How does one overcome the struggles of creating an award-winning short film by themselves?

You're watching a movie and suddenly, the whole meaning of the plot changes in a second, totally changing your view of what has transpired. Throughout history, films have used plot twists to pull the rug out from under their audiences to make them question everything they thought they knew of the script. But, sometimes these are done more successfu…

Throughout the ages of television, the drama has grown and evolved, much like a Pokémon. From the classics of the mid 20th century, through the blossoming of the golden age of dramatic tv in the early part of the 21st, the scope and budget may have enlarged, but has the quality? That is the question we aim to explore on this episode of I Don't Give…

A dark night cloaks the city. The streets run rampant with crime as the citizens cry out for a hero. No, we're not talking about New York City, we're talking about Gotham, and the hero that answers the call is the Batman. Since his creation in 1939, Batman has been a staple of comic books. With movies stretching back six decades, the Caped Crusader…

The Academy Award for Best Picture often goes to films that most people... wouldn't agree with. But once in awhile, the Academy does actually pick the best picture of the year (for example, in 1991 when Dances with Wolves beat out Godfellas).

"To be, or not to be? That is the question." Well, no, that's not really the question today. Today's question is about what are existential films and how do they affect us as filmgoers? What does it mean to have a film which discusses the nature of life and the meanings behind it? And do people watch these movies at all? That is the question we att…

Singing, dancing, long run-times. All are staples of movie musicals. But what makes a film musical? And what makes them truly exceptional?

"Lights. Camera. Action!" How do you know you're on an indie film set? When you're the one doing all three jobs. Small-budget films are some of the most interesting and dynamic movies ever made, using shoestring budgets cobbled together from life savings, borrowed funds, and a little bit of credit card shell games, these works of heart are done by …

"If you don't take the chance, you'll never know what could have been." The quote by Brad Turnbull is apt for movie studios in the 2020s. So many of the films created are remakes or "soft" reboots of prior successes. Is this something which is good for the industry and allow new talented people to leave their mark on a story, or is this a safe copo…

The career of M. Night Shyamalan has been one of starting at the top and falling to the very depths of memeory. But, much like his film style, is there a Renaissance or twist for him going forward?

From the earliest days of television, sitcoms (short for situational comedies) have been a staple of programming available.

But why do we still after more than 70 years of television still love the…

Today we discuss a group of elites who are extraordinarily out of touch with the people they supposedly serve. No, not politicians: film critics. As the decades have continued on, the chasm of disparity between what critics like and what their audiences enjoy has only widened. Websites such as Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB have begun listing not only wh…

As far back as this podcast goes, Jonny always wanted to do one on gangsters. Or, something like that. Mafia movies, gangster flicks, hood films, and cartel pictures are all some of the most recognizable staples of the cinema. Some of them have an antihero, like Michael Corleone; some of them an unrepentant perp like Scarface, and some have the guy…

The biggest film franchise in history is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With more than 30 films in the first three phases and grossing more than $20,000,000,000 worldwide, there can be no doubt that this juggernaut of a franchise leads the way in ticket sales. But when Marvel Studios first formed in the mid-2000s, this was far less of a certain fut…

But who are the top action heroes of…

This Podcast is not yet rated... oh wait... it is as mature content.

But, is this a necessary feature of life? And is it done in a consistent manner? Join Jonny, Neil and Gary this w…

When the story of this world is written, there will be a chapter in it on film; and within that chapter will be a section on Hollywood; and somewhere within that section is a paragraph on Quentin Tarantino, who will undoubtedly be labeled as the number two director of all time. In this episode, Jonny, Neil, and Gary explore the works of Tarantino, …

One of the most critical parts of films is the opening scene. They draw us in to the story, set the stage for the world of the film, and show us the tone of the film.

For more than 30 years, Adam Sandler has been a box-office and silver screen draw; films which have soared to the heavens, and films which have skimmed the very depths of Hell itself.

Music carries us away to the enchanted plains of Gondor, makes our heart race with shrieking violins in showers, fills us with wonder as we see a brachiosaurus on it's hind legs eating from a tree, and makes us cry as the little flag on the mailbox goes up and down signaling a letter from three years earlier (or later) has arrived. Film has always …

Once a year, we pause to admire the trappings of Eros and how the Arrow of Love strikes each of us. From the joys of first love to the final conclusion of slitting your wrists, films of all types usually carry some story of love or romance within their tale. As one of the most fundamental aspects of humanity, we see these stories played out in near…

"Beam me up, Scotty!" This was a line which was never directly said in the original Star Trek television show, but has nonetheless become a staple of modern pop culture today.

People shall look back on the year of our Lord 2020 and not have one nice thing to say about it. So we figured we might as well add on to the pile a bunch of crappy movies we have seen over the year; not necessarily those that came out in 2020, but those we randomly saw. Join Jonny and Gary as we discuss why they were bad and what is their appeal t…

Ebenezer Scrooge; Ralphie, George Bailey, Santa, and others are all long-standing archetypes of Christmas movies and stories going back decades and centuries.
