Talking Pondo: Running Time and Sinners
Description
In this episode, Marty gives Clif the movie Running Time to watch and Clif gives Marty the movie Sinners to watch. Includes a season recap!
First up is Running Time, the black-and-white, real-time heist thriller directed by Josh Becker and starring Bruce Campbell. Shot to appear as a single take, the film leans into guerrilla film making energy and cult sensibilities. Marty and Clif break down the strengths of its momentum and ambition, and whether the experiment fully pays off.
Then it’s on to Sinners, a contemporary genre film packed with symbolism, social commentary, and big thematic swings. The conversation turns toward modern film making, allegory versus overt messaging, and how we judge movies in the moment versus years later.
