Talking Pondo

Talking Pondo Every week, hosts Clif Campbell and Marty Ketola sit down to swap movies and swap opinions. Sometimes, there's a guest!

Each of them brings a film to the table and together they dig into what makes it work (or not).

We start with "Arrival," through a discussion of language, grief, nonlinear time, and whether Denis Villeneuve’s cerebral style is immersive genius or frustratingly distant.

Clif and Marty welcome back returning guest favorite Jessica Stone for two wildly different but unexpectedly connected films, Arrival and Only Lovers Left Alive.

The conversation starts with Arrival, through a discussion of language, grief, nonlinear time, and whether Denis Villeneuve’s cerebral style is immersive genius or frustratingly distant. Jessica brings sharp observations about symbolism, sound design, and the heptapods, while Marty offers a spirited dissent that sparks one of the episode’s best debates.

Then the crew moves into the dreamy, undead world of Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive, revisiting the vampire genre through a very different lens.

It’s an episode about aliens, immortality, loss, communication, and whether time might really be a flat circle.
