I did a @junkfilterpod.bsky.social about this movie with @hitfactorypod.bsky.social where we used the phrase “Horny Jail” several times
Criterion Channel@criterionchannl.bsky.social · 5mo agoSaturday evening viewing recommendation? Watch Jim McBride’s BREATHLESS (1986) in our ‘80s REMAKES (AND THEIR ORIGINALS!) collection! ❤️🔥 Remaking Jean-Luc Godard’s French New Wave landmark (itself an homage to American gangster films) was surely one of the more audacious cinematic gambits of the 80s
And the roundup for the week, including CAAMFest at the Kabuki, Lubitsch, Murnau, underrated Hitchcock, & From Dusk Till Dawn on 35mm, another @hitfactorypod.bsky.social appearance with Our Hero, Balthazaar filmmakers in person, yet more Newsreel films, and more: www.screenslate.com/articles/may...

We got @notoriouslightning.bsky.social of @hitfactorypod.bsky.social on the pod to talk The Fabelmans, a movie about how making movies basically ruined Steven Spielberg’s life, but it's also the only way he knows how to process everything bad that's ever happened to him. LINK BELOW
NEW PREMIUM HIT FACTORY // Something new for our faithful Patrons: "What Have You Watched with Me Lately?" A conversation about all the movies, new and old, that we've been enjoying this past month not covered elsewhere on the show. See below.
Completely bizarre that I am watching a bunch of movies from Cannes 1992, completely on my own little weird day-to-day schedule, and yet I watched Mambety's HYENAS the day @hitfactorypod.bsky.social posted an ep on it, and then I watched BENNY'S VIDEO the same way @davidlsims.bsky.social watched it
@hitfactorypod.bsky.social Hooting with jubilation seeing that there is a podcast episode on Hyenas, a movie I watched a few months ago on Mubi. Looking forward to listening!
Over on Patreon - Carlee (@deepimpactcrier.bsky.social) discusses the mode of mythic storytelling as an antidote to the anesthesia induced by the Language of Empire and Danny Boyle's 28 YEARS LATER as a modern example of epic poetic form. See below.

The @hitfactorypod.bsky.social year round up ep was great but I shouldn't have listened to it while driving, because I gotta go through again when I can safely add a lot of stuff to my watchlist.
NEW HIT FACTORY // DENZEMBER 2 kicks off with Spike Lee & Denzel Washington's first collaboration, MO' BETTER BLUES, a film about jazz, the appropriation of Black music, and the pursuit of greatness at the expense of human connection. Minnie Zondi is our guest. Links below.
BONUS HIT FACTORY // Better late than never, we discuss Paul Thomas Anderson's latest hit ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, its bracing formalism, its political limitations, and its status as an object of impassioned discourse. Link below.
The concept of making a movie about white supremacy and the military violence that enforces it with your Zionist pal Jonny Greenwood. (FTR I had a blast watching this movie I just think PTA is ideologically hollow and willfully focused on politics as vibes and vibes only.)

Released on this day in 1993: CARLITO’S WAY. I joined @hitfactorypod.bsky.social to discuss it as one of De Palma’s three inarguable masterpieces. Along the way we talk about SCARFACE as a septum-gored DAS KAPITAL, “natural artifice,” and De Palma as our most underrated melodramatist.
Hit Factory Podcast@hitfactorypod.bsky.social · 12mo agoNEW PREMIUM HIT FACTORY // @aheartofgould.bsky.social joins to discuss Brian De Palma's masterful crime saga CARLITO'S WAY which sees the filmmaker at his most formally audacious, contemplative, and breathtakingly intimate. Link below.
"Failed State’s dedication to naturalism creates a relationship between Dale and the empty city that borders on apocalyptic." Incredible review out of last night's @hitfactorypod.bsky.social
