-
Repertory Screenings 109: The Verdict
We’re back with this famous story of a bad lawyer made good that kind of splits the Repertory Screenings cast. Though not really. Because we all kind of agree, but it’s mostly a matter of degree. But I would call this the rare bad(ish) Repertory Screenings movie, and it gives us plenty to talk...
-
Repertory Screenings 108: High and Low
Well, we certainly didn’t mean to take that much time off between episodes! We’re finally back with our promised Kurosawa classic, and a bunch of other movies besides as we get back to the cinema (metaphorically) to watch some damn films!

-
Repertory Screenings 104: Don't Look Now
Sometimes you watch one of those movies where a bunch of disparate things fall into place and you realize some of your favorite directors definitely watched this movie and lost their minds about it. Don’t Look Now is definitely one such movie! We enjoy the foggy streets of Venice, Donald...
-
Repertory Screenings 103: Deep Cover
We head to the world of mood lighting, stupid cops, and the poetry of a life of crime as we all enjoy the rhythms and aesthetics of Deep Cover! This one’s a pretty silly movie, but I mean that in the kindest way possible. Truly the early 90s could just get away with a corny earnestness in genre...
-
Repertory Screenings 102: Rome, Open City
One of the stone cold classics of cinema this week as we all watch our first Rossellini movie together and come away deeply impressed. Sometimes a movie is just a classic for a reason! Check out our letterboxd list if you’d like to see all the movies covered that way! Send us any email questions...

One of the greatest films ever made this week on Repertory Screenings, and also we have some other movies to talk about on top of that. Also, note, we do talk about Close-Up Long Shot, the 1996 documentary which follows up with Sabzian after the movie. Highly recommended you seek that out before...

-
Special Network Update Minisode
The strike is over! After what seems like a lifetime, the 2023 writers strike came to an end and with it the request podcasts not do promotional work. Which means we can get back to talking about movies! We’re really excited, but also it’s been a tough year, so we decided to make one short…

-
Repertory Screenings 91: My Beautiful Laundrette
Not much in the way of movies this week but Destiny saw the new Wes Anderson and Em gets way in the weeds on feeling a bit discontent with this week’s very solid and historically beloved movie, so we manage to fill the time just fine anyway! Thanks for listening! Check out our letterboxd list if...
-
Repertory Screenings 90: The Children's Hour
We start a sort of haphazardly thrown together mini series of Pride movies as we watch a sad melodrama that is most upsetting in how topical it all feels almost 100 years after the original play was written. We have a great time talking about a bummer, please join us! Check out our letterboxd…

-
