The Schlock and Awe Podcast

This week on S&A Lindsay and Rachel tap dance on the town in Paris with a Gene Kelly Double of Stanley Donan's On the Town (1949) & Vincente Minnelli's An American in Paris (1951). Gene Kelly was an important figure not just in the Movie Musical but in Movies in General. They way he developed dance and abstract moved through film history.

Plus these movies are just fun

We are looking at the story of Catherine Sloper of Henry James' novel Washington Square. A double of William Wyler's The Heiress (1949) & Agnieszka Holland's Washington Square (1997).

This week on S&A Lindsay and Tim from It Didn't Go Platinum Podcast wonder what it would be like to grow up in the apocalypse. It's a Double of Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men (2006) & Dr. George Miller's Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024). This is a Double that not only looks at gaining power or resources in a dystopia - whether it be children or a bullet farm. But more importantly the attitudes of countries like Britain and ...

This week on S&A Lindsay & Bede vs The Living Dead - Bede create their own Vanity Project with a Double of Craig Denny's The Astrologer (1976) & John De Hart's Champagne and Problems (1993). Do you want a film maker who doesn't know what they are doing? A film guided by numerology, no context for scenes, grotesque sex scenes and a very drunk Wings Hauser? We have that and more. These men had a dream and too much money a...

This week on S&A Lindsay and Preston Mitchell go the way of Revenge in a Double of  Jim Jarmusch's Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) & Park Chan-wook's Olddog (2003). This is a Double of many things. The rules and philosophy behind it - the Japanese & Southern Korean Rules. What does it mean to be a warrior and using spirits of the past, whether as tutors or to fuel vengeance. There is a lot going on.

This week on S&A Lindsay & Robb Antequera head down into the underground of 1990s DTV Action with Don the Dragon's Ring of Fire: Blood and Steel (1993) & Gary Daniels' Riot (1996). This is a Double of a specific kind of action star. But it is also a Double of Budget Action Film Making, making action on the fly and how each movie handles each persona. Oh so much more round kicking and revenge than you are ready for.

On this week's S&A Lindsay and Luna Rossi Films & This is Film's Carlo be leaping. It's a bonkers mid naughties French double of Pierre Morel's District B13 (2004) & Louis Leterrier's Unleashed (2005). This is an action double that looks at a time and a place, but also a style of action and the history that lead up to it. It's my favourite kind of Double to cover. So much leaping! Parkour

This week on S&A Lindsay & Justin Anderson wake up in an unusual place. This is a Double of Philippe Mora's Communion (1989) & Dean Parisot's Galaxy Quest (1999) is there something out there or is it really just an episode of Television. Who knows - but these movies are awesome. So best to check the historical documents.

This week on S&A Lindsay & AJ waltz into the west with a mop and bucket to clean it. This is a Double of George Marshall's Destry Rides Again (1939) & Rowdy Herrington's Road House (1989). This a Western Double, but one that defies expectation. Cause Pain Don't Hurt.

This week on S&A Lindsay and Carmelita Valdez McKoy want to see. It's death on screen with a double of Joel Schumacher's 8MM (1999) & Alejandro Amenábars' Thesis (1996).

This is a double that not just gets into our obession with portraying death on screen and why. But also whether we really know our limits and it we want to.
