Welcome back to episode five of Talking Pictures!
Tonight’s show saw Dave and I take another respite from Letterboxd’s lauded list of films and talk the complete works of one of the preeminent filmmakers of our generation, Jonathan Glazer.
We went chronologically, first basking in 2000’s “Sexy Beast,” then experiencing 2004’s “Birth,” later shedding our layers for 2013’s “Under the Skin,” and finally residing in 2023’s “The Zone of Interest.”
We hope you enjoy the show!

🚨 Episode 3 has dropped! 🚨
On tonight’s episode, we warmly welcome Corwynne Peterson to the show! A fellow acting schoolmate of Dave’s and a hugely talented one at that, @corwynnepeterson is the perfect guest to talk about our four movies tonight.
First, after some breaking news and birthday wishes, we checked in to a Californian Airbnb to check on our favorite snail not named Turbo and check out the Jenny Slate vehicle “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On,” no. 220 on Letterboxd’s Official Top 250 Narrative Feature Films List.
Then, we crossed the Pacific to muse about two classics of Asian cinema: Wong Kar-wai’s vividly drenched-in-red and atmospheric romance “In the Mood for Love” and Hirokazu Kore-eda’s 2018 wayward soulscape “Shoplifters,” numbered 54 and 143, respectively.
Last and certainly not least, Dave, Corwynne, and I spoke on Corwynne’s selection for the night, the Great Depression-era father-daughter caper “Paper Moon,” the Ryan and Tatum O’Neal masterpiece coming in at 104 on the List.
Hope you enjoy the show!

Welcome back to the show! 🎬
On tonight’s episode, the first of Season 2, Dave and I were joined by the very talented and creative Sarah Morrison-Cleary! After birthday wishes and breaking news, the three of us first tackled “High and Low,” the Akira Kurosawa kidnapping caper from 1963 and No. 6 movie on Letterboxd’s Official Top 250 Narrative Feature Films list.
Next, we reveled in Charles Laughton’s performance in Billy Wilder’s and 1957’s thrilling courtroom procedural “Witness for the Prosecution,” listed at No. 97, before musing on the highly imaginative and interpretative “Cure,” Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s meditation on crime and psychology from 1997, ranked No. 201.
Lastly, Sarah had the honor of choosing one of her favorite films, the No. 164 film “The Night of the Hunter,” for the final movie of the night, which sparked far too much discussion on the use of prosthesis in cinema in 1955.
Hope you enjoy the episode!
