Time Sensitive

We dive in to the movies that first introduced us to film, the Disney Channel Original Movies or DCOMs for short. With this week's episode we go through a long list of movies from the 90's to the mid-2000's making sure to touch on all the classics. Get ready for a real nostalgia bomb.

You voted, and we listened. Selected by popular vote in our recent poll, our newest review is a dissection of "Late Night" starring Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling.

We are beyond excited to introduce a new series on #TimeSensitive. Tune in for the first "On the Clock" mini episode featuring Emily Loeks, Director of Community Affairs for Celebration Cinema by Studio C - one of the largest theater chains in the Midwest United States. Sam, Kate, and Ian sat down with Emily at the brand new Celebration Cinema (Studio Park) in Downtown Grand Rapids (before it opens to the public). We spoke about the history of metropolitan cinema in Grand Rapids, the power of story, and Emily's love for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. You won't want to miss it.

Banned in it's home country of Kenya. Embraced by the world. Tune in as the Time Sensitive panel reviews its first foreign language film: Wanuri Kahiu's "Rafiki". Meaning "friend" in Swahili, "Rafiki" shows what happens when love is tested by political rivalry, religious persecution, and targeted violence - forcing a choice between happiness and safety.

We all have one. Those movies you are ashamed to admit you've never seen. The Time Sensitive gang is hear to open up, be honest and share 3 movies they have never seen. The good news is that each will commit to watching one to cross it off their list of shame.

This week we take a deep dive in to our second documentary. Rolling Thunder Revue covers the time Bob Dylan spends on tour in 1975. You can find this Martin Scorsese directed film on Netflix.

If all people are six or fewer connections away from each other, tracing links between Hollywood stars shouldn't be hard, right? What about if you are given two randomly-selected celebrities and forced to link them through their movie roles in less than 60 seconds? Well, our panel attempted that very feat in our newest mini episode. Tune in as Sam, Kate, and Ian hilariously stumble through the Six-Degrees Challenge.

Heists! We dive in to the star studded cast of Steve McQueen's Widows. After being high on Ian's Top Movies of 2018 we get a chance to hear what Kate and Sam thought of this action/heist/drama/political thriller. Once you take a listen reach out to us and let us know what you thought of Widows.

You had to know this was coming. So many of you have been asking about Kate's health since Sony dropped the "Little Women" trailer this week. Well, she's seen it... and we recorded her immediate reaction. Tune in for our mini episode devoted to Greta Gerwig, Jo March, french silk, the elusive Bob Odenkirk, and the boyish charm of Timothée Chalamet.

Experience the impossible journey to the Moon. Join us as we review Damien Chazelle's out-of-this-world "First Man" starring Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy. Does Chazelle make a giant leap after winning best director for the ground breaking musical La La Land or does Houston have a problem? More jokes like that in this week's episode.

Sam and Ian are throwing a dinner party with some of Hollywood's biggest names, which one would Kate choose to crash? Take a listen and find out!

Friendship is a trip. What happens when six middle-aged women who have been friends for decades gather in Napa for a celebratory weekend away? You guessed it: mishaps, mayhem, revelations, and a lot of wine. Join #TimeSensitive as we laugh along with the directorial debut of Amy Poehler, "Wine Country".

We all have them. "Those" movies. The ones we will never (nevah), ever (evah), under any circumstances, watch again. Movies so bad or so inept that we can't imagine wasting another minute of our lives watching them. Movies we've walked out of, turned off, or even worse, miserably sat through their entirety. Does one of your favorites make the list? (Excuse the fireworks going off in the background)

We take a dive in to Brady Corbet's most recent film Vox Lux on this week's episode. Heavy discussion on the plot, technical choices and critical reception of this shocking and disturbing journey of a rising pop star. For such a divisive movie, we would love to hear what you think, reach out to us on social media.

The Time Sensitive crew searched for some news in the world of Hollywood and each came prepared with an article that we found interesting. Sam's Article: https://www.theringer.com/movies/2019/6/21/18692782/mark-hamill-childs-play-chucky-voice-actor-batman-joker-animated-series @AlanSiegelDC

Can a single performance make a great movie? We ask this question of Maggie Gyllenhaal's performance in Sara Colangelo's The Kindergarten Teacher. We also try to figure out what makes poetry good and there is a surprising Sam Slam revelation. Check the movie out on Netflix and then join us for a chat.

This week's episode we dive in to those rituals you have when making that trip to the movie theater. What snacks to do you have? Where do you sit? How do you choose which movie to see? This and more questions answered on Time Sensitive.

Started as a short and turned in to a feature length movie. The 2018 SXSW Grand Jury Winner, Thunder Road, is the subject of conversation this time around. Written by, directed by, produced by, co-edited by, and starring (future friend of the podcast) Jim Cummings.

Ian and Sam take some time to breakdown the most prestigious film festival in the world. Time Sensitive talks about the Winners, some movies to keep an eye out for and a little bit of history of the festival. There are also some airing of grievances and plenty of getting sidetracked (Air Bud is mentioned)

Who's on the tape? We gather again to chat about Drew Goddard's latest, Bad Times at the El Royale. A cast filled with stars and it somehow flopped, we try to figure out why that may have happened. We also try out a new segment this week called "Sam Slams", give it a listen.
