TNE Speakeasy: Bonus #101 (Aladdin: Broadway Across Canada Thoughts ft. Isaac and Caleb)

Caleb and Isaac are back in the bar to discuss yet another production put on by Broadway Across Canada, this time covering Aladdin (2023). Isaac is once again under the podcast spotlight, as Caleb breaks out his pen and tape recorder, and grills Isaac on his thoughts on the film. Will Caleb's good cop routine get Isaac to open on on his opinions, or will it take his bad cop side to get him to spill the beans on this recent production? Find out now!

Fail-Safe (1964) {Stanley Kubrick Series Tie-in}

Caleb and Eric return to discuss another film from the 1960s, and in an effort to tie in to their upcoming Dr. Strangelove review (which you can hear next Monday!), Caleb has elected that the duo cover the 1964 Nuclear War chiller, Fail-Safe. Released in the same year, and featuring virtually the same scenario, it's easy to understand why the film would pale next to the classic that is Dr. Strangelove. But does the film hold up in it's own right? Join your hosts as they take a look at this somewhat forgotten film, and see if it deserves another look.

TNE Speakeasy: Bonus #106 (Indiana Jones & The Dial of Destiny and Mission Impossible 7 ft. Isaac & Caleb)

The Summer Movies of 2023 discussions continue, as Caleb and Isaac return to the bar to discuss Isaac's recent double bill of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Caleb has only seen the latter of the two films, so your hosts go deeper into the discussion of that one. But if you've seen the film, or don't care about spoilers, join your hosts as they discuss Indy's last outing with Harrison Ford in the lead (hopefully).

The Creator (2023)

What's this?! A regular release episode instead of a bonus episode?

Well as you might have seen, the 2023 Explosion of Bonus Episodes has finally arrived at it's end, and while we work on getting another huge backlog of new Bonus Episodes edited, we figure we can use the open space on the feed to release a discussion on a new release film that deserves the Podcast Spotlight. So join us as we discuss our second Gareth Edwards film for the year, as Caleb and Isaac discuss The Creator. And tune in for a special surprise in the stinger section.

Spartacus (1960) {Stanley Kubrick Retrospective}

Caleb and Eric return to the Kubrick series after a long delay to finally turn the podcast spotlight on the four films he made during the 1960s. And we begin this journey with Spartacus, a film that Kubrick himself was never happy with due to the censorship of the age. How will your hosts think it stacks up, despite the trials of its production?

Just as a note, due to many complications in the scheduling of the podcast, this episode has been sitting in the TNE Archives since June 4th, 2022. But now that it's had it's time in the sun, tune in every second Monday until we compete his 60s run.
