The Playlist Podcast Network

On this seventh episode of our TV podcast, host Kimber Myers chats with Playlist editor-in-chief Rodrigo Perez about Netflix's "Master of None."

Joe and Erik open the show with brief appreciations for the return of both Master of None and Twin Peaks. After that, they discuss at length Ridley Scott's latest entry in his Alien prequel series, Alien: Covenant. Even though the film underwhelmed at the box office, and received mix responses from critics, there's a lot to discuss. Even though we don't really spoil much at all, this episode is still probably best for those who've already watched Alien: Covenant.

Oktay and Ryan use the intentionally schlocky 'Sharknado' and the noble failure of 'Samurai Cop' to dive into a discussion about what truly makes a great "so-bad-it's-good" movie.

Joe and Erik discuss director Richard Kelly, focusing on his first two films Donnie Darko and Southland Tales.

Interview with filmmaker and actor Joanna Arnow.

Joe and Erik open with more talk of repertory cinema, in this case the recent 4K restoration of Donnie Darko currently playing in some arthouses around the country (and also getting a gorgeous new blu-ray release from Arrow Video). From there, a recommendation to see The Lost City Of Z in a theater, and soon. The majority of this episode is broken in two parts: a review of AYT favorite Ben Wheatley's latest, Free Fire. Also, the joys of listening to David Lynch talk, specifically in the new documentary about him, The Art Life.

Ryan Oliver, Kimber Myers, and Joe von Appen discuss "The Fast and the Furious" series and how it has endured for 16 years. We also give our thoughts on "The Fate of the Furious" and discuss where the series might go from here.

Ryan Oliver and Playlist Editor-in-Chief Rodrigo Perez briefly dissect the "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" trailer before moving into a discussion about Netflix, Cannes, and the theatergoing experience.
