compassion and empathy win the day in this new Apes picture?

Along the way the get into all the previous Ape movies, touch on Karl Malden's performance in disaster flick Meteor, have questions about Danny Boyle's Sunshine and fondly recall the Kevin Costner starring Waterworld. Enjoy.

  • Roger Corman - Mourning a Giant
    May 14 2024

    Martin Scorsese said of Roger Corman’s films, “they weren’t encumbered with having to deal with art.” There’s a freedom in that The Film Talk thinks. In this appreciation of the great, prolific director and producer Roger Corman Jett and Gareth touch on his astonishing legacy, the one shirt John Sayles appears to have, a very special Laurie Anderson lyric, the merits of James Cameron’s True Lies and much more. Corman will be missed by many, (Jett hasn’t cried at the death of someone he didn’t know more), yet he exists still, in his work and in the work of those he fostered.
