When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport. Learn more at www.lbi.org/kollisch . Exile is a production of the Leo Baeck Institute , New York | Berlin and Antica Productions . It’s narrated by Mandy Patinkin. Executive Producers include Katrina Onstad, Stuart Coxe, and Bernie Blum. Senior Producer is Debbie Pacheco. Associate Producers are Hailey Choi and Emily Morantz. Research and translation by Isabella Kempf. Sound design and audio mix by Philip Wilson, with help from Cameron McIver. Theme music by Oliver Wickham. Voice acting by Natalia Bushnik. Special thanks to the Kollisch family for the use of Eva’s two memoirs, “Girl in Movement” and “The Ground Under My Feet”, the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College and their “Voices of Feminism Oral History Project”, and Soundtrack New York.…

We descend into the world of LA-based bounty hunters this week as we plow through 1974’s blaxploitation film Truck Turner. It has everything you want from a classic blaxploitation: a ruggedly handsome protagonist, pimps and hoes, hit-men, bar fights, chases, intimidation and a funky soundtrack as well as plenty of stuff you didn’t need (but love anyways) like: constant reminders our hero smells like cat piss, rituals of a pimp funeral, sneakily getting your girlfriend arrested for her own protection, Nichelle Nichols being unhinged and singing your own love song over your own love scene.

