This week in the Film After 11 podcast, I take my son Joseph out to the ballpark for a viewing of Penny Marshall’s rousing 1992 baseball picture A League of Their Own. As a former Little Leaguer, he appreciated the depiction of baseball and the history lesson he didn’t know beforehand. If you’ll forgive the… Read More Film After 11 Podcast | A League of Their Own (1992)
In this week’s episode of the Film After 11 podcast (remember, we changed the title of the show), I take my son Thomas on a journey back to Medieval times for the rollicking adventure of A Knight’s Tale. Clever boy, he picked up right away that something might be amiss as soon as a rock… Read More Film After 11 Podcast | A Knight’s Tale (2001)
As announced last week, the Film at 11 podcast has now officially been rebranded as Film After 11. It’s the same podcast as before, just with a slightly different title. For the inaugural episode, Joseph and I sit down to watch Robin Williams’ 1995 blockbuster Jumanji. If you’ve paid any attention, you may have noticed… Read More Film After 11 Podcast | Jumanji (1995)
With 52 weekly episodes now completed, the Film at 11 podcast has reached its milestone one-year anniversary. Rather than review another movie this week, we’ve decided to take a look back at the past year, decide which films were our favorites, which were our least favorites, and maybe consider whether any of our initial ratings… Read More Film at 11 Podcast | One-Year Retrospective
One of my intentions in doing the Film at 11 podcast is to challenge my children by making them watch movies that may be a little outside their comfort zones. For my son Thomas, that means I subjected him to Christopher Nolan’s 2010 mind-bender Inception this week. Although I knew Thomas would enjoy the action… Read More Film at 11 Podcast: Episode 52 | Inception (2010)
As a parent, it hasn’t completely escaped my notice that I may have used the Film at 11 podcast to watch goofier and… how do I put this?… less challenging movies with my son Thomas, while I often save the somewhat weightier fare for Joseph. Not always, but perhaps more than I should. I realize… Read More Film at 11 Podcast: Episode 51 | Happy Gilmore (1996)
As the Film at 11 podcast reaches its milestone fiftieth episode, I take my son Thomas on a journey up to the heavens and back down to Earth again with Alfonso Cuarón’s blockbuster smash Gravity. He liked it, but then, this is a pretty difficult movie to dislike. From its nerve-wracking suspense to its still… Read More Film at 11 Podcast: Episode 50 | Gravity (2013)
In the latest Film at 11 podcast, I take my son on a hunt for The Fugitive, the 1993 blockbuster thriller starring Harrison Ford as a wrongly convicted man on the run from the law. Joseph tells me he liked the movie a lot, even though he obviously had some problems following the plot. More… Read More Film at 11 Podcast: Episode 49 | The Fugitive (1993)
I thought I’d give my son Thomas a break on the Film at 11 podcast this week. Rather than forcing him to watch another old movie from the 1970s or 1980s with cheesy special effects he likely wouldn’t appreciate, I picked for him the 2014 Tom Cruise sci-fi action epic Edge of Tomorrow. I knew… Read More Film at 11 Podcast: Episode 48 | Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
I’ve previously used the Film at 11 podcast to introduce one of my sons to the James Bond franchise, and even started him off the right way with a Sean Connery entry. That was Thomas watching Goldfinger at the time, back in episode 18. I feel I’m overdue to bring my other son, Joseph, into… Read More Film at 11 Podcast: Episode 47 | Dr. No (1962)
