Southland Tales

In this surreal deep-dive, Bury Our Bones With Cinema host Ryan Etherington is joined by long time collaborator and film fan Simon Keet to unpack the sprawling, divisive, and utterly hypnotic enigma that is Richard Kelly’s 2006 sci-fi satire Southland Tales. A film that was booed at Cannes and buried on release, yet has since risen from the cinematic dead to become a cult classic, Southland Tales is the perfect specimen for the kind of cultural resurrection this podcast thrives on.
With its apocalyptic Los Angeles setting, time rifts, neo-Marxists, and a porn star prophet (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar), Kelly’s post-Donnie Darko fever dream is a chaotic mirror held up to post-9/11 America. Ryan and Simon dissect the film’s satirical politics, the casting of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and its prophetic lens on media manipulation and societal collapse. Along the way, they wrestle with questions of artistic ambition, narrative coherence, and whether a film this broken can still be beautiful.
Whether you’re a long-time defender of Southland Tales or a curious newcomer, this episode promises a passionate, cerebral ride through one of the most ambitious failures in 21st-century American cinema. Expect film theory, political commentary, and a fair dose of existential dread, all wrapped up in a tribute to the strange, the misunderstood, and the forgotten corners of the silver screen.

V For Vendetta

What happens when you mix a dystopian thriller, a Guy Fawkes mask, and just a little bit of Natalie Portman’s shaved head? You get V for Vendetta—the movie that made anarchists cool and every hacker on the internet feel like a revolutionary.
This week on Bury Our Bones With Cinema, host Ryan Etherington is joined by the ever-opinionated Simon Keet to break down this explosive (literally) classic. Is V a hero or just a very dramatic theatre kid with access to C4? Does Evey’s transformation make sense, or is it just Stockholm Syndrome with extra steps? And why does Hugo Weaving’s voice sound so… deliciously sinister?
Expect fiery debates, unhinged tangents, and at least one conspiracy theory about how this movie accidentally made a million teenagers think they could overthrow their government with a hoodie and a good monologue.

Dirty Harry/Magnum Force

In this action-packed episode of Bury Our Bones With Cinema, your fearless host Ryan Etherington is joined by Simon Keet for a deep dive into two iconic Clint Eastwood classics: Dirty Harry (1971) and Magnum Force (1973). The two films, packed with one-liners, moral ambiguity, and enough bad guy takedowns to make you question your own legal knowledge, get a thorough, no-holds-barred examination—with a side of snark.
Get ready for a conversation that’s as intense as Harry Callahan's glare and more explosive than the Magnum .44 itself. From “Do you feel lucky, punk?” to the shocking twist of Magnum Force, Ryan and Simon dissect the gritty, grizzled anti-hero that is Dirty Harry, unpacking his love for justice (and his absolute lack of patience for rules). Expect laughs, insight, and maybe even a few chuckles at how many criminals can get so much wrong in front of Harry’s cold, calculating eyes.
Is Clint Eastwood the ultimate symbol of '70s masculinity or just a man who really, really needs to talk about his feelings? Spoiler: it’s both. So, buckle up, pour yourself a stiff drink, and tune in—because if you don't, well, let's just say Harry won’t be happy... and you wouldn’t like him when he's unhappy.
Don't miss out—press play and join us for a deep dive into two films that are as influential as they are rewatchable. After all, you have to ask yourself: Do you feel lucky enough to skip this episode? (Spoiler: You don’t.)
