Let's Talk Tech
A little film noir action this week! Award winning host Kristyn Burtt joins us to talk about one of her all time favorite films. A desperate mother. A seedy business man. Death. Intrigue. Incredible black and white cinematography. The role which won Joan Crawford an Academy Award. ‘Mildred Pierce’ has got it all!

One of Lee’s first experiences with independent, low budget films. Notable as he’s since met most of the people that have worked on this film. A charming look at Asian American students flirting with their darker natures.

Movies You May Have Missed was a film review podcast produced by Lee Buckley, Juan, and Marie Bagnell starting back in 2009. We focused on reviews of films we enjoyed, but which didn’t get the attention they deserved. Each episode was a spoiler free love letter to a piece of cinema. The podcast ran for three straight years, producing over 150 episodes, and at its peak was downloaded over 3 million times per month.
One of Juan’s all time favorite films, and of course to Lee’s chagrin, it’s in black and white. Strap in for a Twilight Zone-like story of tension and paranoia, featuring an incredible cast, from a fantastic director.

In 2009, three friends produced a movie review webseries called Movies You May Have Missed. It ran successfully for three years, but we were never able to host it on Youtube or monetize it.
We’re hoping VidMe can be a new home for this show. Is it possible to resurrect a long defunct webseries? That’s my experiment.

“It’s summer. It’s hot.”
This phrase is still uttered on the regular between Lee, Marie, and Juan, even eight years after originally reviewing this film.
A moving, personal, drama peeling back the layers of success, and examining whether we ever really can go home again.

Adapting a Vonnegut novel for the big screen is an ambitious undertaking. Mother Night examines Nazi Germany through a radio broadcaster’s life while twisting our brains up by messing with time. Interesting premise, fantastic production design, and a phenomenal cast, it’s a shame more people haven’t seen it…

Our first animated feature, this was one of the most requested films for us to talk about when starting our show. What better place to start than with a Hayao Miyazaki classic!
