In this episode, Dan and Jaime review the recently released science fiction short film Slice of Life. Described as a love letter to similar films of the 1980s, directors Luka Hrgović and Dino Julius craft a world so authentically and perfectly, the only comparison that holds up is Ridley Scott’s genre defining film Blade Runner, released in 1982.
Join us as we review the film and discuss all of the love and care that went into its magnificent creation.

Dan, Patrick, and Jaime wrap up a two part series on the films of Denis Villeneuve. In this episode they cover why Villeneuve may have been chosen for Blade Runner 2049, his directing style and approach, as he helmed what proved to be the riskiest of sequels ever to have been made.

For many fans in the English-speaking world, Blade Runner 2049 was their first exposure to the work of Denis Villeneuve. But for those lucky enough to have discovered his oeuvre earlier—whether through his searing Canadian work or his Hollywood breakthrough in the early 2010s—Blade Runner 2049 was confirmation of what they likely already knew: Denis Villeneuve is a talent of the very highest caliber.
In this next entry of our extended exploration into Blade Runner 2049, Dan, Jaime, and Patrick discuss Denis’ unique filmmaking gifts through the lens of his previous films, laying the groundwork for our next conversation on how those gifts helped make Blade Runner 2049 the miracle we know it to be today.

Blade Runner (1982) is singular in that it's a film that never asked for a sequel, nor, arguably, did it need one. In 2017, despite a lack of demand, the world, and fandom was given a sequel. In this second entry in our new series, covering Blade Runner: 2049, Dan, Patrick, and Jaime discuss whether or not Blade Runner needed a sequel, and where fandom was before the news of 2049.

In 1980, David Lynch, widely known for his avant-garde cinema aesthetic, briefly changed course and released one of the best pictures of the 20th Century. The Elephant Man, starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, Sir John Hurt, and Anne Bancroft took critics and audiences by storm with its depiction of John Merrick, a real man that lived in breathed in turn of the century England.
Jaime, and special guest Mark Deckard dive into The Elephant Man, and all of the questions surrounding his story.

So why didn’t it fly under the radar? Because Spider-Verse is, from the very first frame to the very final one, complete magic. Not only did it win the Academy Award in its category, it won against a Pixar film—the first time a non-Disney/Pixar film won Best Animated Feature in nearly a decade. By the time it left theaters in 2019, it was on nearly every major critics’ top ten list—and many outlets placed it among the very best films of its decade.
In this installment of Frame Rate, Dan and Patrick talk about some of the (seemingly infinite) threads with which Into the Spider-Verse spins its magic.
