- [#200 - Folie à deux cent](https://theflicklab.com/2025/12/31/200-folie-a-deux-cent/): Is this the end, beautiful friend? Karri and Henrik swim down memory lane, going through all their most memorable moments from the podcast over 7 years and 200 episodes. Time to pop the champagne! Over the years, the duo has made observations about the natural evolution of the show. In its humble beginnings, the episodes followed a strict scene-by-scene analysis and near-obsessive levels of breakdown – from the tiniest technical details such as Michael Myers’ gait in Halloween 4 (1988), to theories about space-travel times and synodic planetary alignments in A Trip to Mars (1918), and the merciless tear-down of […]
- [#199 - Tsai Ming-liang's Days (2020) - Peace, Pain and Letting Go - Film Analysis](https://theflicklab.com/2025/12/11/199-tsai-ming-liangs-days-2020-peace-pain-and-letting-go/): A disillusioned, recuperating, lonely man. Another man in a faraway country. Both looking for something. A chance encounter. Peace, pain, departure. Tenderness, impermanence, aching and beyond the senses. Equanimity, disillusionment, hunger, growth. Touch, the passage of time, and letting go. And also a lot of really damn long takes. Karri also deeply reflects on how Tsai’s sense of emotional reorientation towards cinema strongly resonates with Karri and reflects his journey with The Flick Lab. Films covered in this episode:Days (2020) Hosted by Karri Ojala and Henrik Telkki. Edited by Karri Ojala. The Flick Lab theme tune performed by Nick Grivell.
- [#198 - Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3 - Still Seaworthy, or Rotting Below Deck?](https://theflicklab.com/2025/10/08/pirates-of-the-caribbean-1-3/): In this episode, we dive deep into the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films directed by Gore Verbinski – The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End. Why did a movie based on a theme park ride redefine the blockbuster? Is Jack Sparrow such an iconic character as is generally accepted? Karri and Henrik hold many split views – who could’ve seen that coming. Films covered in this episode:Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006)Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007) Hosted […]
- [#197 - Judge Dredd vs Judge Dredd: Political Satire or Fascism? - Film Analysis](https://theflicklab.com/2025/08/12/197-judge-dredd-vs-judge-dredd-political-satire-or-fascism-film-analysis/): From 1995’s Stallone spectacle to 2012’s Karl Urban reboot, Judge Dredd straddles a bizarre line between political satire and fascist power fantasy. In this episode of The Flick Lab, Karri and Henrik break down the paradox; is Dredd a warning against authoritarianism, or a celebration of it? Even more importantly, what may be the behavioral consequences to our societies? We’ll discuss the character’s comic book origins, compare the two movies, and explore how a supposed critique of fascism can still end up fueling the very fantasy it condemns. Films covered in this episode:Judge Dredd (1995)Dredd (2012) Hosted by Karri Ojala […]
- [#196 - Hannibal Lecter: Complete Film Series Analysis (Manhunter to Hannibal Rising)](https://theflicklab.com/2025/07/08/196-hannibal-lecter-complete-film-series-analysis-manhunter-to-hannibal-rising/): The Silence of the Lambs catapulted Anthony Hopkins to global stardom. Thomas Harris’ novels have lead the series forward, even by forcing the writer’s hand to continue the story. What has made the films resonate? Has the series been standing largely on his shoulders, or is there more to it? Why do audiences and even the author increasingly sympathize with a serial killer character? Films covered in this episode:Manhunter (1986)The Silence of the Lambs (1991)Hannibal (2001)Red Dragon (2002)Hannibal Rising (2006) Hosted by Karri Ojala and Henrik Telkki. Edited by Karri Ojala.

- [#195 - Possession (1981) - A Film Like No Other](https://theflicklab.com/2025/05/27/195-possession-1981-a-film-like-no-other/): At its surface, Possession (1981) can be described as an exploration of identity dissolution, grief, and transformation. However, this characterization scarcely captures the film’s psychological intensity, depth and impact. It stands as one of the most disturbing films we’ve analyzed on The Flick Lab. Films covered in this episode:Possession (1981) Film recommended by Nick Vaky from Mint Volcano Youtube channel. Hosted by Karri Ojala and Henrik Telkki. Edited by Karri Ojala.

