How does one rise up among the large groups of people who are seeking fame and fortune to be one of the fortunate who succeed? It takes a lot of skill, a heaping pile of luck, and, perhaps, looking to the numbers and stats of the fans you get in order to build off that triumph. Staying true to...

-
Ep. 53 I Don't Give A Flick! - Existential Films
"To be, or not to be? That is the question." Well, no, that's not really the question today. Today's question is about what are existential films and how do they affect us as filmgoers? What does it mean to have a film which discusses the nature of life and the meanings behind it? And do people...

Ep. 52 I Don't Give A Flick! - Movie Musicals
Singing, dancing, long run-times. All are staples of movie musicals. But what makes a film musical? And what makes them truly exceptional? And why do some of them sing everything while some of them have very limited musical scores? Why do I have so much treble writing a blurb for podcasts? Join...

Ep. 48 I Don't Give A Flick! - Hollywood Remakes
"If you don't take the chance, you'll never know what could have been." The quote by Brad Turnbull is apt for movie studios in the 2020s. So many of the films created are remakes or "soft" reboots of prior successes. Is this something which is good for the industry and allow new talented people…

Ep. 43 I Don't Give A Flick! - Critics Gonna Hate; Fans Think They're Great

Ep. 42 I Don't Give A Flick! - An Episode You Can't Refuse
As far back as this podcast goes, Jonny always wanted to do one on gangsters. Or, something like that. Mafia movies, gangster flicks, hood films, and cartel pictures are all some of the most recognizable staples of the cinema. Some of them have an antihero, like Michael Corleone; some of them an...

This Podcast is not yet rated... oh wait... it is as mature content. The MPAA has been the rating system for films for the last seven decades and has created a great deal of conversation about what makes films G, PG, PG-13, R, or NC-17. But, is this a necessary feature of life? And is it done in…
