Next Podcast... Geekfest 2005

For our listeners whose tastes tend to be more mainstream, the movies up for discussion on the next podcast (see 'Upcoming Podcasts' on the right) will likely provoke a collective, "Huh??" But let's be honest, do you really care to hear what we have to say about "The Amityville Horror" remake, which, sadly, is the only big studio movie opening this weekend? We didn't think so. And let's face it, Sam and I are geeks. The opportunity to see a Jean-Luc Godard classic ("Masculine Feminine") for the first time on the big screen is too good to pass up... and when one film ("Eros") features three directors who are arguably among the greatest in cinema -- Wong Kar-wai, Steven Soderbergh, and Michaelangelo Antonioni -- it's going to pique our curiosity. Regrettably, I'm not going to get a chance to see "Eros" before we record the show, but Sam will be able to provide his take.

For the Top 5 segment, our initial thought was to come up with our lists of the Sexiest Movies ever as a tie in to "Eros." But for some reason we both really struggled with that. Instead, Sam suggested we do our Top 5 Relationship Movies. A couple of stipulations: The stories have to revolve around an actual relationship. The movie can't be about relationships, the differences between men and women, looking for love, etc... So I'm excluding "Before Sunset/Sunrise" from the discussion. Also, the couple(s) cannot be married -- that's another list for another time, perhaps.

Which movies would make your list? Email us your suggestions or leave a voice-mail at 206-203-CINE (2463).

The podcast will be up Saturday night.
