Footcandle Films

Hosted ByChris Frye & Alan Jackson

Do you like listening to people talk about films?  What about those films that may not show up at the local multiplex but are instead showing at the smaller specialty theater across town?  Then "Footcandle Films" may be the show for you.

A Quiet Woman Place Two in the Window

Alan & Chris ventured back to an actual brick and mortar theater to see the blockbuster release of “A Quiet Place Part II”. They review the film as well as discuss the straight-to Netflix thriller “The Woman in the Window” starring Amy Adams, Gary Oldman, Julianne Moore & Jennifer Jason Lee. Alan then shares three cinematic news items before both hosts close out the show with recommendations of films you might want to watch.

Reviews included in this episode: “A Quiet Place Part II”, “The Woman in the Window”

Recommendations from Alan and Chris: “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”, “Bo Burnham: Inside”

Alan Jackson is the co-founder of the Footcandle Film Society and resides in Hickory, NC. He enjoys a wide variety of films – but mainly those of Martin Scorsese, his all-time favorite Director. Despite liking smaller, independent films, Alan also likes films with giant monsters or where animals talk. Alan also thinks Citizen Kane deserves every bit of credit it ever gets.

Chris Frye, the other co-founder of Footcandle Film Society, is a fan of directors such as Stanley Kubrick, Terry Gilliam, and David Gordon Green. He lives in Newton, NC, and has always been a movie buff. His favorite actors range from Steve Coogan to Christoph Waltz to Jeff Bridges. You may be surprised to know he has never seen Dirty Dancing or Pretty in Pink (gasp!)
