“You and I both respond to goals”: ‘Bottle Rocket’ at 30
'Bottle Rocket' helped establish Wes Anderson as a major filmmaker and Luke and Owen Wilson as movie stars. But it's always been more than just a humble indie launching pad.

We have a weird culture when it comes to our relationship with animals and the cinema we produce about one of our most loaded and messianic relationships with the natural world says a lot about Who We Are. I watched a handful of Disney dog films and unpacked all this a bit in this very fun episode!

The death of the alt-weekly has had such a huge effect on people and third places; I have no idea where to look to find out what's going on now. It has made people more isolated, killed institution and flattened art and culture because they wanted you on Facebook instead, taking psychic damage
Great interview, this in particular really stuck out to me. Can’t tell you how many phone calls I get at work asking about a movie that came out weeks or months ago; no one knows when something is getting released except for huge movies like Wicked 2

Robert DuVall was unbelievable, especially in his era. He seemed modest in comparison to his contemporaries like Pacino or De Niro or Hoffman, but unlike them you could plug him into most roles like a character actor, and trust him with the heavy stuff too.

You could have legitimately ONE HUNDRED people post "here's a clip from my favorite Robert Duvall performance" and have every single one of them be a different movie.

nit a great movie by any stretch, but a great document of cool actors with interesting faces. Chock full of weird little character beats and some slo-mo James Caan vs ninjas, Duvall excellent in a smaller role as the dastardly heavy.

Eastern Condors is Sammo at his most ruthless and the finale is a series of fast paced hard hitting fights with Yuen Biao once again effortlessly stealing the movie. An absolute action classic filled with full contact hits, bloody violence and some gnarly stunts!
