Shawn, Brad, and Aaron take a deep dive into one of the strangest, smartest, and most influential franchises in science fiction history: Planet of the Apes. In Part One of their epic discussion, they revisit all five films from the original series, from the groundbreaking 1968 classic starring Charlton Heston to the increasingly bizarre sequels that somehow become darker, stranger, and more politically charged with each installment.

Along the way, they explore the franchise's unforgettable characters, groundbreaking makeup effects, civil rights allusions, nuclear anxieties, and the surprising emotional depth hiding beneath all that ape makeup.

This franchise has it all: mutant cultists, ape revolutions, time travel, political allegory, and the literal end of the world. What's not to love?

It's a madhouse! A MADHOUSE!!

Technically speaking? It’s not a good movie.

Emotionally speaking? They kind of love it anyway.

Together, Shawn and John dive deep into the strange, earnest, deeply endearing world of Cannon Films’ live-action adaptation of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, starring Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and a gloriously committed Frank Langella as Skeletor. Along the way, they unpack the film’s bizarre production history, its unmistakable “Cannon Films energy,” and why the movie’s sincerity and lack of cynicism make it weirdly lovable. They also discuss that odd moment when a "bad" movie ends up being far more endearing and memorable than a competent one.

In this special Between Takes episode of Missing Frames, Neva returns to the show to reflect on the whirlwind year following Superman’s release, including the heartfelt reactions from fans who embraced her warm, grounded portrayal of Martha Kent. She shares stories about meeting Superman fans from across the country, discusses some of the comics and Superman stories she’s been exploring lately, and opens up about what it’s been like becoming part of one of pop culture’s most beloved mythologies.

Shawn and Neva also revisit some of the film’s most emotional moments, including her and Pruitt Taylor Vince's (Pa Kent) reactions to the film's powerful final scene and why the Kent family dynamic resonated so deeply with audiences. They also discuss Neva’s recent appearances on 9-1-1: Nashville, her upcoming film projects, and her excitement about attending this year’s Superman Celebration in Metropolis, Illinois. 

Naturally, Shawn and Neva also look ahead to the future of the DCU, including their excitement for projects like Supergirl and Lanterns. (As for Clayface… Neva may be sitting that one out.)

And yes, Shawn does his best “Lois Lane investigative journalist” impression while trying to uncover whether Ma and Pa Kent might return for James Gunn’s upcoming Superman sequel, Superman: Man of Tomorrow.

While the performances are still strong, what should have been a powerful payoff feels more like a drawn-out third act, one that struggles to justify the filmmakers' decision to split the story into two films. 

During their discussion, Shawn and Sarah break down:

• The challenges of adapting a stage musical into two standalone films
• Why the emotional core of the story doesn’t quite land
• How separating Elphaba and Glinda for most of the runtime undermines the film’s emotional core

Twelve-year-old Binti and her father, Jovial, are undocumented immigrants from the Congo, who have lived in Belgium since Binti was a baby. She aspires to be an online influencer, but their lives are upended when the refugee squat they are living in is raided by the Belgian police.

While on the run, Binti meets Elias, a young boy who is working to save the okapi, the threatened “forest giraffe” native to the Congo. Their parents meet, and Binti realizes that a solution to her problems is right in front of her—all she needs to do is convince Elias’s mom and her dad to get married.

Frederike and Shawn talk about where the idea for Binti came from and how she sought to humanize the issues surrounding immigration. They also discuss the kind of condescending vibe some people give off when it comes to kids’ films and how frustrating it can be.

While on the run, Binti meets Elias, a young boy who is working to save the okapi, the threatened “forest giraffe” native to the Congo. Their parents meet, and Binti realizes that a solution to her problems is right in front of her—all she needs to do is convince Elias’s mom and her dad to get married.

Frederike and Shawn talk about where the idea for Binti came from and how she sought to humanize the issues surrounding immigration. They also discuss the kind of condescending vibe some people give off when it comes to kids’ films and how frustrating it can be.

You can learn more about Frederike and her work at her website FrederikeMigom.com. You can also follow her on Instagram @FrederikeMigom.

FILM SYNOPSIS

Miles Davis: Horn player, bandleader, innovator. Elegant, intellectual, vain. Callous, conflicted, controversial. Magnificent, mercurial. Genius. The very embodiment of cool. The man with a sound so beautiful it could break your heart.

