We're back, baby!! To kick off the first episode of 2023, we are diving into "BABYLON" (2022) Damien Chazelle's latest, most controversial film, starring Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie and Diego Calva, as a bunch of dreamers who ride the wave of Hollywood's transition from silent film to talkies, which also marks the end of the depraved and decadent world that it once was. In this episode, we discuss many of the true historical origins of many of the "Babylon" characters, the book "Hollywood Babylon," the original "Babylon" script, and the polarizing ending.

This week is a double wammy to finish off the Midcentury Macabre spooky movie series (yes, it lasted through Thanksgiving, but I never want spooky season to end!!!). We talk about the 1960 Georges Franju classic horror "Eyes without a Face," the film that made seven Scots pass out, inspired Michael Myer's mask, and prompted Pedro Almodovar to create a loose adaptation. We also talk about that adaptation, a 2011 film starring Antonio Banderas called "The Skin I Live In" which also credits the novel "Tarantula" by Thierry Jonquet. We have a special guest this week, "Snake In The Grass" episode 8 winner and horror enthusiast Juliet Bell. Follow her here.

This 1958 horror "The Blob" is known for being Steve McQueen's first on-screen leading feature, but there were so many more aspects to the film that keep it in the conversation even today. This week as part of the Mid-century Macabre series, we dive into the cultural landscape at the time that was used in the storytelling of this movie to make it that much more frightening for audiences at the time, including the space race, the cultural divide between teenagers (see: Greasers) and their parents, and small town Americas midnight horror movie.

This week we continue with the Mid-Century Macabre series by diving into the 1942 classic "Cat People" which made Roger Ebert's "Great Movies" list, Steven Schneider's "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die," the Criterion Collection and it's way into my heart. This episode is all about the feminine villain and sympathetic monsters going all the way back to the forties. There is also a bit of bonus content in the form of a list of the top 10 best cats in film. Episode notes can be found here.Patreon can be found here.Instagram can be found here.
Kicking off our next series "Mid-Century Macabre" - horror movies from the 1950s/60s is a film with a long-lasting legacy and surprising back story, "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954). This week is all about the creatures creator, Milicent Patrick, whose biography exists within the pages of the book "The Lady from the Black Lagoon" by Mallory O'Meara. DIVE IN with me and we will look at the culture impact of the film, its relationship to other monster movies, and how the film came to be.

My friend who is also a photographer Aaron Jacobi (see episode on "The Batman") is back! This week we embark on the first of a two-part-er (expect nothing less for a flawless Hitchcockian summer thriller). We talk about the beloved "Rear Window" (1954) and what it says about voyeurism, how placing a photographer in the foreground informs most of the shots and how it compares to the short story it is based on.

On this weeks episode, we take a look at the year 1999 in film, and continue the sizzling summer series with one of my all time favorite thrillers: "The Talented Mr. Ripley" directed by Anthony Minghella, starring Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Cate Blanchett. Stacked cast, perfect aspirational summer aesthetics and unexpected thrills.Follow the pod on Instagram @ingloriousbaguettes or on TikTok @cinematicbreadcrumbsEpisode notes can be found here.Cover art by Isis Petit with coloration by Katie Anderson
This week your host Elise Hernke and special guest Phillip Yancey of @coyotemustache talk the 1975 summer blockbuster of all summer blockbusters "Jaws" and do a draft pick of their top Steven Spielberg and John Williams (composer) collaborations.Episode notes can be found here.Cover art by Isis Petit with coloration by Katie AndersonFollow the Pod's Instagram at @ingloriousbaguettes.
This week we dive into the movie "A Bigger Splash" (2015) a remake, and the film its based on on, the 1969 French film "La Piscine" AKA "The Swimming Pool" (which was also filmed entirely in English as well). "A Bigger Splash" was made by CMBYN's Luca Guadagnino and stars Tilda Swinton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Dakota Johnson and Ralph Fiennes. The 1969 original stars Romy Schneider, Alain Dolan, Maurice Ronet and freaking baby JANE BIRKIN. These movies are amazing and actually were the inspiration behind this entire aspirational summer series, but they also leave a lot of room for discussion. SO MANY QUESTIONS. I attempt to deep-dive into all the different aspects of the films side by side to try to understand each character in their varied forms - Marianne, Jean-Paul (or Paul), Harry and Penelope.

Venturing further into the sunkissed, sundrenched sweltering sizzling summer series with one of my personal favorites, "Overboard" - the original 1987 cult classic directed by Garry Marshall led by long time Hollywood couple Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. This film is a fun watch, but also I wanted to highlight the career and life of Wayne A. Finkelman - the incredibly brilliant costume designer behind this film and several others, who passed away far too young in 1994. The Hollywood Heritage Museum curated an exhibit in honor of him and his work in this film in partnership with the Western Costume Co. who dedicated their research library to him. Follow Heath Daniels curation of Finkelman's work and support the exhibits expansion here.

This episode kicks off the Sizzling Summer series which is all movies that *feel* like summer to me.

This week we dive into "Under The Silver Lake" (2018) directed by David Robert Mitchell that takes place in your host Elise Hernke's new neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. This film, starring Andrew Garfield and Riley Keough, is heavy on the references and symbolism - a labyrinth of clues, but where do they lead? We analyze several of the films conspiracy theories, the idolization of Hollywood, the disillusionment and who was THE DOG KILLER??Full episode notes can be found here.Cover art by Isis Petit with coloration by Katie AndersonFollow the Pod's Instagram at @ingloriousbaguettes.
