Like Father Like Son Like Movies

Stuart and his son Sam have never been big sharers, but they've always connected over movies, and Stuart has always worked hard to expand Sam's cinematic horizons. Each episode, Stuart picks a movie for them to discuss, the idea being to deepen their appreciation for the chosen film, and maybe learn a little something about each other along the way. --- If you like the show, be sure to rate, review, and subscribe on your favorite podcatcher.

After almost a year and half, we return to discuss John Huston's 1948 classic The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. We discuss the movie’s timeless but trite theme, which of us would lose it first in a similar scenario, and best of all, the novel’s elusive author, B. Traven.

Sam and Stuart travel to the jungles of Columbia in William Friedkin's Sorcerer, where four criminals--each exiled from his respective country--have taken refuge. Desperate to escape his newfound purgatory, each agrees to undertake a task that anybody else would call a suicide mission: drive a truckload of nitroglycerin-sweating dynamite through the jungle to put out and oil well fire.

After a lengthy break induced by various technical issues and my (Sam's) erratic landlady's wifi debacle, we're back for a not-so-quick check-in. This episdoe, Dad and I don't talk about a specific movie, but rather spend the time catching up on what we've been watching lately, the movies that we're formative for us as kids, and the conspicious pattern of Jewish movies that begin inside the body.

This episode, Dad picks the impenetrable and infuriating Enemy, directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Jake Gyllenhaal as the two leads: a troubled college professor and his doppelganger, a narcissitic bit part actor.

Stories We Tell is a documentary conceived and directed by Sarah Polley about how stories determine how we think of ourselves and our place in the world. At first, the movie seems to be a movie about Sarah's mother. And it is, kind of. But it takes a turn part way through that's impossible to see coming. We highly recommend watching it before you listen to the episode.

Dad picks Take Shelter, which he's been trying to get me to watch for about 130 years. In response, I throw him a curve-ball in Martian Child, which is, as the saying goes, one weird mamma-jamma of a movie.

Sam picks _The Drop_, a crime/romance starring Tom Hardy, who may be Stuart's least favorite actor. In turn, Stuart successfully traumatizes his son with _Straw Dogs_, a nauseating tirade of a film directed by the infamous Sam Peckinpah.

Stuart picks The Silent Partner, leading Sam to choose a cat-and-mouse thriller of his own. In this riveting conversation, father and son ask the big questions, like who would win in a fight between Javier Bardem and Christopher Plummer? Is Elliott Gould a bad actor? And is Anton Chigurh's hair really that weird?
