Despite their love for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, both Shawn Eastridge and Richie Pepio were less than enamored with Marvel's new Disney Plus series WandaVision. And while they originally intended to just let it slide, the insanely positive fan reaction and critical response threw them for such a loop that they just had to record an entire podcast episode devoted to complaining about it. 

Join them now as they examine the entire series, what worked (some of it), what didn't work (most of it) and how Marvel managed to distract viewers from their lack of compelling storytelling with a unique sitcom format that ended up being all style and no substance. Come for the great conversation, stay for the hosts' emotional and mental breakdowns.

John Mills returns to Missing Frames to introduce Shawn to Brian De Palma’s cult classic Carlito’s Way. They discuss De Palma’s knack for crafting brilliant suspense sequences and the excellent performances from Al Pacino, Sean Penn and John Leguizamo. There’s also a question of whether De Palma is the epitome of style over substance without the negative connotations that term suggests.

Missing Frames has reached its 100th EPISODE. Shawn Eastridge and Brad Gullickson celebrate with some of their favorite memories of the amazing conversations, the incredible guests, the filmmaker interviews, etc. that led to this major milestone in the history of podcasting. 

And what better film to celebrate a film lovers podcast than Giuseppe Tornatore’s Cinema Paradiso. Shawn has never seen this beloved classic and it’s been nearly two decades since Brad’s first and only viewing. Will this love letter to cinema live up to its esteemed reputation?

In this Between Takes interview, Shawn chats with author Melissa Maerz about her amazing new book 'Alright, Alright, Alright: The Oral History of Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused.' The two discuss Linklater's initial reluctance about being interviewed about 'Dazed and Confused' AGAIN, the film's many production challenges and how this oral history ends up being even more of a Linklater-esque project than the film itself.

Alex Calleros of the Lessons from the Screenplay team returns to Missing Frames to introduce Shawn to Rian Johnson's second feature The Brothers Bloom. Somehow The Brothers Bloom has become the forgotten step-child of Rian Johnson's filmography, but does it deserve this reputation? Shawn and Alex discuss Rian Johnson as a filmmaker, the pros and cons of this film's more overt style and where it ranks for them overall.