Somehow most of the crew have never seen the film Ghost before and because of that their PKE meters (Podcaster’s Knowledge & Expectations) are all askew with readings of ‘corny romance’ and ‘silly 80’s nonsense’. Little do they know, they’ve discovered a bona fide classic. So come and listen to their discussion about: constant death fake-outs, screaming at cats, train-hobo-ghosts, ruining potential artistic masterpieces for a bit of muddy sexy time, one of the weirdest lesbian workarounds ever and general amazement at Rich’s mezzanine knowledge. https://ia600607.us.archive.org/21/items/ghost_202503/Ghost.mp3…
Most people think of the 90’s horror movement when they think of Japanese horror, so we wanted to go back to it’s roots and see what influenced it. Onibaba is a small scale, vaguely supernatural drama that relies more on the bleakness of war, poverty and human nature to convey it’s horror rather than monsters and spirits. Come and listen to our discussion where: one of us tries to deny the supernatural element, everyone appreciates the aggressive jazz, someone gets a lot less chauvinism than they expect and we perhaps get our own podcast ghost. https://ia800806.us.archive.org/35/items/onibaba_202502/Onibaba.mp3…
“So, I have this animatronic T-rex laying around, for some reason, do you want to make a film with it? No, there’s no script and no money and you have a few weeks to do it. Whatd’ya say?” This was the proposition that director Stewart Raffill received one day in 1994 and you can’t say the man doesn’t meet a challenge. Tammy and the T-Rex is probably the biggest and best ‘backyard’ movie ever made, but where does this silly, weird and perplexing movie rank on the overall film scale? Tune in to find out now! https://ia600808.us.archive.org/28/items/tammy-and-the-trex/Tammy%20and%20the%20TRex.mp3…
We’ve all watched stoner comedies before here at SFFCH and know that they can range from endearingly stupid to utter dreck, so where does 2007’s Smiley Face fall on the filmic weed-ometer? Come and listen to us find out in our discussion about: well needed female stoner representation, long overdue Anna Faris appreciation, whether we would want our lives narrated by Roscoe Lee Browne, random Carrot Top sightings and trying to figure out if there was more to destroying the Communist Manifesto at the end (probably not). https://ia600608.us.archive.org/2/items/smiley-face_202502/Smiley%20Face.mp3…
We all wanted to watch some non-Star Wars George Lucas this week. Turns out, there wasn’t really much choice so here’s THX 1138, a film that everyone has misspelled at some point in their lives. It seems he always had the imagination to get alot out of a small budget and remains a surprisngly influencial artist, but really should stop remastering his old stuff. Up for discussion this time: vending machine therapy, futuristic fleshlights, Robert Duvall breakdancing and a few more references to Waiting For Godot than this film probably deserves. https://ia800804.us.archive.org/17/items/thx-1138_202501/THX%201138.mp3…
The thought of school reunions makes the crew all nostalgic for their old school days this week as they tackle Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion, the female answer to those ‘two dumb men do dumb things’ films from the 90’s. They came in with expectations of ‘silly blonde comedy’ and leave with ‘quietly funny and endearingly odd’ in a discussion about: perfectly executed dream sequences, Handsome Squidward Alan Cummings, pretend sex scenes, post-it notes, business women and one of the best dance sequences ever. https://ia802309.us.archive.org/16/items/romy-and-micheles-high-school-reunion/Romy%20and%20Michele%27s%20High%20School%20Reunion.mp3…
Years ago, The Internet decided that The Flintstones was a terrible film. We all bought into it here at Spoiler Filled and believed it, so there was little enthusiasm when it came to watching it. However, we soon came a shocking conclusion: it’s fine. For a film whose premise is essentially “Stuff, but it’s stone”, it is heightened by it’s attention to detail, fun practical effects and commited actors. It still has that God awful fat pig waste disposer though, so… https://ia800607.us.archive.org/9/items/the-flintstones_202501/The%20Flintstones.mp3…
It’s taken us a while, but we finally realised that Denzel Washington is pretty good at this acting business. We’ve also got some due love to give for Elias Koteas and John Goodman too, even if Fallen has a crippling case of ‘Good Idea, Bad Execution’. Come and listen to us: debate demon possession rules, develop an aversion to James Gandolfini’s facial hair and try to comprehend the extreme subtlety of a mass murdering monster eating cereal. https://ia601208.us.archive.org/10/items/fallen_202412/Fallen.mp3…
Happy Merry Time, one and all! It’s time for our festive filmic feature and where better to look for a Christmas movie than Japan! (It was bound to happen on this podcast eventually) And what better themes to tackle than homelessness, poverty, abandonment and suicide! But don’t worry dear listener, this film is somehow one of the funniest, most joyful and wholesome Christmas movies out there,whilst never holding back on it’s harrowing depiction of Wintertime on the Japanese streets. https://ia800606.us.archive.org/33/items/tokyo-godfathers_202412/Tokyo%20Godfathers.mp3…
It’s time to hunker down and watch some Michael Shannon this week as we dig into Take Shelter from 2011. It was brought to our attention as many consider it to contain one of Shannon’s best performances on screen and, by God, we do love a Michael Shannon performance here at Spoiler Filled, how could we resist?! Our love for Shannon remains undiminished, but we are a little more divided about the successfulness of the film as a whole. Is it a poignant study of mental illness and societal foreboding or a messy, often nonsensical re-imagining of Noah’s Ark? Tune in to find out our decision. https://ia801200.us.archive.org/14/items/take-shelter/Take%20Shelter.mp3…
Happy Halloween! To celebrate spooky season the Spoiler Filled gang have rummaged in the fiery pits of hell and found Pet Sematary 2. Listen now as we experience a complete personality switch where Rich and Abi love a trashy horror movie and Ant and Jamie think it’s a bit silly actually. Unbelievable scenes. https://ia800503.us.archive.org/22/items/pet-sematary-2/Pet%20Sematary%202.mp3…
After watching the film Shampoo we have learned one great lesson about the hairdressing business: all you have to do to be considered successful is sleep with all your clients and then they won’t notice that your only trick is waving a hairdryer vaguely in the direction of their heads. Shampoo claims to be a satire of American society and sexual politics, with something to do with Richard Nixon in there, but we’re not sure what to make of this 70’s dramedy. https://ia600800.us.archive.org/10/items/shampoo_202409/Shampoo.mp3…
We get a backdoor George Miller connection this week with Dead Calm. Produced by Miller’s company, it is a film about a married couple trying to forget their child died by going on a boating trip in the Pacific and running into a creepy Billy Zane on a boat full of dead people. Nothing too suspicious here, then. Billy Zane on a boat…nope, doesn’t ring a bell. Up for discussion this week: asparagus dreams, being kinda happy they killed the dog for a change, that baby-through-the-windshield scene and just general appreciation for our boy Billy. https://ia803406.us.archive.org/22/items/dead-calm/Dead%20Calm.mp3…
George Miller is… unfathomable, we’re going with unfathomable. He builds his career making apocalyptic action mayhem with all the Mad Max films and then suddenly pivots to making kids films involving animals, be they pigs or penguins. Not content with the original, fairly conventional Babe, Miller steps in as director for the sequel Babe: Pig In The City and just lets the weirdness flow. Did it turn out to be a wondrous family-orientated romp or a dark and harrowing nightmare bordering on animal cruelty? Tune in to find out. https://ia904600.us.archive.org/34/items/babe-pig-in-the-city/Babe%20Pig%20in%20the%20City.mp3…
We’re all armed with our barrel scrapers this time as we scoop Drop Dead Fred out of the cinematic cask, but we’re mildly surprised it’s not as far down there as we all had expected. Turns out it’s not just fresh dogshit smeared on new carpet and more like dried bogies smeared across your face (or, at least, so the majority decides)! We invite you to make up your own minds in this cult comedy that involves: assaulting violinists, sinking your best friends house, Rik Mayall turned up to 11, dusty vagina jokes and one of the lamest dream sequences ever. https://ia902204.us.archive.org/12/items/drop-dead-fred_202409/Drop%20Dead%20Fred.mp3…
Time to celebrate the weird and wonderful partnership of Italian action comedy stars Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer as we dive head-first and try to tackle to the ground Watch Out, We’re Mad, a film where two guys wreak havoc over local mobster because they blew up their dune buggy. Up for discussion this time round: hot dog guzzling, beer swigging, choir singing, acrobat assaulting, motorcycle jousting, not your typical British Villain and wondering why the hell Donald Pleasence is in this! https://ia601705.us.archive.org/35/items/watch-out-were-mad_202409/Watch%20Out%20Were%20Mad.mp3…

