Get Out
by Audrey Graham and Sharee Jackson
Based on the novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg, Cinematic Pulse’s movie this week was picked by one of their subscribers. Listen in as Sharee and Audrey discuss some of the film’s themes, the past/present narrative format, and the relatability of this 1991 classic.
In honor of Audrey’s late grandmother, the Cinematic Pulse duo discuss her favorite movie — the 1965 Julie Andrews classic, The Sound of Music.
A warning for our listeners: While this episode does not contain any directly explicit content, it does discuss very difficult themes and events, including grooming and sexual exploitation of minors. Listener discretion is advised. Sharee and Audrey discuss the gut-wrenching HBO docuseries that exposed the appalling atmosphere and actions behind the glory days of Nickelodeon Studios.
In celebration of the upcoming solar eclipse, Cinematic Pulse FINALLY does their most-requested episode EVER. Audrey and Sharee finally dive into the film adaptation of Stephanie Meyer’s genre-defining novel, Twilight. As a filmmaker, Sharee LOVES this movie; as a writer, Audrey DOES NOT. Tune in for this perfect yin-yang of an episode as the duo gives their fans what they want at long last.
For Women’s History Month, Sharee and Audrey thought they would tackle one of fiction’s great heroine’s — Katniss Everdeen. Listen in as they discuss the star-studded cast, the heart-wrenching themes of this movie, and how it feels to fight for what you love.
For Women's History month, Sharee and Audrey are taking a closer look at Greta Gerwig's cerebral comedy Barbie. Full of intelligent satire and commentary on what it means to just be human, Cinematic Pulse attempts to unpack a film which, in their opinion, was criminally under-awarded.
Based on Isaac Marion’s novel of the same name, Warm Bodies is a romance-comedy-action mashup that tells the story of Romeo and Juliet set in a zombie apocalypse. Listen as Sharee and Audrey break down the movie’s themes in this belated Valentine’s Day episode.
With Sharee off this week, Audrey is on solo to discuss the first season of the much-anticipated Disney+ series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” She discusses target audience, production value and casting, and (of course) how this series compares to the best-selling book series by Rick Riordan.
Get Out made Jordan Peele the very first black American writer, producer, and director to make over $100 million in a film debut. In honor of Black History Month, Sharee and Audrey dive in to the breakout thriller and cultural sensation and Oscar award-winner for “Best Original Screenplay.”
Cinematic Pulse finally tackles Studio Ghibli! Tune in for a discussion on the 2004 film Howl’s Moving Castle and why Sharee loves this animation style so much!
