Murasaki Nights nasce nel 2022 da serate tra amici illuminate da neon viola e accompagnate da musica giapponese rigorosamente citypop! Nasce tra risate, caoticità, strategia e smarrimento. Nasce dalla nostra voglia di divertirci accompagnata da un pizzico di speranza di essere utili a chi, come noi, si è trovato per la prima volta a giocare e si è detto “eh? Aspetta che cerco un tutorial..”. Abbiamo deciso di presentarvi soprattutto giochi che ancora non si trovano in lingua italiana, ma che ...

Editing is one of the most important and fascinating jobs in cinema, but also one of the least discussed and understood. We are Pierpaolo Filomeno, Beppe Leonetti, Anna Savchenko and Gabriele Borghi, and our job is to edit movies. Like in a group therapy session, in this podcast we chat with our colleagues to share fears, obsessions, and secrets of the most solitary job in cinema. Editors Anonymous started in 2021 as an Italian podcast but now offers episodes in either Italian or English - c ...

“Ho conosciuto Kurt Cobain - La storia dei Nirvana in Italia” è un podcast narrativo in 7 puntate realizzato nel trentennale dalla scomparsa di Kurt Cobain. “HCKC” è una serie podcast a taglio documentaristico con interviste e suoni di repertorio: un mosaico di aneddoti e racconti di chi a quei concerti era presente, di chi li ha organizzati, dei gestori dei locali, di chi ha conosciuto personalmente i componenti della band. Un road movie sonoro che conduce lungo i tragitti percorsi dal furg ...

The Oscars. From a host that had us side-eyeing since the beginning, to the movies that actually mattered, we break it all down. We’re talking Conclave, Anora, The Substance—what worked, flopped, or was mere Oscars bait. Most importantly, which film from this year will stick around, and which will disappear into the void of forgettable Best Picture…

10 Academy Awards nominations made The Brutalist impossible for Aflojack to ignore. Moreover, architecture, period drama, and Adrian Brody are ingredients that tend to meet our tastes. And so it did, yet this film didn't quite live up to its premise. Great performances, visuals and score where not enough to satisfy us. Nevertheless, The Brutalist w…

In this episode, we take a wild ride through the Madame Web disaster.

"Emilia Pérez," the most talked-about and divisive film of the year, found an unexpected fan in the Black Sheep. Maybe our expectations were so low that it caught us off guard, or maybe we're just looking for something different in a movie than the rest of the public. From our favorite moments to the biggest controversies, we’re breaking it all dow…

Award season is always a thrill - unpredictable yet packed with predictions, including ours. From Costume Design to Best Picture, no category is a sure bet.

Our mind is still not fully made up about this one. Our key word? Potential. The expectations where there, but they haven't fully been meet. Is sex villainised or normalised?

The conclave is probably boring, but a movie about the conclave shouldn't be boring too. Even with brilliant actors and an incredible setting, this movie fails to deliver its message. It is so preoccupied with saying it all that it ends up saying nothing. Could this be the first non black sheep movie of 2025 among frontrunners for the Oscars? lbx: …

We. Are. Sat. Within the restricted time period in which this story takes place, Anora not only manages to capture our attention, she also leaves us wanting more. All of this, exposing a reality which is often not talked about enough. Maybe the lapdances clouded our judgement a little. But for us, this is a fat recommendation. Film: Anora (2024) Di…

We often focus so much on the finished pieces that we forget the trials and tribulations writers and producers endure to create a story that resonates deeply. This film captures the essence of creative struggle—the messy, uncertain journey of navigating life's shifting seasons, human connections, and personal growth. It’s a story that makes us feel…

Like it or not, Wicked (Jon M. Chu, 2024) is a phenomenon. Although Aflojack has discrepant opinions, the effort and respect put in all aspects of this movie must be acknowledged.

In a world where AI has taken over most human roles, it's easy for a lone man to develop a what-seems-genuine relationship with an Operating System.

The hype was there, and the disappointment was real. "Joker II: Folie à Deux" took an unexpected turn that didn’t quite match the tone of its predecessor.

A little catch up on the latest movie releases, before deep diving into what's really captured our attention this season. 2024 turned to be the year of Horror's great - and somewhat unfortunate - comeback, along with the never-ending plague of remakes and franchises, topped with the comfort that trashy movies aspire to give us.
