Talk Without Rhythm Podcast

Join El Goro, part-time luchador and full-time cinephile, as he delves into the broad grassy spaces and massed granite tarns of cinema. Each episode, El Goro discusses two movies tied together by some kind of theme. Action, sci-fi, horror, high-brow, low-brow: it's all fair game.

10 Years. 

500 episodes. 

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm bringing the Cancer Man back to celebrate 10 years of TWoRP by running down our favorite films of the decade.

As it was. As it is. As TWoRP will ever be.

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm entering into the Disney section of the Skywalker Saga with 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the divisive Star Wars: The Last Jedi from 2017.

Joining me will be the most knowledgeable Star Wars geek I know. You've heard his name, but I assure you, you are not prepared for the full power of The Harper. But it's not just him. 

No, there is another...

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm checking in on two of my favorite working directors, both of which happened to have films out in 2019 with the word "In" in the title.

From Peter Strickland we have In Fabric, currently unavailable in the US, and from Jim Mickle we have In the Shadow of the Moon, currently only available on Netflix.

Ain't modern film distribution grand?

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm spending time with one of the greats. Before the Winchesters knew how to drive. Before Buffy made googly eyes at a smoldering undead. Before Spooky and Starbuck opened their first X-File. Before pretty much any supernatural-themed television, there was investigative reporter Carl Kolchak. So in honor of this legend I'll be discussing his first two appearances: 1972's The Night Stalker and 1973's The Night Strangler

And hey, since I love the character so much I'm giving away copies of the blu-ray of The Night Stalker and The Night Strangler. Listen to the episode to find out how to win.
