Visually Stunning Movie Podcast

Adventure sports films/documentaries have become more and more popular as the technology to actually film some of these things has advanced. If the film cannot adequately convey the scope and hazard of the events, it doesn’t matter how compelling the human stories are behind them.

And in the end, these films are about the humans.

Now, NatGeo presents what may very well be the ultimate adventure:

Everest: The Other Side

110 Minutes, Rated PG-13

Directed by Jimmy Chin, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi

Synopsis:

An intimate portrait of two people bound by love, ambition, and the pursuit of the impossible. Elite ski mountaineers Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson fell deeply in love while reaching the pinnacle of their sport: Everest's north face.

Wow. Normally, documentaries are fairly predictable: present a thing and then, most of the time, opine on it according to your (the filmmaker's) beliefs.

But every once in a while, you get something... different.

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING

Directed by Nathan Fielder, Lance Oppenheim

Synopsis:

Thirty-four days before she's sent to prison, notorious Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move. What begins as an intimate portrait becomes a mind-bending three-year journey.

What is the one trying to say? Tag along as we try to figure it out.

2026 has been a pretty good year for low-budget, indie-type, horror films, with Obsession and Backrooms both bringing the heat earlier in the year.

Enter first-time director Alex Ullom, then, with his existential horror,

So, fun fact: this has been such a crazy year that I completely overlooked posting the panel I did with Craig Price at COMICPALOOZA this May.

It was a fun discussion on 4 films from 1986 - FORTY YEARS AGO.

We had countless choices, but these were the ones we went with. We discussed them on a stage in the middle of the show floor, last panel of the day, and at the end, well... you'll see (hear).

Enjoy this look back at "4 for 40."

172 Minutes, Rated R

Written by Christopher Nolan, Homer

Directed by Christopher Nolan

Synopsis:

So how is it, really?

Listen and find out, because it matters in terms of cinematic and critical honesty.

And we're nothing if not honest, so if that's what you're looking for, listen on.
