Each month we take one classic from the Film Bro canon, discuss it and then suggest 3 films that are related that will give you a deeper dive into the world of cinema.
Cody and Peter watch the 2008 Australian horror, Lake Mungo. (https://letterboxd.com/film/lake-mungo/) It's a brooding, melancholic ghost story with one good jump scare.

Wessing Too Close to the Sun (The French Dispatch)
Jamie G. joins us to dissect Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch (https://letterboxd.com/film/the-french-dispatch/).

We went with The French Dispatch to round out our Pulp Fiction month because it brings the opposite energy to an anthology film.

"This Guy's an Incel" (Shoot the Piano Player)
Seth Halley joins to talk about the French New Wave meeting American Crime in Francois Truffaut's Shoot the Piano Player ("Tirez sur le pianiste").

You can feel the French New Wave's influence on Tarantino, especially in the naturalistic and seemingly banal dialogue that adds texture to the film. I found this piece from Images (http://www.imagesjournal.com/issue03/features/tarantino2.htm) helpful in framing my thoughts about the relationship between Shoot and Pulp Fiction.

"Sam Raimi is My Jesus" (Black Sabbath)
Special guest, filmmaker and local theater staffer Freddy Ruiz is on to discuss Black Sabbath ("I tre volti della paura") (https://letterboxd.com/film/black-sabbath/).
Watch Freddy's horror short, The Killbilly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XGQBaeBitE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XGQBaeBitE)
Black Sabbath inspired the triptych structure of Pulp Fiction. Tarantino is quoted in Far Out magazine (https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-curious-connection-between-black-sabbath-and-quentin-tarantino/) saying, "What Mario Bava did with the horror film in Black Sabbath, I was gonna do with the crime film.”
On our next episode, we're watching Shoot the Piano Player ("Tirez sur le pianiste") directed by Francois Truffaut (https://letterboxd.com/film/shoot-the-piano-player/), a French New Wave film in conversation with American crime films and novels.
