The Princes Of Cinema

Today's episode celebrates our favorite Transylvanian friends: VAMPIRES. The Princes are joined by pal and confidant Chris Madden to discuss F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu , Carl Dreyer's Vampyr , and, most importantly, Teeth: A Monstrous Musical Comedy  - a play Tim, Chris, and Bill wrote together and performed in 2007.  Let's be honest. This is a beast of an episode clocking at almost 3 hours long, but we boldly proclaim IT'S WORTH IT. We dig deep into the process of writing and producing a musical and the friendship that was strengthened along the way. We had too much fun recording this insanely self-indulgent episode. Join us, won't you? You can watch the full show by searching Teeth: A Monstrous Musical Comedy on YouTube or go directly to this link: https://youtu.be/d5SoAjEliSA

On today's spooky, Halloween themed episode, we are joined by writer, comedian, and horror aficionado Johnna Scrabis to discuss 1955 Thriller,   The Night of the Hunter.  Direct by Charles Laughton and starring Robert Mitchum, this highly acclaimed film, #26 on the Sight & Sound Directors Poll, gets a dressing down by The Princes of Cinema. We came to be scared, not watch a well-shot Huckleberry Finn. Join us for a discussion of the point of horror films, what scares us, and how this movie could have been better.  Please check out Johnna's hilarious podcast @ MeanBookClub

For the very first time, The Princes of Cinema are joined by a guest, NY Comedian Patrick Keene, to discuss Ingmar Bergman's 1957 classic film,  The Seventh Seal. Join us for a lighthearted romp into the world of the Black Plague, fully living life despite the fear of impending death, and existential questions about the silence of God. Let's party!

We are please to present the debut episode of The Princes of Cinema. We have fittingly rebranded as royalty and are discussing Jean Renoir's 1939 satirical French film about aristocrats living frivolously on the brink of WWII. Once booed, now praised as one of the greatest films ever made, The Rules of the Game is basically Downton Abbey about the French in the 30s.  Remember: "The awful thing about life is this: everyone has their reasons."

This is our maiden voyage into the ocean of classic film. We discuss Italian director Federico Fellini's 1960 film about night life, paparazzi, and all things Rome. Benvenuto!