- [#194 – 12 Films in 12 Months?! Indie Filmmaker Joel Haver's Wild Experiment - Film Analysis](https://theflicklab.com/2025/04/19/194-12-films-in-12-months-indie-filmmaker-joel-havers-wild-experiment-film-analysis/): Joel Haver is a Canadian indie filmmaker and YouTuber known for his experimental film projects. In an ambitious move last year, he set out to create 12 films in 12 months. What might have motivated such a demanding challenge? And how could this rapid production schedule influence the perceived quality of the films? With modern technology drastically lowering the barrier to entry for aspiring filmmakers, how much do tools versus talent truly impact the final product? The Flick Lab decided to explore this question by watching two of Haver’s films. Note: This episode was recorded in November 2024, prior to […]
- [#193 - Alien: Romulus (2024) - Worth the Hype?](https://theflicklab.com/2025/03/06/alien-romulus-2024-worth-the-hype/): Is Alien Romulus the greatest Alien movie since James Cameron’s Aliens, or an overhyped letdown? Let’s find out. Films covered in this episode:Alien: Romulus (2024) Hosted by Karri Ojala and Henrik Telkki. Edited by Karri Ojala. The Flick Lab theme tune performed by Nick Grivell.
- [#192 - Alien: Covenant (2017) - End of the Unended - Film Analysis](https://theflicklab.com/2024/11/27/192-alien-covenant-2017-end-of-the-unended-film-analysis/): Following Ridley Scott’s Alien-prequel-spinoff Prometheus came Alien Covenant. It was expected to deliver both on audience expectations (Aliens appearing in an Alien franchise) and to provide some answers to the questions presented by Prometheus. In a way, neither would be delivered on. What’s the legacy of Alien Covenant, now that the further sequels to Ridley Scott’s storyline have been effectively cancelled? Films covered in this episode:Alien: Covenant (2017) Hosted by Karri Ojala and Henrik Telkki. Edited by Karri Ojala. The Flick Lab theme tune performed by Nick Grivell.
- [#191 - Prometheus (2012) - Was Jesus an Alien, Ridley Scott? - Film Analysis](https://theflicklab.com/2024/09/03/191-prometheus-2012-was-jesus-an-alien-ridley-scott-film-analysis/): Prometheus is the return of director Ridley Scott to the Alien franchise. This is in fact a standalone story based on the same Alien universe, but not an Alien movie per se. It provides ample story elements, but are most of them driven to any conclusion? Do the writers and the director even know the meaning of their own plot threads? Karri and Henrik also discuss the film’s atmosphere, the character’s decision-making, Ridley’s ‘space jesus’ concept, and other topics. Films covered in this episode:Prometheus (2012) Hosted by Karri Ojala and Henrik Telkki. Edited by Karri Ojala. The Flick Lab theme […]

What could be behind the venomous hate towards “Alien: Resurrection”? Is this the lowest point in the franchise, or is that still yet to come? Is “Alien: Resurrection” successful at its self-parody? Hear how Henrik makes his case for “Alien: Resurrection” and Karri argues against it. Films covered in this episode:Alien: Resurrection (1997)
- [#189 - Alien 3 (1992) Film Analysis - Director David Fincher's Nightmare](https://theflicklab.com/2024/06/16/189-alien-3-1992-film-analysis-director-david-finchers-nightmare/): Alien 3 was a nightmare production for the first-time feature director David Fincher. As the young master was trying to put together the best film he could under the circumstances, the studio and even scriptwriters kept interfering with his attempts at applying his vision to a material that he had only few weeks to mull over before shooting had to begin. This combined with onset antics and disagreements between actors. What came out keeps splitting the fan base to this day. Is Alien 3 actually a much better film than its reputation? Films covered in this episode:Alien 3 (1992) Hosted […]
- [#188 - Aliens (1986) Film Analysis - Why it's a Sci-Fi Masterpiece](https://theflicklab.com/2024/05/20/188-aliens-1986-film-analysis-why-its-a-sci-fi-masterpiece/): The Flick Lab rarely indulges in hyperbolic adulation or labels films as masterpieces. However, we do consider James Cameron’s Aliens (1986) to be a masterpiece. This landmark film in the sci-fi genre transformed the Alien franchise into a global phenomenon. In this episode, we delve into the film’s themes, the shift from slow burn to action, the bug hunt aspect, character dynamics, Alien genetics and reproduction, plausibility of Burke’s schemes, the differences between the Theatrical and Special Edition, Vietnam War allegories, the tech of Aliens, and more. Films covered in this episode:Aliens (1986)
- [#187 - From Artistic Roots to Industry Truths](https://theflicklab.com/2024/04/28/187-from-artistic-roots-to-industry-truths/): Karri and Henrik delve into their personal experiences from their artistic roots and TV/media industry. Among the discussion points are Karri’s loss of interest in the industry, the industry’s brutality, the tools they’ve utilized in media, advancements in editing on Linux, the debate over high-framerate in the film industry, challenges with high-resolution remasters of old films, AI enhancement, and other topics. Hosted by Karri Ojala and Henrik Telkki. Edited by Karri Ojala. The Flick Lab theme tune performed by Nick Grivell.

Is it a story about transcending mediocrity to achieve brilliance in your chosen art, in this case, drumming? Alternatively, is Whiplash a gripping tale of a descent into madness, fueled by a mentorship gone awry? Perhaps it is neither, and instead, a narrative that simply observes ambiguity. Does Whiplash communicate an empowering message or potentially something harmful?

But instead of nationalistic fervor, do the movies accidentally end up communicating more about Chinese political frustrations, weaknesses, or perhaps even revealing a Chinese state-level inferiority complex?

Is it a glorious high or an uninspiring return to form? While Karri struggles to locate the movie’s identity or anything truly worthwhile, Henrik takes a more generous view but admits that time has dulled some of its luster. As they dive deeper, the hosts explore the film’s influence on the subsequent ‘Mission’ movies and whether they surpassed its achievements.
