A Cinepunx podcast
On a returning HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we are stepping back behind the camera to look at a film directed by the man himself: 2005’s LONESOME JIM. Written by Jim Strouse and starring Casey Affleck as a depressed, failed novelist who returns to his Indiana hometown and connects with a local nurse (played by Liv Tyler), LONESOME JIM got a bit lost in the cavalcade of sad-sack dude movies in the mid 2000s, but is it worthy of discovery? Let’s find out.
On this episode of the podcast, Julie and Nick take a look back at the recently-concluded Chattanooga Film Festival, looking at Big City Pizza, Jump Scare, Blood & Guts, The King of Black Goo, Dead Media, and Frankie, Maniac Woman, among many others, while exhorting you to join CFF’s Patreon, The Double Secret Cinema Society, to keep the fun going all year round. Plus, the pair discuss trailers galore for The Last House, Slashercise, Big Baby, and more (all of which you can check out in the show notes). All this and Julie and Nick share their favorite things to blow up on the Fourth of July.

On this bonus episode of the Carnage Report, with Chattanooga Film Fest taking place in-person June 18-21 and online June 19-27, we’ve pushed back our next episode on the fest until after it’s done to make sure we see as many things as we possibly can. However, in the interim, we wanted to share a couple of interviews with folks behind films playing as part of the festival.
First up is an interview with director Harry Sherriff and co-writer Laurence Tratalos about their feature, Misper, wherein the employees of a dying seaside hotel have their lives upended when their colleague vanishes.
Following that, we spoke with director Curtis Matzke ahead of the world premiere of his documentary, First Feature, which tells the story of intrepid student filmmaker Thomas Reilly-King (affectionately known as TRK), who will do anything to complete his first feature film, aptly titled Enduring Destiny.
Take a listen and enjoy! We’ll be back in a couple of weeks with our full Chattanooga Film Fest rundown.
Let the spinning of the wheel begin! Welcome to episode 1 of GHOUL ROULETTE!
On this episode of the podcast, Julie and Nick take a look at two episodes from the classic horror anthology series, Tales from the Crypt, now streaming for the first time via Shudder. Plus, the pair discuss trailers galore for Onslaught, Hold the Fort, I Am Frankelda, and more (all of which you can check out in the show notes) and take some time in the Remake/Reboot Corner. All this and Julie and Nick share exactly how inappropriate their youthful viewing habits were, while finally digressing wildly to discuss “fancy” movie theaters and Ariana Grande’s latest music video.
Our chronological journey through the filmography of Carol Kane enters the 1990s! On this episode of PRAISING KANE (the world’s finest chronological Carol Kane-themed podcast) we’re diving into Franco Amurri’s buddy-comedy/action-thriller crossover Flashback (1990). Starring Kiefer Sutherland as a buttoned-down, straight-laced FBI agent tasked with escorting a legendary, Abbie Hoffmanesque hippie played by Dennis Hopper. Featuring a great supporting cast including Paul Dooley, Michael McKean, Cliff DeYoung, and — of course — our beloved Carol Kane. How does this odd-couple road trip hold up, and how much does Carol steal the show? LISTEN and FIND OUT!
We’re BACK! And better than ever! On this PACKED episode of GEORGE KENNEDY IS MY COPILOT we’re doubling up once again, starting with a look at the first half of George Kennedy’s second mystery novel MURDER ON HIGH where once again George has to help his buddy Mike Corby solve a mystery.. but this time it’s while they are on a freakin’ AIRPLANE! Exciting stuff! Then we check out the 1970 revisionist western DIRTY DINGUS MAGEE featuring Frank Sinatra as the titular antihero outlaw. It’s certainly something. And of course George Kennedy plays the hapless sheriff on Magee’s tail. Check it ALL out right now!