The central theme of Miles Davis's life was his restless determination to break boundaries and live life on his own terms. It made him a star—it also made him incredibly difficult to live with, for the people who loved him most. Again and again, in music and in life, Miles broke with convention—and when he thought his work came to represent a new convention, he changed it again. Miles's bold disregard for tradition, his clarity of vision, his relentless drive, and constant thirst for new experiences made him an inspiring collaborator to fellow musicians and a cultural icon to generations of listeners. It made him an innovator in music—from bebop to “cool jazz,” modern quintets, orchestral music, jazz fusion, rock ‘n’ roll, and even hip-hop.

Featuring never-before-seen archival footage, studio outtakes, and rare photos, Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool tells the story of a truly singular talent and unpacks the man behind the horn.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/17592559Wed, 10 Apr 2019 15:12:58 +0000The Nerd PartyShawn had the amazing privilege of sitting down with filmmaker Stanley Nelson, director of the new documentary Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool.

Along the way, they'll discuss why The Fast and the Furious franchise owes a great debt to the film, it's bromantic subject matter and whether or not Shawn enjoyed it as much as he hoped.

For the first Missing Frames episode of the new year, Sarah gets first movie pick, and in honor of the snowstorms and frigid weather that has graced the U.S., she chose the popular animated Disney flick Frozen, which Shawn has never seen. Believe it or not, Frozen is the highest grossing animated film of all time, and thanks to its memorable soundtrack and characters, it appears poised to go down as a classic. But is it really that good? Shawn and Sarah discuss what they liked/disliked about the movie and whether or not the soundtrack is its true star. This could indeed be the official FINAL word on Frozen, so don't miss it!

Joining him for this supercharged episode is fellow Nerd Partier and Fast and Furious fan John Mills. Tune in (up?) as they discuss this franchise's unique journey from moderately grounded Point Break ripoff to the insane blockbuster action series it has become. Will the epic car chases and Vin Diesel's rippling muscles make Shawn a convert or will he crash and burn? Hop in your Charger, crank up the volume (and the NOS) and ride or die with this new episode of Missing Frames.

Join Shawn and fellow Nerd Partier John Mills as they sit down for John's first-ever viewing of Before Sunrise. Along the way, they'll not only discuss the anxiety that comes with sharing a favorite movie with someone who's never seen it before, they'll also swap stories about past romances and discuss the importance of communicating and connecting with one another. Fingers crossed that the pair won't have to wait nine years before they reunite to discuss Before Sunset.

On March 6, 1987, the 'buddy cop' genre was refined to near-perfect with the Shane Black-penned, Richard Donner-helmed film Lethal Weapon. Starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover doing some of the best work of their careers, Lethal Weapon was a hit with critics and audiences and went on to spawn three, count 'em, THREE sequels. But while its action and humor is great, Lethal Weapon really works because of the relationship between its two main characters: Riggs and Murtaugh.

Join the Missing Frames crew as Alex watches this action classic for the first time, and they determine once and for all whether or not it qualifies as a Christmas movie.

So why not check out some Christmas movies our hosts have never seen? Released on December 1, 1989, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation was the third and final film written by the late, great John Hughes. While it received mixed reviews upon its release, its reputation has only grown through the years and it now rests comfortably in the annals of mandatory holiday viewing...for some more than others.

In 1998, Wes Anderson followed up his modest debut film Bottle Rocket with a work of absolute genius: Rushmore. With Rushmore, Anderson demonstrated the unique visual stylings, song choices and storytelling sensibilities that would become regular staples in his work and introduced the world to the wonderful Jason Schwartzman. It also marked the beginning of a long, fruitful collaboration between Anderson and Bill Murray.

Is there such a thing as ‘too many Gremlins?’ Shawn Eastridge and Alex Beard intend to find out with their first ever viewing of Gremlins.

Released in 1984, Gremlins was a major hit with audiences and critics. Along with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, it also ushered forth the PG-13 rating due to its somewhat violent nature. But while it might be a beloved Horror/Holiday film, how much of fans’ affection is due to nostalgia as opposed to the actual product? 

Having missed the Gremlins boat in their childhood, Shawn and Alex finally sit down to take a gander. Will it live up to the hype or should they have seen it as kids instead? Tune in and find out!
