Episode 255: The City of Lost Children with Jared Skolnick

On our third Movie Night Dystopia episode, Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kristina Oakes, and Kt Baldassaro talk to filmmaker Jared Skolnick about Marc Caro & Jean-Pierre Jeunet's the City of Lost Children. The City of Lost Children is a fairy tale like surrealist black comedy about a mad scientist who kidnaps orphans in order to steal their dreams. Two years ago, on Movie Night Apocalypse, we talked to Jared and Kt about Caro-Jeunet's earlier film Delicatessen. The City of Lost Children stars Ron Perlman, who learned literally just enough French to say his lines, as well as Dominique Pinon, Daniel Emilfork, Jean-Claude Dreyfus, Cemetery Man's François Hadji-Lazaro, and Judith Vittet. #ronperlman #french #frenchcinema #surrealism #dreams #jeanpierre #marccaro #jeanpierrejeunet #amelie #filmpodcast #moviepodcast #horrormoviepodcast #cinema #frenchmovie #dystopian Jared's latest project is WOODFELLAS: While traveling to the countryside to 'deal with’ an informant, three Boston mobsters run afoul of a murderous woodland cult. Cornered in a cabin, they must band together to survive a siege of zealots ready to make them their next sacrifice.

Episode 254: Akira

Forrest, Conan Neutron, and Kt Baldassaro talk about Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 animated cyberpunk action film Akira! Based on Katsuhiro Otomo's manga series of the same name, Akira is an action packed and incredibly stylish cautionary tale about scientific experimentation and the mindset that led to the development of nuclear weapons. In a Post-World War 3 Neo-Tokyo.. rebuilt after a massive explosion.. biker gangs roam a city with a badly corrupt government and increasingly powerful military that's on the brink of collapse. The Capsules, led by Shotaro Kaneda and his hapless best friend Tetsuo Shima, get thrown into the middle of a story that involves a secret government program to experiment on children, the anti-government resistance, a mysterious figure named Akira, and 3 psychic children called the Espers #akira #manga #katsuhirootomo #toho #epic #marvel #cyberpunk #tokyo #neo #neotokyo #moviepodcast #sciencefiction #scienceexperiment #moviepodcast #filmpodcast #movielovers #animation Akira is widely credited with bringing a new level of interest to American Audiences who had only just started our fascination with Manga and Japanese Pop Culture. It has also been pointed out that it got some predictions.. like the 2020 Tokyo Olympics... eerily right.

Episode 251: Strange Darling

Episode 250!!! Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kristina Oakes, and Kt Baldassaro.. just the crew on this one.. talk about JT Mollner's 2024 provocative and brutally violent thriller Strange Darling. This is a breakout performance for both leads Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner as a man and a woman whose bad date turns sharply into a deeply brutal cat and mouse game. Actor Giovanni Ribisi was behind the camera on this one for the first time and the cinematography was stunning. Deeply provocative, stylistic, violent and completely misanthropic.. Strange Darling is one of the most interesting movies of the year. #strangedarling #moviepodcast #filmpodcast #kylegallner #giovanniribisi #cinematography #cinematalk #horrormovies #horrormoviepodcast #moviepodcast #thriller #thrillermovies Watch KT Baldassaro & Jared Skolnick's Girl in the Basement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcn2Q57VXEQ Join our discord: https://discord.gg/jhvuexTJ The Movie Night Extravaganza Patreon helps us keep the show going.. become a Patron and support the show!! https://patreon.com/MovieNightExtra Conan Neutron has music available from Conan Neutron & The Secret Friends https://neutronfriends.bandcamp.com OR if you want to become a Protonic Reversal patron: https://patreon.com/protonicreversal
