The Best of Double Oz Seven - Part 15 58:51

13d ago58:51

58:51

It seems forever ago that we actually started as a podcast and it also seems forever ago that we talked about Spectre before it was even released. Well it’s time to remember those good old days as our 15th ‘best of’ episode celebrates our coverage of the very first James Bond movie that was released after we were born! That’s right, it’s time to go…

S3E26. Hundreds of Beavers (2024) dir. Mike Cheslik 24:39

14d ago24:39

24:39

Mike Cheslik's HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS feels like a small miracle: an homage to Looney Tunes silliness shot in black & white without dialogue. The beavers hunted by bumbling drunken applejack-turned-fur trapper Jean Kayak (Ryland Brickson Cole Tews) are all represented by Disney World-style costumes (yep, big heads and cartoon faces). Hell, every anima…

It’s another rankings episode and time for a bit of fun as we go over all the times our favourite character has uttered his name in that true James Bond style as we rank all the Bond, James Bonds! Why are we extra mad at Colin for not being here this time? Why has Ben stuffed up the intro by not going with something obvious? Why are we so excited t…

Last week we celebrated the most beautiful man alive with his 71st birthday. That’s right, Pierce Brosnan got a year older but another year more beautiful. So what better way to celebrate him and that occasion than with a special episode dedicated to the man himself at a very special event in Sydney! To celebrate him, a special double screening of …

38:26

As an addendum to last episode, I interviewed Andy Brown and Brian Lindstrom, the directors of LOST ANGEL: THE GENIUS OF JUDEE SILL, about the decade-long process of bringing their music documentary to life. They chat about the x-factor moment that brought the movie's structure to light, the responsibilities felt from telling the underrated & under…

S3E23. Lost Angel: The Genius of Judee Sill (2024) dir. Andy Brown & Brian Lindstrom 21:00

3M ago21:00

21:00

LOST ANGEL: THE GENIUS OF JUDEE SILL is a documentary detailing the life and music of '70s singer-songwriter Judee Sill using as much of her own voice as possible. This could devolve into another talking-heads affair but having Judee's voice narrate and her art take animated flight on screen gives the movie an authenticity and more intimate connect…

MONKEY MAN is the directorial debut of Dev Patel. My best friend asked 'Wasn't that the guy who played Zuko in that bad Avatar movie?" Yes. Yes, he was.

S3E21. Immaculate (2024) dir. Michael Mohan 44:09

3M ago44:09

44:09

IMMACULATE was rescued by producer and star Sydney Sweeney from development hell, 10 years after she originally auditioned for the project. A horror movie about a nun who immaculately conceives a child the rest of the church believes to be the second coming of Christ? I can say why Sweeney would wanna hang onto that idea. However, as cool as that i…

36:40

Rose Glass' romantic body-horror noir LOVE LIES BLEEDING smacked me in the mouth and I'm all the better for it. What a taut, lean story about the way the beliefs about ourselves & our capabilities can fundamentally inform the directions our lives will take, for better and worse. Sometimes, all you need to change your life is someone to stroll into …

The Internet lit ablaze, yet again, today when the directors of the new horror movie LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL confirmed Letterboxd users' suspicions that the movie used AI to help craft some still images featured in the final cut. The blaze was fueled by debates over AI's involvement in art and the implications such technologies could have on an i…

The Rachel McAdams Picture Show keeps on truckin' with Kelly Fremon Craig's ARE YOU THERE, GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET. Following MEAN GIRLS up with this is my way of showing you the range of one Rachel McAdams: cutting someone down to size with a glance in one movie, masking insecurity as perfectionism for the benefit of her family in another.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced they're adding the Best Casting category to the Academy Awards in 2026 (awarding movies made in 2025).If you're scratching your head as to why casting should get its own award, you're not alone.

Sean Durkin's THE IRON CLAW got me to a place I've never been. Afterwards, I found myself crying in the movie theater bathroom.

"Evil Dead Rise" meets me as a tempered 30-year-old, married with two kids. Fede Alvarez's "Evil Dead" met me at 20, boundlessly obsessed with what could be achieved with a fire tanker's worth of blood. Sam Raimi's "The Evil Dead" stunned me at age 11, the gnarliest movie I'd seen up to that point. I've grown up loving this franchise, so when I say…
