Hello, Casey O'Brien. Hi, Amelia DeCherico. How are you?
Yeah, we are doing a new podcast. You and I, both of us, making a movie podcast together. It's thrilling, it's terrifying, and it's liberating all at once.
Yeah, I can do that. This is the movies we've watched in the last week. And we're going to be discussing the movies we have most recently watched. Now, these are not necessarily recommendations. This is just like our extracurriculars. That's right. These are our studies as film enthusiasts. You know, we're trying to like mine through all of film of all of time.
You know, both of us were both students of film. So these aren't necessarily recommendations. Some of these might suck, frankly. A lot of them will, probably. A lot of them will, yes. You got to break a lot of eggs, kiss a lot of frogs.
And today we have the wonderful comedian Shalewa Sharp. She's on to talk about her area of expertise, which was important to both of us, wouldn't you say, Millie?
Oh, so fabulous. Much more to come on Dear Movies, I Love You.
That's right. Those who are down bad for film, those who have a crush on film, those who are using movies as a way to fill your sexual and amorous holes in your life. I don't know if that's the right way of expressing that, but... It's for those who sincerely, sincerely love film and care about it very deeply.
Yes, it's the same feed. It's the same channel.
That's right. I produced that. wonderful podcast. And this is sort of, you know, a phoenix rising out of the ashes of I Saw What You Did. And I'm just so thrilled and thankful that you wanted to have me be a part of this show, Millie, in this capacity.
Sure, I guess so. First of all, I produced an excellent movie podcast before this one called I Saw What You Did, as we've already covered. I've produced several movie podcasts, but also, like you, Millie, I went to film school. Ooh, la la.
And so, hopefully, you know, we can, throughout the course of this podcast, we can get some of those, like, you know, film school tales, and we can bring up our time in film school, because that's sort of a funny... Time in everyone's life. So anyways, went to film school. I also would consider myself a filmmaker. I would. Because I do make short films and I'm working on a feature film right now.
And I really love movies. They're a big part of my life and my creative identity. I also... used to host a film podcast. That's right. Called Fart House, where we talked about artsy fartsy films. And I did that with my friend, Patrick Mallon. What's up, Patrick?
Sure.
Well, thank you. I appreciate that, Millie. I think that it's not unlike Worf in Star Trek. You know, he's a Klingon and a lot of people have, you know, thoughts about him as, you know, the Klingon race is very violent. But, you know, people just need to understand that Worf is a gentle soul and, you know, over time they accept him. So...
I won't bring it up again on the show. But anyways, I appreciate that. And I think, you know, more than just film brodom, you know, I think there's a kind of... there can be kind of a lot of rules in terms of, and they're all imagined, of course, but there's a lot of pressure to think about movies in a very specific way.
A lot of that is, it tends to be from a more male point of view, and it's kind of like, these are the good movies, these are the bad movies. If you like these movies, you're cool. If you like these movies, you drool. And I think this podcast wants to kind of dash away any sort of pretension or rules about what you need to do in order to consider yourself a lover of movies.
If you sincerely love a movie, even if it's considered a bad movie by some, that should be celebrated. And that's what this podcast is about. It's about enjoying film at all levels.
Well, we're going to be sensitivo. I'm a very emotional person. You know, I said before that I consider myself a soft straight. I'm a softie. Yes. And I love rom-coms are like kind of my favorite genre of film. But I also, I'll throw on Salo. Wait, who's the director of Sala? Pasolini. Pasolini, which is a movie that is one of the most, I don't know, sexually violent and perverse.
And there's a lot of like eating poop in it. And it's a great date night movie. Great date night movie. But it's a very extreme arthouse movie from the 70s. Is that when it's from? But anyways, you know, I can throw on that movie. As much as I can throw on, you know, Sleepless in Seattle, a movie I truly love.
So I think this is more about the emotional connection to film rather than any sort of intellectual debate or study of film, if that all makes sense.
