Double Feature: Time for musicals with ‘Chicago,’ ‘The Umbrellas of Cherbourg’ by Indiana Daily Student

Welcome back to Double Feature, the IDS film podcast where the powers that be let us in a podcast booth to give you hot takes and maybe some lukewarm ones too. For some musicians, the confines of the traditional three-minute music video just aren’t enough. This week, hosts Annie Aguiar and Chris Forrester discuss “Guava Island” and “Lemonade,” two recent music films at the top of what the medium can be. “Guava Island,” released April 13 on Amazon Prime Video, is a 55-minute-long showcase of the music of Donald Glover, better known by his stage name Childish Gambino. The film tells the story of a musician, played by Glover, on a strictly-controlled island who is trying to organize a music festival for everyone to enjoy. When Beyoncé’s 65-minute-long film “Lemonade” premiered on HBO, it became a cultural moment. The film, which is approaching its third anniversary next week, isn’t quite a traditional narrative film; it’s divided into eleven chapters, one for each song on the album excluding “Formation.” Each

Welcome back to Double Feature, the IDS film podcast where the powers that be let us in a podcast booth to give you hot takes and maybe some lukewarm ones, too. A darty playing music too loudly, alumni coming back to town in hordes, townies preparing for likely inevitable mayhem. It is undeniably Little 500 season in Bloomington. Called “The World’s Greatest College Weekend,” Little 500 is an IU tradition so important to the local culture, it even has its own movie. “Breaking Away,” released in 1979 and written by IU alumnus Steve Tesich, tells the story of a group of 19-year-old Bloomington residents and the divide between IU students and those living in the town, centered on the Little 500 race itself. This week hosts Annie Aguiar and Chris Forrester watched “Breaking Away” for the first time, and thankfully they both loved it. In this episode, they discuss the movie and how weird it is to watch a movie filmed where you walk to class every day.

As the season premiere of "Game of Thrones" approaches, the show's devoted audience is bubbling with questions: who will live? Who will die? Who is going to end up on the Iron Throne once and for all, or will it not matter anymore after the White Walkers destroy humanity? In this special one-off podcast, "Game of Thrones" devotees and IDS staffers Nyssa Kruse, Ellen Hine and Laurel Demkovich discuss their predictions for the new season. The big topics include what will become of Daenerys Targaryen, whether the highly anticipated showdown between brothers Sandor "The Hound" Clegane and Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane — #CLEGANEBOWL — will actually happen and more.

Welcome back to Double Feature, the IDS film podcast where the powers that be let us in a podcast booth to give you hot takes and maybe some lukewarm ones too. For the most part, American animation consists of only children's movies. While studios such as Pixar and Laika produce gorgeous and thoughtful films, at a certain point the limitation of ratings can take away from the work itself. The movies are beautiful, yes, but they're still for kids. Where are the animated thrillers? Where are the animated films that verge on the disturbing, the challenging, the questionable? The answer: Japan. This week, hosts Annie Aguiar and Chris Forrester discuss "Akira" and "Perfect Blue," two influential and influential movies that happen to also be anime. "Akira" tells the story of a youth biker gang in the futuristic, cyberpunk metropolis of Neo-Tokyo, set in the then-impossibly far away year of 2019. Since its release in 1988, the movie has gained a cult following and is occasionally credited with introducing au

It took sophomore infielder Drew Ashley 19 games to hit his first home run as a Hoosier. But when the ball left his bat in the 12th inning against Illinois on April 28, 2018, it gave IU a walk-off win and showed fans what Ashley was capable of. He would be named to the All-Big Ten Freshman team when the season ended and has been a key piece in the lineup for IU under new Head Coach Jeff Mercer this season. Ashley joined Indiana Daily Student baseball beat reporters Stefan Krajisnik and Jared Rigdon to discuss this season and his career with the Hoosiers.

