37.3 Barton Fink | The AmeriCANNES Trilogy

Ep. 132

The most cryptic and dreamlike film by the Coen's by a country mile (for old men). It's Barton Fink! The boys are feeling jolly to be talking about the Coens, but they were also jolly about the return of Christina Costigan who brings her expertise (and some wine) to this weeks episode.


Enjoy!

  • 130. 37.1 | Sex, Lies and Videotape | The AmeriCANNES Trilogy

    01:03:39||Ep. 130
    The pod-brothers are back, and this time they’re heading to the sweaty, complicated world of Baton Rouge for the first instalment of the AmeriCANNES Trilogy! This week Matt and Tyrie dive into Steven Soderbergh’s landmark debut Sex, Lies, and Videotape, released August 4, 1989 — a film about marriage, infidelity, intimacy, and one very strange man with a camcorder.The boys discuss Soderbergh’s meteoric rise, the film’s commentary about sex, and why sometimes talking about sex can be considerably more uncomfortable than actually watching it. Along the way, they unpack the tangled relationships between Ann, John, Cynthia and Graham, the film’s voyeuristic obsession with honesty, and its enormous influence on American independent cinema.Follow us at @tripod_showGet in touch at mattandtyrie@gmail.comArtwork by Jack Mierswww.jackmiers.com@jackmiers@jackandjosh
