Repertory Screenings
Em Marko, Jackson Tyler, and Destiny Sturdivant
We eat our cinematic vegetables as we go deep into the past to dig out all the cool old movies that languish in our to-be-watched pile and talk about them one a fortnight!
To Live and Die in L.A.
We return to talk about William Friedkin’s inexplicably homoerotic and trashy exploration of the Secret Service and Willem Dafoe’s vibe. We have a great time. Tons of great questions this week.

The Verdict
We’re back with this famous story of a bad lawyer made good that kind of splits the Repertory Screenings cast. Though not really. Because we all kind of agree, but it’s mostly a matter of degree. But I would call this the rare bad(ish) Repertory Screenings movie, and it gives us plenty to talk about.Check out our letterboxd list if you’d like to see all the movies covered that way!

Repertory Screenings 104: Don't Look Now
Sometimes you watch one of those movies where a bunch of disparate things fall into place and you realize some of your favorite directors definitely watched this movie and lost their minds about it. Don’t Look Now is definitely one such movie! We enjoy the foggy streets of Venice, Donald Sutherland’s cartoonish frown, psychic abilities and their pitfalls, and the strange dream logic of grief.Check out our letterboxd list if you’d like to see all the movies covered that way!Send us any email ques

Repertory Screenings 103: Deep Cover
We head to the world of mood lighting, stupid cops, and the poetry of a life of crime as we all enjoy the rhythms and aesthetics of Deep Cover! This one’s a pretty silly movie, but I mean that in the kindest way possible. Truly the early 90s could just get away with a corny earnestness in genre work that is sorely missed.Check out our letterboxd list if you’d like to see all the movies covered that way!

Repertory Screenings 62: Synecdoche, New York
Art is life is art is life. Sometimes you reflect the world around you in your work, but the world around you is influenced by work. Sometimes you gaze into your navel, and the navel gazes back. Sometimes you’re aware of all of this, but that doesn’t prevent you from not doing it. We all are just getting through, as best we can. Anyway, this movie’s pretty funny.

Repertory Screenings 4: Daughters of the Dust
We take a journey through time along a single fixed place as history washes over us in Julie Dash’s indie classic, Daughters of the Dust. Come for incredible cinematography and fantastic performances, stay for Em and Jackson doing their best not to say something incriminatingly white. Most of all, settle in for a reminder that the families we have and create are our survival with this truly great film.Send us any email questions and comments about the movies we cover or movies in general to podc

We return from one tragic snowbound death to another as we sit for a while with the quiet and drifting Morvern Callar.

Repertory Screenings: Reboot Annoucement
Abnormal Mapping is doing a movie podcast again! After running one for a couple years in the distant, distant past, and a recent attempt waylaid by scheduling woes, a slot has opened up in the Abnormal Mapping schedule by Star Trek being bad enough that we don’t want to talk about it anymore. So Em and Jackson decided it was time to talk about movies instead, and they’re joined by Destiny Sturdivant. Not in this preview though, because her microphone was broken.Here’s the plan. The podcast is bi
