The Film Talk

By: Jett Loe and Gareth Higgins
  • Summary

  • Jett Loe & Gareth Higgins started talking about movies in 2006, and co-hosted a podcast for eight years. After a ten year break, they're back to discuss movies and the meaning of our lives - how we dream the world through cinema, what we can learn about life through the eyes of others, and how movies can help us get through hard times - and affirm us in the better ones.

  • Post Election - What to Watch
    Nov 21 2024

    Do you want to become part of someone else's happiness? In the wake of a potentially tumultuous U.S. Presidential Election Higgins and Loe address this as they recommend a bevy of films to help you go forward with purpose, and maybe a little joy Dear Listener. They highlight Hirokazu Koreeda’s brilliant film After Life, arguably Tim Burton’s best picture, Ed Wood, the prescient Paul Verhoeven movie Starship Troopers and more. Enjoy.

  • Conclave and Teri Garr
    Nov 9 2024

    We recorded this episode on Monday, November 5th, right before the U.S. Presidential Election Dear Listeners, yet, rather than seeming dated, it feels more timely than ever as we navigate choppy waters ahead. In this episode Jett and Gareth both revel in Conclave, a high-end, well-produced slice of the best cheese one can enjoy, that, interestingly, shows a potential way forward towards a more just and compassionate world, and reminisce about the wonderful performances of the late, (though still with us), Teri Garr. Along the way something near-miraculous happens to Jett at a screening. Enjoy.

  • Joker: Folie à Deux
    Oct 16 2024

    Why don’t film critics address the meaning of the movies they watch Dear Listener? We say enough with the horse race and the box office numbers. To that end, on this episode, Jett and Gareth get into what the new Joker film actually seems to be saying about human nature and the brokenness within it. Along the way Terrance Malick’s The Thin Red Line is referenced, Sidney Lumet’s magnificent The Verdict is invoked, a TikTok creator is recommended, science fiction classic Forbidden Planet is manifested and we realize we must all “first accept, then luxuriate”. Enjoy.
