Episode 12: It's the Pictures That Got Small
This episode, my last episode, we wrap up the series with a few of the Music Box’s world-famous weeks of programming: the 70mm Festival and the Christmas Double Feature & Alternative Xmas series, all a testament to the lasting power of celluloid, and to the filmmakers who still shoot on film and then send their work straight to Southport. I also take a dive into the film that takes me full-circle to the Music Box, the first I ever saw here – 2001: A Space Odyssey, the gem of their 70mm crown. I talk with Organ Maestro Extraordinaire Dennis Scott, Assistant Technical Director & Programmer Rebecca Lyon, General Manager Ryan Oestreich, film projectionist & historian Tim O'Neill, and my friend Nick Currie for this supersized final episode.

Episode 11: Difficult Films
I’ve long felt the Music Box is the premier environment for films that are harrowing, challenging, gross, abstract, or just plain lengthy - you’ve bought your ticket and there’s an audience with a shared stubbornness to see it through. This episode is dedicated to Difficult Films, movies I personally felt exhausted by, that poked and prodded me into submission, including a look at the auteurs oft endured: Lars Von Trier, Catherine Breillat, Claire Denis, and Gaspar Noé; as well as a look at the Music Box’s new “Who Gives an F” series. I speak with Ryan Oestreich and Rebecca Lyon from the Music Box, as well as Tim O’Neill and my friend James Conley, who I cajoled into rewatching that notorious centerpiece of Difficult Films with me: Irréversible.

Episode 10: ArtFlop Era
On this episode, we enter our ArtFlop Era. I speak again with my friends Michael Elias and Nick Currie about the newest iteration of our film club: ArtFlop, a series dedicated to visiting movies that reached for the moon but were not a financial or critical hit at the time, from BOOM! to CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC, from POPEYE to THE PAPERBOY. I also dedicate some space to my personal patron saints of ArtFlop & two of my all-time favorite maverick filmmakers: the Wachowski Sisters.
