They say love is a battlefield, and this week we get to see why. They also say that battlefield is a battlefield, and we get to see even more why. Actually, we don't because Ballad of a Soldier is about the effects of war away from the battlefield. It still has love in it, so at least it works on that level. They also say that love is a circus. Well, we say Send in the Clowns.... Intro - (00:00:00) Ballad of a Soldier - (00:02:43) In The Mood for Love - (00:22:43) Sweetie - (00:39:07) The Circus...

Apologies to Carl Dreyer, but he doesn't have the best showing in the latter half of his feature series here. Apparently we are the only two guys in the world who hate Gertrud! Sorry 'bout it! Bull Durham is an excellent palate cleanser for fans of America's Game and Kevin Costner's hind end. And Personal Shopper?

Carl Dreyer is the name of the game this week and next, and he's off to a damn good start! Your undergrad film professor knew his shit! You gotta respect the classics! ("respect" in the case of this podcast means Sean does a rap song) Try not to sound too surprised, but Anthony picks a black and white screwball comedy and Sean picks a Japanese movie about a weird guy going to hell.

Long live the new episode of Always See Everything. In perhaps their most true-to-form outing yet, Sean and Anthony spin their wheels on the worthwhile but unspectacular Billy Liar, wax philosophic about capitalism, religion, and DoorDash in discussing Salesman, and expose their respective souls through unrestrained, ebulliant gushing over an impossibly tightly scripted romantic drama and a gross movie about a weird guy contending with and ultimately becoming an electric demon.

Part 2 of our Showa era Godzilla series takes us on a real emotional roller coaster. The high adventure of Ebirah, Horror of the Deep and the destructive spectacle of Destroy All Monsters is offset by the...relative boringness of the Minilla-focused entries.

Our scheduled programming this week covers the collaborations between director Bruce Robinson and actor Richard E Grant, but that's not the main event here. It deeply saddens me to inform you that war has changed. Anthony and Sean's lingering tensions have finally come to a head, and they have declared open war on one another through their picks. Anthony is subjected to the insipid, overthought excess of Antichrist, while Sean must white-knuckle through the crusty, dusty Old Hollywood exemplar L...

In a week frontloaded with surprises, Sean and Anthony tackle the (decidedly NOT a silly one) Diary of a Chambermaid and meet in the middle on Preston Sturges' Sullivan's Travels. Ingmar Bergman steps his pussy up for the unmatched psychodrama Persona, and Dead Man ushers us into hell with Crispin Glover as the oil-stained boatman. Let's all sing a song Card: Blue Eyes White Dragon. That's right pussies! It's not always gonna be Magic! It will next week though, and most weeks after that Intro - ...

Anthony and permanent co-host Daisuke (who has been and will continue to be the permanent co-host for every episode) take on Eric Rohmer's Tales of Four Seasons, a quadrology of intimate human tales set against a nostalgia-infused cornucopia of seasonal aesthetics. It's basically the decalogue but there's only four and it's not Polish and it looks completely nothing like the Decalogue. No Sydney Sweeney lookalikes either. None that I noticed at least Stick around for a lovely discussion about th...

The season 2 double feature continues with the latter half of the Dekalog. Anthony makes friends with a crab. Sean finds the blue lagoon from Blue Lagoon, but Denise Richards is long since gone.

The guard's footsteps snap the prisoner from his sleep. He shakes his head free of his dreams of Stan Lee, of John Lennon, of Frenchmen and their Mise en scène...faint, now, and fading. The guard smirks through the bars. "Get yourself up. It's time." Silent observers of every creed and station encircle the courtyard, bound together in reverence as the prisoner is escorted to the gallows frame. The executioner extends his hand. The prisoner takes it. His killer's face is waxy and grave. Death's a...

Wow. Our final four films of the season. How far we've come. I'm sure we give them the respect they deserve and don't waste time talking about Rupaul's Drag Race. I don't remember if we actually do that or not, but statistically, it is highly likely. Anyway, we're doing documentaries this week! Sean's pick centers around one of history's minor monsters, while Anthony's triple header of Qatsi depicts the greatest monster of all...humankind. Woah. That was crazy.

This penultimate episode of ASE Season 1 sees Anthony and Sean engage in bloody battle with Jacques Tati, one of the most quirked up white boys to ever hail from the cursed kingdom of France. Marlene Dietrich's classic-style Hollywood biopic "The Scarlet Empress" is a temporary roadblock, but soon enough we're hooting and hollering through the abstract antics of Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, Mon Oncle, and Playtime. Anthony gets a chance to lavish praise on a fresh favorite while Sean's heart warms ...

Goddammit Tyler, that's the ONE thing I don't want anyone calling me!!!! Coup de Torchon poses a series of high-minded quandaries that Sean and Anthony may not be totally up to the task of dissecting, but Mona Lisa offsets that with enough bittersweet melodrama to get us hungry for more. Hollywood Shuffle's endearing goofiness and easy cleverness get us in a good enough mood to make it matter when Secret Sunshine rips our hearts right out.

If "learn about a new fetish partaken in exclusively by nasty old guys" is on your to do list, then have we got the episode for you! Sean goes absolutely loco for dark theatrical masterwork Double Suicide. We welcome Stanley Kubrick to the ASE fold, though we're less than excited to sit through all three hours of his worst movie. Night and Fog is only about 40 minutes long, and the subject matter is similarly breezy! Naked Lunch further complicates Anthony's feelings on David Cronenberg. We'll g...

Anthony and cohost Sean (Naughton) get to work finishing up the filmography of Samuel Fuller, perhaps best known for being totally ignored in favor of Max Landis in The Greatest Episode of all Time! The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie ushers us in with light whimsy before our Fuller triple header, which includes cold-war intrigue, sober diagnoses of racial politics, and a full clip of classic Western goodness.

So it's only fitting that we inaugurate the week with some funky ass white boys straight thuggin'! Tyler did not enjoy our opinions on the latter, but that's fine.
