Watch With Jen™

It's always a pleasure & honor to have one of our most knowledgeable & inventive guests, the great Karina Longworth, back on the podcast. The brains & voice behind her critically beloved film history podcast, You Must Remember This, Karina joined me to discuss the brand-new season of the long-running series called The Bisexuals. Covering not only her behind-the-scenes process and her recent studies in film restoration, but also several classic movie icons, in this engaging episode, we chat about Tallulah Bankhead in Alfred Hitchcock's LIFEBOAT, Montgomery Clift in William Wyler's THE HEIRESS, & Rock Hudson in Douglas Sirk's WRITTEN ON THE WIND.Listen to the Watch With Jen™ Podcast on RSS, Spotify, Google, Stitcher, Apple, Pandora, and MoreDonate to the Pod via Ko-fi & PayPal Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

Brilliant screenwriters, hilarious storytellers, & insightful cinephiles Larry Karaszewski (ED WOOD & THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT) & Dan Waters (HEATHERS & BATMAN RETURNS) return for their 3rd appearance on Watch With Jen. Choosing a genre purely for entertainment & curiosity's sake, rather than one they're especially devoted to, in this briskly paced, raucous, laugh-filled conversation, Larry & Dan are our 2 flight attendants leading us on a mostly chronological journey of earthquakes, fires, rollercoasters, swarms, avalanches, icebergs, & more in over 20 disaster movies from the 1970s. Filled with as many spoilers as there are old movie stars packed into the Hollywood phone-book-sized casts from these movies, where no character was safe, this engaging feature-length episode is another instant Karaszewski-Waters classic.Note: Having survived an epic weeks-long marathon viewing everything from the A-list and B-list of the decade, we lived through a disaster movie experience of our own, so this episode cover features our photos arranged like the cast headshots on the posters from AIRPORT, EARTHQUAKE, THE TOWERING INFERNO, THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, & more. Trust us, we're the Gene Hackman, Paul Newman, & Helen Hayes of this adventure & we'll lead you to safety.Originally Posted on Patreon (9/14/26) here: https://www.patreon.com/FilmIntuition/posts/169527065Jen's KickstarterListen to the Watch With Jen™ Podcast on RSS, Spotify, Google, Stitcher, Apple, Pandora, and MoreDonate to the Pod via Ko-fi & PayPalShop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

"Just say, 'Dance, monkey, dance!'" My honorary kid brother from Oz, One Heat Minute Productions' podcaster Blake Howard, returns to the show this week to chat about two of our favorite filmmakers & actors in director Sidney Lumet's SERPICO with Al Pacino, and John Frankenheimer's FRENCH CONNECTION II, starring Gene Hackman.Join us for a tightrope walk down the thin blue line, that's one of a darker shade, with these films that show us the corruption, moral flexibility, power jockeying, and ethical gray area in late '60s, early '70s policing. So dress like a PINK PANTHER villain with a gold fish ring, put on your favorite hibiscus shirt, and travel to New York City and Marseilles for a look at these films that are often underdiscussed today.Note: This episode is dedicated to my very own childhood "Paco," a Marine turned police officer whose story I shared, who had his own SERPICO experience over 35 years ago, with a very different ending. RIP Paco; I loved your darkly funny curse-happy stories & wish the world had been gentler on you.Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi & PayPalShop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music ArchiveOriginally Posted on Patreon (8/12/26) here: https://www.patreon.com/FilmIntuition/posts/watch-with-jen-166492599
