Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!!

The World Cinema series begins in Italy this week with a movie unlike any other. Join Morgan and Jeannine to discuss a pure, visual experience of an erratic, creative mind, and a movie wallowing in layers of clever self awareness as they talk Federico Fellini's indescribably fascinating 8 1/2 (1963) starring Marcello Mastroianni, Anouk Aimee, Claudia Cardinale, Sandra Milo & Barbara Steele!

They also take a little DejaView look at Rob Marshall's musical adaptation of this movie, Nine (2009) starring Daniel Day-Lewis!

Welcome back to Morgan Hasn't Seen with Jeannine Brice & Morgan Robinson!!

A new series blasts into our hearts as we head into May with Jeannine taking Morgan through a varied selection of movies starring one of the most singularly naturalistic actors in movie history, KEVIN COSTNER!

They begin their discussion this week as he protects Whitney Houston in one of the 1990s most beloved romance thrillers that spawned the staggeringly popular soundtrack album, THE BODYGUARD (1992)!

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!!

As the big cross show Cyborg Sci-Fi series comes to a close, Morgan and Jeannine bring DeJaView back to the main show this week as they discuss freedom of choice, 70s feminism, and how this story doesn't quite have a perfect adaptation yet in their conversation on THE STEPFORD WIVES (1975)!

With plenty of discussion on the source novel and the 2004 movie too, this was such an interesting episode to close the series with!

Welcome back to Morgan Hasn't Seen with Jeannine Brice & Morgan Robinson!!

To close out our all encompassing journey into cyborgs and sci-fi, Jeannine and Morgan are back in the world of Blade Runner after last week's monumental MHS episode, for a discussion on its much acclaimed legacy sequel, BLADE RUNNER 2049 (2017) starring Ryan Gosling, Ana De Armas and seeing Harrison Ford return as Deckard!

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!!

Moving into the nastier, more violent, and smaller scale world of early 70s Sci-Fi on this week's show as Morgan and Jeannine talk Michael Crichton's obsession with theme parks breaking down, the development of movie visual effects, and Yul Brynner's terminator-esque relentlessness in WESTWORLD (1973)!

Welcome back to Morgan Hasn't Seen with Jeannine Brice & Morgan Robinson!!

Morgan's biggest white whale has finally arrived on the show as Jeannine checks yet another, and the most significant movie off his bucket list, Ridley Scott's BLADE RUNNER (1982) starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer & Sean Young!

Guiding him through the many different versions, Replicant theories, and dreary, dismal, dystopian 2019 Los Angeles, how did Morgan take his first watch of one of the most beloved Sci-Fi movies in history?

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!!

Another phenomenally influential Sci-Fi movie of a totally different kind this week as space exploration, an alien planet, and the mysterious genius who lives there are the talk of the town as Morgan and Jeannine discuss the creative innovation of FORBIDDEN PLANET (1956)!

A visually gorgeous masterwork of special effects, and a precursor to a sci-fi formula Star Trek: The Original Series would come to perfect, this movie is anchored by a compelling central performance from Walter Pidgeon, a dashingly young Leslie Neilson, and Robby, the robot best friend we all need!

Welcome back to Morgan Hasn't Seen with Jeannine Brice & Morgan Robinson!!

Another huge movie to check off Morgan's Bucket List on this week's MHS as the Cyborg Sci-Fi series takes a strikingly violent, dystopian turn with Jeannine and Morgan talking Paul Verhoeven's eccentric, seminal slice of cyborg craziness: ROBOCOP (1987) starring Peter Weller, Nancy Allen & Kurtwood Smith!

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!!

We're allowing cyborgs, robots, and sci-fi to take over the main show as well as Morgan Hasn't Seen for the month of April as Morgan and Jeannine get into a small handful of stunningly influential Sci-Fi movies; beginning this week with perhaps the most significant, Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS (1927)!

A welcome return to Silent Movies on the show with the first true sci-fi epic and plenty of discussion on the importance of film restoration and preservation. Does the intimidation factor play a part when watching this for the first time?

Welcome back to Morgan Hasn't Seen with Jeannine Brice & Morgan Robinson!!

A very unique episode to kick off our cross-show series on Cyborg Sci-Fi Movies as Jeannine guides Morgan through his first ever Anime movie; one which is rather close to her heart: ARMITAGE III: POLY-MATRIX (1996), the movie taken from the four part limited series and starring the voices of Elizabeth Berkeley & Kiefer Sutherland!

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!!

