Show Notes

YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS, A NEW EPISODE OF CINEPUNX COMES RAGING AT YOU WITH SOME ITALIAN CINEMA MADNESS! Friends, thank you yet again for joining us on our meandering and pleasant stroll through cinema past and present, with detours on the way through music, pop culture, and life!

Some time ago we took our first furtive steps down the winding path of the filmography of Federico Fellini! That episode with good friend of the show Heidi Saman is a great episode and can be found HERE but while we did cover 3 films, it was not the end of our journey, and it did not cover every aspect of Fellini as a figure and director.

We really loved this movie, but we also struggle with it and I hope take seriously the questions of how confessional art can absolve creators, and in what ways a work can even obscure the intentions of the creator. We are no experts of course, so please be patient with us! As usual we also do our usual Wack and On Track gimmick, but I don't think we discuss anything you need links for! It was great to catch up with Josh and we promise to have a new episode to you as soon as we can. If you have any concerns, questions, or comments email us or hit us up on socials!

You already know this but just a reminder that we appreciate you so so much!

Thanks for listening, spend some time checking out our Patreon, and of course check out the family of shows available at Cinepunx.com.

You can hardly believe it but those stalwart boys of Cinepunx are back! On this explosive new episode we get into it on two classic films we should have seen already, but somehow had not: Apocalypse Now and Platoon. We specifically watched the redux edition of Apocalypse Now if that matters to you, which I had not seen before now. Despite some reservations about the style of these movies, some of the narrative decisions, and the method they were made, we were mostly blown away by these movie.

BACK TOGETHER AND IT FEELS SO GOOD! Hey friends, welcome to our new episode as we check in on the cinema of today! Basically, we are working to try and record more, and I would LOVE to blame Josh but in reality scheduling has been hard for both of us. Episode is still super good, so no worries, but yes, it is a bit of a catch up so we have something to put out. Still love you though
