The Immortals

Terence Malick makes beautiful films that are known for their peaceful aesthetic and calming atmosphere. So of course we argued about it. The Immortals reviewed the Days of Heaven, Malick's second film, which takes place in Texas. Then they went to California, Israel and Japan. We're so cultured!   Intro 0:00 -- 4:49 Days of Heaven - 4:49 -- 25:42 California - 25:42 -- 32:07 Holy Basil - 32:07 -- 33:21 Im Nin’Alu - 33:21 -- 41:54 Takeshi’s Castle - 41:54 -- 50:17 Outro - 50:17 -- 53:32   --Leave your own henge ratings at TheArtImmortal.com --Be sure you leave an iTunes review so Pedro can give you a compliment on air.    Email Twitter iTunes YouTube   Join us next Thursday as we discuss more random things.

OH MY GOD WE'RE BACK AGAIN! After surviving Leigh crashing their space ship, the four Immortals are hiding on [REDACTED] and back to reviewing so many very random pieces of pop culture. And there's no better movie about coming back from break and realizing everything is bonkers and this plot doesn't make any sense than Grease! Also we have a band who is apparently not the Red Hot Chili Peppers, we confirm chives are weird, we know what not to do at the opera in a music video and we talk about a car show but never really talk about cars. Get excited!   Intro 0:00 -- 3:49 Grease 3:49 -- 22:30 The Real Thing 22:30 -- 29:00 Chives 29:00 -- 32:27  Voices Carry 32:27 -- 38:07 Top Gear 38:07 -- 59:40 Outro 59:40 -- 1:03:19   --Leave your own henge ratings at TheArtImmortal.com --Be sure you leave an iTunes review so Pedro can give you a compliment on air.    Email Twitter iTunes YouTube   Join us next Thursday as we discuss more random things.

The Immortals go to France and pick up all the food you didn't want to eat, you monsters. Also they watch Agnes Varda's The Gleaners and I.

The Immortals are settling in for one of the longest films they've covered. Also, possibly one of the best. They look at the feminist masterpiece Jeanne Dielman 23, quai du Commerce 108 Bruxelles. (There will be a spoiler warning when they talk about the ending.)

Keep an eye on the pitcher because we got a screwball this week! The gang watches the delightful Preston Strurges comedy, The Palm Beach Story.

It's time for Sarah's bonus pick! She chose one of her all time favorite movies and gives the co-hosts a little law education as she talks about why My Cousin Vinny got so many things right. Then they watch The Tempest in space!

It's not the easiest film to find, but it's worth it. The Immortals review a groundbreaking piece of American cinema, Charles Burnett's Killer of Sheep. 

Where did she go? Where did we go?! Regardless, we are back to talk about an early Hitchcock thriller that he made before coming to America. 

What else could Episode 237 be? The Immortals have always been in the Overlook. They go deep into the Stanley Kubrick beloved adaptation of the classic Stephen King novel. One of the hosts even say this may be their favorite film! And perhaps not the host you think....(You only have four guesses.) Next episode was actually recorded recently!

In an episode that was clearly recorded last fall, Sarah, Austin and Pedro get into what the fans have been demanding. A long lost Brazilian short film! Turns out, it's actually really interesting but also quite distancing. The downloads for this episode are going to be insane. 

Austin continues his editing backlog with the Immortals looking at the Civil War film, Glory. It is about a group of black soldiers so of course it stars Matthew Broderick. Also Pedro talks about the 2021 Music Box of Horrors.

Austin catches up on his editing backlog with this fun episode where the gang talk about the charming British heist movie, The Lavender Hill Mob!

Don't believe the title! The Immortals watch the upsetting Michael Haneke film Funny Games. (The original, not the American remake). They spoil the whole movie as they discuss whether Haneke's thesis still applies today and if the movie can work without it.

No bees in this one! The Immortals go to a weird British isle and encounter The Wicker Man. No spoilers for the first half of the conversation and we warn you when we talk about the ending. (Watch it first! It's only 88 minutes!)

Pardon while we post this episode. The Immortals look at the 1974 Mel Brooks classic, Blazing Saddles. And two of them hadn't seen it before! And they didn't know it was co-written by a black writer until halfway through their first viewing! 

In the circus we have Dumbo and in the political circus we have dummies. The Immortals watch the 1942 Disney classic as well as one of Austin's favorite movies, 2009's In the Loop. It's not just because The Doctor swears up a storm in it, but it helps. Note -- Something went wrong with the Chicago audio and we apologize for the lesser quality. J.C., as always, sounds great.

The Immortals stay with Gong Li films from the early 90s with the Palm d'Or winning film, Farewell My Concubine.

The Immortals watch one of the most acclaimed films of the 90s, the Zhang Yimou film about a woman who becomes a rich man's fourth wife.

Finally a movie everyone has heard of! For whatever reason, the book has The Lord of the Rings trilogy as one entry and we try to do it justice. Thankfully....we're big fans.

The Immortals are back with their best friend Jean-Luc Godard where they discuss his traffic jam extravaganza Weekend. Also they talk about the Olympics.
