このコンテンツについて

From summer blockbusters to indie darlings, Talking Pondo celebrates the joy of watching, questioning, and occasionally roasting the movies that shape our lives.


Every week, hosts Clif Campbell and Marty Ketola sit down to swap movies and swap opinions. Each of them brings a film to the table and together they dig into what makes it work (or not). Sometimes, there's a guest!

Whether you’re a casual moviegoer or a die-hard cinephile, there’s always room more movie talk.


And yes, there will be spoilers!


Making Pondo is a discussion with Clif, Marty and a guest from one of their many productions.

    Talking Pondo: Rare Exports and The Ref With Jessica Stone

    In this episode, Jessica Stone joins the podcast. She brings along the movie Rare Exports. Marty and Clif give Jessica the movie The Ref to watch.

    This milestone episode gets it's start with Ted Demme’s The Ref (1994). The trio breaks down Dennis Leary’s breakout performance as a cat burglar forced into referee duty for a brutally unhappy family, discussing the film’s sharp dialogue, performative holiday traditions, and why its mix of rage, therapy, and forced honesty still works decades later.

    The conversation then shifts north - way north - with Rare Exports (2010), a Finnish holiday horror film that re-imagines Santa Claus as something far older and far more dangerous. The group digs into what makes the film so effective, how it contrasts with The Ref, and why both movies ultimately tap into the same holiday anxieties in very different ways.

    It’s funny, unhinged, thoughtful - and the perfect way to ring in 100 episodes of Talking Pondo.

    In this episode, Marty gives Clif the movie Return of the Jedi to watch and Clif gives Marty the movie Local Hero to watch.

    Clif and Marty revisit 1983 by pairing two very different films released just weeks apart: Return of the Jedi and Local Hero.

    They break down what makes this moment in movie history so unique: from the large-scale filmmaking and iconic imagery of Jedi to the quiet charm and character-driven storytelling of Local Hero. The conversation dives into performances, themes, and the shifting tone of early-80s cinema, with thoughtful insight into how both films have continued to influence audiences and filmmakers.

  • Talking Pondo: The Empire Strikes Back and The Right Stuff

    In this episode, Marty gives Clif the movie The Empire Strikes Back to watch and Clif gives Marty the movie The Right Stuff to watch.

    This week on Talking Pondo, Marty and Clif dive into a double feature: the unaltered Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and the epic aviation drama The Right Stuff.

    From space chimps and Wampa attacks to the bleak brilliance of early-80s filmmaking, the guys break down why Empire still defines modern sci-fi and how The Right Stuff captures the birth of American spaceflight. They dig into deleted scenes, production quirks, the evolution of special effects, Yoda puppetry, Han-and-Leia chemistry, and why 1983 was such a weird, magical year for movies.

    It’s film analysis mixed with nostalgia, overthinking, mild confusion, and emotional support Wampas. Classic Pondo chaos.
