This time we get obsessed with money and eel innuendo.
00:00-01:50 Brief Plot Recap: Basil
01:50-08:05 Liked It (Ilya, Basil), Disliked It (Reuben, Patrick)
08:05-10:45 Ilya liked the sad, sad soup-eating scene
10:45-12:00 The movie goes in some weird, unexpected directions
12:00-12:35 Especially compared to Double Indemnity
12:35-13:00 Reuben doesn’t like these stories
13:00-14:05 Patrick thinks it’s hard to show people being loving
14:05-15:30 Basil doesn’t think she was in it for the loving
15:45-18:00 Giuseppe as a repulsive and well-meaning guy
18:00-18:45 Repulsive repulsion
18:45-19:30 Basil thinks Gino and Giovanna are equally narcissistic
19:30-20:20 Giovanna’s obsession with money
20:20-21:25 Ilya thinks Gino and Spagnolo are the real love story
21:25-22:10 Basil thinks Giovanna’s a metaphor for Mussolini and Gino’s not much better
22:10-22:20 Patrick thinks the characters are cynical
22:20-23:20 Patrick and Reuben bring back the Warped Ones
23:20-24:50 Patrick is done speaking forever, then continues speaking
24:40-27:00 In Ossessione, Women who want things are bad
27:00-27:50 Spagnolo’s non-cynical economic philosophy
27:50-28:05 Forrest Gump! (?)
28:05-29:10 Basil thinks Visconti uses the prostitute characters to make a statement
29:10-31:30 BTW this movie was made during World War II
31:30-32:20 Leni Riefenstahl loved her some fascism
32:20-33:30 Ossessione has no connection with or reference to WWII
33:10-34:10 Mixed Mussolini Metaphors!
34:10-35:10 Mussolini Misdirection!
35:10-36:30 Spagnolo reminds Patrick of his Dad’s attitude towards money
36:30-37:25 The moment when Spagnolo chastises Gino for being a closet case
37:25-38:50 Visconti is most enjoyable within a political context (so is his name)
38:50-39:50 Same with Jafar Panahi
39:50-40:45 On that note, Ilya thinks This Is Not A Film is a satire of Home Alone
40:45-41:20 And with that, the podcast starts breakdancing!
41:20-42:10 Reuben remembers another super-sad Visconti movie
42:10-43:20 Ilya remembers a super-boring Visconti movie
43:20-44:20 Ossessione is The Decessor of Neo-Realism
44:20-45:40 Billy Wilder stole this movie cause he knew he’d get away with it
45:40-47:30 Basil remembers the super uncomfortable slapping scene
47:30-48:00 This movie is beautifully shot
48:00-48:30 And has no interest in plot
48:30-49:40 Shots! Shots! All those beautiful shots!
49:40-50:20 Thanks for listening everybody!
