A storm is coming. Peely and Jonesy squad up to take on the Archers' vintage rom-com I Know Where I'm Going, the Sirkified soap opera Written on the Wind, and vent their repressed rage through the subtly demonic To Sleep With Anger and Twitter(formerly X) dot com favorite 12 Angry Men. Sean''s' Card of the Week this Week Is: Fable of the Mirror Breaker!

We hope everyone enjoyed The Big Game! I'm sure my Chiefs won! If I'm wrong it's legal to kill me! Fiend without a Face is an old-style creature feature that doesn't impress, but Black Narcissus wastes no time in inducting Powell and Pressburger into the shortlist for our hall of fame. Something Wild rides the line between Blue Velvet and something else I can't really think of. Manila in the Claws of Light depicts an average day of mine when I'm in the Claws of Light. This is the first episode o...

One of Sean's favorite films clashes with one of Anthony's favorite American political figures, with a Brian De Palma joint and a solid (if conventional) western bearing witness to this clash between two worlds... This week made me think about how much I love cinema. Just a rogues gallery of styles, techniques, genres...this, to me, is what the podcast is all about. If you have any interest in visual art, you should try to have periods where you expose yourself to works as diverse as these. Than...

Anthony prepares a very special surprise for us this week, giving some sorely-needed Lin Manuel Miranda style flair to a triple header of Sergei Eisenstein's most iconic work! We concur that Alexander Nevsky is propaganda done right, while Ivan the Terrible parts I and II showcase the tragic chad-to-warlock pipeline. Pygmalion finishes us off in more ways than one, but not in a nasty way. I guess I should clarify what I mean by that so no one gets the wrong idea: it finishes off the week, but al...

We've got a nice eclectic mix this week on Always See Everything. We approach Fellini's Variety Lights with mixed feelings, but The Harder They Come brings up the tempo. Yasujiro Ozu puts up a solid second outing with Good Morning, and The Blob finshes us off with an extravaganza of incredible practical effects, a whip-smart script, and a perfect sense of balancing the charms of 50's sci-fi with the advances in storytelling technology that we've honed over the intervening deca-oh fuck, never min...

The undisputed. The undeniable. Ladies and gentleman, the wait is over. WC Fields has arrived. In our most anticipated outing yet, we tackle the greatest works of this giant of the medium, this titan of comedy, this deity of all things entertainment. I won't waste your time by struggling to capture the enormity of his achievements in the feeble trappings of the written word: this simply needs to be seen to be believed. We also watched Police Story 2 and Limelight. Sean's' Card of the Week This W...

If you like Pokemon and semen, boy do I have an episode for you! Anthony and Sean's respective reactions to The Element of Crime are so in character as to make the discussion a formality. And God Created Woman gives us so little to talk about that we are FORCED at GUNPOINT to think about using Ditto as a...I won't say it here. You can just listen to the thing. I totally forgot that we watched Notorious this week. Straw Dogs is nasty and makes us feel icky :) Sean's' Card of the Week This Week is...

Watch along with the episode on YouTube here! The harrowing finale to a year of thrills, chills and spills. Anthony invokes the Nostalgia Critic. Sean learns the true meaning of Christmas and Star Wars. Itchy jacks off. Tyler reckons with The Mind Of George. And Boba Fett. Featuring cameos from Björk, Stan Lee, and George Lucas, a reading of an exclusive leaked script, and a roundtable discussion of the edibility of Star Wars characters, this final episode of the year has everything you love abo...

It's quite a grab bag this week as we mix Kevin Smith, David Lean, martial arts, and Yugoslvian sex cinema. You know what they say, four great tastes that taste great together! Everybody always says that, especially about these specific four tastes! Our ostensible review of Chasing Amy is much more focused on a psychoanalytic deconstruction of Kevin Smith, but we pull it together for the gothic melancholy of Brief Encounter. W.R.: Mysteries of the organism mostly goes over our heads, so it's a n...

If there's something strange...in your neighborhood...it's probably a young woman reckoning with her inevitable death and decay/mirroring the flaws and hypocrisies of her society/discovering her sexuality/contextualizing the art of filmmaking and creativity in general as a disruptive and collaborative process over the course of three hours and ten minutes. Anthony and very special guest Björk Guðmundsdóttir embrace their feminine sides this week as they induct Agnes Varda into the ASE Platinum P...

