At the Movies with William Fletcher

Episode 180: North by Northwest

On the flipside of covering Disney's live action remakes and Hollywood slop, we go back in time to 1959 to look at the seminal classic, North by Northwest.

Episode 179: Disney Live Action Remakes

We're covering another big collection of films this week with a look at Disney's recent history with the live action remake.

 

Apologies for some audio issues on my end. Everything will be back to normal in the next episode. 

Episode 178: Parasite

Time for another director's filmography retrospective where we look at the career of Bong Joon-ho with the main focus being on Parasite but with pitstops at his previous 6 films before looking forward to Mickey 17.

 

Note: this was delayed due to cyclone preparations that had to be made that took time away from editing. 

Episode 177: Oscars 2025

The show is back with the annual Oscars episode looking at this year's upcoming Oscars ceremony looking at the Best Picture nominees this year and the surrounding controversies, some of the other major categories and the coming year of film.

 

Note: this was recorded before the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Episode 176: Captain America

As we are one to do, we're delving into the MCU for the first of many times this year with a look at the Captain America trilogy with a bit of a state of the nation address of the current state of the MCU peppered throughout.

Episode 175: Pan's Labyrinth

There's nothing to tie into this week so let's just cover a film from Guillermo del Toro with Pan's Labyrinth. We also talk about his career, the weird customs of European film festivals and foreign-language cinema in general.

Episode 174: Star Trek

We're going back into the world of TV this week with a look at the world of Star Trek (primarily the Original Series and Next Generation). We also somehow get onto the topic of Doctor Who.

Episode 173: Review of the Year 2024: Part 2

We're back with the second and final part of the review of the year as we conclude with the second half of 2024.

Episode 172: Review of the Year 2024: Part 1

The show is back for another year and we're going through the first 6 months of 2024 to look back on what the podcast was looking forward to.

Episode 171: It's a Wonderful Life

Two episodes back to back? You're goddamn right as we do the show's annual Christmas special with It's a Wonderful Life. It starts off fairly normally but at some point, we get to a discussion of Ricky Gervais so it falls into a usual standard for this show.
