EPISODE #24: Solaris ('72 vs. '02)

Topics of discussion include the way themes are expressed in genre, space, DVD commentaries and how the same material can yield different results in the hands of different artists.

EPISODE #13: Inherent Vice (with Garrett Brodey)

EPISODE #13: Inherent Vice (with Garrett Brodey)

Beware the golden fang.

Joined by the hard-boiled and charming Garrett Brodey, Jack & Chandler wander off into the mystic southern Californian haze of INHERENT VICE. Topics of discussion include the filmography of Paul Thomas Anderson, film noir tropes, what makes a great ensemble piece and the end of an era. Does it all make sense? Who knows? But, there is a small digression devoted entirely to geeking out over Radiohead if you're into that sort of thing.

EPISODE #10: Vanilla Sky

EPISODE #10: Vanilla Sky

Jack and Chandler talk about the cinematic equivalent to Radiohead's OK Computer, VANILLA SKY. Topics include our general thoughts on Tom Cruise/Cameron Crowe, how popular music is used in film and how badass James Gunn's THE SUICIDE SQUAD will probably be. Oh and there's a tangent about SOUTHLAND TALES...the movie we were originally going to cover but didn't...because it sucks. But, VANILLA SKY doesn't. You gotta listen to find out why.

EPISODE #08: Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas

EPISODE #08: Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas

This time around, Jack and Chandler take a heady trip down to Sin City to discuss FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. Does the film itself still hold up? How does it handle as an adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's writing? Will the audio keep dipping out at random intervals and succumb to obnoxious Discord notifications? All of that and more will be answered in this episode of Warped Celluloid. Buy the ticket, ride the ride!

EPISODE #05: Zardoz

EPISODE #05: Zardoz

This week, Jack and Chandler dive deep into ZARDOZ (the strangest film they've talked about so far). A head trip of 1970s science fiction that's semi-notorious in the more memetic circles of popular culture. Did we mention a pistol-wielding Sean Connery runs around in a red mankini for the entire runtime? Or what about the bizarre hall of mirrors only known as "The Tabernacle"? Will wonders ever cease? Stay tuned to find out.

Yes, the much belated fourth episode of the best far-out film podcast has arrived and it's a first in many regards. Our first discussion about the work of David Lynch, our first guest episode and our first time talking about creative endeavors outside of the show. Tune in, folks! This is gonna be a wild one and be warned! Things will get a little NSFW.

EPISODE #02: Wizards

This week, Jack and Chandler dive head first into the work of Ralph Bakshi with his 1977 psychedelic fantasy oddity, WIZARDS...in between tangents about comic books and the current state of adult animation...maybe. We make no promises here at Warped Celluloid. Stay tuned!