Welcome back to Double Feature, the IDS film podcast where the powers that be let us in a podcast booth to give you hot takes and maybe some lukewarm ones, too.  The movie-going audience is buzzing about “Us,” the new movie from sketch comedian-turned-horror auteur Jordan Peele. Peele dominated the cultural conversation in 2017 with his hit directorial debut and racial parable “Get Out,” so anticipation for “Us” has been high ever since the trailer was uploaded to YouTube in December. The movie stars Lupita Nyong’o as Adelaide Wilson, a woman who returns to her childhood home with her family, with “Black Panther” standout actor Winston Duke playing her husband and formidable child actors Evan Alex and Shahadi Wright Joseph playing the couple’s two children. The family is accosted by four strangers who break into their house, and the intruders are revealed to be red jumpsuit-wearing doppelgangers of the Wilson family. On this week’s episode, hosts Annie Aguiar and Chris Forrester discuss “Us,” the film’s s

Welcome back to Double Feature, the IDS film podcast where the powers that be let us in a podcast booth to give you hot takes and maybe some lukewarm ones, too. On this week's episode, hosts Annie Aguiar and Chris Forrester still aren't ready to admit it's not spring break anymore, but it's a little easier to admit with two twisted tales of vacations gone wrong: 2015's "A Bigger Splash" and 2012's "Spring Breakers." "A Bigger Splash" is the second film in director Luca Guadagnino's self-described Desire trilogy, which ended in 2017 with the hit romance "Call Me by Your Name." It tells the story of famous rock singer Marianne Lane, played by Tilda Swinton, vacationing on a small Italian island with her lover Paul. The vacation promptly gets interrupted by the appearance of Harry — Marianne's ex and Paul's former mentor — and his daughter Penelope. "Spring Breakers" is a crime-filled, neon-colored spectacle of bikinis, cocaine and Britney Spears covers with James Franco on the piano. It's a lot. Distributed

IU baseball is on its longest winning streak of the season after defeating Indiana State University on Tuesday. With five consecutive wins under their belt, the Hoosiers will return to Bart Kaufman Field this weekend to open up Big Ten play. IU will take on Iowa in a three-game series.

Welcome back to Double Feature, the IDS film podcast where the powers that be let us in a podcast booth to give you hot takes and maybe some lukewarm ones too. For every movie that fits into the film noir genre, there seems to be three commenting upon the genre and its tenets. The world of mysterious dames, hard-nosed detectives and unraveling layers of intrigue started in American cinema in the 1920s and lasted until the late 1950s, but the echoes of the style carry decades past that time frame. On this week’s episode of Double Feature, hosts Annie Aguiar and Chris Forrester discuss the 1958 film noir classic “Vertigo” and the 2001 neo-noir surrealist film “Mulholland Drive.” “Vertigo,” directed by the legendary so-called master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock, follows the story of a former detective suffering from vertigo who is hired to follow the wife of an acquaintance. In 2012, it replaced “Citizen Kane” as the greatest film ever made in the British Film Institute’s Sight & Sound critics’ poll. The Dav

Coming off a three-game sweep at the University of Tennessee, IU baseball needed to come back strong. It wasn't easy, but IU went 4-1 last week, including a win against then-No. 21 University of Connecticut and a near win against then-No. 11 Coastal Carolina University. Up next will be another tough weekend for the Hoosiers. Indiana Daily Student baseball beat reporters Stefan Krajisnik and Jared Rigdon look back at the past week for the team while looking ahead to the Safeco Field Tournament.

There's been a dramatic change in fortunes and postseason hopes for the IU men's basketball team. The Hoosiers have won their last two games, both at home inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, and both against teams ranked in the top 20 of the Associated Press poll. As such, IU is right back in the thick of the discussion to be included as an at-large team in the 68-team NCAA Tournament field. Indiana Daily Student men's basketball reporter Cameron Drummond, women's basketball reporter Stefan Krajisnik as well as Indiana University Student Television men's basketball and IDS baseball reporter Jared Rigdon try to make sense of IU's recent performances and discuss what IU has to do the rest of the season to reach the NCAA Tournament.

Now that the dust has settled after the 91st Annual Academy Awards, this cursed Oscars season is officially over, with some mixed results. On this week's episode of Double Feature, hosts Annie Aguiar and Chris Forrester discuss the highs and lows of Oscars night. The most awarded film of the night was "Bohemian Rhapsody," with four wins, and the Best Picture award went to "Green Book" — two movies that have received criticism for both their messaging and the people behind the camera. Olivia Colman won Best Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Queen Anne in "The Favourite," a surprising upset over Glenn Close's performance in "The Wife." Mexican writer and director Alfonso Cuarón won three Oscars for his film "Roma": Best Director, Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography.
