À propos du podcast
Audio commentaries are the embryonic form of podcasting, and this show looks at the art of filmmaking through the greatest of these tracks. From comedy to drama, live-action to animation, good and bad, we run the gamut of cinema in a lighthearted, hopefully enlightening fashion. It’s the only commentary-centric show that matters because it’s the only one I've heard.

Notes de l’épisode
Everything is awesome! For our eighty-sixth episode, we’re joined once again by friend of the show Michael Marquis Albright (Down in Front) for a discussion of the audio commentary for the beloved 2014 animated film (now celebrating its 11th anniversary, just imagine!) “The Lego Movie”. Among the things discussed: comparisons to “Barbie”, getting screenplay props from Robert McKee, misguided endorsements from Glenn Beck, how the kinetic style leads naturally into “Spider-Verse”, whether anyone involved with the commentary has actually listened to a commentary, pigs exploding into sausages, and so much more. Just don’t step on this movie with bare feet. Hurts like hell.
Ryan’s Recommendations: “Godzilla vs. Biollante” (1989), “Godzilla 2000” (1999), and “Godzilla Minus One” (2023)

Notes de l’épisode
For our eighty-fifth episode, we’re joined once again by one of my best friends and the newest inductee into the Three Timer’s Club: Nicki, from the YouTube series “Trivial Theater”, for a discussion of the audio commentar(ies) for your wonky yet affable host’s favorite film of 2024 (according to when it was greatly available): Mike Cheslik’s “Hundreds of Beavers”. Among the things discussed: the lost art of parody promotional posters, making the most of 2020 quarantine by going out in the snow and doing something insane, why directors who make snowbound comedies record inebriated commentaries (two in this case), Looney Tunes and Buster Keaton influences, the origins of two new catch phrases, and so much more. Oh, and try out the free streaming service Hoopla. Support your local library.
Ryan’s Recommendations: “The Wire” (2002-2008), “Deadwood” (2004-2006), and “East Bound & Down” (2009-2013)

Notes de l’épisode
Since today marks the 39th anniversary of the death of legendary voice actor Paul Frees, I’ve decided to pull this episode of The Coolness Chronicles (my first podcast) from behind the exclusive Patreon paywall covering the man’s entire staggering career. It’s one of the earliest episodes I ever published, and therefore it’s incredibly important to me.
Not familiar with the name Paul Frees? After 90 minutes of my nonsense, you will be.

Notes de l’épisode
For our eighty-fourth episode, we’re joined by Rachel Bellwoar (“The Physical Media Advocate”) for a discussion of the audio commentary for future Marvel director Peyton Reed’s feature directorial debut, 2000’s cheerleader comedy “Bring It On”. Among the things discussed: Reed’s aborted Fantastic Four movie, respecting cheerleaders as athletes, embracing and subverting high school movie cliches, whether or not Jesse Bradford was cool enough to like The Clash, various “Buffy” connections, and so much more.
Ryan’s Recommendations: “Rosemary’s Baby” (1968), “Macbeth” (1971), and “Chinatown” (1974)

Notes de l’épisode
For our eighty-third episode, we’re joined once again by my friend and "Reels of Justice" co-host Dylan J. Schlender for a discussion of biographer Walter Chaw’s commentary for Walter Hill’s influential 1979 action classic “The Warriors”. Amongst the things discussed: the ill-advised director’s cut (seriously, we talk about it A LOT), David Patrick Kelly’s improvisation of the iconic Coke bottle scene, references to “I Love the ‘70s”, Hill’s examination of masculinity and identity, parallels to stories of Ancient Greece, and so much more. Can you dig it?!
Ryan’s Recommendations: “Night of the Living Dead” (1968), “Dawn of the Dead” (1978), and “Day of the Dead” (1985)

Notes de l’épisode
For our eighty-second episode, we’re joined by comedian, actress, and filmmaker Anastasia Washington (“Gaslighter”) for a discussion of the audio commentary for Jordan Peele’s astonishing debut film: 2017’s “Get Out”. Amongst the things discussed: being biracial in modern times, shaving cream as foreshadowing, making the most of a 23 day shoot, the metaphor of the Sunken Place (also known as teacupping?), the sheer volume of references in the opening scene, Allison Williams’ versatility as a genre film actor, that spooky glass of milk, and so much more.
Ryan’s Recommendations: “The Circus” (1928), “City Lights” (1931), and “Monsieur Verdoux” (1947)
