By: Ryan Luis Rodriguez

Audio commentaries are the embryonic form of podcasting, and this show looks at the art of filmmaking through the greatest of these tracks. From comedy to drama, live-action to animation, good and bad, we run the gamut of cinema in a lighthearted, hopefully enlightening fashion. It’s the only commentary-centric show that matters because it’s the only one that exists. (As far as we know.) 

#044: First Man with JD Duran
#54
Last Tuesday at 1:00 PM

For our forty-fourth episode, we’re joined by JD Duran (InSession Film) for a discussion of Damien Chazelle’s audio commentary for his greatest film, 2018’s Neil Armstrong kinda-biopic “First Man”. Hope you like the moon, because most of the episode concerns the epic Apollo 11 IMAX sequence.

Ryan’s Recommendations: “For All Mankind” (1989), “Eraserhead” (1977), “Wild at Heart” (1990), and “Lost Highway” (1997)

04/02/2024

For our forty-third episode, we’re joined by Nick Emel (“10ish” podcast) for a discussion of Rian Johnson’s audio commentary for his stunningly original 2012 science-fiction masterpiece “Looper”. Green milk and J.J. Abrams’ fondness for lens flares may make up a great deal of the episode.

Ryan’s Recommendations: “Brick” (2005), “Star Wars: Episode VIII—The Last Jedi” (2017), and “Knives Out” (2019)

#51
03/19/2024

For our forty-second episode, we’re joined by friend of the podcast Nicki, host of Trivial Theater on YouTube, for a discussion of the commentary track for the platonic ideal of an instant cult movie, 1984’s “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension”. It’s one of the most genuinely original films ever made and we raise the most compelling question: what’s that watermelon doing there?

Ryan’s Recommendations: “Night on Earth” (1991), “Dead Man” (1995), and “Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai” (1999)
