Love Streams

The John Cassavetes Podcast


This is Allison. She’s a filmmaker.

This is John. He’s a film studies scholar.


They’re married to each other, which is slightly obnoxious, and if there’s one thing that holds their irritating marriage together, it’s a shared fascination with the films of American film director, John Cassavetes.

In “Love Streams: The John Cassavetes Podcast,” John and Allison unpack one Cassavetes film per episode (and not necessarily in chronological order). Join them for conversations about acting, improvisation, production history, friendship, noise, the murky boundary between sincerity and performance, appropriate social behavior, inappropriate social behavior, strategies for duping distributors into buying your film, vomit, phone acting, doofy music, and so much more.


Episode 3, Part 2: FACES (After You Watch) Love Streams: The John Cassavetes Podcast

Welcome back to "Love Streams: The John Cassavetes Podcast," a show in which a filmmaker and a film studies scholar (who just happened to be married to each other) unpack the movies directed by American director, John Cassavetes. In this episode, Allison and John dive deep into Cassavetes' 1968 masterpiece, Faces, and boy-oh-boy, is there a lot to discuss! Highlights include: the Red Meat song; Allison's explanation of why she doesn't care much for Easter Eggs (spoiler alert: she sounds like a bit of a jerk); John's pontifications about Cassavetes as a finance filmmaker; venerations of Dorothy Gulliver; how freedom becomes a form of control; how control becomes a form of freedom; even more Diet Pepsi (God help us); the role of real estate in filmmaking; feeling disappointed in your kids; Army shoes; marketing jargon; how capitalism infects your love life; reasons why you should never let yourself run out of cigarettes; and so much more.