UUUUUUuuuuugggghhhh, GOD. Another week of this crap? I hate movies so much man. I'm going to go insane someday and something terrible is going to happen and it'll be everyone else's fault. Ingmar Bergman channels the magic of the stage to unleash upon us the vibrant and musical The Magic Flute! Le Million offsets its natural Frenchness by innovating the screen musical! Thief is cool! It's so cool! And Shallow Grave!?!? Ah, Mon Ami, the twists and turns! The thrills! the chills! The Spills! There...

This week, it's a straight shot through spines 66-70 as we tackle the various pretensions of Jean Cocteau's Orphic Trilogy before squaring up in single combat against the son of God himself! Blood of a Poet begins us on a delightful journey of impeccable effects and fairy-tale whimsy, and the roller coaster peaks with Cocteau's reimagining of the Orpheus myth. By Testament of Orpheus we're a little worn down, but thankfully Scorsese' Last Temptation of Christ is there to scoop us up and take us ...

"Ah! I'm late!" Sean blasts into the street on his bike, seifuku and mouth-toast billowing in the wind. So focused is he on making it to the first day of class at Stan Lee Memorial High that he neglects to look around the corner as he turns-and slams straight into Oleszkiewicz-senpai! Ahn, how embarrassing! But the upperclassman is gracious, and assures the frantic Sean that no harm was done...just as he notices a Pulp Fiction pin on his Kouhai's backpack. (This is the official canonical origin ...

We are breaking new ground this week. Finally, after 30 episodes, we decide to go where no movie podcast has ever gone before, and cover a black and white film (or four). Yes, we know, they’re OLD and BORING, but through our incredible cinematic insight we allow you to parse the hidden value of these dusty, crusty old relics of cinema’s past. Take our hand, we have such sights to show you… The Passion of Joan of Arc teaches us how close ups show, like, emotion and stuff, while Carnival of Souls ...

The leaves they are a-falling, the wind it is a-chilling, and the ASE boys are bringing in the season with some autumnal cinema! Autumn Sonata sees a Bergman crossover the likes of which have never been seen, while Life of Brian affords both hosts the ability to flex their knowledge of the good book. Our selections double down on the pumpkin spice spooky season vibes: the rich color and sweeping melodrama of All that Heaven Allows pairs with the delightfully devilish (and shockingly girlboss) Ha...

Like magicians bisecting their lovely assistant, we’re splitting this week's ep in half! Horror is the name of the game this time, and on the ASE feed we’ve recruited Brent and Dan of Shriek Previews to help us talk about two of our favorites: Nobuhiko Obayashi’s House and Frank Capra’s Arsenic and Old Lace. We get down to business with plenty of discussion about what makes a horror movie and whether the genre doesn't get enough credit in the collection…until we get bored of that and start talki...

We broadcast this episode from our deathbeds as we recall the halcyon days when we would climb inside a little wet portal, engage in thrilling spy adventures with Cary Grant in tow, and also talk about movies or whatever. Hitchcock continues to whelm us with “spy” “”thriller”” the 39 steps, which we don't…hate? Charade picks up the pace quite a bit, much to our surprise and delight, all for Benjamin Button to come in and derail the vibe with his weird little old baby body. Being John Malkovich p...

The venerable General Sean E. Lee inducts this pioneering episode where we explore the frontiers of space, the human heart, the American West, and the depths of evil itself. We ooh and aah at the sights and sounds of Al Reinert's record of man's trip to the moon in For All Mankind, and then hem and haw over our feelings for Philip Kaufman's romantic epic The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Ride With the Devil takes us deeper into Ang Lee's filmography on the back of a (perhaps miscast) Tobey Magu...

Sword Saint Sean of the Tiger Knee Yozansen school holds court with the ronin Anthony, who swiftly disembowels himself due to the humiliation of mispronouncing every Japanese word he comes across. Thankfully, we’re able to get him patched up and we have a lovely discussion about four samurai classics! Our fealty to lord Kurosawa doesn't stop us from feeling lukewarm about Yojimbo and Sanjuro. The Sword of Doom cleaves us right down the middle, with Sean maintaining it as a masterpiece and Anthon...

