The Film Talk

By: Jett Loe and Gareth Higgins
  • Summary

  • Jett Loe & Gareth Higgins started talking about movies in 2006, and co-hosted a podcast for eight years. After a ten year break, they're back to discuss movies and the meaning of our lives - how we dream the world through cinema, what we can learn about life through the eyes of others, and how movies can help us get through hard times - and affirm us in the better ones.

  • Wicked
    Dec 1 2024

    Wait, are you telling us the new musical smash Wicked contains seeds of transcendence that can help folks live a better life? Also, why does the film look so awful? In this, (as over-stuffed as Wicked), episode, critics Jett Loe and Gareth Higgins get into the magnificent and terribleness of this new film, address Star Wars epic Attack of the Clones, yearn for the colors of 1938’s Adventures of Robin Hood and delve deep into the ways we live our life and the Jungian tension of opposites. We hope you enjoy, and don't forget to look for us in the western sky.

  • Post Election - What to Watch
    Nov 21 2024

    Do you want to become part of someone else's happiness? In the wake of a potentially tumultuous U.S. Presidential Election Higgins and Loe address this as they recommend a bevy of films to help you go forward with purpose, and maybe a little joy Dear Listener. They highlight Hirokazu Koreeda’s brilliant film After Life, arguably Tim Burton’s best picture, Ed Wood, the prescient Paul Verhoeven movie Starship Troopers and more. Enjoy.

  • Conclave and Teri Garr
    Nov 9 2024

    We recorded this episode on Monday, November 5th, right before the U.S. Presidential Election Dear Listeners, yet, rather than seeming dated, it feels more timely than ever as we navigate choppy waters ahead. In this episode Jett and Gareth both revel in Conclave, a high-end, well-produced slice of the best cheese one can enjoy, that, interestingly, shows a potential way forward towards a more just and compassionate world, and reminisce about the wonderful performances of the late, (though still with us), Teri Garr. Along the way something near-miraculous happens to Jett at a screening. Enjoy.