‘Curious’ is definitely the crucial word this week as we find ourselves puzzling over The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, not because of the people who made it (whom we mostly like) nor for it’s success and reputation, but because of the peculiar ponderances that the premise of the film alone elicits from our twisted imaginations. Could this film, about a man born old who grows younger as he ages, even remotely live up to the insane masterpiece we have all conjured up in our collective consciousness? Tune in to find out! https://ia800102.us.archive.org/17/items/benjamin-button/Benjamin%20Button.mp3…

We’re watching Locke this week. That is a decision that we have made. We do enjoy when we get to be all Welshy on the show, it doesn’t happen very often, and seeing as Locke is just 80 minutes of Tom Hardy talking in his best, highly-quotable Welsh accent, we take full advantage to do so. Hey, and who would have thought concrete pouring could be so tense, huh!? https://ia600101.us.archive.org/2/items/locke_202408/Locke.mp3…
From the director of Napoleon Dynamite Jared Hess, who one of us describes very aptly as Wes Anderson’s naughty younger brother, Gentlemen Broncos is a tale of adolescence, friendship and the grubbier side of the entertainment industry dealing with plagiarism, creative compromises, standing up for oneself… Ah who are we kidding! We came for the camp and bizarre performance of Sam Rockwell, but will we stay for all the intense awkwardness, kitsch and gross out humour in this very silly comedy? Tune in to find out in our discussion including: surveillance does, rock hard popcorn balls, dune-buggy-riding cyclopes, making people out of testicles and a lot (A LOT!) of references to yeast. https://ia601502.us.archive.org/27/items/gentleman-broncos/Gentleman%20Broncos.mp3…
Time to tackle one of the most notoriously bad films ever made this week, a film so bad that no-one is willing to admit it was their choice for the podcast. Is there anything worthwhile to be found in Monkeybone, a film named after a euphemism for an out of control erection? Short Answer: yes. Long answer: …(sigh). So come and listen to our discussion about: ‘bingo-wing’ fetishes, orangutan kissing, preferring Chris Kattan with a broken neck, giant Abraham Lincoln heads in the sky and trying to make sense of this ‘nightmare juice’ sub-plot. https://ia801405.us.archive.org/29/items/monkeybone_202408/Monkeybone.mp3…
One of us thought this week’s film was set in the 90’s (it’s set in the 60’s and 70’s), one of us thought it was Point Break (it’s not Point Break), one of us just wanted to see some Chris Tucker (yeah, he’s in it). One out of three ain’t bad, I guess. Dead Presidents caught us all a bit by surprise in some way. A portrayal of Black American disillusionment in society after the Vietnam War which is also a heist movie. And a war movie. But not really. Has it bitten off more than it can chew? Come and find out in our discussion involving: prosthetic legs, manky hands, pet decapitated heads, an actually intimidating pimp portrayal and awkward Tony Curtis jokes. https://ia801607.us.archive.org/6/items/dead-presidents/Dead%20Presidents.mp3…
The A-plot of The Chase is a weird romance happening during a car chase between a criminal and his hostage. The B-plot is a chaotically comical satire of the absurd world of television news starring various rock stars and porn actors. Guess which plot we liked best. We can’t help but keep taking weird side roads in our journey with The Chase and talk about so many other films, but we do get to discuss some of the important questions: how do we keep watching films with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers in, how do we stop looking at Henry Rollins’ neck and why is dancing to the Village People always our favourate thing in a movie? https://ia800301.us.archive.org/15/items/the-chase_202407/The%20Chase.mp3…

