This week, we are joined by author of Late Style in Film, Collin Brinkmann, to discuss yet another Bogdanovich legacy sequel: To Sir With Love II. Thirty years after Sidney Poitier’s defining role as “Sir” (Mark Thackeray) in the 1967 British smash hit To Sir, With Love, the powers of the...

Fallen Angels 'A Dime a Dance' (1995)
It’s 1995: Peter Bogdanovich is back on Showtime and better than ever! This week, we cover Peter’s first real noir output: an episode of the anthology series Fallen Angels.

-
Picture Windows 'Song of Songs' (1995)
We were lucky enough to record in-person again, this time to talk about Bogdanovich’s episode of the 1995 Showtime anthology series Picture Windows. You’ve never heard of it? To be fair, most people haven’t. They brought in filmmakers such as John Boorman, Bob Rafelson, Joe Dante, and more to...
-
'Never Say Goodbye' by Yoko Ono (1995)
In a team-up we never expected, this week we are covering “Never Say Goodbye,” a 1982 Yoko Ono song that Peter Bogdanovich directed a music video for… in 1995. Would it shock you to hear that Peter put his regulars of Eric Stoltz and L.B. Stratten in this? This music video also features (as far…

The Thing Called Love (1993) w/ Isaac Owens
This week we’re joined by special guest Isaac Owens as we follow Peter all the way down to the Deep South and meet our new pals Miranda, James, Kyle, and Linda Lue Linden in The Thing Called Love. A major box office disappointment of its year, we’re here to once again reappraise a misunderstood...
-
Noises Off (1992) w/ Jane Altoids
After the box office flop of Texasville, Peter returns to cinema with an adaptation of a British farce. Would you be shocked to hear that while also flopping at the box office, we think this movie is quite good! We are joined this week by podcaster, critic, and Film Twitter™ darling Jane Altoids…
more -
Texasville (1990) w/ Kyle Amato
It’s a new decade for Peter Bogdanovich and for him that means returning to familiar territory. This week we are joined by Boston Hassle film critic and Hawke Cast cohost Kyle Amato to talk about 1990’s Texasville, the sequel to The Last Picture Show that nobody really asked for (but we quite...
-
BONUS: The City Girl (1984) + An '80s Roundup w/ Alex Kittle
After a string of unique releases (and an unexpected relief special we found) this week we’re wrapping up Peter’s 1980s! Much like the 1970s, Peter had a number of unrealized projects in this tumultuous decade (imagine Bog’s Popeye!) and also had his first executive producer credit with Moon...
-
Friend to Friend (1989)
In a 🚨🚨Special Alert 🚨🚨 episode, we are talking about Peter Bogdanovich’s Armenian Earthquake Relief special, Friend to Friend! After months of relentless searching and investigating, Jonah discovered that TWO copies of this Bogdanovich oddity (Bogoddity, some might say) live at the Armenian...
-
Illegally Yours (1988)
We knew there would be some low points in Bogdanovich’s filmography but.. Whew. Talk about a new low! Wait… maybe a Rob Lowe! That’s right, this week we are talking about absolutely nobody’s favorite Bogdanovich picture: Illegally Yours! A movie we watched and somehow found enough to talk about…
more -
Mask (1985) w/ Billy Thegenus
This week, we discuss everyone’s favorite ‘80s classic about a boy and his mother, first loves, fighting back against bullies, a close-knit community, and life and death in sunny California. What’s that, Back to the Future? No, this one actually does end up starring Eric Stoltz, it’s Peter...
-
BONUS: Star 80 (1983) w/ Chris Woodward
This week, we take a turn from Bogdanovich and check in on his cinematic analogs with Bob Fosse’s final film, Star 80. Fosse takes on Dorothy Stratten’s rise to stardom, meeting and falling in love with Bogdanovich (or, according to the film, “Aram Nicholas”), and the tragic murder at the hands…
more -
They All Laughed (1981) w/ Drusilla Adeline
They all laughed… and so did we! We also cried, just a bit. This week, we finally hit a new decade for Bogdanovich as we explore his 1981 misunderstood masterpiece, They All Laughed. And to do this we’re joined by graphic designer, poster artist, and co-host of the arthouse horror podcast...
-
BONUS: Hooper (1978) + A '70s Roundup
Before there was Tom Cruise, before there was Cliff Booth, even before there were just a few small beers, there was HOOPER! For our 1970s Bogdanovich wrapup, we chose a movie starring two-time colleague of Bogdanovich, Burt Reynolds, and directed by legendary stuntman Hal Needham: Hooper. The…
more -
Saint Jack (1979) w/ Conor Battles
Produced by Hugh Hefner and Roger Corman, lensed by Robby Müller, starring Ben Gazzara as an American pimp abroad in Singapore, and directed by Peter Bogdanovich after a multi-year filmmaking break, we’re closing out the decade with none other than Saint Jack (1979)! We are joined by special…
more -
Nickelodeon (1976) w/ Aine Geraghty
Arguably nobody loved classic Hollywood movies more than Peter Bogdanovich, and he tried to channel that love into a film about a ragtag gang of moviemakers in the early age of cinema: Nickelodeon. After back-to-back flops, Bogdanovich ended up back with Burt Reynolds, Tatum O’Neal, Ryan O’Neal;...
-
At Long Last Love (1975)
And for a movie absolutely nobody was clamoring for, it’s Peter Bogdanovich’s original Cole Porter-suggested musical, At Long Last Love! In possibly the most 1970s cast of all time, Cybill Shepherd, Burt Reynolds, Madeline Kahn, and Duilio Del Prete in a menage-a-quatre with supporting…
more -
Daisy Miller (1974)
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… Daisy Miller? This week we talk society (we love society, but there’s not enough of it in Europe), Peter & Cybill, and the Roman fever, all thanks to the 1870s it girl Daisy Miller. Bogdanovich undertook the first (and only cinematic) adaptation of Daisy Miller at...
-
Paper Moon (1973)
There are many cinematic masterpieces, but only one in which Randy Quaid and Ryan O’Neal start wrasslin’. This week, we are talking about the 1973 hit film Paper Moon! Following up his love letter to screwball comedies, Bogdanovich takes us to the Midwest in the height of the Great Depression,...
-
What's Up, Doc? (1972) w/ Erik Svensson
Screwball comedies, remember them? We hope so, because it's sort of integral to our discussion of Bogdanovich’s hit 1972 screwball comedy What’s Up, Doc? After the black and white cinematography and heavy mood of The Last Picture Show, Pete wanted to make a very bright and light comedy in the…
more -
The Last Picture Show (1971) w/ Brooke Forrest
No pressure at all for this one! We start Bogdanovich’s 1970s with one of the most important films in New Hollywood (and cinema at large): The Last Picture Show! Not only a seminal film for its frank sexuality, black and white cinematography, and breakout performances, but also its incredibly…
more -
BONUS: Duck, You Sucker! (1971)
An episode that functions as both an exploration of unrealized Bogdanovich directorial efforts and an excuse to record our very first in person episode! We dive into Sergio Leone’s underrated movie, also known as A Fistful of Dynamite, which Bogdanovich was originally slated to direct.…

