Description
We're three guys and guests discussing movies and anything else on a screen that deserve discussion. We think that a movie or show or documentary can become better by talking about it for a while. We don't focus on what critics, film analysts or other professionals think; these are our own thoughts...Because a good film and a few people in a room is more than enough for a fun discussion about movies.

Jake, Charly, and Chris share their 'best of' movies and television for the year so far along with what's working and what they couldn't finish watching. Happy Summer!
Chris and Charly discus their thoughts on season 1 of Yellowjackets.
In this episode of The Tilt Shift podcast, hosts Charly, Andrew, and Chris take a deep dive into the final episode of "The Last of Us". Despite the episode's short - or some would say ... consistent - the conversation is long, as the hosts share their mixed reactions to the show's ending and the series overall. While some wish the show was longer to allow for more exploration of the characters, others appreciated its efficiency in conveying a powerful story focused on relationships and love, which culminates in a "gut punch" ending that sets up season 2. With a blend of analysis, allusions, and insights, this episode of The Tilt Shift offers a thought-provoking exploration of the final episode of "The Last of Us", and the impact it had on both the hosts. Tune in to hear their unique perspectives and insights on this unforgettable show.
In this episode Charly and Chris take a closer look and delve into this accelerated episode. Despite the terrible brutality it's precisely these trials that strengthen the relationship between Joel and Ellie. We discuss the ways in which the characters rely on one another, and how their relationships evolve as they face new challenges. We appreciate the the bold choices the show runners are making and the result is a wonderful complexity to "The Last of Us." Join us as we reflect on the themes of trust and resilience that emerge from the show's characters, and how these elements keep us entertained even if this might not be the strongest episode of the series. Thank you for tuning in!
Charly, Andrew, and Chris share their reaction to possibly the most uplifting episode of "The Last of Us" so far! The nostalgia was running at an all time high. They discuss the friendship between Riley and Bella, as well as debate which of the five wonders of the mall they see as the best. "The Last of Us" continues to be a show that has a clear purpose and builds characters with direction. Another absolute joy!
Charly, Andrew, and Chris discuss episode 6 of The Last of Us. Despite the "false tension" of the opening moments, Joel is pushed to the brink, despite accomplishing one of his major goals. And along the way, Ellie shows her growth, insecurity, and strength. Despite being the most flawed episode, it still accomplishes what it needs to: it develops the main characters and sets up the final three episodes.
Join Chris and Charly as we recap the episode paying special attention to the set up, patience, and perspective of these two episodes. Joel and Ellie are no longer alone and are working with Henry and Sam to flee Kansas City. But who is evil in this show? Kathleen and Perry have an interesting story as well. Get ready to explore different perspectives and gain insight into why some characters made the decisions they did. Discover which characters embody the "protector" archetype and why they are important to the story. Don't miss out on how "The Last of Us" depicts a harsh world where it's not enough to just "endure and survive."
Join Chris and Charly as we recap the episode, noticing all of the small details, such as electrical fences and wine pairings, and discovering that it is possible to maintain humanity and joy even when the world ends. We discuss episode 3's joys and sorrows, as well as why "The Last of Us" has demonstrated that this show is about much more than just surviving an apocalypse.
Charly and Chris discuss their early impression of the television show, stressing its great acting, well-developed story, comparison to the video game, and breathtaking scenery. Join them as they delve into the universe of "The Last of Us" and discuss the show's influence and the possibility of more in the future!
A solo cast on "The English" on Amazon Prime. This television series features overly rich dialogue, sparse and extending landscapes, vicious characters, and violent resolutions. As well, expect outcomes that are impossible to predict! "The English" depicts the stark nature of colonialism in the American West following the Civil War. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek!
Last Chance U is a sports docu-series on Netflix. The show follows junior college (JUCO) athletes at East LA College that are trying to rehabilitate their athletic career. At first glance this series is about basketball and the JUCO system, but what unfolds are compelling stories of young adults trying to overcome more than just the challenges of basketball, and helping them are the the coaches, trainers, and families who all sacrifice and have hope for future success. Last Chance U has gotten better every successive season in how it's presented with just the right mix of basketball training and practice, game synopsis, personal stories, yelling coaches, and the daily challenges of junior college life.
Jake and Chris discuss the what it's like to be severed and work at Lumon, the company at the centre of the television series "Severance." We look at what the series says about the nature of work and what severance means for the "innies" Helly R, Mark S, Irving B, Burt G, and Dylan G. Despite the finger traps, waffle parties, and music dance experiences, severance doesn't seem worth it. We hope you enjoy the conversation.
Nina, Kim, Morgan, and Chris discuss what Top Gun: Maverick means to them. Topics include the power and grace of Ice Man, Maverick's focus building his team, why flying is cool, and what this movie says about generations, teaching, and work. We love this movie, and we hope you love podcast because "it's the only one [on Top Gun Maverick] that [we] got."
There are some minor recording errors during parts of this episode. Our apologies for this.
Charly and Chris discuss previous Batman movie comparisons, favourite scenes, and important themes about an hour after they watched Matt Reeves' The Batman. Get their initial thoughts of this three hour film and SPOILER ALERT - they do not hold back in talking about the whole movie! At the end, Charly and Chris go over their top 'character lighting a flare' and "character free falling" moments from the films that come to mind.
In this podcast, Charly and Chris discuss Alien and Aliens as they explore the miners, marines, and aliens of planet LV426. So what makes this movie "best in class"? We think a lot of aspects: we discuss sinister corporations, technology that will save and hurt us, future human nature, and just really great storylines that create suspense and foster anxiety. Enjoy! (and be sure to listen to the end to see if this podast is doomed!)
In this special episode we are trying to do something very 'un-Snyderish' - we are trying to shorten our podcast run time! During this episode, Jake and Chris list their ten thoughts on Zack Snyder's Justice League. At four hours running time it took a couple of evenings, but was it worth it? From the macro to meta will it this movie be a marvel? Or did we waste our time and really we should have done this on "Infinity War" and "Endgame." Find out on today's episode of the Tilt Shift.
In today's episode, Chris, Charly, and our special guest, Kim, discuss the Marvel genre and how Black Panther transcended the formula. We also share our overall impressions of the significance of Black Panther and our favourite scenes! We hope you enjoy and thank you for listening!
Why are rhino's so awesome?!! Find out this and more (after an unusually long hiatus) in the second part of our conversation on The Black Panther.
In today's episode Chris discusses the documentary Val with his guest, Nina, who is also a huge fan of Val Kilmer. During their discussion they look at their top 5 Val Kilmer movies, their top 5 Val Kilmer scenes, and his most well known lines. They also give their thoughts on Val and the book I'm Your Huckleberry. Finally, they try to settle that age old question: who is the better pilot - Maverick or Iceman?
How does a Federal Marshal and a bank robber find love and romance with each other as they both also try to catch each other? This is the subject of today's solo Tilt Shift episode. Chris goes through Out of Sight, an early Steven Soderbergh movie that stars George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez. Jake and Charly are absent on this one, so we hope you enjoy Chris' insightful but slightly overly monotone delivery.
