Episode 37 – Fahrenheit 451 – 1966

We are burning bright like a pile of books doused in gasoline in this episode and it is all thanks to my two co-hosts. Jack Holmes is re- and Greg Rekus is joining FFPÖ and we have a blast at covering a true classic: Fahrenheit 451. We discuss old ladies, new technologies in the 60s, pill use and stomach pumps.

Episode 35 – Indien – India – 1993

The crazy talented Hanna Evensen is back and she brought us an additional co-host, represented in Paris. And since having two people here at the same time means that I lose all control over the situation, the podcast devolves and evolves very quickly. I didn’t have that much fun in a while and we discuss one of the true modern classics, Indien, and we get very, very serious about it.

Episode 34 – The Odessa File – Die Akte Odessa – 1974

A very serious movie gets the very serious FFPÖ-treatment and we have one of the best new co-hosts to help us out: the funny and insightful Sonja Pikart discusses with me topics such us: 70s progressiveness, German sleeping culture, laziness, great set design and Chekhov’s gun.

Episode 33 – Schoolgirl Report Part 1: What Parents Don’t Think Is Possible – 1970

Since we covered the second part of this movie anthology (and it was the most successful FFPÖ episode to date) we thought we cover the first part of this colorful German/Austrian) phenomenon! Tamas Vamos is the best co-host for this cause and we talk about vats of ejaculate, horse on horse fantasies and 70s moralities. It is just as fun as the first time around.

Episode 25 – Silentium – 2004

Luke Hacker is back and we continue our journey through the Brenner-series of movies with one of the strongest entries. Salzburg provides the perfect background for this intriguing story about murder, suicide, big money, big opera and being reborn in the eyes of the Lord! And we try to derive humor from it.

Episode 22 – Schoolgirl Report Part 2: What Keeps Parents Awake at Night – 1971

FFPÖ follows through on a request that wasn’t taken lightly and we got the perfect co-host to make it so: Jack Holmes joins me this time to discuss female empowerment, weird acting, 10 plots, surprise twists, German/Austrian attempts at humor and one of the greatest intro songs of all time.

Episode 21 – Der Knochenmann – The Bone Man – 2009

Luke Hacker is my gracious co-host this time and we try to be as fun as we can, while talking about eating people in this here proto-Hannibal film. And the movie shows that preparing humans is as disgusting or as delicious as you want it to be. A movie so Austrian in its core, that you will find it hard to not party afterwards with a Schnitzel in your mouth and Mozart in your ears. Now listen to us ramble on about it for more than an hour!

Episode 20 – Die Piefke Saga – Der Skandal – 1990

A real Austrian classic, is the target of the 20th episode of FFPÖ and I pulled out a good amount of stops for you guys: we have our first “professional” co-host with us this time in the great Tommy Meyer-Ortiz. He and I wax poetically about the Austrian landscape, the rift between Austrians and Germans, stereotypes and the crushing realism, that this movie portraits, without being to cynical or evil. But as always, tangents are ahead and we get lost a few times in the woods mad out of our own words.

Also, I lie about it being a two-parter at the end of the episode, disregard that.

Episode 15 – Aufschneider (Sang chaud et chambre froide) – Teil 1 – 2010

Merry Christmas everyone, what better way to celebrate this wonderful season than to listen to a new episode of FFPÖ? Because nothing says Happy Holidays more than a super, super dark comedy made by the Austrian master himself, Josef Hader, in a co-production with ARTE. Organs get stolen, people get harassed, cars get smashed, alcohol is consumed and dialogue so cringy that your toenails will bend up, all in all the perfect complement for the season and Nelly and I are trying to give it appropriate frame.
