For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved? SHOW NOTES: Meet The Man Living in The Lost City Carved in Stone Jordan: Petra's tourism authority cracks down on Bedouin cave dwellers The tribes paying the brutal price of conservation “There is no future for Umm Sayhoun” Jordan’s Young Bedouins Are Documenting Their Traditions on TikTok Check out Sami's company Jordan Inspiration Tours Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

With Valentine's day coming up any day now, we couldn't pass up the chance to talk about romantic movies and love stories. Tim is joined by Brian Fowler, Your Movie Rocks host Mandy Albert, and new member of the podcast family Cameron Shaw to kick around questions of what makes a romantic movie, what doesn't, and our own histories with cinematic love stories.
Before that happens, Tim discusses the 2018 Penguin Highway, courtesy of Patreon supporter Kyrie, while Cameron shares her thoughts on the unjustly overlooked new release Better Man. Mandy's thoughts on the justly overlooked Reagan sparks some thoughts on conservative cinema. And Brian has managed to scrounge up a David Lynch concert documentary that nobody else on the show had ever ever heard of.

And as promised on the episode, a very special (and slightly embarrassing) treat: a music video that Tim directed way back in the early 2010s for Rob: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNA435VwlbM

Brennan is joined this week by Cameron (whom we finally give a chance to plug her own podcast, Stoneybrook Reunion ) and Andrew, and the three of them are having a conversations about incomplete franchises: series that stalled out in the middle, sequel hooks that never caught anything, book adaptations that didn't make it all the way through the source material. Before they get to that point, Andrew shares his experience with the confounding 2001 film Despiser , while Cameron looks at the new release Eephus , and Brennan brings the even newer release Locked . It's a wide-ranging look at movies and series old and new, and it provides a lot to think about, even though Tim, in absentia, is screaming all sorts of nasty things at the group for failing to mention Horizon: An American Saga .…

Welcome to Your Movie Rocks, an Alternate Ending podcast hosted by Mandy Albert. For every episode, Mandy will watch a movie assigned by her guest host, followed by a lively discussion. There’s only one rule: no matter what the movie does to her, Mandy is only allowed to love it. For Episode 3, Mandy is joined by Zev Burrows for some quality time In a Lonely Place (1950) with Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame. Tune in to find out what it has in common with The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, why more movies should be made in the middle of their stars’ messy divorces, and what Zev was thinking when he decided, like a weirdo, that it might be fun to watch a good movie for the podcast.…

Brennan is joined this week by Brian and Gavin, and the three of them chat about the films coming out soon to U.S. (and French!) theaters. While the three of them try to figure what the hell a Minecraft is, they discover that there are plenty of interesting-looking genre films sneaking out amongst the unimpressive-looking heavy hitters. Before that, Brennan discusses the 1981 German art film Taxi zum Klo , a groundbreaking representation of gay sex in cinema, at the request of Patreon supporter Freya, while Brian and Gavin whether Disney's new butchery of Snow White or Netflix butchery of life itself, The Electric State , is the more aggravating way to have set more than a quarter of a billion dollars on fire.…

This week, Brennan takes over hosting duties to welcome returning guests Andrew and Zev. The three of them share notes on the movies coming up over the next month, doing their absolute best to avoid talking about the Snow White -shaped elephant in the room while coming up with some promising smaller releases that we don't want to see fall through the cracks.

For our first episode of 2025, we're taking a look back over the year that was. Tim and Brennan are joined by guests Zev Burrows and Caleb Wimble to talk about our favorite and least-favorite films of 2024, as well as the best surprises, biggest disappointments, and our picks for the most overlooked films of the year. While the people of the Los Angeles metro area are dealing with one of the most devastating natural disasters in modern U.S. history, Brennan would like to invite you to take a look at a GoFundMe campaign to help a family of a beloved local business: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-the-bulgarini-family Zev, meanwhile, is proud to announce the release of a new album: https://www.apmmusic.com/albums/MPATH_MPATH_0227 And Caleb has just completed work on a new indie table top RPG: https://www.letusbuildatower.com/…
