KMUW Movie Club: Good Things Come In Threes

On this month's KMUW Movie Club, it's all about classroom shenanigans and hittin' the road. For some reason, I have this thing for unlikable characters. I find enjoyment out of pushing myself far enough to empathize with them. The more unlikable, the better. "Election," and by extension, most of Alexander Payne's films, has characters that fit this bill. Tracy Flick and Mr. McAlister are the types of people you would never want to meet in real life, but they do exist, and they are closer to you than you think. "School of Rock" features a fantastic performance from Jack Black but, of course, the script from Mike White is also impeccable. Black's character grows by the end of the film but he doesn't trade any of his passion or wide-eyed attitude in the process. The cast, top to bottom, is great, and the songs--especially the ones Black sings to and with the kids--are sweet and hilarious. For nearly 20 years, I've watched "Rushmore" when I feel like something is missing. It gives me that

KMUW Movie Club: Hittin' Books And Roads

The 4th of July is right around the corner, and in honor of the patriotic holiday, the KMUW Movie Club came together to talk about their favorite films with "America" in the title.

Questionable Indulgences And Pertinent Issues

It's a new year, and with it comes an opportunity to transform yourself--but what if that transformation goes horribly wrong? This month, the KMUW Movie Club discusses their favorite films about gross and twisted physical transformations. Speaking of transformation, an organization that is currently going through one is the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Oscar nominations came out a couple of weeks ago, and the KMUW Movie Club is running down the list to give you their thoughts and predictions. WARNING: ALL OF THESE CLIPS ARE REALLY GROSS. I've heard Re-Animator described as a horror movie "with the courage of its convictions." I really appreciate how it doesn't hold back AT ALL, and how funny it is without too much winking at the audience. Also, it's super disgusting. John Carpenter's The Thing puts its audience in a claustrophobic expedition site set against a backdrop of a vast and frozen wilderness. With a stellar special effects crew, Carpenter was able to help

A New Year, A Horrific New You

As 2015 ends, KMUW's Jedd Beaudoin, Fletcher Powell and Hugo Phan have gathered to discuss their favorite movies of the year. Every once in a while, we discover films that flew right by us when they came out. In a bonus (and longer) segment, the KMUW Movie Club discusses their favorite film(s) they saw in 2015 that didn't exactly come out this year. Do you want to know why you uncontrollably cry during certain Pixar movies? Inside Out is the movie that might offer some answers. Through the eyes of an 11-year-old girl and her anthropomorphized emotions, Pixar elegantly stresses the limits of joy and how important sadness is in our lives. This is the most bonkers movie, possibly of all time. I still can't believe what I saw. This is a worthy companion to director George Miller's true masterpiece, Babe: Pig In The City. The End of the Tour is really a two-man show with Jason Segel as the late David Foster Wallace and Jesse Eisenberg as Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky. It’s the story
