It might be Brief January, but this episode is just as long as the last! Worry not, faithful listener, we've devised a solution to this, which we explain near the end of this episode. In the meantime, tune in as the guys discuss 90-minute films and extended plays (EPs). The films are The Cameraman (1928, dir. Edward Sedgwick, Buster Keaton), Persona (1966, dir. Ingmar Bergman), and Dude, Where’s My Car? (2000, dir. Danny Leiner). The EPs are Watery, Domestic (1992), Why Does the Sun Shine? (The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas) (1994) by They Might Be Giants and Vroom Vroom (2016) by Charli XCX.

New year, new episode of the Code Purple Podcast. What better way to nurse that New Year's hangover than by unwinding to the soothing sound of Osian, Luke and James' film and album discussions? As well as the recent release The Mastermind (2025, dir. Kelly Reichardt), the guys discuss films and albums of the 2000s. The films are Adventureland (2009, dir. Greg Mottola), Electroma (2006, dir. Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo) and Dreamcatcher (2003, dir. Lawrence Kasdan). The albums are Chaos and Creation in the Backyard (2005) by Paul McCartney, Original Pirate Material (2002) by The Streets and From Under the Cork Tree (2005) by Fall Out Boy.

It looks like the Code Purple crew is back and committing to this bit. In this episode, the guys discuss the films and music of the '90s, as well as (somewhat) recent release, One Battle After Another (2025, dir. Paul Thomas Anderson). The film choices are: Clerks (1994, dir. Kevin Smith), Forget Paris (1995, dir. Billy Crystal) and Madadayo (1993, dir. Akira Kurosawa). The album choices are No Talking, Just Head (1996) by The Heads, Dry (1992) by PJ Harvey and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (1998) by Lauryn Hill.
