  6. The Talkies - Beau Is Afraid

    We FINALLY get to see what Ari's 3rd film means for him as a filmmaker. We've been following Ari for a while and this is a make or break it moment.

    This is an Irish Coen Bros Movie. we're on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KarmanLineStudios

  8. The Talkies | The Holy Mountain

    😲 This was probably the most insane movie we've ever seen. We talk about themes, intent, analysis, absurdity, surrealism and practical effects/filmmaking.

  9. The Talkies | Everything Everywhere All At Once

    An insane amount of dedication, love, spirit, and fun shown on the screen. We talk about effects, intent, and dildos. we're on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KarmanLineStudios

  10. The Talkies | X

    X is a really well made dumb movie. We talk about cinematography, slasher films, and Hereditary. Check us out on YouTube for some reason.

  11. The Talkies | Men

    Men is a movie by a man. The same man that made other movies. Let's talk about it.

  12. The Talkies | The Batman

    Talking about Femme Fatale vs Cat Woman, detective stories, iconic directing and generic roles. What can we say about The Batman? This movie is a perfect display of this director handling this intellectual property. Sticking with Film Noir for some reason, we're talking about The Batman by Matt...

  13. The Talkies: Nightmare Alley

    So like, Guillermo Del Toro is a filmmaker. And he's pretty awesome. So let's talk about Nightmare Alley.

  14. The Talkies | Crimes of the Future

    Macaroni in the pot.

  15. The Talkies: Sorcerer

    This is one of those rare moments where a couple filmmakers are caught off guard by how insanely good movies can be.

  16. The Talkies | The French Dispatch

    Another Wes Anderson creation. How much of a movie is it? Well we didn't record some of the best conversation...so...uh...

  17. The Talkies | Spy Kids 3: Game Over

    You can't really call yourself a cinephile if you haven't seen Spy Kids 3: Game Over. That's why we have an extra guest with us today! Maddy, part of our filmmaking fam, is here to school you on classic cinema.

  18. The Talkies: Jaws

    D has never seen Jaws...and he calls himself a cinematographer...

  19. The Talkies: Spider-Man: No Way Home

    Spider man home is where the heart is.

  20. The Talkies: The Matrix Resurrections

    Welcome to The Talkies by Karman Line Studios! D is SUPER excited to talk about this movie. Taylor and Kenny await the inevitable. We're also on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6nt72R4GV41fObp6v_TeTw

  21. The Talkies Archives: The Shape of Water

    Welcome to our Talkies Archive. These episodes come from the first time we began the Talkies on Youtube in 2017. These ones have videos of our beautiful faces if you follow the YouTube link. Episode Name: The Shape of Water Original air Date: Jan. 18th 2018 Link to original episode:...

  22. The Talkies: The Matrix Revolutions

    In preparation for The Fourth Matrix movie, we're covering the first three on the Talkies. Today we can all agree that this movie is bad.

  23. The Talkies Archive: Bladerunner 2049

    Welcome to our Talkies archive. These episodes come from he first time we began the Talkies on Youtube in 2017. These ones have videos of our beautiful faces if you follow the YouTube link. Episode Name: Bladerunner 2049 Original air date: November 21st 2017 Link to original episode:...

  24. The Talkies: The Matrix Reloaded

    On our way to The fourth Matrix movie, we continue by talking about Matrix Reloaded. Kenny has seen it twice, Taylor three times, and D around 20 times. This might be a one-sided conversation... We talk about reception, plot structure, lore, motivation, and mindset

  25. The Talkies: Dune (2021)

    We finally get to talk about this movie! We've been waiting for so long to watch and review this thing. Denis hasn't let us down yet...will he this time? See our YouTube channel! (there's not video of us but there's a fun looping cinemagraph!): www.youtube.com/c/karmanlinestudios

  26. The Talkies: David Lynch's Dune (1984)

    So this episode was supposed to come out before Denis' version of Dune, but it didn't. So anyway, we talk about David Lynch's version of Dune...or some sort of version...it's a strange one...and not in a good way.

  27. The Talkies: The Matrix

    With the 4th Matrix movie on the horizons, we're beginning our breakdowns of the previous 3. Interesting generational gaps here...

  28. The Talkies: The Green Knight

    How long has it been? Too long. Listen as we talk about the plot, the source material, David Lowery, and sexual attraction to Disney characters.

  29. The Talkies: La Dolce Vita

    Today is Kenny's turn to pick a movie for us to deconstruct and analyze...although this movie doesn't really have much to deconstruct...so yeah.

