On this episode of The Gala Show, Gala hangs out with actor Percy Hynes White (Wednesday, I Like Movies, The Gifted) to discuss his fascination with outsider art. Percy shares with Gala how he was introduced to outsider artists through the documentary Turning the Art World Inside Out, the objects he has collected over the year, and what draws him to the outsider — but first, a question about how growing up with creative parents influenced him growing up.

We return to the Wasteland this week with Furiosa, and we’ve got quite the tour guide. Kyle Buchanan - author of Blood, Sweat & Chrome, THE book on the making of Mad Max: Fury Road - joins us as we do a definitive post-mortem on George Miller’s latest. Going up against the reputation of Fury Road was always going to be an uphill battle for the Anya Taylor-Joy starrer, and we go into all the ways in which this film matches, exceeds, or misses the highs of 2015’s action classic. Kyle brings with him plenty of behind-the-scenes details and shrewd observations, and Ben and Griffin bring a visceral report from their 4DX screening. And yes - of course we talk about how Dementus looks just like Guru Pitka.

We're taking a trip to the Alps and searching for the Abominable Snowman in our first Godzilla-adjacent podcast episode.
This notorious film boasts a monster stronger than Godzilla himself and was so insensitive upon release that Toho had it banned and removed from distribution. Make a hot drink and pack your skis because this one is going to be fun!

In the first episode of a new mini series focusing on the filmography of Christopher Nolan, Griffin and David discuss the 1998 debut feature, Following. But how have conmen or “confidence men” influenced the director’s later work? How was the burgeoning filmmaker received by festivals? Is the uncensored director’s cut of Nutty Professor II: The Klumps worth viewing? Together they examine the extended Nolan family, Kevin Bacon getting Bernie Madoff’d, Griffin’s auteur video rental store and David’s recent dance moves. Also, BRAAAMS.

Come join the dream parade, folks - we’re talking about Paprika! Mother of the Blankies Emily Yoshida is with us to chat about Satoshi Kon’s final film - a film that FEELS like a swan song especially in hindsight. In this episode, we address the elephant in the room (those Inception comparisons), dive into the serialized story Paprika was based on, and Griffin makes the important connection between Paprika’s “DC mini” device and this being a “BC mini” (series). Plus, we establish 2024 as “The Year of Dreams” (Kon and Lynch on Blank Check!!), and Emily, Ben, and Griffin discuss their experience attending a special screening of Clifford with Martin Short himself.
Check out Shogun on FX and listen to Shogun: The Official Podcast hosted by Emily
