Not gone forever, just away on business. Like when Don Draper dips out to LA sometimes.

This week, Odinaka Ezeokoli and I dish on some heists. One of my favorite movies of all time, Widows, and a newly discovered classic, Rififi - two very different approaches to the Process of a Heist. On the way we talk about how clutch it was to be a thief before surveillance cameras, the secret power of Chicago's aldermen, and a VERY SPECIAL segment in which Odinaka, a Professional Astrologer, breaks down the Zodialogical signs of Gillian Flynn and Steve McQueen. Try and find another podcast doing astrology readings of Gillian Flynn! C'mon! 

More Guests, More Talking.  It's an XXL episode this week.

Jake Nathanson and Amanda Pinto (Sub/Urban Photography) join the pod to talk about two movies in which one person is going to stop at nothing to kill someone.  The runtimes of these films are filled with step by step Processes for how these assassins are going about that.  

Along the way, we explore the wide spectrum of Coen-osity, the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Method of Setting Your American Movie in a Foreign Country, compare Anton Chigur impressions, and nearly forget to talk about Josh Brolin.

What Doth Process?  SSDF inquires.  Guest Sophia Dunn-Walker helps answer - through analysis of two more films: Le Samourai and Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.  We're talking car theft, Paris in November, how a movie about an insane person revenge-murdering a bunch of mobsters is one of the sweetest, calmest movies ever - but mostly, just lusting after Alain Delon.  

SSDF returns with a new movie pairing and a new guest:  The Conversation and Drive, with guest Ashley Ray.  As we continue our exploration of this season's theme of Process, we get into some real shit: how Ingmar Bergman led to a career in television criticism,  analysis of the racial politics of Drive, the strange masculinity  of Ryan Gosling and Gene Hackman, Albert Brooks: the safe alternative to Woody Allen, and what the child actor that played Carey Mulligan's kid is doing now.  

Season One: Process

The inaugural episode of Something Something Double Feature finds us tumbling through the darkest coldest reaches of space.  Guest Karsten Runquist (Karstcast Moviecast) and host Peter Collins Campbell emerge from this double feature exhausted and despairing, yet - still ready to discuss what the hell just happened.   Future-Yoga as Religion, the merits of blood curdling screams vs babies crying, space dogs, and of course, the F**k Box are discussed.

A lil' taste of what is to come for Something Something Double Feature.  

Check back every week for new double features, new guests, and new very long conversations.