Another shining light on one of Old Hollywood's greatest ladies on this week's show as Morgan and Jeannine discuss a particularly special film noir. One that wears its sexuality on its sleeve, sizzles in its own unspoken seediness and gives us one of movie history's greatest character introductions; GILDA (1946) starring the ever stunning but never more so Rita Hayworth alongside Glenn Ford & George Macready!

Welcome back to Morgan Hasn't Seen with Jeannine Brice & Morgan Robinson!!

Closing out this Ghost Movies series this week with a movie that glides silently through its dark hallways, fogs your mind with mystery and uses its period setting to emphasise the real creepiness of everything that's going on as Jeannine and Morgan talk THE OTHERS (2001) starring an incredible Nicole Kidman, Fionnula Flanagan & Christopher Eccleston!

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!!

An episode that will go down in Wonderful Podcast history this week as Morgan and Jeannine become enraptured by the emotion, beauty, sizzling romance, and spiritual character growth; resulting in a longer, deeper and hugely celebratory discussion on NOW, VOYAGER (1942)!

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!!

Wandering into the world of "women's pictures" for a short run starting on this week's main show as Joan Crawford takes centre stage for (*gulp*) the first time in the show's history as Morgan and Jeannine excitedly talk noirish melodrama and celebrate progressive psychoanalysis in Curtis Bernhardt's POSSESSED (1947) starring Crawford alongside a deplorable Van Heflin, Raymond Massey, and Geraldine Brooks!

Welcome back to Morgan Hasn't Seen with Jeannine Brice & Morgan Robinson!!

Closing out our recent run of movies important to Black Cinema History in rather hard-hitting fashion this week as Morgan and Jeannine discuss James Earl Jones' Oscar nominated performance as the first Black Heavyweight Boxing Champion in the embellished biopic tragedy THE GREAT WHITE HOPE (1970)!

A true "us against the world" story as we see confidence, resilience and love slowly broken down due to the hate of the world around him. It's a devastating movie, and a very important one!

The new series of Morgan Hasn't Seen kicks off with a third consecutive movie from Morgan's bucket list as Jeannine brings Ghost movies back to the show, starting with one of the 90s most beloved romances with Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore & Whoopi Goldberg in GHOST (1990)!

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!!

We always love coming back to Sidney Poitier on this show, and finally, this week, Morgan and Jeannine take a look at the movie that won him his Best Actor Oscar; LILIES OF THE FIELD (1963)!

Poitier acts as a wandering prophet, unknowingly answering the prayers of a group of nuns who want to build a chapel in the desert. What results is a warm-hearted, optimistic movie of community, togetherness and religious fulfilment that forced Morgan and Jeannine to wonder why this was the movie that won him the award above many other more intense, powerful roles and movies!

Welcome back to Morgan Hasn't Seen with Jeannine Brice & Morgan Robinson!!

Another of Morgan's Bucket List movies closes out the series this week as Jeannine and he discuss what relationships mean to society, great dystopian sci-fi, hypocrisy, and the importance of individuality in Yorgos Lanthimos' THE LOBSTER (2015) starring Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, Olivia Colman, Lea Seydoux, Ben Whishaw & John C. Reilly!

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!!

A bold, in-your-face, bleak and hugely significant inclusion into the late Film Noir cycle on this week's main show as Morgan and Jeannine discuss the charisma of grey characters, heists gone wrong, how Gloria Grahame is able to totally steal any movie, and racial tension in Robert Wise's ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW (1959) starring Harry Belafonte, Robert Ryan, Shelley Winters, Ed Begely & Gloria Grahame!

Mixing traditional Noir elements with a charming brash directness that would dominate independent US movies in the 60s, this movie is the only time you'll see a Black leading man in the classic Noir cycle, and is perhaps Belafonte's greatest role!

Welcome back to Morgan Hasn't Seen with Jeannine Brice & Morgan Robinson!!

The first inclusion of one of Morgan's "Bucket List" movies from the 250th episode special as Jeannine guides him through a magical aging process resulting in a thirty, flirty and thriving Jennifer Garner in 13 GOING ON 30 (2004) also starring Mark Ruffalo, Judy Greer & Andy Serkis!

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!!

Morgan and Jeannine back with another series of Black Movies on the show, beginning this week with the most famous, impactful and influential Blaxploitation movie of them all, Gordon Parks' SHAFT (1971) starring Richard Roundtree!

How it's taken 300 episodes and several other Blaxploitation movies before covering this one is beyond both of them. With it's Oscar winning title song and stunning Isaac Hayes soundtrack, polished grittiness and swaggering attitude, they discuss how and why this movie has such a legacy, making reference to the John Singleton sequel/remake from 2000 starring Samuel L. Jackson