It's business as usual with Anthony and Tyler, the co-hosts of Always See Everything, as they tackle a quadruple dose of Terry Gilliam to close out another director spotlight! There's another guy there too, but don't worry too much about him. We REALLY wish Jabberwocky was Holy Grail instead, and boy do we let you guys know it. We perk up for Brazil, widely seen as Gilliam’s best, though Anthony apparently isn't so sure. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen endures comparisons to Spongebob and One...

We thought this was going to be a short one, we swear. A mentally exhausted Anthony teams up with the Liberator of Rubicon to power through two pivotal Fellinis in the heartbreaking Nights of Cabiria and the Augustus Gloop-featuring And the Ship Sails On. Buster Keaton’s The Cameraman does a good job speaking for itself, so we mainly just talk about the monkey, because we know what good fucking radio is. We then immediately forget what good radio is as we go absolutely beast mode raving about Ol...

With Anthony fresh off the physical and mental torture that is the Always See Everything 4D Experience ™ and Sean freshly unemployed, the fellas are more than ready to stumble their way through another banger of a week! Black Orpheus serves up the classic combo of delightful dance parties and post-colonial guilt while Insomnia hooks us with the icy thrills only a true Nordic procedural can provide. Chungking Express tortures Sean with how much he almost loves it, and then Sean tortures Anthony w...

Anthony and Sean roll critical successes on their “talk about movie” checks on this very special, Mountain Dew Gamefuel sponsored episode of everyone’s favorite Stan Lee commemoration podcast. That's right, family game is underway, so pick your piece and get ready to play! No, not the thimble, that's mom’s. She always picks the thimble. Come on man. What The Most Dangerous Game lacks in thrills, intrigue, and run time, it apparently makes up for in, apparently, literacy? Taste of Cherry is an ev...

Grab your best rod, don that khaki vest with all the little pockets, and get ready to ignore your wife’s increasingly frantic texts to come home, because this week on Always See Everything the boys are gone fishin’! Their first catch is Peter Brook’s adaptation of Lord of the Flies, featuring an all star cast of grade-A child actors. Fishing with John is next on the line, the first and last TV show we will deign to cover on the main feed of our MOVIE podcast. Next, we reel in The Fisher King, wh...

Hark and forsooth! This week we tackle the contributions of one of the deftest and most masterful artists in the history of the English language, whose immortal wit and technical perfection have set the standard for his medium forevermore…and also Shakespeare too, I guess. We come out the gate with Armageddon, which features a stacked cast helmed in part by perhaps Steve Buscemi's most evil character ever. Next is back-to-back Laurence Olivier with Henry V, much to the delight of Shakespeare fan...

After disposing of their Loopers, stealing clothes from hoodlums, and finally completing a flow chart of what happens in Primer, the ASE boys are ready to learn what Pitbull meant when he said “to understand the future we have to go back in time.” Sean’s battle with the British continues in the equal parts whimsical and distressing Time Bandits, followed by a check in with our good friend Seijun Suzuki doing what he does best: making weird movies about cool assassins. Journey to the Beginning of...

From Sex-revenant Stan Lee to rage comics, we’re playing the hits this episode! Sean’s battle with the French continues as we cover the classic girlboss thriller, Diabolique. Then, we get another Clouzot (for the boys this time) with the classic guyboss thriller Wages of Fear! The double dose of black and white French movies is a little much, so we return to our roots with some good old fashioned American Coen brothers fare. Miller’s Crossing teaches us the dangers of mixing the Irish and the It...

Getting a little too toasty this summer? Well, Always See Everything is here to cool you off with some of the Criterion Collection's iciest offerings...that was the plan, at least. We frankly overestimated the amount of snow in some of these, but they're still (mostly) pretty great! We struggle to find much to say about the proto-documentary Nanook of the North, but things pick up with the quiet majesty of Andrei Rublev, our first Tarkovsky! Following that benchmark, The Ice Storm jumpscares us ...

This week, Anthony and Sean are hitting the books as they tackle some literary adaptations! Channeling every cent of student debt their English majors saddled them with, they start with David Lean’s Great Expectations and Oliver Twist for some good old fashioned British whimsy, lightly seasoned with anti-semitism (from the movie, not the hosts). Next up is the (very) loosely Henry IV/V based My Own Private Idaho, where we learn that APPARENTLY Sean isn't on the same page as everyone else when it...
