Off Screen Death
Off Screen Death
Michael Denniston and David Giannini
A podcast about all the things we must do before the inevitable. Mostly watching movies. However one host intends to use that time wisely by looking at respected lists of curation from the likes of Sight And Sound or the AFI's Top 100. Meanwhile the other watches a lot of STARZ. Really. An unreasonable amount of STARZ. And yet he heroically finds the time to podcast. Before he dies. This is OFF SCREEN DEATH. Hosted by Michael Denniston and David Giannini. Artwork by Nathan Thomas Milliner. Music by Joplin Rice.
The Greatest Years in Film: THE GODFATHER PART II (1974 #1)
We double down on Oscars week just like that hack Coppola did for the Academy in 1974. Or something like that. We struggle to say anything unkind about Sofia Coppola's father in his repeat performance for THE GODFATHER saga (that can wait for Part 3) but we do our best to separate this film from the rest in the series as it is now the first film representing 1974 in our series on The Greatest Years in Film. I hope everything above comes across as pretentious as it did in my dreams. Enjoy and come back next week for our first entry from 1994!

The Greatest Years in Film: THE ROARING TWENTIES (1939 #1)
March Madness of cinema starts with Cagney and Bogart! Start a journey of OUR (and HISTORY's!) top ten lists from The Greatest Years in Film as we will spend the rest of 2024 on the 85th, 50th, 30th and 25th anniversaries of the films of 1939, 1974, 1994 and 1999. For the first month we will be discussing THE GODFATHER: PART TWO, HOOP DREAMS and 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU (yes really.) But for now it's Cagney, Bogart and booze. The glory days of moviegoing!

On the Rocks and Priscilla (Sofia Coppola #7 and #8)
A Podcast Directed By... The Reunion. Getting the band back together... or at least the old band name (The One-ders?) as we present a NEW Sofia Coppola episode as thankfully she kept making movies after getting the career push she needed on our old podcast A PODCAST DIRECTED BY. We talk mainly ON THE ROCKS and a little bit about the icky-ness of PRISCILLA before one host attacks Martin Scorsese and defends women while the other sits on his hands. Enjoy!

The Beguiled (Sofia Coppola #6)
To create... one must syndicate. At our advanced age (when we are not falling asleep or contemplating our own mortality) we can look back with reverence (bitterness) at our misspent youth. What that means for you, dear listener, is a plan of action that requires a couple of months of inaction. Episodes looking back at the films of Sofia Coppola... which also is a look back at our previous podcast A PODCAST DIRECTED BY. However... not only will we revisit those episodes but also the work that this director has since completed with ON THE ROCKS and the new release PRISCILLA. This will give us time to start recording our lists for 2024 which involve the years 1939, 1974, 1994 and 1999. It's going to be good. Maybe. Enjoy!

Bottoms (The Next List #3)
The quest for another SUPERBAD continues but we are all just old now. At least that's what we tell ourselves. But not YOU, dear listener. You are young. You are hip. On the cutting edge of podcast listening. For you are listening to OFF SCREEN DEATH and our episode on the latest "hit" comedy BOTTOMS. We liked it! We just don't like the state of theatrical comedy. It's sad. As are we. But not you! Support what we do on Patreon with early access and bonus episodes covering the countdown to Christmas!
