“You know, death is something many of us are uncomfortable speaking about on a podcast.”
There’s only one full week left in the 2020 Winter Quarter, and in this time of studying and stressing, it’s important to wind down and remind ourselves of the love in our lives that still remains in times of tension. For that reason, we’ve decided to cover the Marielle Heller directed, not-so-Fred Rogers-biopic, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood! In this episode, special guest Sam Koekoek talks about why it’s his favorite film of 2019, as well as what the film is telling us about being upfront with our emotions. As Fred Rogers himself upholds, “there is no normal life that is free from pain.” Be kind, love thy neighbor, forgive, and please listen to the wholesome 69th episode of the UW Film Club Podcast!
On this episode: Jim Saunders and Sam Koekoek

“This is the most beautiful, exciting podcast I’ve ever heard in my life and I don’t know anything about it.”
If you’re anything like us, you’re probably still reeling from the monumental 2020 Oscars, where club favorite film Parasite took home 4 awards, including Best Picture (being the first foreign language film to do so). So in honor of Parasite etching its name into the legendary monolith of film history, we’ve decided to cover a film all about paving ones own path and legacy: American Graffiti! On this episode, we talk about the film’s setting/historical context, its themes of nostalgia and moving on from the past, and George Lucas’ storied yet stormy film legacy. Where were you in ’62? If you’re reading this, you likely weren’t alive, but you should still check out the 67th episode of the UW Film Club Podcast now!

“The podcast didn’t say anything about this!
Podcasters don’t know everything!”
On this week’s episode, podcast host Jim Saunders and social media/communications lead Isaac Flores talk about the fantasy cult classic film The Dark Crystal!
