Talking Pondo

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 for 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.

In this episode, Marty gives Clif the movie Jawbreaker to watch and Clif gives Marty the movie Wrong to watch.

First up is the dark teen satire Jawbreaker. When a birthday prank gone wrong leaves the most popular girl at school dead, a trio of queen bees scramble to cover up the crime. The guys explore the film’s campy tone, its attempt at biting social satire, and whether its over the top aesthetic actually works.

Then things get truly bizarre with the offbeat indie Wrong. The story follows a man searching for his missing dog, but the journey spirals into dream logic, unexplained symbolism, and scenes that feel deliberately disconnected from reality. Marty and Clif debate whether the film’s surreal style is meaningful artistic expression or simply weird for the sake of being weird.
