I used to say "I hate 1970s film, I think it's overrated." I was wrong on many counts, especially this one

One Battle After Another is far from PTA's best movie, but Dirty Work might be his best needledrop

@krismontello.bsky.social is back on Trylove to discuss Nobuhiko Ōbayashi’s almost cloyingly sweet, absolutely bonkers SCHOOL IN THE CROSSHAIRS (1981)!

Jim Jarmusch's DOWN BY LAW (1986) is a breezy character study wrapped in a prison break.

We discuss Tom Waits, Roberto Benigni, self-imposed isolation, and its deceptive simplicity on today's episode!

HIS MOTORBIKE, HER ISLAND (1986) was a big one for @trylovepodca.st years ago, despite not actually playing at the @trylon.org then.

Now it is!

This ep’s from the first couple months of the pandemic, and you can hear in our voices that it was weird times. But at least it was a nice distraction.

We covered HIS MOTORBIKE, HER ISLAND (1986) five years ago, when it seemed like nobody in the US had seen it.

Now that it’s playing at @trylon.org, we’ve republished our old episode. As a treat.

THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME (1983) is a different kind of time travel tale, rife with teen drama and melancholy, told in a way only HAUSU (1977) auteur Nobuhiko Ōbayashi could.

Here's our look at it!

Tatsuya Nakadai was a true legend and one of the last of his kind.

Obviously a standout among Kurosawa and Kobayashi's casts, but he also really tore up the screen as the lead, the villain, and occasionally both — like in Kihachi Okamoto's SWORD OF DOOM (1966).

Rest easy, king

In NIGHT OF THE JUGGLER (1980), an ex-cop chases a maniac with a grudge through a grimy Big Apple.

Part odyssey, part cultural document, all the late-'70s NYC you could ever want. Check out our episode on it!

Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo, 3rd officer reporting. The other members of the crew are dead. Cargo, ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about 6 weeks. With a little luck the network will pick me up. This is Cody, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off. Come on, cat

It’s Halloweentime and Halloween means DONNIE DARKO (2001).

We covered it earlier this year with @finnematic.bsky.social — check out our discussion on this moody, broody, “2000s emo kid” formative text!

I could tell this episode was really cooking when we got talking about Chris MacNeil as an actress, and how the demon’s whole thing is piercing the veil on people’s social and spiritual roles

Timelessly spooky, hopelessly terrifying, and maybe truly evil — no Halloween is complete without THE EXORCIST (1973).

We dug deep on Friedkin's classic in episode 354 (with a special appearance by @metallicaisrad.bsky.social)!

Had to pop onto Trylove really quick to try and explain how and why this movie means so much to me that I’d name my daughter (read: chihuahua) after Regan.