Not many films have the chutzpah to just change from a police procedural drama to a semi sci-fi tech thriller and then to a fully fledged time travel movie two thirds of the way in, but Deja Vu certainly does have the gumption to attempt it. It’s safe to say none of us at SFFCH were really expecting this from a Tony Scott movie and are left suitably baffled and intrigued. Does the unexpected turn do it for the Spoiler Filled crew or are we left in a tangled web of logic and paradoxes? Tune in to find out. https://ia803408.us.archive.org/13/items/deja-vu_202406/Deja%20Vu.mp3…

We’re not terribly familiar with Frank Sinatra’s acting career here at SFFCH despite him being in a surprising amount of films. We wanted to see if he could hold his own in something which wasn’t a musical or a cheeky-chappy comedy and we think we’ve found the least likely film from the 50s to star one of the most famous singers on the planet. The Man With Golden Arm is a surprisingly hard-hitting and intimate portrayal of drugs, addiction and recovery from 1955 and, fair play to him, ol’ Frankie certainly did hold his own in a film including: a better class of drug dealer, allowing someone to practice drums in your tiny apartment, lovingly kept scrapbooks of fatal accidents and lot more of us not understanding gambling at all. https://ia902901.us.archive.org/6/items/the-man-with-the-golden-arm/The%20Man%20with%20the%20Golden%20Arm.mp3…

Robert Pattinson had a bit of a shaky start to his career with all that sparkly vampire nonsense, but we here at SFFCH have stuck with him over the years and you could even, maybe, sort of call us fans. Despite making some unique choices in roles, Damsel, a blackly comic Western, seemed like a particularly quirky film that caught our attention and definitely gave us a few surprises. Up for discussion this time: Robert Pattinson’s masturbation period, where did the barrel-wearing hobo stereotype even come from, dead bodies urinating and dynamite-strapped priests on small horses. https://ia600409.us.archive.org/27/items/damsel_202406/Damsel.mp3…
Yeah, we get it, it’s about the film script called 7 Psychopaths, it’s not about 7 actual psychopaths. It’s about storytelling and the creative process and how we glorify violence and bad people in fiction, but we can’t help but feel a little cheated by the misleading title. To be fair, we only needed the 3 psychopaths anyways (well, 4 I guess, Tom Waits gets a pass too). We’re not quite sure how to feel about this Martin McDonagh unconventional comedy, we love the performances, but can’t help but find a few holes here and there. https://ia902909.us.archive.org/15/items/seven-psychopaths/Seven%20Psychopaths.mp3…
Frank Capra is regarded as one of the best and most popular film directors of all time so we thought it might be worth our while to check out Arsenic and Old Lace, a black screwball comedy from 1944. As is seemingly always the case when we tackle a classic film or the work of legendary filmmaker here at SFFCH, we find the film a little divisive. Who finds the film a work of genius comedy and who thinks it’s just plain dumb? Tune in to find out! (At least we can all agree that mental illness jokes have dated quite badly) https://ia600402.us.archive.org/11/items/arsenic-and-old-lace_202406/Arsenic%20and%20Old%20Lace.mp3…
We descend into the world of LA-based bounty hunters this week as we plow through 1974’s blaxploitation film Truck Turner.

We missed our ride home and are stranded in Japan again this week, so we hunker down with our old friend, anime movies, to pass the time. This week, we become the bewildered passengers of the wild, adrenaline-fueled ride that is Redline, a high-octane, sci-fi, racing movie that contains some impressively drawn and chaotic animation, a thumping soundtrack and so many weird and wonderful alien creatures that we have no more adjectives left to describe. https://ia802606.us.archive.org/0/items/redline_202405/Redline.mp3…

An obscure Japanese film that (roundabout-ly?) inspired one of the most popular horror video game franchises understandably has Jamie salivating this week on SFFCH. Indeed, everyone sees the potential that Sweet Home emanates and after watching it we truly think we have found something unique for a supernatural Japanese Horror film: boring-ness. Though there is still plenty of general lunacy for us to tackle, including: possessions, glass-bending musical interludes, fantastically protracted people-melting effects, an insanely fun monster puppet and realising that it all boils down to dead babies in these types of films. https://ia600306.us.archive.org/35/items/sweet-home_202404/Sweet%20Home.mp3…