Directed by John Ford (1971)
A documentary that required mandatory blindspot watches and made us into unexpected John Ford guys. What can we say, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance gets to us all! In the first Bogdanodoc, he used his journalistic know-how and nerdy love for film scholarship to convince the AFI to make a John...
-
Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women (1968) w/ Josephine Allegretti
Wait, this is a Peter Bogdanovich movie? Kinda! Another assignment by Roger Corman, this time Peter Bogdanovich was tasked with putting 10 minutes of beautiful blonde mermaids into a dubbed Russian sci-fi film, and that's how we ended up with director “Derek Thomas” and his film(?) Voyage to the...
-
Targets (1968)
Finally, a real Peter Bogdanovich picture! This episode covers Bogdanovich’s directorial debut, Targets. Roger Corman gave his former assistant about $120k, along with directions to use 20 minutes of footage from The Terror, make 20 new minutes with Boris Karloff, and make 40 new minutes without...
-
BONUS: The Terror (1963)
The Terror is a 1963 Roger Corman film. And a Francis Ford Coppola film. And a Monte Hellman film. And a Dennis Jakob film. And a Jack Hill film. And maybe a Jack Nicholson film. There’s a lot going on in this one. Why are we discussing The Terror? Well this grab-bag Poe riff is important to...
-
The Wild Angels (1966)
In our first full episode, we discuss a totally normal film: The Wild Angels, a 1966 Roger Corman motorcycle exploitation flick starring Henry Fonda, Nancy Sinatra, Bruce Dern, and Diane Ladd. The Wild Angels follows a fictionalized version of the Hell’s Angels biker gang in Southern California…