  30. The Talkies: Zack Snyder's Justice League/The Snyder Cut

    We haven't seen a movie we all hate in while, so this was refreshing in a weird way. We talk about Zack Snyder, the older Justice League, character arcs, crowd sourcing movies, and a lot of other stuff.

  31. The Talkies: Mulholland Dr.

    Today, D breaks the rules and suggests a movie that he hasn't seen but Taylor and Kenny have. We discuss surrealism, emotional connection through cinema, and the fingerprint of film directors.

  32. The Talkies: Uncut Gems

    Kenny breaks the rules and chooses a movie that Taylor and D saw but he hasn't! We talk about detailed characters, filmmaking style, and recognition of greatness.

  33. The Talkies: Judas and The Black Messiah

    There was a new movie, so we watched it. We talk about directing choices, biopics, and Lakeith Stanfield.

  34. The Talkies: Enemy

    Today, D goes against the rules a bit and picks a movie that he and Taylor have seen but Kenny has not. This is a strange pizza.

  35. The Talkies: Strange Brew

    Today, Kenny picks a movie for us to watch. Strange Brew by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas is a bit of a departure from our usual kinds of movies but we still love talking about them. We talk about comedy filmmaking and internal movie logic.

  36. The Talkies: Stalker

    Today is Taylor's turn to pick our movie and he chose Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker. We talk about the cinematography, types of filmmaking, and parallels to Annihilation.

  37. The Talkies: Blue Velvet

    This was our first episode of "Someone picks a movie that the others haven't seen" and it was never released! (we lost the footage, but we found it, so all good now). Taylor brings David Lynch's Blue Velvet for show and tell.

  38. The Talkies: Memories of Murder

    D suggested that we watch Memories of Murder by Bong Joon-Ho. Listen to us gush for 34 min.

  39. The Talkies: I Am Not Your Negro

    Kenny's pick for D and Taylor to watch is I Am Not Your Negro, a documentary by Raoul Peck covering the various speeches of James Baldwin and comparing them to MLK and Malcom X.

  40. The Talkies: Mank

    We're ending our coen-quest run prematurely and instead, this week, we take a look at Mank, the first new movie we've seen in a while.

  41. The Talkies: The Big Lebowski

    Here we are again, ready to dive deep into what makes Lebowski such a legendary movie. We have a bit of an existential crisis too.

  42. The Talkies: Fargo

    Today, we continue our Coenquest with one of the most beloved movies of all time: Fargo. We talk about theme, characters, and screenwriting.

  43. The Talkies: The Hudsucker Proxy

    Continuing on our CoenQuest, we have The Hudsucker Proxy. We've come out weirdly split on this movie. Is this a sign of the Coens being human?

  44. The Talkies: Barton Fink

    Here we are with the our fourth Coen's bros film discussion: Barton Fink. We talk about all kinds of thematic elements, the surreal, and the Coen's omnipresent nihilism.

  45. The Talkies: Miller's Crossing

    Today on the Talkies, we have the epic continuation of Coencon...our deep dive into the Coen bros filmography....with gangster Movie: Miller's Crossing. The first Coen movie so far that we're actually a bit split on our opinions of the movie. There's some great discussion of how the Coens write…

    more

  46. The Talkies: Raising Arizona

    Today, we continue on to our second movie of the Coen Bros filmography: Raising Arizona. D hasn't seen it, Taylor's seen it once, and Kenny's seen it a hundred or so times. Seems like the Coen's like themselves some good writing.

  47. The Talkies: Blood Simple

    Hello Everybody, and welcome to COENCON! We just finished our run of Kubrick movies, now we're starting on the legendary Coen Brothers movies. This duo's movies have always been a part of our film discussions, and now we're taking a deep dive into their filmography and studying what makes these...

  48. The Talkies: Antebellum

    Antebellum is a brand new horror by directing duo Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz. What is this movie??? The trailer looked dope, so we watched it and talked about it. Lots of Spoilers. Keep updated at our Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KarmanLineStudios

  49. The Talkies: Tenet

    We never thought we were going to be able to watch this movie in a theater...and here we are! But here's a question we never thought we'd ask: Is Tenet good?

  50. The Talkies: Paths of Glory

    Well, here it is, our last Kubrick movie in our run of his filmography. To cap it off, we talk about the surprisingly old Paths of Glory and how Kubrick feels as a filmmaker considering the whole of what we've reviewed.
