Having saddled myself with the arbitrary gimmick of choosing titles for the Film After 11 podcast this year in alphabetical order, I find myself struggling with the “O” this week. Most of the movies I own beginning with that letter are either inappropriate for a 12-year-old or just not something he’d enjoy. I wound up… Read More Film After 11 Podcast | O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
I’m typically a little wary of watching comedies with my kids for the Film After 11 podcast. The humor in older movies doesn’t always play well for the younger generation. My own boys also almost never laugh during comedies, leaving me unable to read their reactions until asking them later. Nevertheless, this week I introduced… Read More Film After 11 Podcast | Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
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)
