21: Feminist Horror

In the latest attempt to adapt Shakespeare for modern audiences, Australian director David Michôd (The Rover) directs Timothée Chalamet in The King, a sort-of rewriting of Shakespeare's Henry IV Part 1 &amp; 2 and Henry V. The film is set in the original time period, but Shakespeare's language has been gutted, while his structure is preserved, in favour of modern English with the occasional "ye olde" touch. The script, written by Joel Edgerton (who stars as Falstaff) and Michôd, turns Falstaff into one of the stars of Henry V (instead of showing his death...) who goes to Agincourt with Hal. In this episode, we try to make sense of why Netflix's The King was made, who it's for, how it hews closely to some aspects of Shakespeare and veers wildly away from it, and why it made us so angry.

On Film Criticism with Lindsay Pugh

Kelly Reichardt has directed two films set in the 19th century American West, Meek's Cutoff and First Cow. To explore how she differs from the traditional Western genre, we compare her films with Oregon-set Bend of the River (1952) and cow film Red River (1948). Join Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney, Executive Editor Orla Smith, and Associate Editor Brett Pardy as along the way we also look at modern Westerns, the surprisingly long career of Stephen Meek, and somehow manage to link the genre to a site favourite who has never directed a Western.

Kelly Reichardt has directed two films set in the 19th century American West, Meek's Cutoff and First Cow. To explore how she differs from the traditional Western genre, we compare her films with Oregon-set Bend of the River (1952) and cow film Red River (1948). Join Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney, Executive Editor Orla Smith, and Associate Editor Brett Pardy as along the way we also look at modern Westerns, the surprisingly long career of Stephen Meek, and somehow manage to link the genre to a site favourite who has never directed a Western.

64: Lockdown Film School with Alice Winocour

I discovered the Seventh Row crew via their excellent Céline Sciamma ebook (essays and interviews with Sciamma and about her films) and found so much more. Great articles, ebooks galore, and this podcast? What a great resource. Must subscribe if you want to hear intelligent and insightful discussions on films.

Insightful film discussions

Great podcast covering feminist and Canadian cinema, featuring some super interesting guests. I especially recommend the episode about Women in Horror cinema. An interesting side effect of listening to this podcast is that I&#39;ve been turned on to a series of movies that I would never have known about/considered watching before.
