Episode 1: Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (Murnau, 1927)
Annnnnd we're back! For the pilot episode of our new podcast, we've chosen a film that reflects our new title. Sunrise, released in 1927, was one of German Expressionist filmmaker F.W. Murnau's first and only films produced in the US. It's a simple love story told as a cinematic poem and a silent film masterpiece. This week, we have the usual suspects discussing Expressionism, silent cinema, and a whole host of other topics as we get derailed more than once. Enjoy!

Ep10: William Friedkin: Two Sleeper Hits and the End of New Hollywood
This week we're going back a few decades to check out some under appreciated films from a very important era in Hollywood's history. Sorcerer (1977) was a box office bomb after releasing a week after Star Wars, but is widely considered among the director's best and has been gaining a new (and very deserved) following. Cruising (1980) was released under a mire of controversy for dealing with some... tricky subject matter for the time while also creating a unique, eery atmosphere and starring a very subdued young Al Pacino.
Both films are available to rent on Apple TV and Amazon.
Next week we're talking about the classic One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), coinciding with the recent release of Ratched. Both are available on Netflix.

Next week we're revisiting a rare Lynch bomb and a documentary on a mystical film that was never made. Dune (1984) is on HBO Max and available to rent on Amazon Video; Jodorowsky's Dune is available on Amazon Video and IMDBtv.
