Our short series on the films of Nobuhiko Ōbayashi closes with THE ISLAND CLOSEST TO HEAVEN (1984), which was literally the friends we made along the way.

@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!

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 VFX artist on this shot had cancer during production, and snuck out of the hospital to finish it on time.

Recalling it later, Ōbayashi remarked that "What film does is give eternity to things made by mortal human beings."

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).

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!

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!

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)!

“Wicker Dan" Nagan (@adapperdanman.bsky.social) is back for some wicky, witchy fun with THE WICKER MAN (1973)!

Yes, the original! Fewer bees, but more self-imposed chastity and insidious power imbalances. Check it out!

Trylon volunteer and regular Louis Gagnon makes his Trylove debut with ROSEMARY’S BABY (1968)!

An absolutely seminal work of domestic horror and a haunted movie in its own right, it's hard to deny its impact today. Tune in!

No ghosts here — just special guest Tony Wagner! Back to help us dissect another movie compromised by studio meddling: Michael Mann’s very weird THE KEEP (1983)!

Is it a Mannsterpiece of vibecraft or a cult clunker?
