• Episode 32: Il Sorpasso
    2025/04/11

    This week we're discussing the companion movie for Martin Scorsese's The Color of Money, the Italian comedy Il Sorpasso from 1962. We discuss whether it is really a comedy, how it balances conflicting tones, and whether any art is really new at all.

  • Episode 31: After Hours
    2025/03/12

    There's no rules for this podcast, it's After Hours babyyyyyyyy! Joining Sarah & MJ to talk about this Scorsese movie is friend of the show and co-host of "The Bond We Share" podcast, Adam Moffett. We get into our own real-life near-After Hours experiences, discuss the brilliant sight gags in this movie, and talk about why it is one of Scorsese's most underrated - yet easy to rewatch - movies.

  • Episode 30: Up in Mabel's Room
    2025/02/25

    It's our final stop before After Hours with another Allan Dwan farce, Up in Mabel's Room. While you'd be forgiven for thinking we're watching the same film as the last episode, this does fix some of the problems we had with Getting Gertie's Garter. We talk about the side characters that can steal the show in a farcical comedy, the fine line between horror and comedy, and discuss Martin Scorsese's quite frankly insane slate of possible upcoming movies.

  • Episode 29: Getting Gertie's Garter
    2025/02/14

    We're still on the road to After Hours and talking about another Allan Dwan farcical comedy, 1945's Getting Gertie's Garter. Sarah and MJ chat about why we're bad at using Letterboxd (ironic considering this podcast started from a Letterboxd list!), where this film unfortunately falls apart, and the perils of trying to turn a silent movie into a talkie.

  • Episode 28: The Inside Story
    2025/01/29

    Is money fake? What even is time? Join MJ and Sarah as they ruminate on these big questions while also talking about 1940s farcical comedy, The Inside Story. This is the first of three companion movies for Martin Scorsese's After Hours, so we talk about its connections to that movie, when is the right time to make movies about big events, and the relevance the movie has to today.

  • Episode 27: The King of Comedy
    2024/12/10

    This week Sarah and MJ discuss the under-appreciated Martin Scorsese movie, The King of Comedy. We get into the Joker of it all (unfortunately), the skilful way the film flirts with what is real and what isn't, as well as discussing our own fleeting brushes with internet fame via viral tweets.

  • Episode 26: Station Six-Sahara
    2024/11/25

    This week we're on the very short road to Raging Bull with 1963's companion film, Station Six-Sahara. Opinions on it are split between your LPWM co-hosts, but we've got plenty of ideas about how this film could be improved, why it should be an exploitation film, and why we're both very annoyed with Nicole Kidman.

  • Episode 25: Raging Bull
    2024/10/29

    We've finally arrived at Raging Bull, a strong contender for Martin Scorsese's best film and a first time watch for one of your co-hosts! We discuss the incredible performances, Thelma Schoonmaker's impeccable editing, and the brilliant way Scorsese incorporates religious imagery into this boxing movie that isn't really about boxing.
