Naked Crusaders Productions presents the latest edition of the world famous Swing Gang podcast. It had some big news and interesting brain seepage that started with the PREPOD discussion that compared the early thrillers from Alfred Hitchcock such as 'Psycho' to the works of modern thriller Director David Fincher such as his film 'SE7EN'.
Some of the leading news stories talked about included bio-pics, and Facebook.
Warner Bros to rent 5 more movies on Facebook and one of the stories that we did not get to cover involved an Egyptian film that turns out to be much more prescient that expected A timely portrait of sexual harassment in Egypt.
In the segment 'By the Book', films taken from books took the forefront as the group talked about their favorite and most hated adaptations. 'The Great Gatsby', 'Congo', '2001: A Space Odyssey', and 'To Kill a Mockingbird' were some of the films mentioned.
Favorite DVD extras were picked apart in the segment 'B-Sides'. Kevin Smith, Sam Raimi and J.J. Abrams made the short list.
13 Assassins, The Bang Bang Club, American: The Bill Hicks Story were mentioned as upcoming must see movies. Enjoy the show!
All the films mentioned, well the majority, Ive seen. Good discussion. One question came to mind though, What or how do you all come to the conclusion or decide to discuss on these particular ones? Is there a theme or point of interest, a connection between directors,etc etc?
ReplyDeleteThanks first for listening. As far as an answer to your perceptive question, it depends on where they were mentioned in our discussion. I am the one typically hosting and have usually prepared a breakdown for the others on the roundtable. When I do that I try to have a theme to whatever we discuss. It is not always the case however. Now when it comes to our regular segment, "Sucks Balls/Worth a Shot" the films we discuss are usually recent but are based solely on the person who brings them up. Thanks again for listening!
