John Darnielle's Closet Picks 

Like when you walk into a Blockbuster or Hollywood Video

Not as surreal as the fact that you didn't refer to them as "ex-friends."

@@Theomite they are definitely keepers

I was with my boyfriend and a couple we're mutual friends with and asked one of them if he'd like to watch Salo. My boyfriend turned to our other friend and immediately said "Do you want to do LITERALLY anything else?"

Mad respect. I wouldn’t have the stones to show it blind without offering some social commentary. Me? I’m always pushing Sweet Movie to anyone who will take a chance...

It's still good to hear it again.

I find No Regrets for Our Youth is very overlooked.

@@tygerstripes3752 🎯🎯🎯💯🙏🏼 (One of my top 3 artists of all time... along with Kubrick & Fellini.) Same with hearing someone rave about the brilliance of Toshiro Mifune

@@thecinematicmind I've only seen Seven Samurai, Ikiru, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, and High And Low.

@@joshuabrown3361 Currently No Regrets, The Most Beautiful, Rashomon and Seven Samurai I have seen.

Their best since Goths

My boy took the Bruce Lee collection, too!

Mifune was a God of acting. Kurosawa had the perfect muse, much like Ozu has Hara Setsuko.

Lmao didn’t he feature on Aesop Rock’s song Coffee?

you left out "Company"

He's full of energy when it comes to anything!

@@scotey Yeah he's just enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all sorts of art

Extemporaneous: Composed, performed, or uttered on the spur of the moment Had to google that one

@@TekWarfare thank you for your service

Love the sarcasm here 😂 ….

One of my absolute favorite Criterion films! He'll absolutely love it. One of Scorsese's Top 10 Criterion films. Please upgrade it to Blu-Ray, Criterion...

Makes a great double feature with Battle of Algiers

Haven't seen it yet but I saw Rosi's Illustrious Corpses last year at Film Forum and loved it. I am putting Salvatore Giuliano on my queue!

I caught that as well!

Can never go wrong with Seijun Suzuki! Just recently bought _Story Of A Prostitute..._ and _Gate Of Flesh..._ and _Tokyo Drifter..._ AND _Branded To Kill,_ actually! 🥰😍😁

@@Jimmy1982Playlists Quality (with a capital Q)

I think it’s mentioned in the closet picks for the 5 standups. I know Jabukie Young-White is in that one

@@markwalsh478 thank you Mark, I’ll check it out.

He voices his own audiobooks, I found that out with Devil House actually!

@@catharticgemini Oh cool!

Sondheim too.

Her motive, as Gage presents it, was simple fear. Her story is included because of what it tells us about Gage (particularly his ideas about the sanctity of certain spaces and his sympathies for troubled youth) and how his writing usually goes (in contrast to the story of Devil House, which he refuses to tell straight). It also provides context for the letter he gets later, which in turn is crucial to understanding his own motivations.

@@spacechad4749 Thanks for that

Same here. I can watch blood, torture, whatever but anything with feces/vomit/pus/body fluids I can’t stand

Who cares? Personally, I always get excited for these videos, regardless of who's the guest. That being said, when I see someone I recognize as a guest on these videos (like Rodrigo Prieto), I'm always happy

same, so I look them up and check out there stuff.

*their

@@hellohello6510 Damn autocorrect. Am I right?

Perfect opportunity to explore John's music, you won't regret it!

Fasha pig spotted

What do you think Salò is about?

@@barrybenson4158 it's a communist homosexual trying to frighten people from opposing his worldview.

actual room temperature IQ shit lmao. how did you even find your way to this channel?

@@dystopiabeach umm because I appreciate good films and have good taste?...why else?
