Podcast Episode 18.5 - The Neverending Story / In the Line of Fire

Boy, oh boy! In this episode of the podcast, Phil and I take a little trip down memory lane and discuss two prominent films from our youth directed by Wolfgang Peterson - The Neverending Story and In the Line of Fire . The former, of course, is a classic children's film that will be familiar to nearly everyone who grew up in the 80s. Join us as we discuss how much we both love this film, lament the overuse of CGI in modern cinema, and listen as I butcher the hell out of the theme song. You can download the podcast here by right-clicking on that link and choosing "save as", or you can use the convenient player located below: Oh, childhood. Gesundheit! In our discussion of In the Line of Fire , the classic 90s thriller starring Clint Eastwood and John Malkovich, our discussion ranges from lingering crushes on Rene Russo to the joy of seeing this film (and others) in 70mm to the seeming dearth of quality thrillers being made these days. It'll be a fun discussion, and we invite you to take part by commenting in the comments section below or hopping on over to our Facebook page to start the discussion there. We'll see you next time around, when we'll be discussing the controversial film presently garnering a great deal of praise and a great deal of cash, Zero Dark Thirty . We'll also be having a look-see at Ingmar Bergman's The Magician over in The Criterion Corner. The film is new to both of us, and as great fans of Bergman's work, we think it will likely be a pretty interesting discussion. See you then!
