Trailer to the 4K restoration of Shinji Somai’s The Friends (1994)

4K Restoration. It’s the dog days of summer vacation. Up to no good, a group of three wily young friends discover a decrepit house and the old coot who lives there all alone. They begin to spy on him, expecting to find his corpse when he dies, but as they learn the sad story behind his present wretchedness, the boys develop a touching bond with the old-timer. They even help replant his overgrown garden. Shinji Somai’s follow-up to his acclaimed Moving is a comic spectacle filled with movement and play and a stirring contemplation on time’s ravages and delights. Evoking his other preteen, anarchist masterpieces like P.P. Rider, the film is another testament to Somai’s singular ability to evoke the unruly world of children, using his boundary-hopping long takes to stir up the energies of a raucous ensemble of first-time performers.

Director's Trailer to Radu Jude’s Dracula (2025)

A Dracula film made in Transylvania. What does it contain? A vampire hunt. Zombies and Dracula crashing a strike. A science-fiction story about Vlad the Impaler coming back. An adaptation of the first Romanian vampire novella. A love story. A montage film reusing a classic vampire film. A vulgar folktale. AI-generated kitsch stories. And many delights in a film dealing with this cinema myth.

This very special episode of the podcast is dedicated to the late great Michael Madsen who passed away recently. We are Joined by Quentin Tarantino and Jules McLean to talk about Madsen and for this show Quentin prepared a list of 10 performances from Madsen (film and TV) that he loves (and that don't come from any of his own films). We talk about all of them and what made Michael so special. A wonderful tribute to an incredible actor that we will all miss.

PCP's 2020 special with Madsen remains one of my favourite podcast episodes of all time. (It may also be, for technical reasons out of their control, one of the worst sounding podcast episodes of all time.) Madsen is in garrulous form, firing through anecdote after anecdote, drunk on life and utterly overjoyed to be sitting there having endured some unspecified health problem. Through the stories of his early acting career and period of '90s stardom he would soon be catapulted into, you can practically hear his smile beaming ear to ear. At one point he breaks down in tears, recalling how grateful he is that it all worked out for him.

Do note that this, being a Tarantino episode, runs 3 hours and 43 minutes.
