We’ve got our crew (incl the hilarious @danielleradford.bsky.social) assembled to discuss the new heist movie from Shane Black, PLAY DIRTY. Was it the heist of the century? We have thoughts. #filmsky

maximumfun.org/episodes/max...
On a red backdrop, the words "'Play Dirty' with Danielle Radford." A screenshot from Zoom appears below that title. In it, Danielle, Kevin, Alonso, and Drea each appear in their respective Zoom windows. All are smiling, but Alonso is smirking as if to say, "Hoo boy, buckle up." Below that, a cutout of Mark Wahlberg and LaKeith Stanfield from the poster for the movie PLAY DIRTY, framing the MAXIMUM FILM logo.

Kevin Avery has skyrocketed to the position of my
#1 podcast crush since he started hosting Maximum Film. His "Whats good" is always adorable (Trader Joe's wine, Greay British Bakeoff) and he's so cute in this episode especially.

We got @wkamaubell.bsky.social and Kevin together again to talk Denzel (and bust each others' chops). It's all in honor of Spike Lee and Denzel's 5th movie together, the first in decades...and it's a Kurosawa remake?

A lot going on in Ep 419, #denzealots! #filmsky

Very exciting to have film critic Michael Phillips on the show today as we discuss PTA’s new ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER and name some of our favorite (or at least the most memorable) secret societies in movie history. #filmsky

maximumfun.org/episodes/max...
A graphic reads “‘One battle after another’ with Michael Phillips“. In the background, there is an image of an empty road under a bright orange sky (from the poster for the movie). On top of this image, there is a screenshot from Zoom of each of the hosts in their respective windows, Drea, Alonso, Kevin, and guest Michael Phillips all smile out of the camera. Alonso holds a copy of the book ‘Of Christmases Long Long Ago.’ Below this there is a cut out graphic of Leonardo DiCaprio as Bob from the movie ‘one battle after another.’ He wears sunglasses and talks on a payphone.

it was just an absolutely unbelievable delight to go on Maximum Film! and talk about THE LONG WALK, a movie that I haven't stopped thinking about and that will probably end up as one of my favorite movies of all time. all I ever want to be doing is talking about this movie

We saw THE LONG WALK and lived to tell the tale! We get into the harrowing journey, the production, the performances, then share some movies that fail the Bechdel test, but still pass muster. With YA novelist and podcaster extraordinaire, @laurenshippen.com! #filmsky

A graphic with the words, “‘The Long Walk’ with Lauren Shippen” at the top in the orange text.

We're circling back to one of August's buzziest (and eeriest) hits this week: it's WEAPONS, with @louispeitzman.bsky.social! Plus, we pay tribute to some of cinema's most creepifying kiddos. Who would you add to the list? #filmsky

Over a blue-gray background, red text reads "WEAPONS with Louis Peitzman." Below that, a screenshot from Zoom shows Drea, Marissa, Louis Peitzman, and Kevin in their respective Zoom windows.

Married and moviemaking: what are people’s favorite deep cuts? In our HONEY DON’T episode this Friday we named a few, and we giving spiritual bonus points if they were both behind the camera.

I was surprised no one mentioned George Miller and Margaret Sixel! His direction and her editing are both absolutely essential to Mad Max: Fury Road, one of several movies they've worked together on.

Started typing "it doesn't get freakier than this!" but let's face it: this is a family film. Yes, we're talking FREAKIER FRIDAY this week, and freaking out about our guest, Mary Lynn Rajskub! Then we talk about some great and terrible sequel titles. #filmsky

Like many people with excellent taste, In the Mood for Love is one of my forever favorites and hopefully I managed to articulate why without just repeating how gorgeous Tony Leung is (and yes of course Maggie Cheung as well, I have eyes, would love to be stuck in a room with either of them, etc).

'In the Mood for Love' turns 25 this year, so we're giving it some love, with very special guest John Powers (who's interviewed Wong Kar-Wai extensively). Plus, re-setting period movies in new eras, movie marketing gambits, & we know where Pee-Wee's bike is! #filmsky
