Episodes

73: Back to the Future with Special Guest Robb Lewis
Robb Lewis joins me to talk about Back to the Future! Topics include UK vs. US schools, anachronisms, nostalgia, and time travel plot holes.
-
72: Over the Garden Wall with Special Guest Allison Truj
Designer and editor Allison Truj joins me to talk about Over the Garden Wall, a quintessential Halloween miniseries. After an overview of the philosophical implications of the show, we delve into an episode-by-episode recap. Topics include Americana, MIyazaki, the Adventure Time dynasty, and our...
-
71: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens Trailer
n the middle of recording Garrulous, Kyle, Allison, and Brian paused to get instant reactions on the brand new Star Wars Episode VII trailer as it plays.
-
70: Creep
A unique found footage movie by Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass, Creep is pure tension and anxiety. It just came out on Netflix two weeks ago, so go help build the buzz that this dense 75-minute flick deserves.
-
69: The Babadook
I believe that The Babadook is one of the best horror movies of the past ten years. Topics include themes that are rare for a haunted house horror movie, creepy special effects, and a brief look into the production of the movie in order to preserve the child actor's sanity.
-
68: Tusk with Special Guest Charlie Nash
This week, I'm joined by Boston film critic Charlie Nash to discuss Tusk, one of the most polarizing movies released this year. Hot topics include Kevin Smith's evolution as a director, the movie's ridiculous podcast-based beginnings, the Boston midnight movie scene, and a few other bizarre...
-
67: Lucy with Special Guest Andrew J. Clark
This week, I'm joined by the Internet's favorite Aussie, Andrew J. Clark. We talk about Lucy, a gorgeous sic-fi film that bites off a little more than it can chew when it comes to its science-based plot. Hot topics include the film's over-the-top style, if Lucy is really much of a character, and...
-
66: Jumanji
I wax poetic on a movie from my childhood that I was obsessed with. 1995's Jumanji starring the late great Robin Williams has a great way of managing the wackiness of the board game that drives the plot while still being a heartfelt, well-paced movie. Or at least, that's how I remember it.
-
65: Hook
Continuing yesterday's theme, today's Robin Williams movie is Hook. It's campy, it's fun, and it's emotional as all get out, but it's pretty poorly made. I think its positives far outweigh its negatives, but that may just be a generational thing.
-
64: Dead Poets Society
In honor of Robin Williams, I'm spending this week talking about my favorites in his catalogue. To kick it off is 1989's Dead Poets Society. This is a largely uncut episode, which means its long and rambly. I promise to keep it together better on later shows this week.
-
63: Guardians of the Galaxy with Special Guest Jeff Ruberg
The first of in a series of weekly episodes where I talk about a current movie with a guest! Jeff Ruberg joins me to talk about James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy. Topics include speculation about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, heavy-handed friendship, and the morning routines of super…

62: Koyaanisqatsi
As I edit the first episode of ADR Weekly, here's a quick recommendation for a beautiful, artsy project from 1982. Koyaanisqatsi is a rich visual poem about mankind's place in the world. Come for the novelty, stay for revelations.
-
61: Breathless
The poster child for French New Wave cinema really shouldn't be Breathless by Jean-Luc Goddard, but it's still a fascinating cultural artifact. Hot topics include the production of the movie (that's actually more interesting than the movie itself), French bastardization of American culture, and…
more -
60: Tape
Richard Linklater's 2001 film Tape was filmed on a consumer level camcorder, even though he had the budget and clout to make it with much more sophisticated and enjoyable means. Why would he decide to film Tape on tape?
-
59: Gummo
Kicking off a series of episodes on lo-fi movies is a movie unlike anything else I've ever seen. Harmony Korine's 1997 film Gummo is bizarre, horrifying, funny, and oddly moving. Hot topics include the idea of a single filmmaker's strange vision, scripted versus improvised scenes, and the reasons...
-
58: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Part 2)
I give a more in-depth analysis of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, as opposed to the existential diatribe that last week's episode was.
-
57: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Part 1)
How long can I talk about a movie without actually talking about the movie? In the spirit of Tom Stoppard's 1990 film Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, I ramble on for ten minutes about the nature of plays, what it means to experience something live, and a few things about the meaning of…
more -
56: Les Miserables
The next stage-to-screen adaptation this week is 2012's Les Miserables, which has an interesting philosophy towards its theatrical roots. It constrains a massive operatic production into a series of muttered songs and extreme close-ups.
-
55: Glengarry Glen Ross
Today, Glengarry Glen Ross kicks off a week full of movies based on plays. The 1992 movie takes an incredible cast and a legendary screenplay and manages to put it onscreen in a way that can never be done again.
-
54: Found Footage
It's a long one today! I talk about the best and worst examples of found footage horror movies. Topics include studio hype machines, luck versus dedication, and whether or not people really buy into these movies.
-
53: Grand Budapest, Take 3
In the most bizarre form of Stockholm Syndrome ever, I rewatched Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel and have more reasons why I don't like it. Shocking. Topics include the incredible appeal of the movie overseas, Anderson's personal wounds, and how quirk can get in the way of character.
-
52: In Bruges
2008 brought one of the most bizarre yet affecting movies I've ever seen, Martin McDonach's In Bruges. I talk about how it manages to make lots of different styles and moods work together and try to navigate spoiler-filled waters to entice those who haven't seen the movie yet.
-
51: Garden State
After a long hiatus, ADR is back with a look at Zach Braff's film Garden State, which resonates with me a lot. Topics include the idea of home, the film's abrupt ending, and Manic Pixie Dream Girls.
-
Special: Star Wars
For the first weekly ADR Podcast, I take a look at the original (or rather, real) trilogy of Star Wars films. Topics: Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Star Wars Episode IV: Return of the Jedi Documentary update
-
50: The Perks of Being A Wallflower
A week full of coming-of-age films comes to a close with 2012's The Perks of Being A Wallflower based on the 1999 book of the same name.
-
49: Rushmore
Another great coming-of-age film is Wes Anderson's Rushmore, starring Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray.
-
48: The Way Way Back
One of last summer's big teen movies, The Way Way Back is all about overcoming obstacles and becoming a real person. I finally got to see this a few nights ago. I apologize for the crappy sound quality today, I'm not entirely sure why it's as choppy as it is.
-
47: The 400 Blows
Francois Truffaut's first film is in the spotlight today!
-
46: Foodfight!
Foodfight! is one of the worst things I've ever seen. Ever. I go a little overboard ranting about how much this movie sucks. Special thanks to Asidus for his fantastic theme music!
-
45: Game of Thrones, S4E3
A spoiler-filled discussion of last night's Game of Thrones episode with my first ever guest, Neetha Nathan!

-

-
28: The Next Seven Days
My life is about to become insane as I take the helm of three different short films this week. This episode is so much shorter because of Garageband issues.
-
27: The Grand Budapest Hotel
I'm disappointed by Wes Anderson's new film, The Grand Budapest Hotel.

-
