Haven't Seen It
Haven't Seen It Pod is hosted by Michael Basha and Joshua Scammell. One has seen the film in question and one has not. The two will discuss a new film each episode, the filmmaker, and more all in the one-sided context. The two will give their impressions, ratings, thoughts, qualms, etc. and each episode will flip between who's seen it.

Episode 41: Silence (2016)
What are the great religious films? Is there a spiritual capacity unique to film? Do we will live in secular times? What does it mean to be a "spiritual" filmmaker during secular times? Is it an act of rebellion, or an act of self-preservation? Can an industrial, collective art-form like cinema actually work as a devotional art?Please send us hate mail:EMAIL: hello@haventseenitpod.comINSTA: haventseenpodWe are on youtube, spotify, and apple podcasts!

Do you have a reactive dog? Are you a fan of reaction videos? Do you use the phrase "reactionary" to describe things you don't like? Why is it that "reactionary" is associated with right-wing politics? Why is it that my reactive dog is right-wing?

Episode 39: The Materialists (2025) & Past Lives (2023)
Are we all Materialists? Dialectical Materialists? Or are we souls caught in samsara, with many Past Lives? In this episode about Celine Song's two films, we do not ask those questions. Not really. We ask these ones: Is it possible that being too smart can actually be a problem when it comes to writing films? Why is conflict so important, and why do films fail when you don't have enough conflict? What is the state of the drama and the rom-com today? And why are Celine Song's films both about women caught between 2 perfect men with total patience who are 100% in love and dedicated to her even though she sucks???Please send us hate mail:EMAIL: hello@haventseenitpod.comINSTA: haventseenpodWe are on youtube, spotify, and apple podcasts!Josh's links:▶️Find me on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@josh_from_xboxlive🌐Request story notes: https://www.jgscammell.com/ᯤ Spotify feed for my videos: https://open.spotify.com/show/24AHrJ6b1yA0V2WIfXt8KK?si=kKoEms1nQBKpRM7o9yP6JQ✍️Check out my writing: https://yeshua.substack.com/📹Bonus videos here: https://www.patreon.com/Josh_from_xbolive📸 My instagram: https://www.instagram.com/josh_from_xboxlive/🟠🟢🔵 My Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/jeshuam/

Episode 38: The Voyeurs (2021)
Where all the voyeurs at? Are we all voyeurs in the digital era? Or are we all exhibitionists? Or is there a third term, somewhere in between the two? How does our new digital, late-capitalist ideology influence this regime of "the gaze"? Is there such thing as a "female gaze"? And who the hell is Laura Mulvey?

Episode 34: The Big Sleep & The Long Goodbye
What is the secret to a good adaptation? Is it all about fidelity to the source material, or is there more to it? Should artists NOT express their own ideas when doing an adaptation?

Episode 30: Kinetta (2005)
Does Yorgos Lanthimos hate cinema? Does he hate this medium? And why? Is his shtick surface level antics, or is there more going on besides a vulgar self-reflexivity? How do his early films compare to his later ones? How do people feel about his work back home in Greece? Why is it important to be true to where you're from? Will Josh ever do the slightest bit of research, or will he insist on getting simple facts wrong? We're joined by the legendary (at least 20 feet tall) filmmaker Paolo Antypas to discuss what the hell is up with Yorgos Lanthimos' first film, Kinetta from 2005. Warning: very high IQ takes.

Episode 29: David Lynch
In this episode, we get to the bottom of WHAT MAKES DAVID'S FILMS SO SPECIAL. We advance a vaguely Jungian reading of his work, while also advancing a vaguely Shamanistic reading of his work, while also grappling with Mark Frost's claim that David is "anti-psychological." What did he mean by this? Join us in celebrating one of America's greatest artists in any medium. Rest in peace, David Keith Lynch#davidlynch #podcast #filmpodcast
